As just announced by Warner Bros. Animation at Annecy, DC Studios has greenlit three new animated series including Absolute Batman, showrun by the comic’s writer Scott Snyder and produced by artist Nick Dragotta.
There’s no network attached or further details at this time though WB did provide a logline for the Absolute Batman animated series:
Description: Absolute Batman boldly reinvents the Batman mythos for a new generation of fans, reimagining the Dark Knight as a working-class hero up against impossible odds (and the most terrifying foes ever), on a mission to prove that even in an era of wealth, power and corruption, one good person can change the world.
This actually marks the second animated series Snyder is showrunning, alongside an adaptation of his book Wytches with artist Jock over at Prime Video.
In addition to the animated adaptation of the blockbuster comic book series (and one wonders if Absolute Wonder Woman and Absolute Superman will be far behind), DC Studios announced two more greenlights:
Joker: Laugh Riot (Series Greenlight, Adult)
- Network: TBA
- Description: When Batman is murdered, the Joker launches a ruthless crusade through Gotham’s underworld to find the killer who took away his greatest adversary. But as his violent quest for answers pushes him closer towards vigilante than villain, Joker is forced to confront the truth that without Batman, he doesn’t know who he is.
- Executive Producer: Jim Krieg
- Director: Yasuhuro Aoki
- Studio: Warner Bros. Animation, DC Studios, SOLA Entertainment
Untitled Krypto Project (Series Development, Kids)
- Network: TBA
- Description: When he’s not hanging out with Superman or Supergirl, Krypto tags along with a gang of misfit criminal wannabes who live down the block, and they soon discover he’s a ball of destructive, lovable energy worse than any of them! As he follows them into misadventures and poorly laid plans, Krypto’s pure nature slowly ends up redeeming them, whether they want it or not.
- Executive Producer: C.H. Greenblatt
- Studio: Warner Bros. Animation, DC Studios
