May 21, 2013: New Viral Marketing Campaign for "Man of Steel"Print

Man of Steel A new "You Are Not Alone" static message has taken over the official "Man of Steel" website.

Once again there appears to be a countdown encoded into the source of the web page, however we've as yet been unable to decipher exactly when it's counting down to.

With news that a new 1 minute 50 second trailer will screen in cinemas with "The Hangover - Part III", it seems pretty safe to assume that this latest internet viral marketing campaign will release that new trailer online when this countdown concludes.

Fans who visit comic stores on MAN OF STEEL DAY can also purchase the first issue of red-hot new comic series, SUPERMAN UNCHAINED, from bestselling creators Scott Snyder and Jim Lee. The series promises to elevate the already high-flying hero to new heights as he faces off against foes familiar and new. SUPERMAN UNCHAINED #1 includes a bonus two-sided, tipped-in poster measuring approximately 11" x 18" that can be easily removed for display.

"Comic fans and moviegoers have made it very clear that they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of MAN OF STEEL in theaters and we're excited to offer our retailer partners a chance to celebrate the occasion and tap into fan's enthusiasm," stated John Cunningham, vice president of marketing, DC Entertainment.

Also available at comic retail locations is DC Collectibles' all-new line of 12" MAN OF STEEL statues that capture the film's characters, Superman, Jor El, Zod and Faora, in stunning, highly-realistic likenesses. The line is already a top seller for DC Collectibles, further demonstrating retailer and fan excitement for MAN OF STEEL.

Continuing the celebration around the film's release, DC Entertainment has partnered with Random House to bring MAN OF STEEL to libraries across the U.S. on Saturday, June 15. More than 1,000 local libraries will offer visitors buttons, bookmarks and Superman comics.

Superman LEGO BATMAN: THE MOVIE - DC SUPERHEROES UNITE hits the street today!

On May 21, 2013 (that'd be today), Warner Bros. Home Entertainment makes the full-length animated feature film, based on the popular TT Animation video game, available as a Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, OnDemand and via Digital Download.

The initial shipment of the film's Blu-ray Combo Pack & DVD release includes an exclusive Lego Clark Kent/Superman figurine on pack while supplies last.

To celebrate today's release, here's an all-new clip featuring Robin (hilariously voiced by Charlie Schlatter) giving chase to Catwoman.

LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite provides the ultimate blend of action and humor guaranteed to entertain fanboys of all ages. The film finds Lex Luthor taking jealousy to new heights when fellow billionaire Bruce Wayne wins the Man of the Year Award. To top Wayne's accomplishment, Lex begins a campaign for President - and to create the atmosphere for his type of fear-based politics, he recruits the Joker to perfect a Black LEGO Destructor Ray. While wreaking havoc on Gotham, Lex successfully destroys Batman's technology - forcing the Caped Crusader to reluctantly turn to Superman for help.

    May 21, 2013: Cartoon Art Museum Celebrates Superman's 75th AnniversaryPrint

    Action Comics #1 The Cartoon Art Museum is celebrating the 75th anniversary of Superman with an exhibition exploring the long and storied history of The Last Son of Krypton, from his earliest incarnation when he launched the Golden Age of comics through his bizarre adventures in the Silver Age of comics to the modern era, where he continues his never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

    The Cartoon Art Museum explores the rich history of Siegel and Shuster's creation through original artwork by such notable talents as Golden Age Superman artists Fred Ray, Wayne Boring; Curt Swan, often cited as the character's definitive artist; the legendary Neal Adams; John Byrne and Jerry Ordway, who revitalized Superman in the 1980s; the artists responsible for the widely-publicized "Death of Superman" storyline in the early 1990s, Jon Bogdanove, Jackson Guice, Dan Jurgens, and many others. Vintage movie posters, toys, and props will also be included in this historic display.

    Programming for this exhibition (to take place at the Cartoon Art Museum at 655 Mission Street, San Francisco) will be announced throughout the summer.

    Watch the Cartoon Art Museum website for further details. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
