RUMOR: Superman: Red Son Animated Film Being Planned By Warner Bros.

It appears that Warner Bros. is reportedly preparing to make an animated film based on Superman: Red Son.

Revenge of the Fans reports that a cast list has been revealed for the upcoming film, although no one has been tied to a specific role. Animated DC veterans like Amy Acker, Jason Issacs, Phil LaMar, Tara Strong and Diedrich Bader make up the majority of the supposed cast.

The original DC animated films by Warner Bros. have proven increasingly willing to explore stories from outside the main canon of DC characters and settings. The studio released the Elseworlds-inspired Batman: Gotham by Gaslight last year, and while rumors have circulated that Superman: Red Son would be a live-action film, it appears that may not be the case.

Red Son centers around a version of Superman who didn't land in the United States but instead grew up during the Cold War in Russia. The world re-imagines many major DC mainstays, including a Russian anarchist Batman, a publicly adored Lex Luthor and a Green Lantern Corp fully under the command of the United States Air Force.

Earlier this month, RotF reported that Warner Bros. is also producing an animated film based on Batman: The Long Halloween. However, no release date for The Long Halloween or Red Son has been hinted at.

The next DC original animated film to be released will be Reign of the Superman, which arrives digitally on Jan. 15.

I'm so disillusioned by WB animation in diluting original source material, that (unless I hear something turns out fantastic like "Dark Knight Returns part 2"), I probably will pass. I still think that motion comics would have been the better way to go on a number of adaptations.

I Prefer animation to motion comics. Some are good but to me it’s just like what’s the point? Like riding the fence. Motion comics do let you keep the art style which animation usually can’t for budgetary reasons. Most of wbs recent output is lacking. It’s part budget it’s part the team being burned out. Timm isn’t what he used to be. Gotham by gaslight deserved to be so much better than it was. Even beyond animation it just didn’t live up to a lot of people’s hopes as far as quality.

If it was great animation, then I prefer that, too--- (New Frontier I think is one of the best), but the majority of times I find the design and animation so much less than the original pagse that I find myself leaning towards the motion comics more heavily.

I wish the animated features didn't burn me out so much from the meh content (most of the time under-delivering on a great storyline) and animation...

[Metallo]

Eh.

Agreed.
I used to be excited about a number of these adaptations, but so many end up as 'meh', that I find myself NOT returning to many of them.

Having said that, give me a full-out Legion of Superheroes animated feature and I'm there.
