Justice League Dark

[TurtleTitan97]

The next DC Animated film following The Killing Joke is apparently based on the Justice League Dark Comic: http://comicbook.com/2016/06/07/just...nimated-movie/

Following in the footsteps of DC Entertainment’s animated recreation of the iconic The Killing Joke storyline, the company is taking on one of their lesser known properties for their next endeavor.

While it hasn’t been officially announced, we now know that their next animated film will be Justice League Dark, via the British Board of Film Classification (bbfc) website. In their listing for Batman: The Killing Joke, the additional material section includes “A Sneak Peak at Justice League Dark”.

Justice League Dark was introduced as part of DC’s New 52 initiative and featured a roster comprised of John Constantine, Zatanna, Madame Xanadu, Deadman, Enchantress, and Shade the Changing Man. The team was meant to be a Justice League-like group that focused on Supernatural and Magical threats, but it wasn’t actually related to the league in any way. In fact, they really don’t want to be a team at all, but they end up grouping together for the greater good.

Writer Peter Milligan said at the time (via Newsarama): “It was the “dark” bit that really appealed to me. The idea of taking these characters and this kind of story into some dark places. That doesn’t always or necessarily mean supernatural black magic dark. It can mean emotionally dark. A messed up confused kind of dark. The basic screwed up human condition transplanted onto a superhero/supernatural comic.”

DC has been adept at translating some of these darker concepts into animated films, and I'm eager to see what they do with Justice League Dark, and what exact storyline they go with.

And here I thought this would be about Guillermo's proposed movie that will never happen.

I love Matt Ryan.

Check him out in "Flypaper", he's amazing.

These DC animated DVD movies have been going on for an entire decade back in 2006. "Superman Doomsday" was the very first one of these comic book movie adaptions they ever did.

At the time people were disappointed because people were too used to the DCAU Timmverse (Justice League Unlimited aired its final season in 2006), so its hard to believe these DC animated comic book movies are still going.

nice Constantine doesn't look too bad. I Still hope DC lets Matt Ryan voice him in this and in the JLA cartoon.

I'll be shocked and appalled if DC doesn't reprise Matt Ryan to voice Constantine.

It's an obvious choice.

I always found the name "Justice League Dark" to be lame. What's next, "Justice League Light Bright?"

[TurtleTitan97]

Literally no one cares.

Looked interesting enough for me to give it a watch when it comes out.
That is until I saw batman in the film.

No more batman please.

Doug Liman left the solo Gambit movie to direct this.

So he went from one project that isn't really happening to another project that isn't really happening?

[Autbot_Benz]

so we get an animated Justice League dark and now a live action JLD. I hope Matt Ryan gets to play him in the live action movie.

I think he's a great director, He's done The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Edge of Tomorrow.

It'll be interesting to see how he deals with the supernatural aspect of this team, and this would be his first Superhero movie.
