The Tomorrowverse[1] is the name given to an American media franchise and shared universe produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, and based on characters appearing in DC Comics publications. It is the successor and soft reboot of the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU), with specific continuity details such as storylines being acknowledged from the prior franchise.
Jim Kreig and Kimberly S. Moreau are the producers of the franchise, which began with Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020).
Background
The franchise is a successor to the DC Animated Movie Universe which began with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox in 2013 and concluded with Justice League Dark: Apokolips War in 2020. The short film Constantine: The House of Mystery (2022) acted as a coda to Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. It is named after the franchise's first film Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020) and coined by fans sometime after the release of Justice Society: World War II (2021) and Batman: The Long Halloween (2021) due to recurring voice actors and the same animation used since Superman: Man of Tomorrow.[citation needed] Jim Krieg and Kimberly S. Moreau serve as the main producers for all films.
