All new at DC’s Animation universe, it seems.
With the news recently that the upcoming Justice League Dark: Apokolips War animated movie would mark the end of the current DC Animated Universe, it seems we are getting a restart in the shape of Superman: Man of Tomorrow due to arrive this summer.
The movie will see a whole new cast step up with Darren Criss playing Clark Kent/Superman and Zachary Quinto as Lex Luthor and will see a young Clark starting to work at the Daily Planet while the city of Metropolis is under threat from, you guessed it, Lex Luthor.
Here’s the new cast for the animated adventure which is due this summer:
Darren Criss (Glee; Hollywood) is voicing the Man of Steel with a supporting cast consisting of Zachary Quinto (Star Trek Beyond; Heroes) as Lex Luthor, Alexandra Daddario (True Detective; San Andreas) as Lois Lane, Brett Dalton (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.; Elementary) as the Main Man Lobo, Ryan Hurst (Remember the Titans; The Walking Dead) as Parasite, Ike Amadi (Mass Effect 3; Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge) as Martian Manhunter, Neil Flynn (Scrubs; Mean Girls) as Jonathan Kent, and Bellamy Young (Scandal; Scrubs) as Martha Kent.
Chris Palmer (Voltron: Legendary Defender) is directing with a screenplay from Tim Sheridan (The Death of Superman; Reign of the Supermen).
A release date has not yet been set, but it’s due out on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital HD this summer.

He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
