ALL-STAR SUPERMAN
Look, up in the sky, it's the release of All-Star Superman in magnificent 4K Ultra HD from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment. In 2005 comics icon Grant Morrison began weaving a timeless Man of Steel tale revolving around Kal-El as he attempts to make peace with the world before his impending death from overexposure to the sun, ironically the source of his superpowers. In 2011 executive producer and the architect of modern superhero animation, Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series) and director Sam Liu (Batman: The Killing Joke) took a script from animation/comics legend Dwayne McDuffie (Static Shock) and brought the animated tale to life. The movie captured the heart of Morrison's story, as well as Frank Quietly's unique artistic style, and wowed fans across the globe with one the most human stories about the Last Kryptonian.
From the Press release:
Grant Morrison's beloved, Eisner Award-winning vision of Superman's heroic final days on Earth is brought to exquisite, animated life in All-Star Superman. The film begins as the Man of Steel rescues an ill-fated mission to the Sun (sabotaged by Lex Luthor) but, in the process, is oversaturated by radiation - which accelerates his cell degeneration. Sensing even he will be unable to cheat death, Superman ventures into new realms - finally revealing his secret to Lois, confronting Lex Luthor's perspective of humanity, and attempting to ensure Earth's safety before his own impending end with one final, selfless act.
The star-studded voice cast is headed by James Denton (Good Witch, Desperate Housewives), Christina Hendricks (Mad Men, Good Girls) and Anthony LaPaglia (Without A Trace) as Superman, Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, respectively. Other noteworthy cast members are seven-time Emmy Award winner Ed Asner (Up, Elf, The Mary Tyler Moore Show) as Perry White, Golden Globe winner Frances Conroy (American Horror Story, Joker, Six Feet Under) as Ma Kent, Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds, Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise) as Jimmy Olsen and Linda Cardellini (Avengers: Endgame, Dead to Me, ER) as Nasty.
