DENVER, Nov. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Superman's greatest
adventure – his death and rebirth – will be unveiled in a special
two-day exclusive theatrical event as Warner Bros. and DC join
forces with Fathom Events for a double feature presentation of the
previously released The Death of Superman and the
first in-theater screening of the all-new Reign of the
Supermen nationwide on January
13 and 14, 2019.
As the second half of the double feature, Reign of the
Supermen will be seen nationally in theaters ahead of its
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment release on Digital starting
January 15, 2019, and on Ultra HD™
Blu-ray Combo Pack and Blu-ray™ Combo Pack on January 29, 2019.
The Man of Steel meets his ultimate match when the monstrous,
unstoppable creature Doomsday comes to Earth – hell bent on
destroying everything and everyone in his path, including the
Justice League – in the action-packed The Death of
Superman. In the second half of this two-part landmark
tale, 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 claim themselves as the ultimate
hero. In the end, will any of them prove to be the real Man of
Steel?
Tickets for The Death of Superman / Reign of
the Supermen Double Feature can be purchased at
