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… )

Now, tell me this; what kind of horrible super villain would you have to be to want to hurt these guys? I mean, look at them! They’re adorable!! They make you just want to pick them up and give them hugs and make sure these super heroes have super days. This plush team of hero collectibles was recently shown off at Toy Fair 2010 this year, in a group fashion of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the Flash, iconic figures from the Cartoon Network animated series Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. Packaged together as a “Justice League” (of love!) this collector set hopes to hit toy store shelves (and your heart!) later this year. …and… just one more time; “awwwwwwww!!!” (more… )

This bit of super news is hitting you faster than a speeding bullet! The CW has officially announced plans to take a number of Smallville plotlines and create a TV movie out of them. The storylines focus on the Justice Society, introducing characters like Hawkman, Stargirl, and Doctor Fate, as well as DC villain Amanda Waller. Those of you who were fans of Cartoon Network’s Justice League and Justice League Unlimited will no doubt recognize the names. Still no Batman, though. Yet. The two-hour Justice Society Smallville TV-Movie is set to air Friday, January 29th.

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… )

Are the days of Superman’s blue, red, and yellow gone in favor of …black and gray? Looks like it, at least according to these screens from upcoming episodes of the CW’s Smallville. Superman always looks best to us in his more traditional Justice League Unlimited suit, but Clark’s Matrix-like look for Smallville this season at least shows that he’ll be trying out some costumes, and getting closer to the animated DC Comics hero we all know and love! Tom Welling, the Dark Superman look, and the rest of season nine debuts on September 25. What’s your favorite Super-style?

If you and I utter the magic phrase “Shazam,” we get nothing out of it. But Billy Batson gets super strength, flight, and a cool little cape! Why? Because he’s DC Comics’ superhero Captain Marvel – no relation to the company recently paired with Disney. After a few appearances on Cartoon Network’s Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, the good Captain is now working his way to his own movie, according to Warner Bros. There’s no word yet on a cast, or even if the movie will be presented in animated form, but that’s certainly what we’re hoping for! …maybe some magic words will help…

Warner Bros. is current in the works on a film for another one of their superheroes, the Flash.  Everything is still in very early stages for the movie-version of the DC Comics and Justice League Unlimited star, but they’re hoping they can move the process along … quickly.
