Trailer for New Batman Film Introduces a Perfectly Cast 'Breaking Bad' Star as The Joker
Image
A full three years after it was first announced, it's time to formally introduce a new version of Batman that's never been shown on screen. At the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the first trailer for Batman Azteca: Clash of Empires was revealed, and IGN was able to exclusively share it online for anyone who couldn't make it out to the annual convention. The animated Elseworlds movie reimagines the Caped Crusader during the time of the Aztec Empire, with a young Mesoamerican boy named Yohualli Coatl taking up the mantle. When his father is murdered and his village is conquered by the ruthless Hernán Cortés and his army of Spanish conquistadors, he sets off to warn King Moctezuma and forge himself into a warrior of the night capable of defending his land from the invaders.

After some foreshadowing of how Coatl would conquer his fears to become the Batman,...

Why The Animated Batman: Hush Changed The Identity Of The Comic's Villain
Image
Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's 2002 "Batman" story arc "Hush" is in the hall of canonical Batman stories, so it was only a matter of time before it got a movie — and it did, in 2019, via the animated "Batman: Hush." But not every Bat-fan out there appreciated the changes the movie made.

One reason "Hush" has stayed popular is because it's self-contained, accessible, and includes lots of important faces. Chapters Four and Five even detour to Metropolis so Batman can meet up with, and fight, Superman. This makes "Hush" a great first "Batman" comic to recommend to new readers. The memories for "Hush" are so fond that DC has even roped Loeb and Lee back in for a "Hush" sequel, which is ongoing in "Batman" right now.

"Hush" has the same structure as Loeb's even more acclaimed "Batman: The Long Halloween" (drawn by the late Tim Sale) — an episodic...

“They wanted a lot more humor in it”: One WB Decision May Have Saved the Darkest, Grimmest Dcau Movie
Image
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War was an original story that served as a sequel to Justice League Dark. The film served as the finale to the Dcau, which was then rebooted into the Tomorrow-verse. The film deals with some pretty heavy subject matter, concerning the end of the timeline as we knew it.

A still from Justice League Dark: Apokolips War

Given how dark the film was, screenwriter Ernie Altbacker talked to Sci-Fi Now about what it meant for the studio, and how much free reign the creators were given for the movie, given that it was an original script and an original story that did not have any connection to the comics.

“If you’re not Alan Moore, maybe don’t try it”: Justice League Dark: Apokolips War Writer Has No Regrets for the ‘Emo Etrigan’ Controversy
Image
The final film in the Dcamu, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War brought together many classic characters from the DC roster into the forefront to battle Darkseid. The film series which began with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox saw many characters that were not usually explored in the mainstream such as Constantine, Raven, and more.

One such character was Etrigan the Demon, who joined the Justice League in their battle against Darkseid. Etrigan the Demon is known for his magical powers and his bond with the immortal knight Jason Blood. The Demon is also known for his penchant for rhyming while speaking, which was done away with Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. Spoilers ahead.

“He’s going to wreck everything”: WB Animation’s ‘No Limitations’ Rule is Why One Dcau Movie Will Forever be Better Than Crisis on Infinite Earths Trilogy
Image
WB Animation’s films and shows have always been streets ahead of DC’s live-action offerings. The studio is known for creating shows such as Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League, as well as films such as The Dark Knight Returns and others. The studio’s latest offering Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths will be wrapping up the Tomorrowverse.

The studio has gone through several franchises such as the Timmverse, Dcamu, and the latest Tomorrowverse. However, one of the most beloved franchises that explored many characters in the DC roster was the Dcamu which ended with Justice League Dark: Apokalips War. One of the reasons why the latter is beloved by fans is due to the ‘no limitations’ rule that the studio had which gave freedom to the writers to hold no bars. Spoilers ahead.

Justice League: Warworld’s Butch Lukic Discussed Why The Animated Film Became Rated-r

During an interview with Screen Rant, executive producer Butch Lukic talked about Justice League: Warworld and how its rating came to be.

“It’s mostly rated R because of the violence. There’s a lot of bloodletting, sword-fighting, and gunfights. The violence, and then the R rating’s coming from that.

