The voice cast for Justice Society: World War II was announced last week, and Warner Bros. Animation (via IGN) has now debuted the first trailer for this latest DC animated adventure.
The teaser sees modern-day Barry Allen/The Flash travel back in time via the Speed Force, where he winds up joining forces with the Golden Age heroes that make up an early incarnation of The Justice Society of America.
With the Fastest Man Alive tipping the odds in their favor, Wonder Woman, Hourman, Black Canary, Hawkman, Steve Trevor and Jay Garrick embark on a mission to end the Nazi threat once and for all, while searching for a way to send Allen back to his own time.
The impressive cast features Stana Katic (Castle) as Wonder Woman, Matt Bomer (Doom Patrol) as The Flash, Elysia Rotaru (Arrow) as Black Canary, Chris Diamantopoulos (Silicon Valley) as Steve Trevor, Omid Abtahi (American Gods, The Mandalorian) as Hawkman, Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Overwatch) as Hourman, and Armen Taylor (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind) as Jay Garrick.
Jeff Wamester (the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series) directs from a script by Meghan Fitzmartin (Supernatural) and Jeremy Adams (Batman: Soul Of The Dragon).
"Justice Society: World War II finds modern-day Barry Allen – prior to the formation of the Justice League – discovering he can run even faster than he imagined, and that milestone results in his first encounter with the Speed Force. The Flash is promptly launched into the midst of a raging battle – primarily between Nazis and a team of Golden Age DC Super Heroes known as The Justice Society of America.
Led by Wonder Woman, the group includes Hourman, Black Canary, Hawkman, Steve Trevor and the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick. The Flash quickly volunteers to assist his fellow heroes in tipping the scales of war in their favor, while the team tries to figure out how to send him home. But it won’t be easy as complications and emotions run deep in this time-skipping World War II thriller."
No official release date has been set, but Justice Society: World Wat II is expected to hit Blu-ray and Digital later this year.
