Alongside a new Constantine animated short, the company also confirmed today that three additional short films would be bundled into an anthology of sorts: Kamandi: The Last Boy on Earth, The Losers, and Blue Beetle are all included, Warner Bros. confirmed. The press release also notes that a special featurette titled "DC Showcase: One Story at a Time" will also be included.

Without spoiling the ending, Constantine’s constant reckless spell casting and underestimating the dark arts finally catches up to him in a way that will be a big payoff for longtime fans of the magician in any medium. Magic always has a price, and Constantine finally pays the toll as the film comes full circle with the original canon in a surprising and satisfying way.

Or can we get a spinoff film with a tap-dancing Constantine like the demon Nergal pitched to a producer? Did that ever get a deal anywhere? Because it sounds like an absolute hit.

An adaptation of the “Flashpoint” comic crossover from 2011, “The Flashpoint Paradox” is the first movie from the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU) — a reboot of the existing DC Animated Universe, designed to clear up years of muddy continuity. Elseworlds, the DC equivalent of Marvel’s “What If…?,” was always a fertile platform for storytelling, and this movie is effectively that concept stretched out to a feature-length film. In this universe Superman was captured at birth and held prisoner by the U.S. Government, and it was Bruce Wayne who was shot dead in Crime Alley — leading his father, Thomas Wayne, to take up the mantle of a far more murderous and vengeful Batman.

The most entertaining elements of this surprisingly close adaptation are the side-effects of Superman’s displacement from west to east. Batman is now a dissident, his parents killed by Stalin’s police, and Lex Luthor is a benevolent super-genius in service of the American flag. The plot centers around the cost of loyalty, and -– despite some sadly missed elements from the source material –- it’s one of the most entertaining and original films that DC has produced.

While ‘Constantine: The Legend Continues’ will eventually get a DVD and Blu-ray release that will contain deleted scenes, the actual film is slated to be viewable on the network on October 15th, 2018. For those unfamiliar with the film, it is described as follows:

Fans of DC’s resident dabbler in the occult know that John Constantine hasn’t had the best of track records in TV and movies, but this is a solid adaptation and thankfully Matt Ryan continues his run voicing the title role. The attractive animation and practical writing may strangely lack a sense of excitement, but they’re more than good enough to make this the best on-screen representation of Constantine so far.

DC TV can go far… but not quite that far. That’s the advantage to Constantine not only starring in his own series again but it being animated. In fact