“I got really pissed”: After Spider-Man: The Animated Series, John Semper Was Forced to Shut Down His Ghost Rider Show Due to Avi Arad

When it comes to creators of animated superhero shows, few names resonate as strongly as John Semper. The realm of superheroes is ever-evolving. It is spread across multiple forms of media and holds a special place in the hearts of millions. The animated shows and movies tend to hold a special place within the fandom.

Renowned for creating the infamous Spider-Man: The Animated Series back in the 90s, Semper is held in great regard. After the success of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, the filmmaker wanted to make a Ghost Rider show.

Being an established showrunner, one would expect Semper to get things his way with the higher-ups. But this wasn’t always the case. An interruption from former Marvel chairman Avi Arad, completely shut down the Ghost Rider show.

For its most recent animated feature, Justice League: Warworld, DC returns to the Tomorrowverse, which has been the setting for Superman: Man of Tomorrow, and Legion of Super-Heroes among others. It’s also a return to “R” rated animation and it’s easy to see why as the film has barely begun when Wonder Woman starts taking out cowboys with bloody headshots.

Yes, I said cowboys. It seems she’s managed to not only end up in the Old West but she’s gotten herself on the wrong side of Jonah Hex and his men.

Justice League Warworld Interviews Detail New DC Tomorrowverse Movie
Image
Justice League: Warworld is the sixth entry in DC's Tomorrowverse, a franchise made up of interconnected movies that premiered in 2020 with the film Superman: Man of Tomorrow. The franchise has grown and introduced characters like Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, The Justice Society, and the Legion of Superheroes. Justice League: Warworld is the first event project, finally uniting DC's big three of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in a Justice League project.

Yet there is a twist with this team-up. The trio finds themselves in unlikely scenarios, almost as if they have played a game of musical chairs where they find themselves in genres made for one of their other fellow heroes. Bruce Wayne is put into a sword and sorcery style fantasy that Wonder Woman is commonly associated with. Wonder Woman herself is put in a Western, an all-American setting that most people might conflate with the Man of Steel.

Recently discharged Marine sniper John Stewart is at a crossroads in his life, one which is only complicated by receiving an extraterrestrial ring which grants him the powers of the Green Lantern of Earth. Unfortunately, the ring doesn’t come with instructions – but it does come with baggage, like a horde of interplanetary killers bent on eliminating every Green Lantern in the universe. Now, with the aid of the light-hearted Green Arrow, Adam Strange and Hawkgirl, this reluctant soldier must journey into the heart of a galactic Rann/Thanagar war and somehow succeed where all other Green Lanterns have failed.

‘Constantine: The House of Mystery’ Blu-ray Review

Features the voices of: Matt Ryan, Ray Chase, Robin Atkin Downes, Grey Griffin, Camilla Luddington, Damian O’Hare, Lou Diamond Phillips | Written by Ernie Altbacker | Directed by Matt Peters

Constantine: The House of Mystery is essentially a series of previously released DC animated shorts tied together with an all-new short based on the adventures of John Constantine in the titular House of Mystery (which was also the name of a DC comic back in the day that introduced the likes of Swamp Thing). Surprisingly, the animated short is actually set after the last series of DC animated movies, before the recent reboot in 2020, when the Justice League faced Darkseid and the Apokolips War and ended the then 15-movie run of animated DC features.

Constantine: The House of Mystery starts directly after the end of Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, with the heroes licking their wounds and realising the end of the world was still nigh.

Review: Injustice
Image
I don’t play video game so I am only peripherally familiar with Injustice, an Imaginary Story featuring the DC Universe. Similarly, I didn’t read the Injustice: Gods Among Us prequel comic book that apparently sold well enough to inspire Warner Animation to invest precious time and resources in adapting it to film. The resulting product, out now from Warner Home Entertainment, is an acquired taste.

Those familiar with the source material will be irked at how much has been trimmed out to fit hundreds of pages into a 75-minute story. Those unfamiliar with the tale will scratch their heads a lot, asking, “How’d that happen?”

Taking a page from Mark Waid and Alex Ross’s Kingdom Come, Superman turns dark with rage and grief after the Joker kills Lois Lane. The twist is that this Lois is pregnant, deepening his pain. He becomes a dictator, instilling his...

