New stills from Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham have been released, putting the spotlight on the Caped Crusader, Oliver Queen, Harvey Dent, and Talia al Ghul.

Based on Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Richard Pace's 2000 Elseworlds story of the same name, the story is heavily inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, with the title actually referencing his short story "The Doom That Came to Sarnath." While the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman won't appear, many grounded heroes and villains will. 

The Doom That Came to Gotham is part of Warner Bros. Home Entertainment's "Tomorrowverse" continuity, with next year's Justice League: Warworld and a Legion of Super-Heroes also set to be part of that.

In The Doom That Came to Gotham, explorer Bruce Wayne accidentally unleashes an ancient evil, and returns to Gotham after being away for two decades. Batman battles Lovecraftian supernatural forces and encounters allies and enemies such as Green Arrow, Ra’s al Ghul, Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, Two-Face, and James Gordon.

The first trailer for the latter was recently released, and you can watch it here

In terms of the movie's cast, Jensen Ackles won't be reprising his role as Batman, with A Million Little Things star David Giuntoli instead tapped to lend his voice to the Dark Knight. 

Elsewhere, we can look forward to hearing Tati Gabrielle as Kai Li Cain, Christopher Gorham as Oliver Queen, John DiMaggio as James Gordon, Patrick Fabian as Harvey Dent, Brian George as Alfred, and Jason Marsden as Dick Grayson and Young Bruce Wayne.

Supporting cast members include Karan Brar as Sanjay "Jay" Tawde, David Dastmalchian as Grendon, Navid Negahban as Ra's al Ghul, Emily O'Brien as Talia al Ghul and Martha Wayne, Tim Russ as Lucius Fox, Matthew Waterson as Jason Blood/Etrigan, Jeffrey Combs as Kirk Langstrom, William Salyers as Cobblepot, Gideon Adlon as Oracle, and Darin De Paul as Thomas Wayne.

Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham doesn't have an official release date quite yet, but is expected to arrive next Spring.

The top responses to this tweet are about as predictable and pathetic as expected.

@DrReedRichards - Looks like #FireJamesGunn is the new #ReleaseTheSnyderCut/#RestoreTheSnyderverse/#BendOverForZaddy.

The cult are an easily agitated kind. A better person would feel sorry for them.

@DrReedRichards - Tweeting 'fire James Gunn' doesn't make you a cultist.

Why do you want them to seethe?

@Nightwing1015 -

Tweeting #FireJamesGunn proves where one's intent lies. Read betweem the lines. Put two and two together. Don't pretend something is not the case when it blindingly is.

Nightwing1015 - 12/22/2022, 9:32 AM
@DrReedRichards - All it means for sure is they don't want James Gunn in charge of DC because of the decisions he's made so far. It's not cult behaviour.

Why would you want people who you don't know to seethe because they disagree with you about who should run a comic book movie studio?

@Nightwing1015 -

Read. Between. The lines.

I speak with sincerety, therefore I only speak with others who are also sincere. If you want to keep lying to yourself, keep doing so. But expect no courtesy from me.

Nightwing1015 - 12/22/2022, 2:56 PM
@DrReedRichards - I'm not lying to myself I just disagree with you because I don't like to jump to those assumptions based on 1 hashtag. If you want to use that as an excuse to be discourtesy or whatever then that's on you.

@Nightwing1015 -

You clearly are, though, or you're pretending to for the sake of a dishonest argument, and I have neither the time nor the will to pretend otherwise.
Nightwing1015
Nightwing1015 - 12/22/2022, 4:53 PM
@DrReedRichards - Why in gods name would I pretend to hold an opinion I don't actually hold? Because I'm a disgruntled Snyder fanboy who wants him back in charge or some shit??

No sorry, you are not automatically a Snyder fanboy just because you don't want Gunn in charge of DC. There's nuance in this topic.

You talk about your sincerity but you're awfully quick to lambast anyone who disagrees as insincere/disingenuous based on nothing.

@Nightwing1015 -

You are. And the mire you're lying about it, the more you're pissing me off.
Nightwing1015
Nightwing1015 - 12/22/2022, 5:11 PM
@DrReedRichards - hahahaha so now you're telling me I want Snyder back in charge even though I don't?? Even though he destroyed a franchise full of my favourite characters and wasted 10 years and hundreds of millions of dollars??

