Warner Bros./DC’s animated feature Superman: Man of Tomorrow will release to Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray on Sept. 8, 2020, following an earlier digital release expected on Aug. 23, 2020.
Superman: Man of Tomorrow is presented in 1080p (Blu-ray, Digital HD) and 2160p (4k Blu-ray, Digital UHD) with HDR10 to expand color to 10-bits on TVs that support High Dynamic Range. Audio specs are yet to be confirmed but we expect DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1.
The title arrives in Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray combo editions that include a second disc and digital copy. Along with other special features, the straight-to-video purchase includes new featurettes “Martian Manhunter: Lost and Found” and “Lobo: Natural Force of Chaos.”
Superman: Man of Tomorrow was directed by Chris Palmer (Voltron: Legendary Defender) astars Darren Criss (Glee, American Crime Story: The Asnd sassination of Gianni Versace) and Emmy nominee Zachary Quinto (Star Trek franchise, Heroes).
“Superman: Man of Tomorrow introduces a new producing vision to the DC Universe Movies series, which now numbers 41 films over its 13 years of existence.” Supervising Producer Butch Lukic has a rich pedigree in DC animated productions, serving as producer on Constantine: City of Demons, Justice League Action and the Batman Unlimited franchise, as well as directing episodes of Justice League, Batman Beyond and Beware the Batman. Lukic brings a new visual aesthetic to Superman: Man of Tomorrow that departs from the animation styles – of previous producers Bruce Timm (23 films) and James Tucker (17 films) – thus far represented in the DC Universe Movies.”
On Blu-ray, Superman: Man of Tomorrow sells for $19.99 and on 4k Blu-ray $39.99. We expect that price to drop to $24.99 closer to release date. Order on Amazon (Remember, Amazon charges the lowest price upon shipping.)
