DC’s New Animated Shows

DC Studios confirmed three new animated series!

They’ll be developing a new anime titled Joker: Laugh Riot. “The show will take viewers alongside the Joker, as he launches a ruthless crusade through Gotham’s underworld to find Batman’s killer, who took away his greatest adversary —and, incidentally, his own kill. But as his violent quest for answers pushes him closer towards vigilante than villain, Joker is forced to confront the truth that without Batman, he doesn’t know who he is.”

They’re developing a series adaptation of the comic book Absolute Batman. Absolute Batman is a reimagining of Batman, where he is raised in abject poverty, as opposed to having endless wealth at his disposal.

And, C.H. Greenlblatt, best known for working on SpongeBob Squarepants and creating and writing the show Chowder, is developing a new Krypto the Superdog series. “The series follows Krypto as he tags along with a gang of misfit criminal wannabes who live down the block. They soon discover he’s a ball of destructive, lovable energy worse than any of them! As he accompanies them into misadventures and poorly laid plans, Krypto’s pure nature slowly ends up redeeming them, whether they want it or not.”

Sideshow will keep you updated about all of these shows.
