Reign of the Supermen [Blu-ray] [2019]

I loved the movie, especially being a DC/Justice League fan ever since I was a kid growing up!

Wonderful combination of both comic and movie. Great job.

the story line for this dvd is great and it was fun

This movie is really a treat. I expected to hate it, being a huge fan of the original comics - DC's first attempt at this, "Superman: Doomsday" was pretty weak overall, and DC announced the current 2 animated movies as being a faithful interpretation but then started announcing changes.. so I was expecting to be disappointed. Not at all, surprisingly! The story is well-crafted, hits the major points well, and even the changes and shake-ups are well-done and don't take you out of what's happening. On the packaging, this Best Buy exclusive was masterful. A fully restored version of the original "Death of Superman" comic storyline is included, as well as a reprint of the "Newstime" magazine that came out in 1992 after Superman #75 (the comic where he died), which is the first time that's been reprinted, to my knowledge. I'd love to see more done like this. All-in-all, it's a great set, and I highly recommend it - even for big fans of the original Superman comics like me!

The movie was great. The animation and fast paced good storyline is becoming the norm of DC’s animated movies. The packaging for this movie is where I have an issue. On one hand I like the full size, hardcover “Death of Superman” graphic novel. Good read and a welcomed additon to any graphic novel collection, and the price for this with the movie was a great value. The downside that arises is that the book serves as the jewel case for the Blu-Ray/DVD which makes adding it to one’s collection difficult. I would have preferred in the end the way Best Buy typically handles Blu-Ray/Book combos, which is a miniaturized version of the book packaged with the Blu-Ray/DVD, that way I get the movie to display and the comic to add my collection. Overall though I would suggest that if you wish to add the graphic novel to your collection and like the idea of the book being the jewel case then get this, but if you just want the movie get the movie.

I love these DC direct-to-video movies. They adhere closer to the comics and carry the central themes of the DC universe better than the rather lackluster DC CU. Reign of the Supermen is the latest of these animated films and picks up where the Death of Superman animated movie leaves off. While RotS is a sequel, you don't have to see the DoS to enjoy it. Superman is dead and there is a vacuum to fill those big red boots. Viewers will be treated to onscreen presentations of Steel and Superboy -- I love to see more obscure comic book characters come to life! My only complaint about the animated films (and the DC CU as well) is that some of the fight scenes are drawn out too long. Your heart aches for all the property damage long after you stop caring about who is getting pounded into the pavement. This is a pacing problem that most current DC properties have. If you can ignore the extra long fight scenes, the DC animated films are an excellent entertainment choice for the comic book nerd and the super hero fan who wants to learn more about the DC universe alike. Oh, and be aware... these movies are NOT FOR YOUNG KIDS.

This is basically part two and the ending for The Death Of Superman. Although it was rereleased as a feature length film extending to 4 hours, it was originally meant to be two separate films. There is also a tongue in cheek reference by The Daily Bugle's Editor in Chief, when someone mentions the title "Reign Of The Supermen" he flat out says, "Run it! I don't like it but we'll change it later!" So when the two part movie became one long film the title changed with it as well but thats a separate review for another time. The Blu-ray doesn't disappoint and the voice acting is as expected, awesome. The current run of DC Animated films has been some of the best animation and writing and its a wonder that the DCEU doesn't follow suit.

The follow up to last year’s Death of Superman, Reign of the Supermen continues the adaptation of the famous comic book arc that DC Comics released in 1993-94. Reign of the Supermen is a great sequel that picks up right where the last movie left off, sporting great animation and some pretty epic action sequences. They, of course, have to change some elements from the Comics, but for the most part, this is an extremely loyal adaptation with great character designs, amazing color, and a fantastic score. It’s definitely on of the best animated movies DC has produced recently and by far the best animated Superman movie to date in my opinion. I would say if you’re a DC Comics fan or a fan of animation, this is definitely worth picking up along with Death of Superman if you don’t own that already.