Edge of Fear (2018)
Looking to The Future of the DC Universe
Edge of Fear (2018)
The beauty of telling stories in a multiverse is the infinite possibility offered by the infinite places and infinite times to set those stories in. DC’s embrace of their multiverse has historically been one of its strongest features, but Crisis on Infinite Earths muted that ability for decades after, and only recently have comics creators started to enthusiastically dive into the concept again. And with Dark Nights: Death Metal wailing towards its conclusion, it looks like DC is set to go head first into the Bleed again.

Future State is the next big DC Comics event. Following the conclusion of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s explosive reintroduction of the infinite multiverse-slash-musing on what might happen if we let evil get a couple of high profile wins in (gee no real world analogue to that story at all no sir), the entire DC line will be taking a pause for two months,...

Review: The rest of Justice League Dark: Apokolips War
Image
In time for the digital streaming release of Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, I had the chance to see a digital version of the film which I reviewed here.

Warner Home Entertainment sent out the 4k Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and Digital HD combo pack for further examination. The feature itself is just lovely to watch on 4K, both audio and video are superb.

The real fun this time are the Special Features starting with the DC Showcase: Adam Strange (16:05). J.M. DeMatteis wrote a fine tale, tragically updating the story of the archeologist who found himself becoming the hero of distant Rann. We see Adam (Charlie Weber ) on Rann, too late to stop a Thanagarian attack that seemed to kill his wife, Alanna. A Zeta beam transports him back to an asteroid mining colony located cheekily in Space Sector 24601, where he succumbs to despair and alcohol. Until… It’s an...

‘Justice League Dark: Apokolips War’ Review
Image
Features the voices of: Roger Cross, Rosario Dawson, Christopher Gorham, Camilla Luddington, Shemar Moore, Jerry O’Connell, Jason O’Mara, Matt Ryan, Sachie Alessio, Stuart Allan, Ray Chase, John Dimaggio, Taissa Farmiga, Liam McIntyre, Tony Todd | Written by Ernie Altbacker, Mairghread Scott | Directed by Matt Peters, Christina Sotta

Like most people – and I am basing this entirely on the box office – I am more of a Marvel person than DC. But I definitely am not loyal to either side. DC have produced plenty of great live-action movies but I was intrigued how they would fare with an animated adult movie.

Ending a fifteen movie story arc, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War is DC’s Endgame as we see the Justice League regroup after the decimation of Earth and attempting to finally defeat Darkseid.

Not having seen any DC animated movie before this (or many animated superhero movies at all) I went into...

Review: Justice League Dark: Apokolips War
Image
All of the marketing promises that Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, out today for digital streaming, is the final chapter of the DC Animated Movie Universe. Similar to Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame wrapping up a decade’s worth of stories, this too brings everything to a cosmic climax, the likes of which have not been attempted before. The largely successful effort clocks in at 90 minutes, making for the longest film yet in the 38 animated features from Warner Animation.

The film opens with John Constantine (Matt Ryan), now a full-fledged member of the League, in bed with Zatanna (Camilla Luddington), a moment of bliss before impending doom. The language and graphic violence definitely make this inappropriate for the youngest viewers so parents are forewarned.

Darkseid (Tony Todd) has been a looming threat and now, he launches his all-out assault on Earth. With the Titans left to defend Earth, Superman (Jerry O’Connell...

DC fans have been waiting two years to get their first sneak peek at the upcoming movie, which will be available sometime this spring. An official release date has not yet been announced, but will more than likely be revealed soon.

See the First Images of DC Showcase’s Phantom Stranger
‘Twas the night before Christmas … and DC dropped a final holiday gift.

The upcoming release of Superman: Red Son includes the all-new DC Showcase animated short, Phantom Stranger. Here are the first images from Phantom Stranger depicting the two lead characters – the Phantom Stranger (voiced by Peter Serafinowicz of The Tick fame) and the mysterious Seth (voiced by Smallville‘s Michael Rosenbaum).

Phantom Stranger has Bruce Timm (Batman: The Killing Joke) at the helm as executive producer & director, and the short is written by Ernie Altbacker (Teen Titans: The Judas Contract). Set in the 1970s, the short follows young adult Jess as she joins her friends at a party in a dilapidated mansion hosted by the mysterious Seth. When odd things begin to happen to Jess and her friends, the Phantom Stranger intervenes to try and save her from a dreary fate. In addition to Serafinowicz and Rosenbaum, “Phantom Stranger...

