BATMAN AND SUPERMAN BATTLE IT OUT ON FOXTEL
BATMAN VS SUPERMAN POP-UP CHANNEL
For the first time in Australia and only on Foxtel
Featuring all fourteen Batman and Superman movies
Friday, February 24 from 6.00am AEDT – Monday, February 27
Also available on Anytime
In an Australian television first, Foxtel Movies presents an incredible line-up of all fourteen Batman and Superman movies on a dedicated pop-up channel, available to Foxtel Movies and Foxtel Platinum subscribers, from 6.00am on Friday, February 24 through to Monday, February 27.
The massive movie marathon will feature every film in the iconic superhero franchises, launching with the original Batman (1989) and Superman (1978) right through to the most recent film which sees Batman and Superman finally go head-to-head: Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016).
The Batman franchise is one of the highest-grossing series in movie history: from the twisted humour of the original Batman starring Michael Keaton and directed by Tim Burton, to Christopher Nolan’s gritty The Dark Knight trilogy starring Christian Bale, Batman remains one of the most popular superheros of all time.
The Superman franchise continues its legacy as one of the most loved superhero series ever, starting with the original Superman film starring Christopher Reeve in arguably the most praised portrayal of the superhero, through to Henry Cavill’s modern take on the iconic character in 2013’s Man of Steel.
The pop-up channel follows on from Foxtel Movies’ enormously successful pop-up channels in 2016, including the Star Wars, Harry Potter, Fast and Furious and 12 Days of Christmas pop-ups.
The fourteen movies featured on the Batman vs Superman pop-up, running back-to-back and in order, are as follows:
Batman (1989)
Batman Returns (1992)
Batman Forever (1995)
Batman & Robin (1997)
Batman Begins (2005)
The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Superman (1978)
Superman II (1980)
Superman III (1983)
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987)
Superman Returns (2006)
Man of Steel (2013)
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
The Batman vs Superman pop-up channel will be available in HD* to Foxtel Movies and Foxtel Platinum subscribers on channel 400. Channel 400 is now home to a series of hugely popular and exclusive pop-up movie events.
The movies will also be available to subscribers when and where they want, both live and on demand with an internet connected iQ box.
For customers without an internet connected iQ box, Foxtel’s Batman vs Superman pop up movies can be recorded to a Foxtel iQ set top box and played back at their convenience.
