Superman: Man of Tomorrow will have its world premiere at DC FanDome on Aug. 22 during the 7:15 p.m. ET screening. All those watching at that time will be able to enjoy the animated movie in full for free.
"Be among the first fans to witness the world premiere screening of Superman: Man of Tomorrow, the latest entry in the popular series of DC Universe Movies," the description on the DC FanDome official schedule reads. "It's the dawn of a new age of heroes, and Metropolis has just met its first. But as Daily Planet intern Clark Kent — working alongside reporter Lois Lane — secretly wields his alien powers of flight, super-strength and X-ray vision in the battle for good, there’s even greater trouble on the horizon. Follow the budding hero as he engages in bloody battles with intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo and fights for his life to halt the attack of power-hungry alien Parasite. The world will learn about Superman — but first, he must save the world!"
After the 7:15 p.m. ET premiere, stars Darren Criss (Clark Kent/Superman), Brett Dalton (Lobo), Ryan Hurst (Rudy Jones/Parasite) and Iké Amadi (Martian Manhunter) will participate in a panel about the film with supervising producer Butch Lukic, director Chris Palmer and screenwriter Tim Sheridan at 8:45 p.m. ET.
Those who miss the 7:15 showing can catch an encore presentation at 3:00 a.m. ET, while the panel will stream again at 4:30 a.m ET. According to the DC FanDome FAQ's page, all the panels are being treated as "live" events and will only stream at those specific times. "If you don't watch it during the 24 hours, you will miss it," the site reads.
Superman: Man of Tomorrow is not the only world premiere happening at DC FanDome. Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons will also debut at the DC event, with the premiere screening at 5:00 p.m. ET followed by a panel discussion at 6:30 p.m. ET.
