Warner Bros Animation has some big projects in the works, with quite a few focusing on some fo the biggest universes that the studio has to offer. Lord of the Rings isn't just making a comeback thanks to a new live-action movie focusing on the hunt for Gollum, but with an animated film dropping this year that will focus on the Rohirrim. The studio is also working on expanding James Gunn's DC universe with Creature Commandos, a gathering of the superhero universe's supernatural entities. Now, WB has announced the first looks for each along with other projects.

The Lord of The Rings: The War of The Rohirrim is set to arrive in theaters on December 13th this year, but Warner Bros has yet to release any promotional material for the animated film when it comes to trailers or official images of the animation itself. Set around one hundred and eighty years prior to the original trilogy, the movie follows the creation of Helms Deep and is sure to plant seeds for what is to take place in the now legendary Lord of the Rings series. On the flip side, Creature Commandos will act as one of the opening salvo projects to James Gunn's DC Universe, with characters from this supernatural superhero squad appearing in live-action projects.
