2023 Slate Of DC Animated Movies Include LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES And JUSTICE LEAGUE: WARWORLD

While pretty much everything was overshadowed by Marvel Studios at Comic-Con, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment brought some surprises of its own, announcing a number of huge DC Animated Universe projects!

By JoshWilding - Jul 25, 2022 02:07 PM EST

Green Lantern: Beware My Power premiered for lucky fans at the San Diego Comic-Con this weekend, and that was followed by some thrilling announcements courtesy of irreplaceable film publicist Gary Miereanu (a.k.a. @SuperPRGuy). 

While we don't have a tonne of details right now, the titles on the way include Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham, Legion of Super-Heroes, and Justice League: Warworld. It was also mentioned that a sequel to Justice Society: World War II is in the works (news which makes us very happy). We expect the first three to be released in 2023.

This new era of DC Animated Universe storytelling has affectionately been dubbed the "Tomorrowverse" by fans. Kicking off with Superman: Man of Tomorrow, that was followed by the JSA movie and Batman: The Long Halloween. Earlier this year, Jensen Ackles appeared to confirm that he's working on a future Batman project, and we're assuming it's one or all of these. 

Remember, that two-part blockbuster ended with the Dark Knight being approached by Green Arrow and The Flash, suggesting Batman was going to join the Justice League. 

If we had to hazard a guess, Justice League: Warworld is a reference to Mogul. In the comics, he controls a weaponised satellite dubbed "Warworld" that's the size of a small planet, and he'd definitely make a fitting threat to this iteration of the team (we've also seen a fair bit of Darkseif at this point). 

Talking to us about the release of Green Lantern: Beware My Power, Executive Producer Butch Lukic hinted at big plans for the new Justice League.

"We’ve not necessarily gone into this movie with the plan to set up another story as we’re really setting up these characters. That’s why Green Arrow, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl are the main characters here so we can get the Justice League together at some point," he revealed. "The team exists, but John wasn’t part of the team yet, so we’re really building on the Justice League coming together again."

Stay tuned for updates as more will likely be revealed soon!

@Doomsday8888 - Indeed its about time!
Also noticed this in the Black Adam trailer:



I don't think it will lead to anything but that shirt kind of looks like Starboy's Silver Age costume. Its probs just an Easter Egg if even that seeing as they did connect Star Boy to the JSA and Starman several times.

soooooo the animated universe is doing what the live action universe should have done if it wasnt for dumb ass corporate drones in the WB. now its merged with discovery and more corporate asshats are poised to make shitty decisions for the live action universe. well ill be happy with animation at least.

@supermanrex - It's a shame. The animated movies are far more coherent and better than live action ones (with the except of the new 52 movies).

@Arthorious - Even the first few new 52 movies were much better than the DCEU Justice League film. Green Lantern, Superman's and Batman's first meeting is more memorable than anything in Justice League 2017.

@supermanrex - It so disheartening to see such potential wasted by some corp executives who don’t know anything about comics, making decisions based on how it’ll affect their bottom line, while ironically not accepting that making these terrible decisions is what keeps hurting their bottom line.

Marvel hasn’t stuck exactly exactly to source material, but they’ve done a much much better job, and have had a long term approach.

DC is just sad an pathetic at this point which is really depressing.

I’ve always wondered why not just put Bruce Timm in charge of the live action, I highly doubt it can be any worse than what we’ve already gotten

@MuadDib - you see people slam disney for being corporate evil and blah blah. but WB is the prime example of corporate shitfest. disney is doing the one thing WB refuses to do. let the creators and the talent do their thing with little to no interference. feige is nurturing this universe with love and time. WB would have fast tracked another avengers movie to make a quick buck and it would have been a complete disaster cause they are greedy. someone needs to purchase DC away from WB asap. the execs over there dont see time honored and beloved characters in DC.. they just see IP they can milk and push.

@supermanrex - I agree and often day dream of what could be, had some comic book nerd / billionaire purchased DC and done things the right way.

Oh well, back to reality.

Legion of Super-Heroes? Cool. I like it when WB occasionally remembers they exist.

I really like the direction the Tomorrowverse is going in, so I gladly see more of it

Pathetic. DC's animated movies have made a cohesive universe, not once but twice mind you (new 52 movies, yeah most were bad but at least they concluded it), but their live action movies are still in shambles. They have a blueprint right in front of them, heck they're using it for their animated movies.

dracula - 7/25/2022, 2:41 PM
@Arthorious - 3 cohesive universes with the classic dcau

Arthorious - 7/25/2022, 2:47 PM
@dracula - dang you’re right. Another L for the live action

Reeds2Much - 7/25/2022, 3:22 PM
@Arthorious - Like it or hate it CW was pretty cohesive for a while, too.

Really, it's just the movies that seem to have trouble.

@Arthorious - Can't forgot the classic JL animated series

Whatever. Just tell me when I can watch BATMAN: CAPED CRUSADER.

would be cool to see that batman/hellboy/starman crossover adapted

Justice Society was fantastic! would love to see a sequel

Back to the shared universe shit again.

dracula
dracula - 7/25/2022, 3:10 PM
@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - they are still doing stand alones and at least this time they arent doing mostly shared universe stuff every year

this year only shared universe film we got was green lantern, everything else is stand alone

for this batch war world is probably shared universe, legion could go either way
Reeds2Much
Reeds2Much - 7/25/2022, 3:20 PM
Warworld means only one thing.

We need Justicezord power.

The Tomorrowverse so far has been solid to great for me! Was surprised at how much I enjoyed Long Halloween, but I LOVED Justice Society. Such a fun one!

One of the things that Warner Brothers should do to win back their fan base is to let Zack Snyder continue the Snyderverse...but animated. It would probably become wildly popular and would reduce the negative feelings for all involved. It addition they could swap out any out of control voice actors. Zack Snyder has experience doing animated films (Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole). It could also attract people to HBO Max and it could be a series. The animation should look like what they did with Beowulf (2007)...





This would free up the live action films to go in a different direction hopefully to restarting with a the Dark Knight films and Man of Steel. This is the way!

@Forthas - i think this is actully a pretty smart idea!

Meaning WB will never eva eva eva eva eva do it

@BO31 -

@Forthas - you know WB can’t commit to a good idea. WB is trying to fit a square peg into a block of cement. If it weren’t for Sony, I’d say WB is the worst company to helm comic book movies.

Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham is a fantastic comic! Can't wait to see it adapted.

The one I'm the most curious about is the Legion of Super-Heroes movie. I've always been left wanting to see more of the Legionnaires, especially after Mon-El and Brainy during Supergirl's run.





And if they're trying to do more with the JSA, it'd be great if they could further expand and explore the Infinitors characters from Infinity Inc. who are the Young Justice take of the JSA legacy.
