Sears and Warner Bros.

Off-screen, Sears Shop Your Way Rewards members will benefit from the collaboration via shopping perks and privileges, including an exclusive first-look at footage from the film, a limited-edition Superman comic book from DC Entertainment and the chance to participate in a variety of MAN OF STEEL sweepstakes.

“Sears and Superman are two iconic brands that embody American culture,” said Imran Jooma, executive vice president & president of marketing, online and financial services for Sears Holdings. “As the needs of our members and our customers have changed, Sears has responded with new and better products and services inspired by a spirit of genuine quality and honest values. We’re also proud to showcase Sears in MAN OF STEEL because it celebrates the original Superman – Dad – in time for Father’s Day.”

The Shop Your Way/MAN OF STEEL member perks and privileges are featured at shopyourway.com/manofsteel and include:

  • Access to film footage – Starting May 30, Shop Your Way Rewards members will be the first to see exclusive, never-before-seen footage from MAN OF STEEL at shopyourway.com/manofsteel.

The director of MAN OF STEEL, Zack Snyder, said, “We wanted to ground Superman in a reality that the audience could understand, with iconic American locations, like Sears, to make the film feel as authentic as possible.”

Key scenes in MAN OF STEEL take place in downtown “Smallville” that features a Sears store. Fans may also spot vintage Kenmore appliances in the Kent family’s kitchen, Craftsman tools in the Kent’s family barn and products from both brands in the Smallville Sears store.
