Based on the DC Comics series/graphic novel Superman/Batman: Supergirl by Jeph Loeb, Michael Turner & Peter Steigerwald, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse is produced by animation legend Bruce Timm and directed by Lauren Montgomery (Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths) from a script by Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Tab Murphy (Gorillas in the Mist).

In Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, a spaceship splashes down in Gotham City Harbor -- leading Batman and Superman to encounter a mysterious Kryptonian with powers as great as those of the Man of Steel. The Kryptonian is soon revealed to be Kara, cousin of Superman, who takes her under his wing to educate her about the ways of Earth. However, the villainous Darkseid has other plans. Seeing an opportunity to finally defeat Superman, Darkseid abducts and gains control of Kara, utilizing the powerful Kryptonian to do his bidding. It’s up to Batman and Superman to save Kara, but they’ll have to take the fight to Darkseid within his hostile world – where unknown, deadly threats lurk around every corner, including a brainwashed Kryptonian able to match Superman blow-for-blow.

Fan favorites Tim Daly (Private Practice) and Kevin Conroy (China Beach) return to their seminal roles as Superman and Batman, respectively. The celebrity-laden guest cast is headed by Andre Braugher (Men of a Certain Age) as the daunting Darkseid. Sci-Fi heroine Summer Glau (Serenity/Firefly, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) provides the voice of Supergirl, and seven-time Emmy Award winner Ed Asner (Up) reprises his Superman: The Animated Series/Justice League role as Granny Goodness.

Produced by Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse will be distributed by Warner Home Video on September 28, 2010.

Can't wait!!!

What they need to do is a real hardcore, kickbutt animated New Gods movie!

I just can't believe this hasn't been done yet, those characters are just screaming for the full animated movie treatment!

I'm iffy on Batman's belt. But that's just a minor nitpick.

 

[Nathan]

You mean in the screen up there? Aren't those just supposed to be weights for diving?

That's just Batman's wetsuit and not his usual normal costume.

Yup, here he is in his normal costume:

New BADASS Cover!

 

[Drz]

So badass you couldn't even properly put it on IMG tag.

 

[GhostPoet]

ahh I see. I didn't see the water behind Batman, kinda dark. That's better!

[blksuperman2]

I'm not feeling that cover art at all.

 

[DCUmoviepage]

Freaking awesome the new cover art!

 

[Sawyer]

I'm not feeling that cover art at all.

Me either.

 

[misjuevos]

im just wondering if there will be any internal monologues. not long winded, just something to give you the sense that batman and superman respect each other. that is what was missing from public enemies, also the story was changed a bit. this so far seems panel for panel.

 

[Justkidding]

Is this going to be 60 mins long like the first?

 

[jondoe]

Is this going to be 60 mins long like the first?

From the online trade ad, it clearly says 75mins, from below...

[Hush]

That new cover is just ****ing Ugly. Why don't they just get comic artists to make the covers? I mean you have some of the best artists in the industry just doing comic covers, put them on DVD covers and I bet they look awesome.

 

[Sawyer]

The new cover is a foreign cover, so I dont think we have to worry.

NEW Photos on the official site! XD http://warnervideo.com/supermanbatmanapocalypse/

NEW Photos on the official site! XD http://warnervideo.com/supermanbatmanapocalypse/

here the new pics:

 

[Nathan]

The lips on the men bother me. Don't know how to explain it, but it's just really distracting.

 

[Karelia]

The lips on the men bother me. Don't know how to explain it, but it's just really distracting.

I kinda get what you mean. When I first saw one of the Batman pictures, I thought "his lips look kinda funky..."

 

[KBX]

Some reason James Woods being drawn as Batman came to my mind once I saw that pic...

 

[04nbod]

I've got to the point whereI don't care if they promote Kara, Diana or Barda as long as they don't get less screentime than the comic suggests they deserve (a lot)
