DC Universe explodes onto DStv Premium

WINDHOEK, OCT. 13 – “Its’ a bird; its’ a plane; no! its Superman,” and he’s heading straight for channel 109 on DStv! The red and blue caper is joined by a flock of some of the most iconic superheroes and their equally famous – or infamous – frenemies – from Batman, Catwoman and The Joker to Wonder Woma and the Green Lantern.

M-Net Movies has assembled an explosive DC Heroes pop-up channel for DStv Premium customers in November.
The M-Net Movies DC Heroes pop-up channel will start with a bang on channel 109 on Friday 9 November at 11:50 CAT and continue to spread almighty mayhem for ten days until Sunday 18 November, shortly before midnight.

“DStv Premium customers can look forward to an astonishing selection of movies, most featuring a world in dire need of a hero or heroine with superpowers and an iron will to defeat evil,” says Roger Gertze, MultiChoice Namibia’s Managing Director. “You won’t find a channel with such a comprehensive list of DC Comics films anywhere else. Fans of superhero films are in for the thrill of a lifetime.”

Among the highlights on the M-Net Movies DC Comics pop-up channel, the last son of Krypton becomes Earth’s champion; a dark knight strikes fear into evildoers’ hearts; an Amazonian princess fights for justice; an intergalactic police force defends the universe with sheer willpower; and an antihero from the wild west is spurred on by revenge.
