We’d previously written up the announcement that Gotham by Gaslight would be the next animated movie by Warner Bros. Animation, but DC Comics (via Heroic Hollywood) took the opportunity at Comic-Con this weekend to announce that Death of Superman, the 1992 series featuring the death of Superman at the hands of Doomsday and his subsequent return, will be adapted as two separate animated movies.
DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation will also release Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, the first Suicide Squad movie set within the DC animated universe.
Given the current (and nonsensical) divide between Marvel and DC movie fans, there must also be a similar divide between fans of the DCEU and Warner Bros. Animation, right?
Fans of the animated DC movies will note that Death of Superman is actually the second adaptation of that particular storyline, with 2007’s Superman: Doomsday tackling the same material in a much-shorter runtime.
