DC Comics and Warner Premiere; two similar-yet-different companies within the same realm. If only the two of them were filled with capes, masks, and super powers, it’d be very similar to their collaborative project, Justice League Crisis on Two Earths. This original, animated DVD and Blu-ray film is out today, February 23rd. It features the Justice League, similar to the incarnation from the Cartoon Network series, battling an evil Justice League from an alternative universe. True to the “opposite” stance, this evil League regularly does battle with a good Lex Luthor. How’s that for crazy! This is the seventh animated special in the line of the DC Universe Original Animated Movies line released by Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Animation. Check out the trailer, then go buy the DVD or Blu-ray! (more… )

Since teasing the animated disc last year, DC Comics and Warner Premiere have been somewhat quiet about the upcoming Justice League Crisis on Two Earths. But as the February 23rd launch date approaches, the pair is turning on the hype machine and spreading the word on how awesome the film is. The original direct-to-video animated flick, based on the original Justice League: Worlds Collide / Fearful Symmetry, sees a heroic Lex Luthor from another dimension calling to our Justice League to defeat the villainous version from his world. This creates Superman versus UltraMan, Batman versus Owlman, and more. Check out some clips of the special in action (more… )

He-Man; super-strong good guy. Superman; super-strong good guy. We can all see the connection, so Mattel decided to capitalize on it and just partner the two up! Mattel is bringing their new action figure line of Masters of the Universe Classics to retail, paired up with DC Comics characters. The new figures, sculpted by Four Horsemen, have the look and feel of the original cartoon from the 1980s, but with modern style and craftsmanship. And, what’s more, they’ll be packaged in with 6″ DC Universe Classic action figures. The first 2-pack from this line will of course be Superman and He-Man, as the two stand toe-to-toe as they’ve done before, in DC Comics Presents #47. The toys were featured at Toy Fair 2010, and can now be seen here at ToonBarn! Check out the shots (more… )

Early next year, DC Comics plans to bring us Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. Originally, the direct-to-video animated film was an attempt to bridge the gap between the end of Justice League, and the start of Justice League Unlimited, both originally run on Cartoon Network. However, the project has since been converted to its own movie, and will serve as the seventh film in the DC Universe Original Animated Movies line released by Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Animation. The story line features an alternate universe, where there is a good Lex Luthor as a hero and a bad Superman in the Crime Syndicate. And, of course, once the two connect, its a non-stop action fight! Check out a sneak peek video of the DVD (more… )

The second season of Batman: The Brave and the Bold kicks off this weekend on Cartoon Network. It airs regularly on Friday nights at 7:30pm, then replays through out the week prior to the next new episode. This season, producers promise many more team ups and many more special guest appearances from heroes all over the DC Universe. Next week, on October 23rd, Neil Patrick Harris will be lending his voice to a new villain called the Music Meister, who has it in for Gotham City. Of course he does!

It’s been about 25 years since the intergalactic bounty hunter named Lobo was created in the DC Universe. He’s appeared as a side character in comics, moved up to his own title, dropped by the animated Superman series, and later the Justice League, and now, Warner Bros. is thinking about bringing the Main Man to the big screen. With all the success of comic-based films like Dark Knight and Iron Man, it was only time before the infamous anti-hero Lobo stepped to the plate. But, really, there’s not much more to report beyond the bare fact that its “in the works”. No actors, no script. It’s not even yet determined if it will be fully animated, or a split of live-action and CG animation. Either way, we’ll be looking forward to seeing the DC Comics star in his very own film. You with us?
