The DC animated movie is....

Well, the next DC Comics straight-to-DVD animated film, Superman/Batman: Apocolypse, comes out at the end of the month, and as is the custom, it has now been learned what the next film after that one will be.

And the next in the series is...

All Star Superman!

The multiple-award winning, critically acclaimed chronicle of Superman's final days will be adapted into a 75-minute animated film.

For the celebrity voice cast that's been lined up:

• James Denton, one of the stars of Desperate Housewives, will be voicing Superman. 
• Christina Hendricks, currently starring on Mad Men, will be voicing Lois Lane.
• Anthony LaPaglia, formerly the star of Without a Trace, will be voicing Lex Luthor.
• And acting legend Ed Asner will be voicing Perry White.

Following the schedule that they follow with these DC films, it'll probably be coming out in the Spring...most likely March.

I actually have not read this yet, but I've heard nothing but good things.  Even my best friend -- who is NOT a DC guy -- says he loved the hell out of it.

Time to read this!  I'm heading over to my library's website to check this out.
