Reign Of The Supermen

After the re-imagining of Superman by John Byrne in the mid-1980s up into the mid-1990’s the Superman titles by DC comics were ‘must-read’ comic books for me.

One of my all time favorite storylines was the Death of Superman followed by the Reign of Supermen and the eventual return of the Man of Steel.
Warner Bros. has adapted Reign Of The Supermen to a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray/Digital Combo Pack and like all of Warner Bros.’ direct to Blu-ray/DVD DC superhero adaptations, it rocks!

Allowing for a few continuity and story ‘tweaks’ and ‘modifications’ the Combo Pack faithfully presents one of the greatest Superman epics ever to make it to the small screen.

After the ‘death’ of Superman four new Supermen appear in Metropolis to take his place.

One is a cyborg, another is a clone of Superman, still another is a Kryptonian resurrection and the last is an engineering genius that believes he owes Superman a great debt.

No one is quite sure what to make of them, including the Justice League.

Each Superman doppelganger saves lives, squelches catastrophes and appears to want the best for the citizens of Metropolis and the world.

But, whenever virtue, honor, heroism and justice appear dark forces of evil are sure to raise their villainous heads above the shadows and that’s just what happens.

Fists fly, powers deploy and the forces of good versus evil duke it out in one the most fantastic displays of animation seen thus far in the Warner Bros. DC Universe adaptation.

Extras include a sneak peek, a Lex Luthor feature and from the DC Comics Vault: two bonus cartoons.


Need I say it?  It is ‘super!’