Imagine getting pissed off because you think you know what a complete stranger wants more than they do.....the mind boggles.
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 12/22/2022, 5:18 PM
@Nightwing1015 -

Why the f#ck you want Snyder back is your own story. Might be because you enjoy teenage edgelord shit with the depth of an A4 paper. Might be because he tickled your ear by telling you that your much envied opposition live in whatever dreamworld he clearly is jealous of. F#cknif I know, f#ck if I care.

But your Zaddy made you feel important. Made you feel unique. Made you feel that you are better just for going against the mainstream. And now that someone who comes from that mainstream is actually in charge, your contrarian asss just can't stand it.

But I'm here for it. I'll be here for it. Anyone who give a shut about these characters, including the guy you want fired himself, will be here for it.

And there's nothing you can do about it.
Nightwing1015
Nightwing1015 - 12/22/2022, 5:26 PM
@DrReedRichards - I've always thought you were curt on here but I'm starting to see that you are fully deranged. You are seriously telling ME what I supposedly think about Snyder's films despite me being on record on this very site criticising them for 6 years.

That is frankly delusional. You have the attitude of a crazed capitalist during the Red Scare. YOU AND YOU ALONE get to decide other's opinions.

Also I never even said I personally want Gunn fired. But that's just another one of my opinions I suppose you get to arrogantly decide for me.
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 12/22/2022, 5:30 PM
@Nightwing1015 -

Did you or did you not post FireJamesGunn? 'Cause if you never have and never intend to, why the f#ck are you defending those who do? Things are simple. This who don't want or don't enjoy Gunn's vision don't advocate his removal so adamamtly. Only those who actively root for his replacement do.

Read. Between. The f#ckin'. Lines.
Nightwing1015
Nightwing1015 - 12/22/2022, 5:41 PM
@DrReedRichards - I have not ever posted that hashtag no. I personally don't care if they fire him or not.

"why the f#ck are you defending those who do?"

Because I believe people can express their opinion if they feel he's the wrong choice for DC and they shouldn't be disrespected for it???

I don't think its necessary to advocate for a specific replacement for somebody when saying they should be fired. For example, when people called for Zack and Ezra to be fired they didn't always have a pick in mind when they did that. And I don't think they should have to.


You've already completely misread my opinions and put my in a Snyder Fanboy box despite what I've said over the years.
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 12/22/2022, 5:48 PM
@Nightwing1015 -

People have every right to express their opinions. Just as everyone who reads said opinions has the right to interpret what said opinions represent. So et me clarify on case that wasn't clear enough for you already:

There are numerically zero non-Snyder fans who use this hashtag unironically.
Nightwing1015
Nightwing1015 - 12/22/2022, 5:53 PM
@DrReedRichards - I'm sure they are using it unironically. I just don't happen to think that them disliking Gunn's leadership or indeed liking Snyder's is some kind of moral problem with them as a whole.

These are just comic book movies its not that deep. They're not evil and I don't want them to "seethe" because that's childish. The Snyder era is over anyway and its not coming back. Doesn't mean I bear them animosity because they haven't liked Gunn's decisions so far.
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 12/22/2022, 6:12 PM
@Nightwing1015 -

Who said it's deep? It's f#ckin' simple. What have I been saying all this time? If you tweet that shit, it shows that you want Gunn not simply gone, but replaced with your precious Zaddy. There's nothing layered or misinterpretable about that.

I wish they'd change their animation style. I've never liked it. Something like Spiderverse would be so, so cool.

@MarvelousMarty - I couldn’t even watch spider verse. The skip-frame animation style causes me to have issues visually and makes me sick to watch over any length of time. Netflix uses it on their CGI anime as well and I can’t watch those either.

@MarvelousMarty - the way they write the dialogue is also bad, people pause for long periods of time between sentences

@MarvelousMarty - I actually quite like this animation style. Long Halloween has my favorite style, but this one works for alternate story in my opinion.

@Taonrey - I noticed that, especially in the Death of Superman movie when the Justice League are discussing the budget in the watch tower. They didn’t feel like legit conversations

They should make a Batman Beyond movie that takes place after the JLU episode Epilogue that pays tribute to Kevin Conroy.

Interesting, like the period style! Facial art style also looks like a lot like Superman/Batman: Apocalypse.
