legion of super heroes

Kara, also known as Supergirl, has had it rough – witnessing the destruction of her home planet, battling the villainous Solomon Grundy, and generally struggling to fit into life on Earth. But that’s just the start of her adventure in LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES, the latest DC Universe Movie, being released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital beginning February 7, 2023 from Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment.

Welcome to the 31st century and the Legion Academy, where a new generation hones their powers with hopes of joining the Legion of Super-Heroes. Devastated by tragedy, Supergirl struggles to adjust to her new life on Earth. Taking her cousin Superman’s advice, Supergirl leaves their space-time to attend the Academy. There, she quickly makes new friends, as well as a new enemy with old ties: Brainiac 5. But a nefarious plot lurks in the shadows – the mysterious group known as the Dark Circle seeks a powerful weapon held in the Academy’s vault. Find out if the budding heroes can rise to the challenge in this all-new DC Universe Movie!


This animated movie is rated PG-13 for some violence and language by the Motion Picture Association of America. It has a runtime of one hour and twenty-three minutes. Supergirl is voiced by the talented Meg Donnelly, who played the older daughter, Taylor Otto, in the television sitcom American Housewife (2016-2021).

In addition to the feature presentation, LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES also includes the following bonus content:

  • The Legion Behind The Legion (New Featurette) – It took a heroic effort from a legion of writers, artists, animators and filmmakers to bring Legion of Super-Heroes to life. In this featurette, filmmakers and stars give us a deep dive into the making of the movie, from the original story idea through character development and final animation. 
  •  Meet the Legionnaires (New Featurette) – There are dozens and dozens of Legion members, many of whom are featured in Legion of Super-Heroes. Who made the cut, and why? Lucky for us, the filmmakers are here to introduce us to each one - and give us some background on who they are, and why they’re important to the movie. 
  •  Brainiac Attack: The Intellect Behind the Super-Villain (New Featurette) – In Legion of Super-Heroes, Brainiac 5 proves himself to be the pinnacle of all Brainiac iterations, but how did he become that way? In this featurette, filmmakers explain what we should we know about the 4 Brainiacs who came before him, and how – and why – Brainiac 5 chose his own path. 
  •  Down to Earth: The Story of Supergirl (New Featurette) – Supergirl’s narrow escape from Krypton and her arrival on Earth is just the beginning of our story (literally). In this featurette, filmmakers explain why they chose to center Legion of Super-Heroes on Supergirl, what the backstory is between her and Superman at the start of the movie, and what exactly is going on between her and Brainiac 5.
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES is rated PG-13 for violence and language. The animated movie has a runtime of 83 minutes. Who is geeked to see LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES?!

SUPER TV BINGE WATCHING

Warner Bros Home Entertainment provided ageekdaddy.com with free copies of the featured Blu-rays. Opinions expressed are my own.

Did you know there are a multitude of super shows on the CW Network featuring the heroes of the DC universe? The Flash, Supergirl and Batwoman bring their comic book style adventures to live action television series on this network that broadcasts over air, through cable TV and online streaming. Check out the DC multi-verse on The CW!

If you've missed episodes, I know it isn't fun to jump in mid-stream. That is why I like to binge watch seasons when they come out on Blu-ray and DVD. Here are three great DC super hero shows that have just had their most recent season released for home entertainment video libraries:

SUPERGIRL -- SEASON FIVE

The adventures of Super Man's cousin Kara Zor-El. Keeping her powers a secret on Earth, she decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. It's a bird, it's a plane ... no it is Supergirl!

THE FLASH -- SEASON SIX

After being struck by lightning, Barry Allen wakes up from his coma to discover he now has the power of super speed. Becoming a superhero called The Flash he fights crime with the help of his tech whiz friends at S.T.A.R labs.
BATWOMAN -- SEASON ONE

Three years ago billionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne, and his vigilante alter-ego, Batman, disappeared. Now his cousin Kate Kane sets out to overcome her own demons and become a symbol of hope by protecting the streets of Gotham City as Batwoman.

Catch up on these episodes so you can jump right in when the next season of adventures begin airing later this year on The CW. Or if you saw the shows when they originally aired enjoy them again! These shows are super to watch over and over again.

Super Girl races Jessie Quick for title of World's Fastest Woman

Following up on the success of their Colonel Sanders comic books, DC Entertainment has also created a series of free comic books tied to a promotional partnership with Snickers.  In conjunction with the annual Comic Con International event in San Diego this weekend, Snickers Comic #2: The Fastest Woman Alive is now available as a digital download for a limited time on DC Entertainment's online comic book store powered by Comixology as well as at comixology.com.

It’s the race of the millennium: Supergirl, the Woman of Steel versus Jesse Quick, super-speedster of the Justice League! But a monstrous figure plans to attack the stadium during the event—and it’ll take both Supergirl and Jesse, plus Superman, the Flash and an army of Snickers-powered spectators, to bring him down!


Snickers Comic #2: The Fastest Woman Alive follows up on a free issue provided at last year's Comic Con in San Diego that pitted Super Man versus the Flash in a similar story.  Unlike the past KFC Colonel Sanders comics that can still be read online, Snickers Comic #1 is no longer available.  So if you are interested in reading this new Snickers comic download it while you can!
