Gotham City has always been a doomy place to live, but the latest evil that threatens its citizens could wipe it off the map for good. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has finally released the official trailer for its next DC animated original movie, Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham. The studio also confirmed that the film will premiere on home media this spring.
Based on the early-aughts limited series by Mike Mignola, Richard Pace and Troy Nixey, The Doom That Came to Gotham re-imagines the Batman mythos in a 1920s pulp setting, featuring unique spins on some of the Dark Knight’s most popular foes, including Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, Two-Face and more. However, the film will also introduce a new mystical adversary capable of summoning all manner of monsters and demons. As the title suggests, these creatures are heavily inspired by the work of H.P. Lovecraft and aim to bring Gotham to its knees, forcing an inexperienced Bruce Wayne to stop them at all costs, even if that means experimenting with dark magic himself.
