When the DC Universe relaunched in 2011 with The New 52, the idea was to put a current-day spin on superheroes: lots of seams in the costumes, more aggressive attitudes, rockier relationships.

If the trailer for Justice League: War, the new animated film that adapts the first storyline from The New 52, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's initial six-issue arc from Justice League, is any indication, it has all been set to a dubstep soundtrack, too. Check out the trailer after the jump.

 

 

Also of note: The movie appears to mix in the story from Johns and Gary Frank's Shazam backups in with the first JL arc. That changes things up a bit. Plus, Darkseid is considerably more chatty in this version of the story, in that he talks at all, really.

The cast includes Firefly's Alan Tudyk as Superman, Source Code's Michelle Monaghan as Wonder Woman, Lord of the Rings actor Sean Astin as Shazam, and Vegas star Jason O'Mara as Batman.

The movie is scheduled for release on Blu-ray and DVD sometime next year.
