THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN MOVIE
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced release dates of July 24 for digital and August 7 for DVD/Blu-ray for The Death of Superman.
To watch a trailer for the movie, CLICK HERE.
Here's how Warner Bros. describes the movie:
"The Death of Superman ultimately finds Superman in a fight to the finish when the Man of Steel becomes the only hero who can stand in the way of the monstrous creature Doomsday and his unstoppable rampage of destruction. As the inaugural film in the DC Universe Movies series, Superman Doomsday told an abridged version of The Death Of Superman, DC Comics' landmark 1992-93 comic phenomenon. But with a runtime of 75 minutes, the film focused on a core, singular storyline. The new, animated The Death of Superman, the first of a two-part film experience that will conclude with Reign of the Supermen in early 2019, restores many of the moments and characters that fans hold dear to their hearts."
The cast is led by Jerry OfConnell and Rebecca Romijn and Rainn Wilson as the voices of Superman, Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, respectively. The potent trio is joined by the DC Universe Moviesf returning voices of the Justice League: Jason O'Mara as Batman, Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman, Shemar Moore as Cyborg, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern/Hal Jordan, and Christopher Gorham as The Flash.
Producer Sam Liu co-directs The Death of Superman with Jake Castorena from a script by Peter J. Tomasi. Executive producers are Sam Register and James Tucker.
Featurettes include: The Death of Superman: The Brawl That Topped Them All; A Sneak Peek at DC Universe's Next Animated Movie, Reign of the Supermen; and the two-part "Dark Victory" episode from Legion of Super-Heroes.

But enemies past and present, including Black Siren (Katie Cassidy), Vigilante (Johann Urb), Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo), Cayden James (Michael Emerson) and others, threaten him on all fronts.

But this is only the first move of a life-or-death chess game with Clifford DeVoe aka The Thinker (Neil Sandilands), a mastermind whofs always ten steps ahead of Barry, no matter how fast hefs running.
