Super Pets and Super Sons as DC CGI films! Fun time to be alive .

Lex Clone vs Biological Offspring?

Lex Clone vs Biological Offspring?

Jon Kent son of Superman and Damian Wayne son of Batman .

 

[RoyalRubble]

Yeah, they should both be the biological sons of Batman & Superman (just not with each other ).

It's really interesting that we're going to see a CG movie from this animated line. I wonder if it will look something similar to Green Lantern: The Animated Series/Beware the Batman. Either way, I was hoping to see a Super Sons movie, either theatrical or direct to video. Hopefully it's a great time with the boys.

I'm curious how it will compare to League of Super Pets...

Sam Liu has a lot experience with CG having worked on Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Beware the Batman. I wonder if this DTV is the one Liu was alluding to on February 2 and September 12.

Also with this being a CG movie, it explains why 2022's slate has only 2 movies and not 3 or 4. It took up the budget of 2 or more movies maybe.

The movie is rated PG-13 "for violence and language".

So, about in-line for a typical DC DTV. I was actually wondering if they'd skew this younger considering the protagonists, but I guess not .

 

[RoyalRubble]

Yeah, I figured they might be going for a more "General Audiences" rating with this.

When finding out that the original story was published under the family friendly DC Kids/Zoom branding (though I haven't read it), I figured that this movie might've gone for something family friendly. With the PG-13 rating, that's not the case. Though one thing I have noticed with DC DVD movies from the 2010s onward is that the PG-13/R rated movies largely adapt pre-existing stories while the family friendly ones are either based on TV shows (like Teen Titans Go or DC Superhero Girls) or are part of a toyetic franchise like Batman Unlimited or the Lego movies. Maybe this is just to keep up that trend?

I wonder if it'll be in line with the Teen Titans DTV's.


EDIT 6/20:
BBFC has a new title and possible cast and plot for the movie.

BATMAN AND SUPERMAN: BATTLE OF THE SUPER SONS is an animated fantasy action film in which the sons of two superheroes must join forces to save the planet.

Directed by Matt Peters and starring Jack Dylan Grazer, Jack Griffo, and Laura Bailey.

 

[SweetShop209]

Matt Peters did say he's a big Superman fan, so it's no surprise he could direct a movie like this.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Interesting choices, if accurate. I presume Grazer might be Jon and Griffo, Damian.

I wonder if Laura Bailey is playing Lois again after Injustice...

 

[RoyalRubble]

Also, weird if they're really including Batman & Superman's names into the title. I get they would want some big names to attract viewers but you'd think the "Super Sons" would be enough.

I guess "Son of Batman Vs Son of Superman" would make people think this is a sequel or in continuity with the 2014 animated movie. Or a spin-off from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, for kids.

Probably for cataloging purposes for home entertainment and easier for marketing to use "Batman" and "Superman" so they don't chaff about if "Super Sons" will be recognizable or not.

I wonder if this is a UK-only title change? The original title might remain the same for the US release.

 

[Yojimbo]

Hmm, and in the section for ratings info -- strong implications the threat in the movie is Starro.
