DC Comics Animation - General Animated Feature News & Discussion Thread, Part 11 (Spoilers)

Brian Lynch is also rumored to be the writer of this potential Jurassic League movie.

It's not really a title I would have expected them to try and adapt as a movie, but this could be fun.

A Jurassic League animated movie would be absolutely glorious .

From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:

"DC’s Next Heroes: The Jurassic League?"​

"There are whispers of a new animated superhero project at WB, the latest addition to James Gunn’s growing DC universe (the JGDCU). It’s becoming apparent that some of these projects will wander off the beaten path, and this latest one treks into some very uncharted territory.

Reports say Gunn is looking into producing a Jurassic League movie. The Jurassic League is a simple concept — it’s the Justice League, but as dinosaurs. In fact, everyone’s a dinosaur: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Condiment King, you name it. Gunn has allegedly brought on Brian Lynch, who wrote the scripts for The Secret Life Of Pets and the first Minions movie, to figure out what happens here."

Who here is up for an animated movie featuring Dinosaur Justice League?

Possibly relevant - Warner Bros. Discovery to expand anime production in Japan.

I hope this means the Suicide Squad Isekai director gets to do their Flash anime .

Based on the interview quotes on the previous page, it seems pretty clear the DC animated DTV line will be coming to an end finally at the conclusion of Crisis/when Gunn's DCU takes over, it seems almost predetermined. It was a good run but 18 years was a long time. Has there been any more news about Watchmen? I was sure it was announced for 2024 yet I have no clue when Crisis part 3 is even coming. It seems clear they did Watchmen just to get one more surefire classic and go out with a bang, but I'm already groaning at the thought that they'll of course split it into two parts.

They did pretty much get everything adapted though, there's not much left. My one regret is that they didn't do Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow, or just go for it and adapt Kingdom Come; that story is tailor made for this line and unlikely to ever get a live action version.

In my own opinion, the DC DTV movies will continue in some form even if not as part of a cohesive universe.

No, there was been no further news on Watchmen. They barely released any news about Crisis Part 2 and it's in 2 weeks. Marketing is very lean right now. Crisis Part 3 is rumored for July - based on Part 1 and 2's releases, July makes sense. Logically, we might hear more about Watchmen at SDCC.

Im completely fine with that. Nothing against shared universes, but these days, I miss stand alone movies.

If they even go to SDCC, after skipping NYCC and Wonder Con. They aren't even doing cast announcements/first looks/trailer reveals with the press this year.

True. They could always post on the DC blog like they do every year during SDCC time or some outlet like IGN.

I'm good either way as long as the movies are fun and enjoyable .

Has there been any hint over what comes after C3? One rebooted unified universe? I would be very amused if the YJ universe becomes the unified universe; I find it hard to believe there is a better version of of a unified reboot.

A universe where Wally West is dead is a net negative on that front .

We might know more by the end of the year since the only thing left on the docket is Watchmen. Assuming there is anything to come and it's not in Gunn's hands.

No, we have no hints so far what will happen to the DC Universe DTV line after Crisis. Presumably there might be some mention of the DTV line's future at Comic Con. But for the immediate future, we still have the Watchmen movie(s) from the DC Animated Movie DTV line to go for this year and Aztec Batman on Max to go.

It's nice not to have any leaks regarding the slate for a change too.

Based on Gunn's recent comments, it's seems revivals and continuity laden ''universes'' is not what he wants for Elseworlds projects. It'll be interesting to see just what WB/DC does with their DTV's.

Would it be the worst thing in the world if they went back to the pre-2007 model. Only doing DTV's as spinoffs from successful DC animated shows?

Feature length My Adventures with Superman? A Batman: Caped Crusader DTV? Harley Quinn DTV finale?

 

[RoyalRubble]

Maybe Creature Commandos will get 6 seasons and a movie.

For Harley Quinn there might be more specials like the Valentine's Day one, but not sure if they'll make an in-continuity movie with her. Hopefully a potential tie-in to My Adventures With Superman won't be the Brainiac Attacks for Superman TAS.

I get revivals and continuity laden "universes" are not what he wants for Elseworlds projects.
However Fans do to a certain point, namely Young Justice Season 5 and Teen Titans Season 6.
Gunn doesn't want to piggyback off of X-Men 97's success but he should to some degree in my opinion. I'm not saying he should be involved in any major capacity but just greenlight those projects. Give the suits a safety net, for a worse case scenario.

And there's Aztec Batman/Batman Azteca, but I don't think that's counted as a part of the line.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I like how Jeff Wamester is attached as director to Batman: Knightfall, Part 1 on IMDb. No doubt a fanboy fantasy, but it got me thinking that this is exactly what I would want to see moving forward with the DTV line. No continuities, no consistent voice actors... just great standalone adaptations of the iconic stories, with a few originals sprinkled throughout.

Also, Brandon Vietti has been pretty quiet the past two years. I wonder what he has been cooking at WB Animation? Watchmen two-parter?
