Producers Butch Lukic, Jim Kreig, and Kimberly S. Moreau are part of the team that spearheads development on Warner Bros.' direct-to-video DC animated films, collectively called the Tomorrowverse.
The Tomorrowverse is DC Entertainment's latest shared universe, which coins its name from the first film in the new DC animated movie continuity, Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020).
The shared universe is a reboot of the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU), which started with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox in 2013 and concluded with Justice League Dark: Apokolips War in 2020.
Prior to the DCAMU, all DC animated direct-to-video films were considered standalone projects.
Speaking to ScreenRant to promote the Tomorrowverse's latest project, Justice League: Warworld, Krieg, fellow producer Butch Lukic and Warworld director Jeff Wamester shared a few comic series that are on their wishlist to tackle.
Wamester named Tom King and Mike Janin's eight-part Batman storyline The War of Jokes and Riddles as his dream project. The storyline saw the Riddler and Joker going to war during Batman's second year of operation in Gotham. "I try and nudge Jim every 9 to 12 months on the War of Jokes and Riddles. I'd love to do that."
In turn, Krieg remarked that he'd like to go a bit further back in the DC archives and mentioned two titles that only old-school DC Comics fans would recognize. "I like Camelot 3000 or Omega Men," he stated.
Lukic followed up, "I would love to do Camelot 3000, yeah. And then the Neal Adams, Denny O'Neill, Ra's al Ghul storyline. That would make a perfect film. Readapted again after 30 years. We did it in Batman The Animated Series, but now we can really do it as an R-rated [story]. But I'm sure that's going to end up being incorporated into the new James Gunn universe."
Camelot 3000 was a 12-issue limited comic series from Mike W. Barr and Brian Bolland where the King Arthur legend is reimagined for a futuristic setting where Arthur is reawakened in the year 3000 to save Britain from invading aliens. Published in 1982, Camelot 3000 was the first maxiseries- DC's terminology for a limited comic run that exceeded 11 issues.
The Omega Men are more or less a DC pastiche of the original 1969 Guardians of the Galaxy, the team that preceded Star-Lord, Drax, and co. Created by Marv Wolfman and Joe Staton, the Omega Men debuted in Green Lantern Vol 2 #141(June 1981) as a team of galactic peacekeepers that operated in a space system with no Lanterns.
The team branched out from the Green Lantern books and received its own series from April 1983 to May 1986, consisting of 38 issues. Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen wrote and provided art for the run, which is notable for the debut of the anti-hero, Lobo.
