Batman, Superman Graphic Novels Swoop To Motion Comics From WB

Graphic album BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE and graphic novel SUPERMAN: RED SON are being developed into short-form digital Motion Comics from Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution.

Warner Premiere's Motion Comics are a new way for comic fans to connect with their favorite characters and the stories they know and love through short-form digital content. The Motion Comics slate draws on a deep reservoir of source material to bring a new visually engaging experience to life through the use of subtle movements, voice-overs, sweeping music scores and stunning comic book artwork.

A new addition to the Warner Premiere Motion Comics slate, BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE is taken from three award-winning volumes of short stories starring the Caped Crusader. The Motion Comics will reflect the original and diverse visions of various artists and writers as they tell stories in the now-infamous world of Gotham City.

The BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE stories are told from the perspective of Batman and range in theme from the unsettling drama of solving a brutal murder to the light comedy of fighting bad guys with a broken nose. These short episodes also touch on elements of romance, mystery and even the supernatural. And like any exciting Batman story, classic villains such as The Joker, Harley Quinn and Two-Face make heralded appearances. It's Batman as seen through the prism of some of today's most eloquent graphic artists and writers.

Based on the Eisner Award-winning graphic novel written by Mark Milar and drawn by Dave Johnson, SUPERMAN: RED SON will take viewers back in time to the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union where Superman is fighting for the Communists. Raised in Russia, Superman grows to become the Soviet Union's greatest weapon as the world is transformed into a communist state opposed only by a crumbling capitalistic America and its President Lex Luthor. Now as Superman stands on the brink of ultimate power, three heroes, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern, each make a valiant stand to destroy the reign of the Man of Steel.

Release dates for BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE and SUPERMAN: RED SON will be announced in the coming months, as well as the next assortment of titles coming to the Warner Premiere Motion Comics slate.
