The third project and probably one of the most anticipated one is Justice League Dark. The project is still unnamed but will revolve around the storyline from the Justice League Dark film and comics. The makers have kept the details a secret and are cautious as to not reveal any information. The comic originally debuted in 2011 and since then Warner Brothers have tried getting the story on the big screen. The animated film version of the comic book series featured a number of DC characters besides the original members of the Justice League and therefore fans are eager to watch how things play out.
