The Justice League Dark: Apokolips War sneak peek featurette from the Superman: Red Son release has made its way online offering insights and new footage from the movie.
The 10-minute featurette sees the film’s creators and stars offer that the movie features the most DC superheroes ever in an animated film as they take the fight to Darkseid and Apokolips.
We knew ultimately that the Justice League was going to have to take to battle to Darkseid. You’re dealing with 4th World stuff, dark magic of the Constantine world, the true blue heroes, lots of villains,” says the video. “There’s laughs, lots of gore…”
“It’s a huge cast,” said Rebecca Romijn who voices Lois Lane.
“I’ve never seen so many superheroes in one movie. Ever,” said Matt Ryan who provides the voice of Constantine.
“The only way to stop them is to take the battle to Apokolips,” said producer James Tucker.

Culminating a six-year animated journey that began with the release of Justice League War in 2014, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War finds Earth decimated after intergalactic tyrant Darkseid has devastated the Justice League in a poorly executed war by the DC Super Heroes. Now the remaining bastions of good – the Justice League, Teen Titans, Suicide Squad and assorted others – must regroup, strategize and take the war to Darkseid in order to save the planet and its surviving inhabitants. This is truly the war to end all wars, and only the victor will live to enjoy the spoils.
