Fans of Superman are in for a real treat in the not too distant future – because Warner Premiere and Warner Brothers Digital Distribution are in the developmental stages of a special motion comic. This new motion comic will be based on the short form story Superman: Red Son and Batman: Black & White.

According to a report at SciFi Wire Warner hope these new motion comics will bring a more visually engaging lease of life to the popular DC Comics character. The comics present the popular DC Character with the added enhancement of subtle movements – voice overs and enhanced musical scores specially written for these comics.

The Superman: Red Son comic will work in much the same way as the recent Alan Moore Comic Watchmen – which is now available for readers to flip through on iTunes – Playstation Store – Amazon Video on Demand and Xbox Live. The first and second chaptors are all that is available at present – but the rest will eventually follow.

Batman: Black and White is taken from three classic short stories that feature the Caped Crusader. The motion comic version aims to reflect the stories as told by the original writers and artists.

Superman: Red Son is based on the Eisner Award Winning story written by Mark Millar and drawn by Dave Johnson. The story centres on an alternate universe where Superman’s pod landed in mother Russia – and becomes the former Soviet Unions greatest weapon as the world is transformed into one huge communist state.
