WONDERCON: DC UNIVERSE HEROES HIT DVD
by Chris Evans, Contributing Writer
Posted: March 4, 2007 — More From This Author

DC's DVD projects panel at WonderCon may have been lightly attended, but it was full of news for fans in attendance. The panel was very laid back as DC Comics' Dan Didio introduced himself and his two guests to the audience—Bruce Timm & Gregory Noveck. Bruce Timm, known for his extensive work in adapting DC Comics properties into animated form ("Batman," "Superman," Justice League"), received the loudest reponse from the audience.

Before the fans could get started, Didio had his own questions to ask of his guests. When asked by Didio what characters he would like to bring over to animation, Tim responded with Phantom Stranger and Kamandi. Gregory Noveck responded to the question by saying that all characters are worthwhile for animation , it’s just a matter of focusing on the most iconic aspects of the character. As he put it, “even Brother Power could be great”

Bruce Timm agreed, but followed by saying that some characters can be tricky. The Flash was one example given out as there really isn’t one iconic character to the mythos as all the characters who’ve worn the mask are important to the fundamental legacy of the character.

Noveck delved further into the question by saying something similar about the Atom. He mentioned that Ray Palmer would originally be the only choice for the character in animation, but now the new Atom (Ryan Choi) is gaining popularity and thus another aspect of the character would have to be considered.

Some official information about the DVD release of "Superman: Doomsday" was then given out: the release date is set to be September 18, 2007. Warner Brothers will treat this release like any big movie release, they plan to pack the DVD full of extras and games. So there will plenty more to watch beyond the 72 minute time span of the film.

At this point, fans were able to ask their own questions to the panelists as one fan asked if any voice actors from "JLU" animated series will carry over to the movies. The answer was a firm ‘No,’ but they went further by revealing some of the new voices of the "Superman: Doomsday" movie. Adam Baldwin will be the voice of Superman, Ann Heche will provide the voice for Lois Lane, and James Marsters will voice Lex Luthor. Fans may remember that Marsters voiced Brainiac in "Smallville" quite recently.

Many fans asked about how the movie will deal with all the plot elements from the large, epic “The Death of Superman” storyline. Timm revealed that they all re-read the storyline and picked out all the important parts. Un-related sub plots like a young, red haired Lex or the proto matrix Supergirl will be dropped. It was still left unclear if things like the four replacement Supermen or the JLI will appear, but it seems doubtful.

After one fan’s question about the "Teen Titans" movie, adpating a classic tale of the teen heroes, it was pointed out that the "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract" movie is still very early on in pre-production. It’s still unclear what style of art they will use, but stated it will not look like the “Teen Titans" animated series.

The Titans movie was further elaborated on as one fan asked how close the portrayal of Terra will be to the comic. Although Timm & Co were still unclear how to deal with Terra and Slade’s ‘special’ relationship, they did say that there are no plans to show Terra smoking on screen.

Timm responded to a question about what characters and stories he’d like to do next for the DCU DVDs by saying that Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Jonah Hex are all on his short list of movies he wants made.

The panelists ended their discussion by saying they were seriously psyched for the "New Frontier" DVD that is to follow Superman: Doomsday. They think the voice actors for Batman and Robin are simply perfect, but it was just too early to reveal.

After the talking, the fans were given a real treat as they were shown some of the first batch of color footage to come out of Korea. Some interesting tid bits of information were given as the audio-less video played.

* A quick shot of Lex Luthor kissing Lois Lane
* Superman floating in a medical tube surrounded by fortress robots
* Blood was actually shown as Superman fought his way through the city against Doomsday
* Shots that seemed to show Superman fighting the army
* And of course some shots of Superman in his black costume

WONDERCON '07: DC UNIVERSE: SUPERHEROES GO DVD PANEL

Moderated by Dan Didio, the DC Universe: Super Heroes Go DVD panel opened Saturday evening at WonderCon with the introductions of the two other panelists who would be speaking with Didio: Bruce Timm and Gregory Noveck, Senior VP Creative Affiars of Warner Bros Animation.

The panel began with a short question and answer period with Didio, Timm and Noveck, which covered the various backgrounds of the panelists, as well as their respective jobs and how they became involved in the upcoming DC Comics direct to DVD films.

When asked about his approach to the DC characters in animation, Timm told Didio that the temptation is to say that WB animation “Marvelized” them, but that’s not quite true. Pointing out that Didio has done much the same in the comics, Timm said that he felt that the animated versions of the characters took them to a classic point, that, in some ways, was reminiscent of Marvel characters of the ‘60s and ‘70s. As he sees it now, Timm said, Marvel and DC are on a very even playing field in terms of their characters.

