First 'Superman: Unbound' Trailer Arrives

Get an extended look at DC's next animated film!

Marvel might have the edge when it comes to feature films, but DC is destroying when it comes to animated releases. The beyond epic The Dark Knight Returns: Part 2 just came out and now we're already getting a glimpse at the next animated feature!

Based on Geoff Johns' Brainiac story in ACTION COMICS #866-870, the story focuses on Superman (Matt Bomer) attempting to defend Earth from the classic villain (John Noble). As you can see in the trailer, it'll also include Supergirl (Molly C. Quinn), Lois Lane (Stana Katic) and the Kandor, the capital of Krypton.

No exact date has been released yet but the film is slated to come out on blu-ray/DVD and digital download this year. Viners, does this look like a must buy for you?

I cannot wait for this. Brainiac was the story arc that first got me into Superman :D

This looks like it could be really good and I'm sure I'll enjoy it, I'm just a little tired of every DC animated film revolving around either Superman, Batman, or both. Okay I know there are a few that don't just feature Superman and Batman i.e. the Justice League animated movies (Doom, Crisis on Two Earths, and New Frontier) and the ones that don't have Superman and Batman in them at all like Wonder Woman and the two Green Lantern movies but that's exactly my point, why can't we get more animated features like those from DC featuring characters who haven't had a chance to star in their own solo work like Flash or Aquaman... (I would also say Green Arrow but the Arrow T.V series is handling that quite nicely). Or how bout more movies based on major crossover events like Infinite Crisis, Blackest Night, or Flashpoint. Or ones that take place in another reality Kingdom Come! I'm just saying there's all kinds of material they can use from all over the DCU why do they keep going back to just Superman and Batman!?

I'll have to read the story first, then we'll see. Also, a Superman animated film without Tim Daly does not win me over.

It's one of my favorite Superman stories. Give it a read.

With the technology and artists they have now I don't understand why they don't make everything a little more detailed.

Anyone else notice they love the "punch the camera!" shot?  They used it three times in the trailer.

Looks like it will be pretty awesome! Anyone else think that Throne of Atlantis would make an awesome animated flick? Its been great so far and unless the final chapter screws it up miserably it could be real cool. They could also do the Justice League New 52 Origin. I know some people didnt like it all that much but it was pretty much made to be a movie in my opinion.

So what are our chances of a non-batman or superman movie from DC animation these days?

They need to spread the love around to other DC characters. I love Supes and all but give some other characters the spotlight. I would love to see a movie featuring the other members of the Justice League. Wonder Woman only has one movie to her name and Aquaman could really use some love :(

Sup looks a bit anorexic -> maybe it's because i just saw "Superman vs The.Elite"...
