Alan Moore's story provided Superman with a satisfying ending, and has several memorable moments including the death of Krypto, and the revelation of Mxyzptlk as the villainous mastermind. It even inspired a similar story titled "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader" (Written by Neil Gaiman), surrounding the death of Batman following Final Crisis. The story has a long-lasting legacy, with many regarding it as one of the best Superman stories of all time. In the final panel, Jordan winks at the reader, implying that he is the powerless Superman. As the story concludes, Lois talks to her husband, Jordan Elliot, as they watch over their son Jonathan, who strongly resembles Clark. Realizing he has broken his no-killing rule, the Man of Steel enters a gold kryptonite chamber that strips him of his powers and is never seen again. Unfortunately, he is killed when his body is caught between the Phantom Zone and the Fifth Dimension. Superman uses the Phantom Zone projector to try and capture him, but Mxyzptlk attempts to flee to the Fifth Dimension by saying his name backwards.