In describing the DVD projects, it was explained that the decision was made to make animated films that would appeal to an older demographic, not just the 6-10 year old age group that the original DC animated projects were aimed at – something that would appeal to teens and adults. “Basically, the same audience that buys DC Comics,” Tim said.

Didio pointed out that there’s an undeniable generational aspect of DC characters, and asked Timm and NOveck how they decided which versions of the characters to use in the projects.

Noveck admitted that many times, it comes down to personal opinions and tastest of the production team, but he does hear from fans all the time on which versions show be showing up.

Timm added that what they’re looking to do with the characters in the films is something like what they’d done in the animated television shows, that is, to distill the most iconic essence of each character into the movie format. Pointing out that with a potential Green Lantern project, the decision would be an easy one – they would use Hal Jordan, given that he was the classic version of the character for years, and has just returned to the forefront of the DC Universe. In the case of someone such as the Flash, Timm admitted, the decision would be a more difficult one, given the now four Flashes, which would open the possibilities of centering on one Flash, or showing all of them in one movie that spanned the generations. “Each character has their own specific challenges,” Timm said.

In terms of the connection between the WB Animation versions and DC Comics versions of the characters, Didio asked how much what the comics do in terms of relaunches and revamps influence their plans.

“A lot,” Noveck said, pointing to the new Atom character as an example, explaining that somewhere on their boards where they were considering a Ray Palmer Atom project or appearance, they’re not putting the new version of the character into the mix and taking the changes in recent months under consideration. Noveck added that the recent Green Lantern relaunch was very useful in capturing the essence of the character, as well as being able to provide artwork (from Ethan Van Sciver) that could be shown and discussed among the animators for possible use.

Hearing that the comics do influence the animated versions of the characters, Didio mused on the synergy between the two divisions of the larger company, noting that occasionally, they’ll take their cues from the animated versions. In this regard, Didio noted that Hawkgirl was brought into the forefront in the animated Justice League, which led DC to feature her more prominently as a character in the comics.

Sensing an opening, Didio asked, with all the back and forth between the versions, why Timm isn’t writing for DC. Timm said that they had the same conversation last year, and that as he said last year, he’s still too busy with his animated projects.

“Is there anything in particular you’d like to work on?” Didio asked.

“…We’ll talk,” Timm responded.

At this point, the panel showed the first of two clips from Superman: Doomsday - a segment from the supplemental material which will be included on the DVD that showed interview clips with Sander Schwartz (President of WB Animation), Director Brandon Vietti, Timm, writer Duane Capezzi and others.

In the clips, the individuals spoke about the difficulties and challenges of adapting the story into a film, with Timm noting that at its heart, it’s an action-packed violent story, which featured Superman being basically beaten to death.

After the clip, Timm said that with the DVD release coming on September 18th, Warner Bros Home Video will be treating it as they would a theatrical release that is debuting on DVD, noting that there will be loads of supplemental material included.

Anticipating the question, Timm said that no, the film will not be in continuity with the earlier Superman animated series or Justice League series. The following films: New Frontier and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract will be similarly disconnected from any and all previous animated versions of the characters, with each film designed to be a standalone project set in its own pocket universe. That change, Timm said, allowed them to be able to rethink the characters, as well as recast the voice actors.

Timm quickly added that the new voice casts in now suggest any dissatisfaction with the voice casts in any previous shows, but rather, Warner Bros was looking to do everything possible to set these films as their own entities and stories.

Playing devil’s advocate, Didio said that DC and Superman fans know how the story of the Superman/Doomsday fight ended, that is, with Superman’s death. “Does the film version end with Superman’s death?” he asked.

As an answer, Noveck said that the film honors the tone of the original material, but due to the size of the original story, which involved Superman’s death, the world without a Superman, and the return of the hero, it would have been impossible to include all aspects of the original. As a result, Noveck continued, Timm and Capezzi have added new elements and character elements to make it work as a 72-minute movie. The same approach will be taken on the other upcoming films as well.

Timm later noted that, in the original version, there were several existing subplots, including the red-haired Lex Luthor, the protoplasmic Supergirl, and others that were woven through the story and continued both before and after the Death of Superman. Those elements had to be removed, in order to make the movie a discreet story. DC, Timm added, is much more involved in terms of the storycrafting with this movie than they were for any animated series.

Considering the differences between the upcoming film and his work on half-hour animated series, Didio asked Timm to explain how the film will be different from a very large episode, to which Timm responded that the production team worked very hard to make the story feel like a PG-13 movie, adding in elements that would never have been permitted in animated series. “It’s nice to have that kind of freedom and at same time have responsibility of not gong overboard with it,” Timm said.

