Two weeks ago, WB Animation and DC Entertainment released Reign of the Supermen, the animated feature follow-up to last year’s The Death of Superman. If you were waiting for the sequel to be available via a streaming service, you’re patience has paid off, as DC Universe announced today the addition of the film to their library of streaming titles. Reign of the Supermen joins The Death of Superman and other of WB/DC’s direct-to-video animated movies in the DC Universe streaming library. The service still doesn’t have a full slate of those DTV movies, but it does house all of the Batman- and Superman-centric films.
Along with Reign of the Supermen, DC Universe has also added over 1,000 new comics to their list of available issues. Some highlights of the new additions include perennial favorites like Superman for All Seasons and Superman: Secret Identity; recent Rebirth storylines like “The War of Jokes and Riddles” from Tom King and Mikel Janin’s Batman; and classic stories like Alan Moore’s complete run on Swamp Thing and Jack Kirby’s original New Gods series.
The comic additions come in the wake of some question about the future of DC Universe’s comics library. With news breaking earlier this month that DC had added a significant portion of their back library to Comixology Unlimited, the company’s commitment to comics as part of DC Universe was in question. It’s nice to see the publisher still adding a substantial number of new books to DC Universe, particularly for those subscribers who already paid for an annual membership.
A full list of the new titles offered by DC Universe is below. Those comics, plus the Reign of the Supermen movie, are all available now.
