"Justice Society: World War II" Animated Feature Pre-Release News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[RoyalRubble]

04/15:
More interviews with Stana Katic and with Omid Abtahi. (But I think they cover some of the same stuff as before)

04/16:
Another interview with Elysia Rotaru.

 

[Mostezli]

Do any of the interviews mention what the precise source material is? Figured I would take a look since I tried to do so for all the other entries. Or is this a wholly original project with some nods to what has been depicted with the JSA throughout their earlier runs?

I think it's adapting the spirit of the Golden Age comics, particularly with the JSA.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Yes, this doesn't seem to be based on any particular story from the comics. The initial announcement also called it an original movie, I think. It's basically a World War II story with some DC Comics heroes and time-travel themes thrown into it. Elements from the comics are probably going to be in this, but it's not a direct adaptation of anything from what I can tell.

All we're missing is a Sgt. Rock cameo .

 

[Otaku-sempai]

All we're missing is a Sgt. Rock cameo .

And maybe the Haunted Tank.

 

[Frontier]

And maybe the Haunted Tank.

Or Enemy Ace for good measure .

 

[Yojimbo]

I have a feeling one of my critique's will be "Where's the War Wheels?" if they're not in the movie.

 

[RoyalRubble]

I still think the least they could have done was pair the Losers DC Showcase with this movie.

At the risk of sounding like I'm patronizing others, it would be funny if some think the movie is supposed to be a remake of Justice League's "The Savage Time".

EDIT:
Another interview with Armen Taylor.

 

[Otaku-sempai]

Or Enemy Ace for good measure .

Wasn't Enemy Ace (mostly) from the First World War?

 

[Yojimbo]

Wasn't Enemy Ace (mostly) from the First World War?

Yes, but he also served in World War II.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Here's another interview with Chris Diamantopoulos.

 

[Otaku-sempai]

Here's a question: Did Barry just time-travel into the past? Or might he have also crossed the dimensional barrier between Earth-1 and Earth-2? That might solve the potential time-travel paradox he would otherwise be facing.

I would assume it's normal time travel given we'll likely see the repercussions of his actions in the past on his present-day.

 

[Otaku-sempai]

Perhaps, but do we actually know that?

 

[Frontier]

Perhaps, but do we actually know that?

No, but seems like a reasonable assumption .

 

[Fone Bone]

Perhaps, but do we actually know that?

Falls under "We'll find out soon enough."

 

[Yojimbo]

Plus, Butch Lukic isn't the kind of guy that wouldn't want to over-complicate things. They already got WW II, the JSA, Aquaman, and Flash time traveling by mistake.

 

[Mostezli]

I thought the dead giveaway was in one of the clips.
Barry Allen said he's "never seen this many heroes working together."
Unless he developed amnesia from jumping dimensions, his future/earth doesn't even have an established Justice [insert team designation].
