Trailer For DC Animation's Latest Film THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released the the first trailer for their latest animated film project, The Death of Superman. The film is an adaptation of the classic Superman comic book story arc from 1992. I really did love that story, which involved Doomsday killing Superman. I loved that story.
This is actually the second attempt for Warner Bros. to adapt this storyline. Superman: Doomsday was the first. But, this one is said to stay much closer to the original tone and storyline of the comic. Here’s the synopsis that was provided:
When a hulking monster emerges from an underground resting place and begins a mindless rampage, the Justice League is quickly called in to stop the colossal force of nature. But it soon becomes apparent that only Superman can stand against the monstrosity that has been nicknamed Doomsday. Battling their way throughout America, the two fight to a standstill as they reach the heart of Metropolis. Going punch for punch, Superman finally ends the threat of Doomsday as he throws one last punch and collapses forever.
The Death of Superman is the first of a two part series. Reign of the Supermen, will be the second chapter of the story and will also feature the four Supermen who took Clark's place while he was away. Those characters include Superboy, Steel, Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw), and the Eradicator.
The voice cast of the films will include Jerry O'Connell, Rebecca Romijn, Rainn Wilson, Rosario Dawson, Nathan Fillion, Christopher Gorham, Matt Lanter, Shemar Moore, and Jason O'Mara.
The Death of Superman will be released later this summer on Blu-ray, DVD on August 7th. The second part, Reign of the Supermen, will arrive early in 2019.
