DC FanDome may be done, but there’s still news from DC! Early in the day, IGN’s virtual panel for Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Warner Bros.Animation revealed its diversity of DC’s animated features by 2021.
Batman: Soul of the Dragon, announced in the past, will be the first DC animated film of 2021. However, the next film will be Justice Society: World War II. In the DC universe, the Justice Society of America was the first superhero team. The JSA consisted of golden age heroes such as the original incarnations of Green Lantern, The Flash, Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Doctor Fate, The Sandman, Wildcat, Hourman, Starman, etc.
After Justice Society: World War II, Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale’s favorite maxi-series Batman: The Long Halloween, they’ll get a two-part animated adaptation. In this tale, a murderer only attacks the holidays; this led Batman, James Gordon and Harvey Dent to paint in combination to solve the mystery of Holiday’s identity. This story also featured Batman villains, adding Joker, Riddler, Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, etc.
Batman: The Long Halloween, Parts 1 and 2 will be released a few months aside by 2021.
