Superman ’78 & Batman ’89

On February 22 (the 96th anniversary of our opening day), Movies at the Palace proudly presents 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. More details coming soon, including special guests and live entertainment worthy of our 96th anniversary.
