Superman '78 & Batman '89

FIlm Festival Movies

What’s Happening?

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.

And now's your chance to celebrate 96 with us all year long with a Movies at the Palace Membership—your all-access pass to a full year of blockbuster screenings, fan-favorite classics, and exclusive cinematic experiences. Members receive free tickets, early access, priority seating, special perks, and even a vote to help choose a film for the big screen.

More about United Palace
Built in 1930 as one of Loew’s “Wonder Theatres,” the United Palace was one of the region’s premier vaudeville and movie houses. Designed by noted architect Thomas Lamb (James Earl Jones Theatre, Ziegfeld Theatre) with interiors by decorative specialist Harold Rambusch (Waldorf Astoria, Roxy Theatre), it was described by The New York Times as “Byzantine-Romanesque-Indo-Hindu-Sino-Moorish-Persian-Eclectic-Rococo-Deco” and a “kitchen sink masterpiece.” With more than 3,000 seats, it is still the fourth largest venue of its kind in Manhattan.
