Comic-Con: DC Comics Necessary Evil Trailer Released

In order to help kick-off their 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International announcements, DC Comics has released the first trailer for Necessary Evil, which is an upcoming documentary about the super-villains of DC Comics. The Joker, Bane, Deathstroke, Darkseid and Lex Luthor -- the scariest and most menacing villains in DC Comics' universe -- take center stage in a brand new full-length documentary from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) and DC Entertainment (DCE). Christopher Lee, who has played the villain more times than almost any other actor, will provide his unique voice as narrator. His roles in more than 200 films include star turns as Dracula, the Mummy and Frankenstein's monster in Hammer horror classics, Count Dooku in Star Wars, and Saruman in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit films. In this new documentary film, the malevolent, sometimes charismatic figures from DC Comics' hallowed rogues' gallery will be explored in depth, featuring interviews with the famed creators, storytellers and those who have crafted the personalities and profiles of many of the most notorious villains in comic book history. Necessary Evil is scheduled to be released on Blu-Ray and DVD from Warner Home Video and DC Comics on October 25, 2013.
