DCAU Superman: Unbound! To Premiere At WonderCon

Today, Comic Con International announced that the new DC animated film, Superman: Unbound! shall have its world premiere this March at WonderCon in Anaheim. The film is set to be released on DVD, BluRay, and OnDemand in the late Spring 2013, but a lucky few will be able to see it first at the convention this year.

The film is based on the 5-part story arc Superman: Braniac by Geoff Johns and Gary Frank, which ran in ACTION COMICS (issues#866-870) in 2008, where Superman faces off against Brainiac as he tries to exact revenge on the Last Son of Krypton by destroying Earth.

The official announcement from WonderCon’s programming schedule:

WonderCon Anaheim 2013 presents the exclusive world premiere of the DC Universe Animated Movie Superman: Unbound! A destructive force is devastating planets across the galaxy—with Earth next in its sights—and even Superman may not be capable of halting the destruction alone in Superman: Unbound, the next entry in the ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies. Based on the Geoff Johns/Gary Frank 2008 release Superman: Brainiac, the film’s stellar voicecast is led by Matt Bomer (White Collar) as Superman, John Noble (Fringe, The Lord of the Rings films) as Brainiac, Stana Katic (Castle) as Lois Lane, and Molly Quinn (Castle) as Supergirl. Supervising producer James Tucker (Justice League, Batman: The Brave and the Bold) also directs the film from a script by Bob Goodman (Warehouse 13, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns).