Going back to playing devil’s advocate, Didio asked why, of all the Superman stories open to them, why they chose this one, which focuses on the hero’s defeat and death.

As Noveck explained, that was the idea – to show this powerful and strong hero the challenge of his life, and see how he overcomes it.

“He’s going to be challenged right into the ground,” Timm added.

In response to Didio’s question of whether he volunteered or was recruited for the project, Timm admitted that he hadn’t necessarily been looking to tell any more Superman stories, but te idea of telling a new story with a new look and new cast aimed at an older demographic was too much of a temptation for him to pass up. After the first film, Timm said, he’ll be moving into more of an executive producer/advisory capacity on the other projects. Timm also added that he hopes the initial films will be so successful that they can expand the scope of possible projects beyond the obvious A-list heroes, and touch upon some of his favorites, such as Kamadi, Jonah Hex, and the New Gods.

The panel then opened up to a Q&A session. Highlights included:

Will the characters in the coming Teen Titans: The Judas Contract be more like the George Perez versions than the animated versions?

Timm: The script for that film is still being worked on, and they’re hoping it will be the third or fourth movie, but it won’t look like the cartoon versions of the Titans.

Noveck: The hope with all the films is that they will stick close to the spirit of the comic material, for example, the upcoming New Frontier film will look very close to Darwyn Cooke’s versions of the characters, something helped along by the fact that Cooke is storyboarding the film.

Will the four replacement Supermen appear in the film, specifically, Steel?

Noveck: One can always hope.

With The Judas Contract, how directly will the Deathstroke/Terra relationship be adapted?

Timm: We don’t know quite what we’re going to be able to get away with, but it will be part of the storyline. One of the larger challenges is that that element was done in the cartoon, so the trick will be to stick closer to the comic version of the story, and in that version, part of the story was that nasty subplot between Deathstroke and Terra. Although, she probably won’t be smoking in the film version.

If these films are successful, could audiences possibly see the Justice League: Worlds Collide project?

Timm: That may happen anyway, and if it does it won’t be under the same banner as these films. There will still be other DC animated projects coming out, in addition to these films. We’re talking about doing a second Teen Titans movie, Worlds Collide, and possibly more. We’re still figuring it all out.

Will we ever hear Kevin Conroy as Batman again?

Timm – You may. Initially, with these first couple, we’re going in different route, but I can see a time when Kevin might be appropriate for Batman.

Will we see new DC animated series?

Timm – Maybe someday. Right now, we’re too busy with the movies, but maybe someday.

Why not release these films theatrically?

Noveck: The direct to DVD releases is not to say that these films won’t go up on screen some day, but the original intent was to make the projects direct to video, make them for a specific audience, and pull these specific stories.

Will Lois and Clark be engaged in this one as they were in the comic version?

Timm – They’re…involved, and that’s as much as I’ll say. They’re definitely an item.

What characters would you like to approach some day in this format?

Timm – I really like characters like The Question, and Jonah Hex. I would love to do an animated Weird Western story; but realistically, don’t think there’s a big enough audience for it…yet. Also - New Gods – would like to get in there do wall to wall Kirby spectacular. Also, Kamandi, and Challengers of the Unknown.

Who is on the short list of characters for future films?

Timm: Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Catwoman.

Is there a fourth DVD currently planned after The Judas Contract?

Noveck: There are several candidates right now.

Timm: There are at least six projects we’re looking at.

The panel ended with a one minute clip of finished animation what was cut together by Timm earlier in the week. The brief sample showed many of the storyline’s iconic moments, such as Superman’s cape fluttering in the wind; Superman in his black Kryptonian battlesuit, the Superman memorial, as well as new elements, such as Luthor wielding a gauntlet with Kryptonite crystals on the knuckles. The clip ended with a medium shot of the ground in front of the Superman memorial for one beat, and then, Superman’s fist bursts through the ground.

Needless to say, the crowd erupted into applause afterwards.

 

[Crazymaverick]

Notice that no one actually denied the presence of the four pseudo-Supermen.

Very interesting.

Or it could be nothing at all, cos it would just make it easier to get a 72 minute film by totally cutting out the fake Supermen.

 

[Katsuro]

Timm added that what they’re looking to do with the characters in the films is something like what they’d done in the animated television shows, that is, to distill the most iconic essence of each character into the movie format. Pointing out that with a potential Green Lantern project, the decision would be an easy one – they would use Hal Jordan, given that he was the classic version of the character for years, and has just returned to the forefront of the DC Universe.

 

[Joker]

you know, now all James Marsters has to do is play General Zod in something, and as far as I'm concerned, he'll have played all 3 of Supermans biggest foes...he's already Lexiac

 

[JTStarkiller]

I had no idea things were this far along. I'm so used to a project being announced and waiting 3 years for it.

