Warner Bros. has revealed the next DCU Animated Original Movie release,
Justice: League: Throne of Atlantis, a direct sequel to director Jay Oliva's
Justice League: War. The new film is based on Geoff Johns' 2013 New 52 comic arc of the same name and picks up where
War left off, with the Atlanteans responding to the actions of the surface world after Darkseid's attack on Earth. An exact street date has yet to be announced for
Throne of Atlantis, but a Blu-ray release is expected in late 2014/early 2015.
In Johns' comic crossover, Atlantis -- led by Aquaman's brother Ocean Master -- attacks the East Coast of the United States, flooding major cities including Metropolis, Gotham City and several others. The Justice League comes together to help Aquaman turn back the tide, but soon learn they're woefully overmatched by the Atlantean Army, and must find a way to save the world from total annihilation.The crossover was spread across "Justice League" 14-17 and "Aquaman" 14-16. A DC Comics
collected edition is available on Amazon.
An extended sneak peek of
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis is set to be included on the Blu-ray release of
Batman: Assault on Arkham, which streets on August 12th. Further details will be made available at the San Diego Comic-Con (July 24-27th). Most of
War's voice cast is expected to reprise their roles for
Throne of Atlantis.
