Blue Beetle images take center stage today for DC Showcase – Constantine: The House of Mystery

Posted on by

Jump on the couch, pull up your cereal bowl, and relax right into the late 1960s era of Saturday morning cartoons with Blue Beetle, one of the four shorts comprising DC Showcase – Constantine: The House of Mystery, the third compilation of Warner Bros. Animation’s DC-centric shorts.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC, and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, DC Showcase – Constantine: The House of Mystery – which also includes the shorts Blue Beetle, The Losers and the title subject Constantine: The House of Mystery – will be available everywhere on Blu-ray and in 4K on Digital starting May 3, 2022.

Sufferin’ Scarabs! Silver Age Blue Beetle is back! And had he ever starred in a 1960s Saturday morning limited-animation cartoon with its own jazzy earworm of a theme song, it would have been just like this short! Welcome to the adventures of Ted Kord, alias the Blue Beetle, as he teams up with fellow Super Heroes Captain Atom, The Question and Nightshade to battle that nefarious finagler of feelings, Doctor Spectro. Blue Beetle is directed by Milo Neuman from a screenplay by Jennifer Keene based on a story by Jeremy Adams.

  • As one of the more conflicted yet effective pairings of Super Heroes, Blue Beetle and The Question must combine their individual talents to solve the mystery at hand. Matt Lanter (Timeless, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, 90210) stars as Blue Beetle alongside David Kaye (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe) as The Question.
  • Ted Kord’s Blue Beetle travels in style, skying high above traffic in The Bug. Matt Lanter (Timeless, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, 90210) stars as the voice of Blue Beetle.
  • Super Heroes Captain Atom and Nightshade make their first appearance in the DC Showcase – initially under the spell of Dr. Spectro – in the Blue Beetle animated short. Jeff Bennett (Johnny Bravo, Curious George) voices Captain Atom and Ashly Burch (The Ghost and Molly McGee) gives voice to Nightshade.
  • Dr. Spectro shows off his prize – an enormous diamond key to setting all of his nefarious plans in motion. Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants) gives voice to Dr. Spectro.

A band of misfit soldiers, led by a mysterious special agent, wages war with the unexpected inhabitants of a secluded island in The Losers, one of the four shorts comprising DC Showcase – Constantine: The House of Mystery, the third compilation of Warner Bros. Animation’s DC-centric shorts.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC, and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, DC Showcase – Constantine: The House of Mystery – which also includes the shorts Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth!, Blue Beetle and the title subject Constantine: The House of Mystery – will be available everywhere on Blu-ray and in 4K on Digital starting next Tuesday, May 3, 2022.

In The Losers, the legendary rag-tag team of World War II outcasts – Captain Storm, Johnny Cloud, “Mile-a-Minute” Jones, rookie Gunner and Sarge – find themselves marooned on an uncharted island in the South Pacific that is completely overrun with dinosaurs! Their would-be ally on this deadly mission, the mysterious and beautiful Fan Long of the Chinese Security Agency, tells them their job is to rescue the scientists that have been sent to study a time/space anomaly. Perhaps… but what is her mission? The Losers is directed by Milo Neuman from a script by Tim Sheridan.

  • Somebody is watching our heroes … and probably considering a marinade. You’ll have to watch The Losers to discover what’s behind that enormous eye. The Losers is directed by Milo Neuman (LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash) from a script by Tim Sheridan (Batman: The Long Halloween).
  • Leading the rag-tag team is special agent Fan Long … and nobody but Fan Long knows what the true mission entails. Ming-Na Wen (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Book of Boba Fett) leads the cast as the mysterious Fan Long.
  • Making their way through the jungle, the team hears something suspicious in the distance. The group – and the actors voicing them – includes Dean Winters (John Wick, 30 Rock) as Captain Storm, Dave B. Mitchell (Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms) as both Gunner & Sarge, Eugene Byrd (Bones, Arrow) as Mile-a-Minute Jones, and Martin Sensmeier (Westworld, The Magnificent Seven) as Johnny Cloud. And, of course, Pooch.
  • Once the secrets of the island are revealed, sheer mayhem reins the day – which is ironic given that Dean Winters, known for roles in John Wick & 30 Rock, and probably most easily recognized as an insurance company’s advertisement character Mayhem, provides the voice of Captain Storm.
