Today, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment unveiled the first Super Sons trailer.

Official press release below:

Legacies must rise to unearthly challenges as the children of Batman and Superman are charged with saving their famous fathers – and the world – in Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons.

Home Entertainment, the PG-13 rated Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons begins as 11-year-old Jonathan Kent discovers he has superpowers, thrusting the half-Kryptonian into the complicated world of Super Heroes and Super-Villains – who are now under attack by a malevolent alien force known as Starro! It’s a race against time as Jonathan must join forces with assassin-turned-Boy-Wonder Damian Wayne to rescue their fathers (Superman & Batman) and save the planet by becoming the Super Sons they were destined to be!

Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey are no strangers to portraying Superman and Lois Lane. Even more fitting, Willingham and Bailey are married in real life. This wouldn’t be the first time that Superman and Lois have been portrayed by a real life married couple. Moreover, Troy Baker has voiced Dark Knight in numerous animated projects in the past and actually maintains a close friendship with both Willingham and Bailey.

Between his appearance in The Suicide Squad and now Battle of the Super Sons, Starro is clearly having a bit of a moment.

Look for Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Son to arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™ & Digital on October 18, 2022.
