An all-new DC Showcase of animated shorts is coming from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment in 2021-2022. Shorts will feature DC characters Kamandi, The Losers, Blue Beetle, and Constantine; Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth!, directed by Matt Peters (Justice League Dark: Apokolips War) from a script written by Paul Giacoppo (Young Justice, Star Wars: Resistance), will be the first short released, attached as a bonus feature to Justice Society: World War II in Spring 2021.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC, and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, and inspired by characters and stories from throughout the iconic DC canon, the all-new quartet of shorts will be included on upcoming releases of DC Universe movies, with the exception of the lengthier Constantine short, which will serve as the anchor for a compilation set to be distributed in 2022.
