I wonder will Grail or Barda appear

If this were a straight-up adaption of Darkseid War, I think that would be likely, but with it being more original I don't think we can say for sure what will be in it and what won't .

I think we are likely to see some New Genesis presence (Metron is obviously in it).

Rated R for bloody violence, language, and some sexual references.

Strange that FilmRatings.com shows Justice League Dark: Apokolips War as a 2019 release. I've contacted them about that.

EDIT: Received a reply: "In reference to the film below, the 2019 date is referring to the year the film was rated NOT the year of the film’s release."

Wow, I wasn't expecting this to be R. Wonder how explicit they'll get ?

"Sexual references?" Why do I foresee a lot of innuendo from Zatanna and Constantine? Maybe Deadman and Black Orchid too ?

Why? The first Dark was rated R.

I know, this just seemed like a more straightforward Justice League movie .

Yeah, not with Constantine in the mix.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Granted we don't know yet who will appear in the movie, but this could be the first time we see Darkseid, and other notable Apokolips inhabitants in an R-rated cartoon. I think only Knockout had this honor before, in Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay.

Get ready for The Furies to cut people up (and maybe make some sexually suggestive comments) .

I feel this movie should be a PG-13 film since it is a continuation from The Death And Return Of Superman and will have not Just Constantine and his group with the Justice League and the Titans as well. If you give it an R rating with intense gory violence that would be jading the audience who are not into the R rated films, That would say that after credits scene Superman was meaningless. When they do the Darkseid War I hope that his daughter Grail will be introduced and become a major threat in future animated movies. I love to hear actress Rachel Skarsten from Batwoman give life to the character in the animated shared universe

But how are they suppose to show are edgy, and more mature and adult they are?! (JK)

The only role reprisal is John DiMaggio as King Shark from Batman: Assault On Arkham.

Hopefully he doesn't suffer the same fate in that movie as he does in this one.

Lady Shiva? Harley Quinn? Damian? King Shark? Mmmm I am looking forward to this movie but I am outraged that the animated films still do not use Ray Palmer Atom.
I am also surprised that Hal Jordan Hawkman Martian Manhunter Aquaman and Donna Troy are not in the cast.

You mean speaking? Because the still in the article shows those 3 are in the movie. And as for Donna, she was in the past still that Jim Lee showed at a con. So they're at least appearing. They still might have minor speaking roles.

Hynden Walch voiced her in an episode of Teen Titans Go last year, and since she's listed in the voice cast, she could reprise the role here, even if it's not listed.

Wow, this is a pretty stacked cast! Also a lot of different groups from different movies all coming together for this film .

It's also nice to see they were able to get back all these VA's without a single recast (even if some of them started out as recasts to begin with). Yay for VA consistency .

It sounds like instead of being a JLD film we've got a great mix of characters headlined by reps of each of the main groups in Constantine, Superman, and Raven .

So we've got the League, the JLD, the Titans, the Suicide Squad, and...maybe the League of Assassins? Unless Shiva's been arrested and thrown into the Squad .

At least they managed to catch Harley after Hush .

I assume Ray Chase is just playing Etrigan now unless they find some way to bring Jason Blood back .

I'm glad they'll get to address Swamp Thing's current status after he was separated from Alec Holland in the last JLD movie .

Hal and John are both in this, though it seems like maybe only John gets lines...

I'm disappointed Zatanna isn't wearing her proper costume .

I'm curious what new Apokolips characters we might see...voice cast definitely doesn't spoil that .

Oh hey, Shazam is finally back! Are they going to explain where he's been all this time ?

 

[Yojimbo]

Gary indicated it's both roles. So unless it's a flashback, construct, etc. he's being resurrected. Maybe they go to Lady Shiva to ask to use a Lazarus Pit on Blood.