I'm simply ecstatic for this one. Haven't read the Death of Superman in over 10 years. I think I'm gonna have to go through it again.

 

[CLARKY]

I may be close-minded but I think it is a mistake to make the great DC stories in an animated form IF they don't take the same actors (than in JL, S:TAS, and B:tas) to play the parts.
I'm regretfull against the cast of Superman : Doomsday.
They should have keep the excellent Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor, Dana Delany as Lois Lane and Tim Daly or Georges Newbern as Superman. That was the chance to build something big! Enormous !! Superman : brainiac attack was weak but I think it would have worth it if Clancy Brown would have been Lex Luthor, for example.And Corey Burton as Brainiac!
My 2 cents. It's just that I will watch these films but I'm not sure to buy them. I think they are missing a big big opportunity.
To see the DC comics world in an animated form was my dream, still is , but with the same actors.

 

[SolidRoar]

You guys should check out the toy line that they revealed few weeks back. You could see the designs of Superman, black-suit Superman (long hair), Lex Luthor, Doomsday, and a robot that had a Superman logo. They had the same Bruce Timm design style, but the characters looked different.

On IGN they mention that Timm and Noveck hinted at a Green Lantern/Green Arrow storyline written by Denny O'Neill as being in the works. Hush by Jeph Loeb was also suggested. The trailer footage showed Superman coughing blood in one scene. Man, I can't wait for the other projects to be announced and I haven't even seen any image of the first one!

 

[StorminNorman]

Green Lantern/Green Arrow? Count me in.

 

[Artistsean]

I am fine with the new voices, even Anne Hatch as Lois, but Clancy Brown had such a cool Lex Luther voice.

but I can see why they did it. It seperates itself from the continuity of the Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond, JLA, animated world.

this way the designs, the voices, the storyline, are all different. It would be hard to take if the style was the same but the voices were different or the opposite.
It also means that Superman didn't leave the JLU and get killed by Doomsday (who had already been shown on the JLU as a Superman clone.)

I can't wait to see it, and to see New Frontier, and to see all the others.

(at comic con I asked Bruce Timm if the studio needed any interns and he said "No.")

 

[Captain Kirk]

I am so ready to see this movie. I bet it blows Superman Returns outta the water! Does anyone know if the footage will be online soon?

 

[Johnichi Chiba]

I wonder how the animation style of the film is going to be.

 

[LostSon88]

Will Superman's hair be long? Or was that just a "90s thing"?

 

[cerealkiller182]

It would be cool if he animated Goyer's Flash? At least we'd get it in some from. It seems that if Timm does a Flash movie it will deal with the legacy part of the Flash mantle, much like Goyers did

 

[dnno1]

It would be cool if he animated Goyer's Flash? At least we'd get it in some from. It seems that if Timm does a Flash movie it will deal with the legacy part of the Flash mantle, much like Goyers did

How do you know if Goyer's Flash was any good? The suits at WB didn't seem to like it, now did they?

 

[dpm07]

I'm looking forward to this. After being severely disappointed with Bryan Singer's "Singerman" interpretation of Superman with Superman Returns, this is going to be a real treat.

Bruce Timm has never disappointed me yet with the DCAU, and I'm confident he will do this animated film justice as well.

 

[Artistsean]

I heard that the animation style, of all the direct to DVD DC movies, is going to be in the style similar to the comic it is based on.
So New Frontier is similar to Darwyn Cook's style and this Death of Superman is going to be similar to that comic style.

As for his long hair and black suit, I thought this book was about his death. I hadn't heard about his return in the movie. Is he suppossed to return too?

Because that might make the movie more accessable to kids. (instead of ending it with Superman dead.)

 

[dpm07]

I really don't care how accessible it is to little kids. I'm looking forward to it because it's going to be the first PG-13 animated feature, which means it will likely have more adult themes and there's more leeway for showing more visceral action. One of the things that has me interested is the fact that it's PG-13. That's one of the things I always liked about the DCAU. They really made the product more adult-themed. I used to show episodes of STAS/JL/JLU at university courses I taught because the points could be illustrated solidly, and the students could watch a good adult themed story.

 

[SuperFerret]

The suits at WB didn't seem to like it, now did they?

When has suits liking something been a sign of quality?

 

[Captain Kirk]

I really don't care how accessible it is to little kids. I'm looking forward to it because it's going to be the first PG-13 animated feature, which means it will likely have more adult themes and there's more leeway for showing more visceral action.

Sign me up for your class please! I agree this will be badass! Heres hoping we will see a Whatever happened to the man of Tommorrow movie as well!
