February 15, 2012: Exclusive Sneak Peek at "Superman vs. The Elite"

Manchester Black I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of "Justice League: Doom" on Blu-ray from Warner Home Video, and one of the bonus features on the disc is a sneak peek at the next DC Universe Animated Movie "Superman vs. The Elite".

Based on the "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way" story written by Joe Kelly as seen in "Action Comics #775" (March 2001), "Superman vs. The Elite" is scheduled to be released on DVD and Blu-ray some time before July 2012.

As part of my review of "Justice League: Doom", I discuss the bonus material included, and gave my thoughts on the sneak peek of "Superman vs. The Elite".

    I've got to say that "Superman vs. The Elite" is one animated film I'm really looking forward to. I loved the original comic book story it's based on, and this sneak peek featurette has only heightened my anticipation. The character designs are quite different than what we've seen in other recent DCU animated movies. The style is a little rougher, less refined, which looks like it'll match nicely with the kind of story being told.

    I've not yet heard who they've cast to voice Manchester Black, but whoever he is, he's perfect for the role. He kind of has that Liverpudlian accent with an air of arrogance and cheekiness blended in. George Newbern returns to voice Superman.

We also know, thanks to TVGuide.com that Pauley Perrette (NCIS) will be voicing the role of Lois Lane for this animated movie. She posted on Twitter, "How fun: I'm the new voice of Lois Lane for Superman animation & my fiance totally looks like Clark Kent & Superman :)".

I've been told that Warner Home Video will be releasing images and material from "Superman vs. The Elite" in the next week or so. Stay tuned for further details.
