First Image of Darkseid in 'Justice League: War'

Check out what the Dread Lord of Apokolips will look like in DC's next animated movie.

DC's next animated film, Justice League: War, is inspired by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's first JUSTICE LEAGUE storyline. If you've read it, then you know the tale revolves around the Justice League battling an invasion from Darkseid. We've had a look at other characters, but now we're getting a first look at the big bad. The cosmic villain will be voiced by Steve Blum, and publicist Gary Miereanu tweeted the first screenshot of the fiend.

Also appearing in the film will be Wonder Woman (Michelle Monaghan), Superman (Alan Tudyk), Batman (Jason O'Mara), Cyborg (Shemar Moore), The Flash (Christopher Gorham), Shazam (Sean Astin), and Green Lantern (Justin Kirk). Yes, Aquaman is absent, however, it's worth pointing out it has been stated Arthur will be the focus of an upcoming animated film. Perhaps 'Throne of Atlantis?'

Directed by Jay Oliva, Justice League: War is scheduled for release early 2014. And in case you missed it, Miereanu also previously provided a first look at Shazam, Wonder Woman, and Batman.

Why can't Wonder Woman have a new outfit like that one in the comics? I think that looks seriously awesome.

Hope it's good. The story in the comics, from what I remember, didn't seem like they'd be able to make a full feature length film out of it though.

Really upset that Aquaman is possibly getting the shaft. He's awesome in JL.

Wonder Woman's costume is interesting..different. I like it.

Shazam looks horrible, sorry everyone.

Darkseid, though not much was given, looks cool.

Also, whats with all the randomly different voice actors?

Flashpoint was great. This shouldn't be any different! The animation and action scenes were plentiful and fluid. Can't wait!

Like above, they do have a bit of an anime look too them not that I'm against that. I like the look of Bats and WW, but something about Batson I don't care for. I can't quite put my finger on it, oh well. I'm looking forward to this, it's the first I've heard of it.

And once again Aquaman is ignored.

Yes, he's part of another project but what stops you from using him twice?

Haven't seen that WW picture previously. Looking a bit too much like Flashpoint (ie - anime) for my tastes. Do not want.
