Roundup: DC Comics Springtime Products

It's less than one month until the highly anticipated Man of Steel flies into a theater near you! If you're like me and you can't wait, maybe these recently released DC properties will hold you over.

Superman Unbound is the latest film from DC Animated. It's based upon Geoff Johns' 2008 storyarc "Superman Brainiac." Together, Supergirl and Superman must defeat the evil Brainiac, save Earth, and uncover secrets about their homeworld, Krypton. From the first minute to the last, Superman Unbound is action packed and the animation looks great!

For the kids, you might want to check out the all-new Lego Batman: The Movie - DC Superheroes Unite!  Lego-fied versions of Batman, Robin, Superman, Cyborg, the Flash, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern team up to prevent Lex Luthor and the Joker from destroying the Lego world!Based on the best-selling Lego Batman 2 - DC Superheroes Unite video game, this movie mixes action, humor, and the magic of Legos into a fun ride for the whole family.

For those of you with summer reading lists, you might want to add a few of these DC titles.

Cool off this summer with Aquaman Vol. 2: The Others! This perfect beach book continues Aquaman and Mera's adventures from the New 52 as they battle Black Manta and other deadly foes.

Also, check out both Batman Beyond: 10,000 Clowns and Justice League Beyond: Konstriction. Set in the futuristic Beyond universe both of these titles bring back the action and characters from the Batman Beyond animated series.

Breaking: Bruce Timm Leaving DC Animation

 

Word is quickly spreading that the man who built the castle that is DC Animation (or at least gave it the integrity it currently has) is stepping down.  

Bruce Timm, creator of Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited to name two of his many accomplishments, is exiting his role as a producer at DC Animation to concentrate on his own projects.

This is bad news for DC and Warners if you ask me as the companies are having a hell of a time getting any features that don't include Batman off the ground.  Their successes in the animation field have been unparallelled, thanks mostly in part to the guiding force of Bruce Timm.

I'm curious to see what happens next for DC Animation.  Timm has left some awfully large shoes to fill.
