A few years back, Warner Bros. announced a New Gods movie, directed by Ava Duvernay and written by comics writer Tom King. A lot of folks thought he was the perfect writer for the project, as he wrote the acclaimed Mister Miracle series, which featured the character from Jack Kirby’s New Gods mythology. That movie ended up canceled. But now, Tom King, who is also a writer on Lanterns, is turning his Mister Miracle comic into an adult animated series for HBO Max. Mister Miracle marks the second DC Studios adult animated show after Creature Commandos.
Below, you can find the official Mister Miracle promo art from DC Studios, along with the first series synopsis.
DC shares the following about the Mister Miracle series’ plot:
No prison can hold him. No trap can contain him. He is Scott Free, the worldwide celebrity sensation known as Mister Miracle, and he is the greatest escape artist who ever lived. But can he pull off the ultimate trick — and escape death itself? Something has gone horribly wrong with the perfect life that Scott and his warrior wife Big Barda have built for themselves on Earth. With war raging between their home worlds of Apocalypse and New Genesis, Scott’s cruel adoptive father Darkseid seems to have finally captured the Anti-Life Equation — the ultimate weapon that will give Darkseid total dominance over the universe.
As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality, exposing his long-buried pain, and shattering the fragile happiness he’s found with the woman he loves. And so begins the odyssey of Scott Free, Mister Miracle: a harrowing, hilarious, heart wrenching journey across the pitfalls of the ordinary and extraordinary as the son of God raised by the devil tries to save his family, his world, and maybe even himself.
All of that sounds faithful to the original DC Comics Mister Miracle series from King and artist Mitch Gerads. The big question remains, though — is this set in the DCU? Probably, since DC Studios pointed out how it’s adult-oriented, like Creature Commandos. And that series takes place in the DCU. If it is, then this is the first indication of Jack Kirby’s New Gods mythology in the new DCU. And it marks the first appearance of Darkseid. James Gunn says that the animated voice actors will match the voice actors in live-action. So we should pay very close attention to the casting announcements for this series.
DC Studios’ Mister Miracle series for HBO Max currently has no release date.
