Superman and Batman "motion comics" planned

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Batman: Black & White" and "Superman: Red Son" will be adapted as "motion comics," with animation and voiceovers used to "enhance" the original comic book stories. Sounds like a high-tech update of those horrible 1960s Marvel Comics cartoons.

Anyway:

Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution will adapt the graphic album and graphic novel into digitally downloadable episodes that bring the comic to life by combining the artwork with subtle movement, voice-overs and musical scores.

The companies introduced their first motion comic at this year's Comic-Con with the initial chapter of "Watchmen," which adapted the first issue of the 1980s comic book miniseries into that format. Dave Gibbons, the original artist, was even tapped to redraw certain parts of the story.
