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.

Jordan, Stand By Me),
Rebecca Romijn (X-Men,

and Rainn Wilson (The
