Reign of The Supermen Trailer

Warner Bros. Animation is still going strong.  We had The Death of Superman and now we get The Reign of Supermen.  I enjoy that DC is doing these great animated movies.  Taking stories from the comics and making them come alive through animation , you can’t beat it.  Here’s The Reign of The Supermen trailer through DC’s YouTube channel:

Constantine: City of Demons Trailer

Warner Bros. Animation and DC Comics is giving us another “R” rated animated movie.  I’m glad to see that the North American market with DC are making inroads into a mature market with animation.  Constantine: City of Demons continues DC’s venture into mature animation.  The animation looks nice and the story is what you would expect in a Constantine story.  Can’t wait to see this movie and I definitely want to see additional mature animated movies or shows pop up with not just DC, but other companies as well.  I don’t want it done just to do it, but only if the story fits the mature rating.  Here’s the trailer to Constantine: City of Demons from DC’s YouTube channel:

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight Trailer

DC is just hitting it out of the park with their animated features through Warner Bros. Animation.  The next feature is Batman: Gotham by Gaslight from an ElseWorlds title from back in the day.  It has Batman set back during the Jack the Ripper crimes.  The trailer below is a scene from the feature with Ivy and the killer.  Thanks to DC’s YouTube channel for this:

Freedom Fighters: The Ray Trailer

The CW Seed is adding to it’s animation slate with Freedom Fighters: The Ray.  This looks to be more of Warner Bros. Animation’s great run in the animated arena.  Here’s the trailer through DC Entertainment’s YouTube channel:

Justice League Dark Trailer

Justice League Dark looks like another cool animated feature from Warner Bros. Animation.  The trailer that is provided by FabianPohl Trailers YouTube channel is a rough edit that features drawing board scenes as well as actual animated scenes:

Batman: The Killing Joke Trailer

killing joke

DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation has decided to produce Batman: The Killing Joke.  This is one of the few rated “R” animated movies that a company in the U.S. has made.  If you are a fan of the Batman mythos you know this was a rough and traumatic story and there really was no other way to adapt this story and have the same resonance.  So everyone be aware that this is a great heart breaking/gut wrenching story that is not intended for children.

Batman: Bad Blood Trailer

Take a look at the latest from DC Comics.  The new animated feature Justice League vs. Teen Titans.  I have really enjoyed what DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are doing with their animated features and this one looks to be good as well.  Thanks to ICv2 to the heads up and IGN’s YouTube channel for the trailer:
