Warner Bros. recently disclosed the impending conclusion of Tomorrowverse, marking the end of a short-lived yet impactful animated movie series. Launched in 2020 with Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Tomorrowverse took over the narrative from the prior DC Animated Movie Universe canon.
Over the past four years, it introduced seven movies, including adaptations featuring iconic characters like Batman and Supergirl. However, the Tomorrowverse is set to culminate with the release of Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, a trilogy finale arriving in 2024. This three-part adaptation aims to intricately wrap up the storyline constructed across seven films, signaling the closure of Tomorrowverse's concise yet eventful journey.
The upcoming Justice League trilogy, starting with Part One in January 2024, is anticipated to be an extensive installment within the Tomorrowverse. While the previous DC Animated Movie Universe spanned 16 films over seven years, Tomorrowverse, despite its brevity, promises a comprehensive narrative in its limited timeline.
As Tomorrowverse concludes, attention turns to the future of DC animation. James Gunn and Peter Safran are steering DC media into a new phase with their DCU slate. Animated projects moving forward will largely align with Safran and Gunn's shared universe vision. Their inaugural animated series, Creature Commandos, starring notable voices like David Harbour and Viola Davis, is scheduled for a seven-episode run on Max in 2024.
For animated projects outside the DCU's continuum, the designation of «Elseworlds» stories awaits. However, the frequency of these standalone narratives might see a reduction compared to previous