Review: Batman: Hush
The Hush storyline by Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee, and Scott Williams was a smash sales success because it safely followed the Loeb formula of a 12-issue mystery that enveloped every major member of the rogues’ gallery. First, there was the Holiday killed and the making of Two-Face and here we have the new threat of Hush which connects to young Bruce Wayne’s childhood.

To fit this into the connected Animated Universe, Batman: Hush, out now from Warner Home Entertainment, a host of changes had to be made. The one that did not need alteration is the one that entirely spoils the final third of the 82-minute film.

I’ve not been fond of veteran animation writer Ernie Altbacker’s previous forays into the Dcau, but this contains some of his finest moments. Coupled with above-average source material and fine character designs, this is one of the stronger-looking films in a while.

Christian Bale in The Dark Knight (2008)
Batman: Hush Review: Another Stellar Entry in DC's Animated Universe
Christian Bale in The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight gets hot and heavy with Catwoman while being threatened by a mysterious villain. Batman: Hush is an action-packed, decidedly more adult entry in the DC Animated Universe. Crisp animation and a clever plot keeps the pacing sleek. Adapted from the brilliant comic series by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, Batman: Hush also follows up on events after Reign of the Supermen; with the voice cast reprising their roles. Gotham's rogues gallery does some of their best supporting work. I rarely find Poison Ivy (Peyton List) interesting, but she's nearly a scene stealer here.

Batman: Hush begins with Bruce Wayne (Jason O'Mara) seeing Selina Kyle (Jennifer Morrison) at a fundraiser. Their mutual attraction reignites before Batman is called away urgently. Bane (Adam Gifford) has kidnapped a child for ransom. When Batman faces the venom fueled brute, he notices Bane's odd behavior. Catwoman joins the fracas, but we soon...

Superman: Red Son Release Date, Trailer, Cast, and Details
Jim Dandy Kirsten Howard Feb 13, 2020

DC's animated movie adaptation of Superman: Red Son is almost here. Here's everything you need to know...

Superman: Red Son is the next iconic DC Comics story to get the animated feature treatment, and it's coming very, very soon!

Indeed, the 2003 comic miniseries from Mark Millar, Dave Johnson, and Killian Plunkett, which might just be the best known Elseworlds tale ever, is set land its animated movie in February, 2020.

The original story imagines a world where baby Kal-El's ship crashed in Ukraine instead of Kansas, and then Superman was raised as a Soviet superweapon. It features some of the sharpest Elseworlds design work ever done, adapting the entire Justice League into brutalist Soviet art styles. And it's one of those rare Millar books where the heart is bigger than the shock value of the story.

Batman Fights Bane and Catwoman in 2 New Clips From DC Animation's Batman: Hush
Warner Bros. has released a couple of new clips from their upcoming new DC animated film Batman: Hush. The first clip is called “Batman Vs. Bane” so, of course, you are going to get to see the two characters brutally fight! The second clip is called “Cat Chase” which features Batman chasing down Catwoman.

I’m a big fan of this Batman storyline which was originally written by Jeph Loeb with art by Jim Lee. I liked the first trailer that was released and there’s a good chance this will be a decent adaptation that fans will enjoy. Here’s the synopsis for those of you not familiar with the story:

Batman: Hush centers on a mysterious new villain known only as Hush, who uses a rogues’ gallery of villains to destroy Batman’s crime-fighting career as well as Bruce Wayne’s personal life, which has been further complicated...

Batman: Hush Blu-ray Release Date And Bonus Content Revealed
Now that the likes of Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, The Killing Joke and Under the Red Hood are out of the way, it’s long overdue that Batman: Hush be adapted as an animated film. Not only does the source material remain my favorite comic book story arc to feature the Caped Crusader, but it also serves as a perfect jumping on point because it includes so many essential characters.

Fortunately, we won’t have to wait much longer for it to arrive, as the flick will be made available digitally beginning on July 2oth, with 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack and Blu-ray Combo Pack releases set to follow on August 13th. Additionally, it’ll also hit the DC Universe streaming service on the latter date given.

