Like Batman: Escape From Arkham (which introduced the Suicide Squad) and Wonder Woman before it, DC will reissue the Aquaman-centric Justice League: Throne of Atlantis animated movie as a special-edition Blu-ray and DVD, timed to the release of James Wan's Aquaman movie in theaters.

The release will be available digitally and on Blu-ray on November 13.

In the film, Arthur Curry discovers his heroic roots, contends with diabolical foes and takes his place as Aquaman beside new "super" allegiances in a story inspired by Geoff Johns's run on Aquaman. A stand-alone DVD will not be available; Justice League: Throne of Atlantis Commemorative Edition will be available as an Ultra HD Blu-ray combo pack and a standard Blu-ray combo pack. The Blu-ray combo pack will include a DVD copy and digital download.

The reissue include an all-new featurette, "Aquaman: The New King," as well as audio commentary by former DC Editor and current Creative Director of Animation, Mike Carlin, along with screenwriter Heath Corson.

In the film, Cyborg discovers an imminent threat in the depths of the oceans so powerful that it rallies together the newly formed Justice League. Meanwhile, wandering thousands of feet above the ocean floor is drifter Arthur Curry, a man with strange powers who may be the last chance to bridge the ancient Atlantean world with our own. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of DC's Justice League must band together as they face off against warmongering Orm, an army of sea creatures, otherworldly weapons and perilous odds.

The cast features Matt Lanter as Aquaman, Sam Witwer as Orm, Jason O'Mara as Batman, Christopher Gorham as Flash, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Shemar Moore as Cyborg, Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman, Jerry O'Connell as Superman, Sean Astin as Shazam, Sumalee Montano as Mera, Sirena Irwin as Queen Atlanna, and Harry Lennix as Manta. Ethan Spaulding directed the film from a script by Justice League: War's Heath Corson. The film was executive produced by Sam Register and James Tucker.
