BLU-RAY™ COMBO PACK
The world must cope with the loss of Superman – and the
sudden emergence of four would-be heirs to the title – in the all-new,
action-packed Reign
of the Supermen, part of the popular series of DC Universe Movies. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC, the
feature-length animated film arrives from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on
Digital starting January 15, 2019,
and on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack and Blu-ray Combo Pack on January
29, 2019.
Reign
of the Supermen will be available on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack ($39.99 SRP) and Blu-ray Combo Pack
($24.98 SRP) as well as on Digital ($19.99 HD, $14.99 SD). The Ultra HD Blu-ray
Combo Pack features an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc in 4K with HDR and a Blu-ray disc
featuring the film; the Blu-ray Combo
Pack features the film in hi-definition. The Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Combo
Pack include a digital
version of the film.
Reign
of the Supermen finds Earth’s citizens – and the
Man of Steel’s heroic contemporaries – dealing with a world without Superman.
But the aftermath of Superman’s death, and the subsequent disappearance of his
body, leads to a new mystery – is Superman still
alive? The question is further complicated when four new super-powered individuals – Steel, Cyborg Superman, Superboy and the Eradicator – emerge to proclaim themselves
as the ultimate hero. In
the end, only one will be able to proclaim himself the world’s true Superman.
Reign of the Supermen is the second half of a two-part DC Universe Movies experience that began
in August 2018 with The Death of Superman – the two films telling a more faithful
animated version of “The Death of Superman,” DC’s landmark 1992-93 comic phenomenon.
Superman
Doomsday, the inaugural film in the DC
Universe Movies series, told an abridged version of that comics story, but
with a runtime of 75 minutes, the film was only able to focus on a core,
singular storyline. The Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen restore
many of the moments and characters that fans hold dear to their hearts.
The Reign of the Supermen all-star
cast is led by Jerry O’Connell (Carter,
Bravo’s Play by Play, Stand by Me),
Rebecca Romijn (X-Men, The Librarians)
and Rainn Wilson (The Office, The Meg)
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 the 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,
The Rookie) as Green Lantern/Hal
Jordan, Christopher Gorham (Covert
Affairs, Insatiable, Ugly Betty) as The Flash, and Nyambi Nyambi (Mike & Molly, The Good Fight) as
Martian Manhunter.
Newly featured cast members include
Cress Williams (Black Lightning) as
Steel, Cameron Monaghan (Gotham) as
Superboy, Patrick Fabian (Better Call
Saul) as Hank Henshaw, and Tony Todd (Candyman)
as Darkseid. In addition, the cast includes Charles Halford (Constantine) as Bibbo Bibbowski and The
Eradicator, Rocky Carroll (NCIS) as Perry
White, Toks Olagundoye (Castle) as
Cat Grant, Max Mittleman (Justice League
Action) as Jimmy Olsen, Paul Eiding (Ben
10: Omniverse) as Jonathan Kent, Jennifer Hale (Green Lantern: The Animated Series) as Martha Kent, Trevor Devall (Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay) as Dabney
Donovan and Erica Luttrell (Salvation)
as Mercy.
Producer
Sam Liu (Gotham by Gaslight, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract) also directs
Reign of the Supermen from a script by Jim Krieg (Batman: Gotham by Gaslight) and Tim
Sheridan (Scooby-Doo and the Gourmet
Ghost). Amy McKenna (The Death of
Superman) is producer, and Alan Burnett (Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay) is co-producer. Executive Producers are
Sam Register and James Tucker (Justice
League Dark).
“Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is proud to continue the
most popular Superman story of all time which began in The Death of Superman,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment Vice President, Family & Animation Marketing. “Reign of the Supermen is the
thrilling story of how the world reacts to the shocking death of its
protector. No true comic fan will want to
miss this larger than life story of the heroes and villains who rise to fill
the void.”

Lex Luthor: The Greatest Nemesis (Featurette) – Evil Genius. Archenemy of Superman. Misunderstood hero?
This documentary will look at one of the most renowned villains in literature
and debate his ethics and motivations throughout his publication history and as
the calculated anti-hero of Reign of the Supermen. We’ll also
explore how Lex Luthor is emblematic of technology without limit, often
demonstrating what effect unbridled power, resources, and influence can have on
humanity. We’ll discuss the affinity for storytellers to associate Lex Luthor
and with the field of science as they challenge our morals and integrity with
real world issues such as cloning and what can happen if science fiction became
science reality.
