DC STUDIOS has two heads, Gunn and Safro. And they just announced that three “younger-skewing” animated series have been greenlit for the near future. And all will be overseen by executive producer Sam Registernand, and produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios.
“My Adventures with Green Lantern,” will follow high school student Jessica Cruz who has her life upended when, according to an official logline, “a Green Lantern Power Ring falls from the sky” and chooses Cruz “to be its champion.” Things get even worse “when more debris from the Lanterns’ ancient space war arrives – along with their alien foes.” Jake Wyatt is executive producing, and Stephanie Gonzaga is a co-executive producer.
** and if this series sounds similar to the current My Adventures with Superman series on Adult Swim and Max. That’s not a coincidence. This new series will exist in the same universe as that version of Superman. (That is a good show y’all. And season three is on the way.)
“DC Super Powers” takes place at the Alliance School for Heroes and focuses on new students; Lightning, Flash, Plastic Man, Aquagirl, Green Lantern and Terra who “level up their powers under the supervision of Principal Martian Manhunter, in the hopes of one day graduating and becoming the next generation of Earth’s defenders.” Matt Beans is executive producing, and Michael Chang is a supervising producer.
Finally, “Starfire” serves as the origin story for the fan favorite title character, perhaps best known as part of the Teen Titans. The show follows her adventures after she uses “an ancient spaceship” she discovers on her home planet of Tamaran to escape her planet and explore the stars. Along the way, she’ll meet “space biker Crush, plant-loving Fern, and the magical Princess Amethyst of Gemworld” and together, they will “uncover the deepest reaches of the DC universe, save Space Dolphins, surf technicolor nebulas, and boldly soar into the unknown.” Josie Campbell is executive producing, and Brianne Drouhard is co-executive producing.
