Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the feature-length animated film arrives

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 all-star cast is led by Jerry
O’Connell (Crossing Jordan, Stand By Me),
Rebecca Romijn (X-Men, The Librarians)
and Rainn Wilson (The Office) as the
voices of Superman, Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, respectively. The potent trio is
joined by the DC Universe Movies’
returning voices of the Justice League: Jason O’Mara (The Man in High Castle, Terra Nova) as Batman, Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Rent, Daredevil) as Wonder
Woman, Shemar Moore (S.W.A.T., Criminal
Minds) as Cyborg, Nathan Fillion (Castle,
ABC’s upcoming The Rookie) as Green
Lantern/Hal Jordan, Matt Lanter (Timeless)
as Aquaman, and Christopher Gorham (Covert
Affairs, Ugly Betty) as The Flash.
The cast also features Nyambi Nyambi (Mike & Molly, The Good Fight) as
Martian Manhunter, Rocky Carroll (NCIS)
as Silas Stone, Patrick Fabian (Better
Call Saul) as Hank Henshaw, Toks Olagundoye (Castle) as Cat Grant, Max Mittleman (Justice League Action) as Jimmy Olsen, Charles Halford (Constantine) as Bibbo Bibbowski,

the Mayor, Paul Eiding (Ben 10: Omniverse)

The Animated Series) as Ma Kent, Trevor Devall (Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay) as Dabney Donovan & Bruno Mannheim,
Rick Pasqualone (Mafia II & Mafia III video games) as Turpin, Amanda

“As Superman celebrates his 80th

history, and we wanted to bring the entire story – with all the characters and
details the fans have clamored for – to animated life.”
