The Death of Superman is a popular DC comic book crossover event that featured Superman’s demise at the hands of Doomsday. Warner Bros. Animation previously adapted the comic book arc with Superman: Doomsday, but it had a very short runtime. With the latest DC animated film, The Death of Superman, it allowed the story to breathe with an ending that will lead to the next chapter, Reign of the Supermen. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and DC have announced that it will be coming to home video on January 29, 2019.
In Reign of the Supermen, the world mourns and lives in a world without Superman. Four new heroes arise and are coming for the title of Superman: Superboy, Steel, Cyborg Superman and the Eradicator.
