Comics Continuum's Kate Jewell recently interviewed Warner Brothers Animation supervising producer Alan Burnett where they discussed the reasons behind DC's push to feature a wide array of characters in the animated medium. He also disclosed a few bits of info regarding future projects in the DC animated universe:
"We decided to do the [DC showcase] shorts because we were tired of talking, as bonus material, and people have seen up talk about how we make these things forever so we feel like why don't we do another animated cartoon. Why don't we feature secondary DC characters who haven't' gotten their own long form cartoon yet. So that's how the showcase idea started."
"Three of them will be 10 minutes long and another one will be 22 minutes long. The Spectre, Jonah Hex and Green Arrow and the other one. . . we'll save for later."
