Netflix will be releasing The Guardians of Justice on the streaming service beginning on March 1st, and to celebrate has released a new trailer that gives fans an idea of the kind of wild experiences they can expect to see. In a blend of twisted superheroes (with WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page bringing the seeming Batman analogue, Knight Hawk to life) and even more twisted animation ideas, you can check out the trailer for The Guardians of Justice below:ย
Created by Adi Shankar (who also directs and writes alongside the likes of Shawn Deloache, Samuel Laskey, Stewart Yost, Kenlon Clark, Luis Junquera, and Enol Junquera), The Guardians of Justice stars Diamond Dallas Page, Sharni Vison, RJ Mitte, Hal Ozsan, Christopher Judge, Jane Seymour, Denise Richards, Derek Mears, and Andy Milonakis. Netflix officially describes The Guardians of Justice as such:
“The alien superhero MARVELOUS MAN has kept the earth at peace for 40 years. But when a devastating secret and its tragic consequences throws our world into chaos, it’s up to Marvelous Man’s bitter, violent lieutenant KNIGHT HAWK and idealistic do-gooder THE SPEED to stop nuclear war. An art house satire of the superhero genre,ย Guardians of Justiceย mixes live action with traditional animation, claymation, cut out paper animation, and 8-bit video game footage in a kaleidoscope of pop art insanity.”
