Warner Premiere’s Superman/Shazam! The Return of Black Adam to DVD
On November 9th, 2010, Warner Home Video will distribute the DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection, a package that includes four animated adventures from the likes of Green Arrow, The Spectre, and Jonah Hex. Serving as the star feature in the collection is the fourth title: Superman/Shazam! The Return of Black Adam. Clark Kent’s latest interview subject is Billy Batson, a feisty kid with a lot of heart – and also one selected by an ancient wizard as the World’s Mightiest Mortal. By invoking the name of the wizard, “Shazam!” Billy’s powers erupt like lightning, turning him into the Superman-like Captain Marvel. Unfortunately, Black Adam is also in that league, out to destroy Marvel, Superman, and anyone else that gets in his way. Check out the voice cast and full press release (more… )

Warner Premiere to revisit the DC Comics classic Batman: Year One
DC Comics and Warner Premiere have partnered again and again on bringing the DC Universe to life through amazing animated DVDs and Blu-ray discs. We’ve been treated to stories about Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Justice League, to name a few, but it’s Batman and the top-ranking popularity of the Dark Knight that have earned the most nods, including the recent Batman: Under the Red Hood. Now, rumor has it the next Batman story will be perhaps the most famous and best comic of them all, Frank Miller’s 1987 classic, Batman: Year One, with the floated date of September 27th, 2011, and directors Sam Liu and Lauren Montgomery. This would have the title coincide with Christopher Nolan’s third film in the Batman franchise. Could this be true? Would you love it if it were? Can you tell that we really, really, really would?!!?

DC Showcase Jonah Hex featured on Batman: Under the Red Hood
He may be a few hundred years old by today’s calendar, but 2010 was definitely a big year for Jonah Hex.

Now, fans lucky enough to get their hands on Warner Premiere’s latest animated DVD, Batman: Under the Red Hood, will be treated to a special extra; DC Showcase Jonah Hex. While the motion comic brought comic book panels to life via Flash animation, the DC Showcase is a brand new, 10+ minute animated adventure starring the scarred cowboy. Written by Joe R. Lansdale, the animated feature stars the movie’s Thomas Jane as Jonah Hex, Linda Hamilton as Madame Lorraine, and Michael Rooker as Red Doc. Take a look at the feature in action (more… )

Warner Bros. brings Jonah Hex Motion Comics to iTunes
Warner Bros. recently brought Jonah Hex to the big screen – and while the film didn’t have the same critically acclaimed impact that Jonah Hex’s “little screen” TV appearances did for Cartoon Network’s Justice League, WB is hoping the third medium is a charm. Thus, the DC Comics character is making his way to a downloadable format, via the medium known as Motion Comics; taking existing comic book artwork, then animating them in a cartoon-like fashion. In total, three action packed Jonah Hex Motion Comics are available for download, bringing the books to life panel by panel via Warner Premiere’s digital push. Take a look at one of the clips in action, then head over to Apple’s iTunes for the full download! (more… )
