I saw "Reign of the Supermen", starring the voices of Jerry O'Connell-Scary Movie 5, Piranha 3D; Rebecca Romijn-The Librarians_tv, The Punisher_2004; Cress Williams-Black Lightning_tv, Code Black_tv and Rainn Wilson-The Meg, My Super Ex_Girlfriend.
This is an animated sequel to 'The Death of Superman' from 2018 and Reign will be released in stores on January 29th 2019. There was a double feature in theaters-Reign & Death-promoting the video launch, so I saw both of them together. Just to refresh your memory, Jerry/Clark Kent/Superman was killed fighting Doomsday in the previous movie-Doomsday died too-and then Superman's body went missing. About 6 months later, Rebecca/Lois Lane is still grieving when 4 individuals show up claiming to be Superman. Cress/John Henry Irons/Steel is one of the 4. Rainn/Lex Luthor is still running his schemes in the background, trying to convince people that he is a hero, instead of that alien from Krypton that everyone worships. Which one of the 4-if any of them-is the real Man of Steel? What is their connections and secrets? If you have read the original comics, then you know. There are some pretty good fight scenes-as there were in the previous Death-and a few surprises, too. It's a perfect companion piece to the 'Death of Superman' so if you enjoyed Death, then you should like Reign as well.
It's rated "PG-13" for action violence and bloody images and has a running time of 1 hour & 27 minutes.
I enjoyed it and would buy it on Blu-Ray.
