I just watched the new trailer for the upcoming DC Universe Online game coming to PCs and PS3s everywhere this November. All I can say is WOW.
I would seriously pay to sit in a darkened theater for two hours of something like this. Outside of Pixar’s The Incredibles why haven’t we seen a full CGI animated feature based on a comic book property?
If you haven’t checked out the DCUO trailer yet, do yourself a favor and check it out below. You may even want to get a Coke and some popcorn first!
That… Was… AWESOME!!!
If Warner Animation ever does Kingdom Come, CGI is the way to go.
umm … yeah … Wow!
I so want to see that as a full length feature on a big ol’ Imax screen
Oh. My. God. That was epic.
Have a good day.

I started the very same discussion on the DC Comics’ Movies forum. Clearly we’re on the same page. Stop by and check it out (if you haven’t already).

seeing that. makes me wish Warners would make the game to a movie for that shows how the dcu could look on screen. but warners has enough trouble trying to figure out how to put the dcu on the big screen in live action making a cgi dc movie given their record so far would be harder for them to do. and was also thinking that would be what kingdom come would look like animated.
Captain Marvel/Shazam should be CGI.
That was an awesome trailer!
I’ll tell you why, a massive bomb called Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within. That one sunk an entire animation studio. WB probably looked at that one and said, “Uh, no.” I’m not saying they’re right (although Batman: Mask of the Phantasm didn’t make much either), but there still is a stigma about adult watching “cartoons”. Maybe in another generation.
I agree with Shellhead, BUT … if they could find a way to integrate live action into it, a la Avatar, then DC would be creating something worthy of general audiences and would have a good investment. let’s face it, all of our action movies now are cgi animations intercut with live action. the challenge for the future, imo, is to integrate the animation with live actors like Cameron did. then the stigma is removed and the general public finds faces to identify with, not just video game faces with voice overs. WAKE UP DC!!! the possibilities are infinite.
