In a groundbreaking move, DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation revealed an exhilarating slate of three new animated series at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. These electrifying shows include Absolute Batman, Joker: Laugh Riot (DC's first-ever anime series), and an as-yet-untitled Krypto show. While details about network affiliations are still scarce, one thing is certain – these shows are set to redefine animation for DC fans worldwide. The adult-oriented Absolute Batman boldly reimagines the Caped Crusader as a blue-collar hero, battling against insurmountable odds and formidable villains in an era of wealth, power, and corruption. Executive produced by Scott Snyder (comic book series writer) and Nick Dragotta (artist), this gritty reboot promises to prove that even in a world gone mad, one righteous individual can change the course of history. Meanwhile, Joker: Laugh Riot marks DC's inaugural foray into anime territory, with Jim Krieg (Batman: Knightfall Part 1: Knightfall) serving as executive producer and Yasuhiro Aoki (Batman: Gotham Knight) directing. The series follows the Joker on a relentless quest to avenge Batman's death, forcing him to confront the possibility that without his greatest adversary, he may no longer know who he truly is. Last but certainly not least, the kid-friendly Krypto show centers around Superman's super-powered canine companion as he embarks on a series of misadventures with a motley crew of would-be criminals. C.H. Greenblatt (Dead Man, Jellystone, SpongeBob SquarePants) is executive producing this chaotic yet heartwarming series, which sees Krypto's unstoppable energy slowly transforming his friends for the better, whether they like it or not. Annecy's World’s Finest Animation: DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation Showcase featured industry heavyweights Peter Safran (Co-Chairman and Co-CEO, DC Studios) and Sam Register (President, Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe), as they unveiled these eagerly anticipated projects to fans and critics alike. Get ready for a new era of DC animation – it's gonna be lit!