Batman: Hush Trailer Brings Gotham's Greatest Villains Out of Hiding
Warner Bros. has released the first full-length trailer for Batman Hush. This is the latest in a long series of animated DC Comics adaptations that have proved to be very solid and welcome additions for fans. Only occasionally do we get the major slip up. In this case, the studio is tackling one of the character's most beloved and seminal storylines in what looks to be an action-packed and totally stuffed to the gills animated tour of Gotham City.

Things kick off with a, shall we say, heated chase between Batman and Catwoman. It gets progressively tense from there, as Poison Ivy is controlling Superman, which leads to some pretty epic destruction. As it turns out, there's a mysterious villain pulling the strings from behind the scenes known only (as the title implies) Hush. From there it becomes a cat and mouse game, with the who's who of Batman's rogues...

DC's Animated Film Adaptation of Batman: Hush Gets a First Trailer
Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for their upcoming new DC animated film Batman: Hush. I love this Batman story and it’s great to see that it’s finally getting an animated film adaptation. It looks like it’ll be a pretty solid movie. I liked what I saw in this first trailer.

The original story was written by Jeph Loeb and it featured art by Jim Lee penciling, Scott Williams inking, and Alex Sinclair coloring. Here’s the synopsis for those of you not familiar:

Batman: Hush centers on a mysterious new villain known only as Hush, who uses a rogues’ gallery of villains to destroy Batman’s crime-fighting career as well as Bruce Wayne’s personal life, which has been further complicated by a relationship with Selina Kyle/Catwoman.

The film will be voiced by a slew of DC veterans as well as some new blood.

New DC Animated Shorts Coming
Jim Dandy May 12, 2019

Sgt. Rock, Adam Strange, the Phantom Stranger, Sandman's Death, and Batman: Death in the Family are all getting the DC animated treatment.

A new series of DC Animated Shorts are coming in 2019, and the list is full of surprises. DC and Warner Brothers Animation announced a slate of five short animated stories led by five very different characters - Batman, Sgt. Rock, Adam Strange, the Phantom Stranger, and Sandman’s Death - and created by some of the heaviest hitters in the DC animated orbit.

This is Death’s first appearance in non-comics media. Her story sounds a little bit like Death: The High Cost of Living, the miniseries created by Neil Gaiman and Chris Bachalo - manic pixie Endless girl meets an artist and helps him work through his personal issues to come to grips with his artistic legacy and inevitable demise. It’s produced and directed by Justice League vs.

DC Showcase Returns with Sgt. Rock, Adam Strange, Death, Phantom Stranger
Burbank, CA – Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, in partnership with DC, are currently in production on five new DC Showcase animated shorts for release in 2019-2020.

Inspired by characters and stories from DC’s robust portfolio, the all-new series of shorts will be included on upcoming DC Universe Movies releases, with exception of an innovative Batman: Death in the Family long-form animated short, which will anchor a compilation set for distribution in late 2020.

Each of the five shorts – entitled Sgt. Rock, Adam Strange, Death, The Phantom Stranger and Batman: Death in the Family – opens with a new, live-action branding sequence that features a few Easter Eggs specially added for observant fans.

Sgt. Rock is executive produced and directed by Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series) from a script by award-winning comics writers Louise Simonson & Walter Simonson and Tim Sheridan (Reign of the Supermen). The original tale finds battle-weary Sgt.

Batman: Death In The Family To Anchor New DC Showcase Animated Shorts
If you’ve been collecting DC animated movies for some time, then you probably remember the Showcase shorts from nearly a decade ago. For those unfamiliar, these truncated stories allowed for the likes of the Spectre, Jonah Hex and Green Arrow to shine alongside whichever feature film they complemented. Not long after, each were compiled on a separate home video release, Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam, which was considerably meatier than its brethren but still technically a short itself.

Now, after a lengthy hibernation, the concept has been resurrected. Soon enough, cult favorites such as Sgt. Rock, Adam Strange, Death and the Phantom Stranger will stand next to whatever corresponding animated flicks Warner Bros. choose. And much like before, each of those will join a lengthier short in the form of Batman: Death in the Family in one handsome Blu-ray package later on in 2020.

Previously, the whole Death...
