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''. Jim Krieg, and Kimberly S. Moreau serve as the main producers for all films. One film set in the Tomorrowverse continuity is in development, titled ''Justice League: Warworld''.
