The Last Superman: Doomsday was almost unwatchable. Hope this holds up to the quality of The Dark Knight Returns. Glad it's split into two parts

It'll be the real deal.

Unless WB decides to cut out the black suit and let Danny Elfman score it....

This is another two-parter right? As in, just wait til they release a deluxe version with both parts combined.

Yeah, most likely. But I don't think I'll be able to wait since based on schedule the combined pack would be estimated for 2020.

That first adaptation stumbled in some places, but I think it was just poorly executed. The lack of lossless audio didn't help either, since the limp 5.1 mix didn't even have any gawd damn LFE for the action scenes. For some reason WB did quite a few funny mixes back then, where the 5.1 DD came out like a limp stereo mix, but the lossless mix - if there was one on HD-DVD/Blu-Ray - would be a monster. In the case of that production, it didn't get a lossless mix on any format, but it would have certainly helped.

Again? Shouldn't we be producing that animated Wonder Woman sequel we once talked about? Or how about that stylized Batwoman movie? Cripes, this animated franchise is so full of dudes it makes me wonder how the live action Wonder Woman ever got green-lit.

BURBANK, CA (May 16, 2018) – The Man of Steel meets his ultimate match when Doomsday comes to Earth – hell bent on destroying everything and everyone in his path, including the Justice League – in the all-new, action-packed The Death of Superman, part of the popular series of DC Universe Movies. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the feature-length animated film arrives from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Digital starting July 24, 2018, and on Ultra HD Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD August 7, 2018.

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, Jonathan Adams (Last Man Standing) as the Mayor, Paul Eiding (Ben 10: Omniverse) as Pa Kent, Jennifer Hale (Green Lantern: 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 Troop (Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts) as Sawyer, Erica Luttrell (Salvation) as Mercy, and Cress Williams (Black Lightning) as John Henry Irons.



Producer Sam Liu (Gotham by Gaslight, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract) co-directs The Death of Superman with Jake Castorena (Justice League Action) from a script by New York Times best-selling author Peter J. Tomasi (Green Lantern: Emerald Knights). Executive Producers are Sam Register and James Tucker (Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay, Justice League Dark).



“As Superman celebrates his 80th anniversary, we felt the time was right to finally tell the unabridged version of this iconic story,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Vice President, Family & Animation Marketing. “This is a landmark tale in comics history, and we wanted to bring the entire story – with all the characters and details the fans have clamored for – to animated life.”

Annoying that they skipped Ninja on UHD.

[Sky_Captain]

Especially as it doesn't have that shitty Saturday morning cartoon look.

Superman Doomsday was pretty average at best, I hope this one will do better justice.

It's better, but it's not amazing

Target exclusive steelbook. Only difference on cover from the regular release is that the flag (or cape or whatever it is) is a little bit more to the right.

So it’s confirmed the next movie will be “reign of supermen” so technically a part 2 to this film, but since it has a completely different name than this film, it doesn’t seem like it will eventually get an ultimate cut release with both movies as 1 like dark knight returns?

[RalphoR]

I've been pretty adamant about not buying DC animated movies in UHD vs blu-ray based on there not being much, if any, a/v superiority. With Target releasing a 4k steel book exclusive for a DC animated film I think I'm going to take a risk and get it. Maybe the tide is turning.
