DC News! Superman Versus The Elite

With Justice League: Doom finally released, it's now time to turn over for DC's next animated project.
Which will be Superman Versus The Elite...


Here's the official pitch:
The Elite, a team of super-powered antiheroes, is renowned for killing their enemies. Despite the acclaim and approval the Elite enjoy, Superman knows they are in the wrong, creating more harm than good by their methods. Tensions between them finally culminate in a mass showdown on Jupiter’s moons, when Superman is forced to prove that violence is never a positive.Superman vs. The Elite, the latest in the series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies from Warner Bros. Animation, will be available on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand and for Download.
It's announced for a Summer release date. (no clue regarding the month?!)


It seems this new direct-to-video movie will be based on Joe Kelly's run in Action Comics (more specifically, issue #775) which featured new villains Elite and Manchester Black.
Sounds like an original pick for a movie feature!
It will be a bit darker than your usual Superman cartoons for sure.

Superman Versus The Elite will have George Newbern as Superman and Pauley Perrette as Lois Lane.
And the film is directed by Michael Chang (Batman: Brave and the Bold,..) with Bruce Timm as executive producer and Alan Burnett (Green Lantern: Emerald Knights) as producer.

Check out some pics:




No trailer yet.

BTW, World's Finest got a pretty cool interview with Nathan Fillion regarding his two times voicing Hal Jordan. So, check it out!

And DC Nation started, alongside new episodes of Young justice and Green Lantern (the CGi animated cartoon).
Warner Bros Animation making random new cartoon shorts and other segments around DC Comics characters!
What d'you guys think of it so far - for those who've seen it.
Me?
I like it, I like the idea.
The segment about Green Arrow's boxing arrow was random but funny (and waaaay too short). So far my favorite's been Plastic Man's episode!
