After Superman makes the ultimate sacrifice to save Metropolis by giving his life to defeat the foe, those who loved him the most mourn their fallen hero and friend. But a world without Superman proves to be short-lived when the Man of Steel mysteriously returns. Or does he?

In this origin epic, a virtual who's who of superheroes featuring not only Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but also Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and Flash, these very different heroes must overcome their fear and suspicion of one another to forge an alliance against a creature so formidable that it will take all of their powers combined to prevail!

Inspired by the best-selling graphic novel and produced by the multiple Emmy-winning animation legend Bruce Timm ("Batman: The Animated Series").

Writer: Stan Berkowitz

Yeah we all knew about this but this sounds very different from what we were told originally and not very interesting at all. It wasn't supposed to be related to Superman: TAS or the JL, but standalone stories and basically animated versions of the comics. "Inspired by" makes it sound like they just wasted the brilliant New Frontier on crap. Also, up until now I was led to believe Darwyn Cooke would be involved with the NF project. Since, after all, he DID create it. *sigh* Don't disappoint me DC and make your own version of the Ultimates. PLEASE.

Who cares, anything that gives us more JLU is fine with me.:thumbs:

 

[Skyknight]

Oh ****, not Capizzi, he's the Bruce Kalish of the DCAU.

Brainiac Attacks much?

 

[Ragna "D" BloodEdge]

Oh, no...wasn't one helping of that enough?
