Earlier this year, a rumor did the rounds online that an Elseworlds tale titled Batman: Soul of the Dragon was in development for a 2021 release which would focus on The Caped Crusader teaming up with Bronze Tiger, Lady Shiva, and Richard Dragon.

Now, THR has confirmed the report with a first look at the main characters and details on who'll be providing their voices.

Soul of the Dragon will feature David Giuntoli as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Mark Dacascos as Richard Dragon, Kelly Hu as Lady Shiva, Michael Jai White as Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger, James Hong as O-Sensei and Josh Keaton as Jeffrey Burr. The '70s-set story will see "Bruce Wayne face a deadly menace from his past, with the help of three former classmates."

Bruce Timm is executive producing, with Sam Liu (Reign of the Supermen; Batman: The Killing Joke) directing and producing. Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge writer Jeremy Adams penned the script.

"Batman, Bronze Tiger, Lady Shiva, and Richard Dragon join forces when they come to realize that they share a common acquaintance. The Martial Arts Master that trained them has been missing for a number of years and under mysterious circumstances. When a cursed relic resurfaces, the mystery of their dead master re-opens and Batman and his former classmates must face-off in the ultimate test of their Martial Arts kills to gain control of this dangerous relic."

Batman: Soul of the Dragon is due for release early next year.

Oh my, great looking character designs once again! It still hasn't sunk in that we've finally moved on from the New 52verse. Between this and Superman: Man of Tomorrow, DC animation is looking so damn promising.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - I like that they're experimenting with animated styles again. This and Man of Tomorrow look so unlike one another.

Slightly OT but anyone checked out Seis Manos on Netflix?

@Necropolitan - it’s not great but it’s pretty solid. Good fun and it knows exactly what it is. I binged it a few months ago.

@Necropolitan - no but I plan to. it's so weird that is in the "anime" category though, it's clearly a western production. then again so is Castlevania.

@Necropolitan - I binged it when it first came out and I liked it, great cliffhanger. Sadly it seems many slept on it when I thought it could get the same feedback Castlevania did because it was martial arts.

BTW, I just stumbled upon these beautifully animated Batman toy commercials:




THIS is how The Killing Joke should have looked. It looks like Brian Bolland's artwork brought to life.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Looks like liquid animation's Batman. Do you happen yo know who is the Animator?
THEDARKKNIGHT1939
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 8/12/2020, 10:33 AM
@Dannywest - Yes, John Celestri. Also famously animated the Boba Fett segments from the Holiday Special.

now this is the kind of unique animation style I look forward to in a DC animated movie. so glad the New 52 inspired era is over. it also just seems like a fun concept, "70s era martial arts mixed with a little of blaxploitation, and there's also Batman", come on that is awesome.

If this does well, how about a blacksploitation style Black Lightning animated movie

Seriously how is it WB Animation keeps casting actors to voice Batman, but never consider them for live action. I mean seriously David Giuntoli was my top choice for B-Man alongside Scott Adkins.
