At the end of March, Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment will be releasing their latest animated feature, “Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham”. With the release less than a month away, new images from the film have been released.
The images showcase some of Batman’s infamous rouges but with an Elseworlds makeover. These include characters like Penguin, Killer Croc, Talia al Ghul, and Mr. Freeze.
Where Professor Oswald Cobblepot’s expedition ends is where “Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham” begins as Bruce Wayne and his crew discover Cobblepot’s abandoned ship, including his detailed journal. But the Wayne expedition can find no sign of the professor, even while the evolving Cobblepot and his penguins watch them intently from high above. William Salyers (The Regular Show) voices yet another rendition of the Penguin as Cobbelpot.
Killer Croc’s Elseworlds version might be even more menacing than his usual appearance, particularly as the massive creature operates under the merciless command of Talia al Ghul – or looming tall over Batman.
Talia al Ghul seems to be integral to the troubled shadows overtaking the city. Three-time Emmy Award nominee Emily O’Brien (Constantine: City of Demons, Days of Our Lives) reprises her Gotham Knights video game role as Talia al Ghul.
As an Elseworlds take on Mr. Freeze, Grendon appears to Bruce Wayne and his family as a frozen, undying corpse who is devoted to the evil entity unleashed upon the unsuspecting world. DC Animated Movies veterans David Giuntoli (Grimm, A Million Little Things) and David Dastmalchian (Dune, The Suicide Squad, Ant-Man) give voice to Bruce Wayne/Batman and Grendon.
