Movies at the Palace : SUPERMAN ‘78 & BATMAN ‘89 RESCHEDULED
Looks like even superheroes can’t outfly a blizzard! Our Superman ’78 & Batman ’89 Double-Feature has been rescheduled to Sunday, March 1st after last weekend turned the United Palace into an icy Fortress of Solitude. We’re pretty sure it was snow—not Kryptonite—but better safe than sorry. Join us one week later for all the heroic action on our 50-foot screen with 7.1 surround sound, plus a raffle of movie memorabilia, live appearances by Superman and Batman, and an epic Intermission Trivia Battle. Tickets for the original date will be honored, and additional tickets are still available. We’ll see you there!
An American Heroes Double-Feature, uniting Superman (1978) and Batman (1989) — two cinematic giants whose stories helped define what heroism means in the American imagination.
This special event celebrates the timeless ideals embodied by these iconic protectors: Superman’s unwavering belief in truth and hope, and Batman’s relentless stand against corruption in defense of his city. Together, they reflect the enduring qualities we admire in American heroes: courage, integrity, resilience, and the willingness to stand up for others when it matters most.
Experience these classic films as they were meant to be seen: on the United Palace’s 50-foot screen, with 7.1 surround sound and live, interactive entertainment before the main features, as is our tradition. It’s an epic tribute to the heroes who shaped our culture, inspired generations, and continue to light the way forward.
Double-Feature Schedule:
12:00PM – Doors Open & Live Entertainment (TBD)
1:00PM – Superman (1978) – Runtime: 2 hours, 7 minutes
3:15-4:00PM – Intermission with Live Entertainment (TBD)
4:00PM – Batman (1989) – Runtime: 2 hours, 6 minutes
