Animated Update: ‘Death of Superman’ 2018 – ‘Reign Of Supermen’ 2019

DC Comics announced a huge amount about the animation department at San Diego Comic-Con International Friday night, with the biggest news – a 25th Anniversary special two-part feature-length animated film for the ‘Death and Return of Superman.’

DC promises the upcoming adaptation will be more faithful to the source material, much less condensed and will include many of the fan-favorite moments from the story that were left out of the 2007 film, ‘Superman: Doomsday.’

The ‘Death of Superman’ will come out in late 2018, with the ‘Reign Of Supermen’ in early 2019.
