"Reign of the Supermen" First Look Trailer Released
by Neil Cole
In promotion of the upcoming August 7th release of "Death of Superman" on DVD/Blu-ray, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released a first look at the second chapter, "Reign of the Supermen" which will arrive in early 2019.
"Superman represents hope, and at the end of 'The Death of Superman' that hope is lost," states Screenwriter Tim Sheridan. "The question of where we go from here is what we're trying to explore with this story. We were able to take the book and amplify it. Kick up the stakes a little bit, so the threat, it's more threatening than ever."
"Death of Superman is how we destroy our heroes, and Reign of the Supermen is about how we make them," Sheridan continues. "They both have a lot to say about us. When Superman is gone, is the hope gone? I think that we find it."
"Reign of the Supermen" will closely follow the original 1993 comic book storyline in which four Supermen emerge to take up the mantle of the Man of Steel. Superboy is described as "Superman if he'd been raised by the Kardashians" while John Henry Irons (Steel) represents humanity and heart, Eradicator represents Superman's Kryptonian heritage, and Cyborg Superman is basically absolute power personified.
Check out the first look trailer for "Reign of the Supermen" below as well as an official description of the animated film:
"After Superman is put to rest, following his battle with Doomsday, his body is stolen from its tomb. As authorities investigate, new and completely different Supermen start appearing on the scene, making everyone wonder if Superman has been reincarnated, and if so, which of them is the new Supermen?"
