Neil Gaiman's Death, Sgt. Rock, Adam Strange, and More Getting DC Showcase Animated Shorts

DC seems to have finally cracked the code when it comes to live-action superhero films but there's no doubt that the company's animated films are gems. One thing the recent movies have dropped are the lush DC Showcase animated shorts, which is finally returning after a few years of being left out. Like before, these short animated films will focus on obscure characters and the company has announced the list of Showcase shorts coming soon.

The DC Showcase shorts will focus on Sgt. Rock, Adam Strange, Neil Gaiman's Death, The Phantom Stranger, and, oddly enough, Batman: Death in the Family. These shorts are scheduled to be released in late 2020, which means fans have a number of new DC animated movies to look forward to.

Fans are probably wondering why Death in the Family is just a short since the story can carry a whole film and was already mentioned in the wonderful Under the Red Hood animated film. Your guess is as good as mine.

Here is a summary of the Showcase shorts, courtesy of DC Comics:

No details on Death in the Family were given.

Are you guys excited for these new DC Showcase animated shorts?
