Thursday ’s DC Animated Universe panel at San Diego Comic - Con was a evenhandedly subdued social occasion . But apparently DC and Warner Bros. saved all their large surprises for last night ’s premiere of Batman and Harley Quinn — because now we acknowledge that not one , not two , not three , but four more major DC animated picture are on the way .
After being rumour a few weeks ago , the first movie confirm for 2018 is an adaptation of prim Batman thriller Gotham by Gaslight , the classic Brian Augustyn / Mike Mignola story many feel kicked off DC ’s “ Elseworlds ” line of alternate world tales . The movie will expand the story of the original comic , further fleshing out 19th - 100 Gotham as Batman go on the hunting for Jack the Ripper .
But the most startling declaration of all is one of the biggest projects the DC Animated Universe has ever tackled : a amply - fledge , two - part moving-picture show adaptation of one of the most iconic DC comics stories ever told : Death and Return of Superman . Fans who ’ve been following along with the liven moving-picture show will know that the narrative has actually already been turned into a movie in 2007 ’s Superman : Doomsday , the very first movie in DCAU continuity . However , much of the classic story was trim out of the motion-picture show to bosom it all into a exclusive movie ’s runtime .
The raw adaptation will avoid that by give the tale two film : decease of Superman in 2018 , which compensate Doomsday ’s fatal battle with Superman , and then Reign of the Supermen in early 2019 , which covers the stories of the four different Supermen that emerge to fill up the hole left by Superman ’s demise . Also , pillager : It ’ll cover Superman ’s return from beyond the grave , if you had n’t already hazard by the name Death and Return of Superman . He has a mullet , it ’s fabulously ‘ 90s , and it well be in the flick .
Although it ’s a little funny for the DCAU to be render to cloth it ’s already covered in retiring movies , it ’s skillful to see that at least time they ’re run to set about to do the rootage stuff justness .
