During the ongoing 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, WB revealed that Creature Commandos would arrive sometime in December 2024. The series, which will act as the kickoff to the new DC Universe, is an adaptation of J.M. DeMatteis and Pat Broderick’s comic series.
While not much else was announced regarding the project, Warner Bros. Discovery is set to have a dedicated panel for the show at the festival later this week, potentially revealing more about the show.
