Ahead of tomorrow’s sold out Reign of the Supermen premiere event at the Paley Center in Los Angeles, Warner Bros. has released a new clip featuring substitute Superman—Eradiactor—take on Intergang with his trademark energy blasts. Kudos to the filmmakers for the Snaky Doyle Easter Egg, an actual character from Jack Kirby’s epic Fourth World saga. Appearing in only handful of issues, that is what I call a deep cut!
Details of the cast/crew attending tomorrow’s premiere below-
Jerry O’Connell, the voice of Superman, heads an impressive lineup of cast and filmmakers set to attend the World Premiere of Reign of the Supermen, the next entry in the popular, ongoing series of DC Universe Movies, at The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills this Thursday, January 10, 2019.

Reign of the Supermen finds Earth’s citizens – and the Man of Steel’s heroic contemporaries – dealing with a world without Superman. But the aftermath of Superman’s death, and the subsequent disappearance of his body, leads to a new mystery – is Superman still alive? The question is further complicated when four new super-powered individuals – Steel, Cyborg Superman, Superboy and the Eradicator – emerge to proclaim themselves as the ultimate hero. In the end, only one will be able to proclaim himself the world’s true Superman.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment, the feature-length animated Reign of the Supermen arrives from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on Digital starting January 15, 2019, and on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack and Blu-ray Combo Pack on January 29, 2019.
