Justice League Dark: Apokolips War ends the DC Animated Movie Universe saga


Billed as the culmination to a six-year animated movie saga that began with 2014's "Justice League War", Warner Bros. Animation is set to release the final chapter of the DC Animated Movie Universe with May's "Justice League Dark: Apokolips War" - which will see about every character from the Justice League and Justice League Dark unite to take on the forces of the fiery world of Apokolips and its supreme ruler, the New God Darkseid. As reported by Comic Book.com, following the adaptation of "Flashpoint" with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and then the emergence of films starting with JL War that were heavily inspired by "The New 52", it looks like WB and DC are going to begin things anew - possibly with a "Rebirth" after this is finished.

Fans of nostalgia and retro cartoon action are in for a real treat during these trying times, as Hasbro has done the deed and uploaded FULL EPISODES of the classic "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero" TV Series to YouTube! Released in 1983 to compliment the popular toyline as well as the Marvel Comics series, the show followed after Hasbro commissioned Marvel Productions to produce animated commercials promoting the toys.



Following the immense popularity of those ads, a five-part animated mini-series was produced - focusing on the Joes battling their mortal enemies, the terrorist organization known as Cobra, as they raced to find three elements that powered a matter transporting machine known as the M.A.S.S Device. That pilot series would pave the way for more episodes and seasons to come, and the rest as they would say is history.
