March 30, 2013: Bruce Timm Working on New Justice League Series?

by Neil A. Cole

On the heels of the recent news that Bruce Timm has stepped away from his position of overseeing DC Universe animated feature films comes word that the legendary animator may be working on a new Justice League animated series.

According to a report by CBM, the new series would be set in the "Timmverse" where 'Batman: The Animated Series', 'Justice League Unlimited' and 'Young Justice' were set.

In response to the fans' negative reaction to the news of Timm's departure, Warner Bros. publicist Gary Miereanu tweeted the following to help ease everyone's concerns:

"Bruce Timm is stepping away from the DCU Animated Original Movies for a bit... but he'll be back – in a very big way.

"He's not going far, and he'll be back.

"Bruce Timm continues his amazing work at Warner Bros. He's only taking a break from DCU films to develop more of the stuff you love. Honestly, he never left. 'Green Lantern: The Animated Series'... 'The Flaming C'... 'Dark Knight Returns.' And something new and cool."

CBM speculates that "something cool" could be a new Justice League series with an official announcement possibly coming at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. For now though, take this latest news as strictly rumor until such time that more information is made available.

Until Timm's return, his longtime associate Jim Tucker will take over duties on all upcoming DC Universe animated feature film projects.
