Home Entertainment, the feature-length animated film will be released on Digital starting April 27, 2021, and on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack and Blu-ray on May 11, 2021.

Justice Society: World War II finds modern-day Barry Allen – prior to the formation of the Justice League – discovering he can run even faster than he imagined, and that milestone results in his first encounter with the Speed Force. The Flash is promptly launched into the midst of a raging battle – primarily between Nazis and a team of Golden Age DC Super Heroes known as The Justice Society of America. Led by Wonder Woman, the group includes Hourman, Black Canary, Hawkman, Steve Trevor and the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick. The Flash quickly volunteers to assist his fellow heroes in tipping the scales of war in their favor, while the team tries to figure out how to send him home. But it won’t be easy as complications and emotions run deep in this time-skipping World War II thriller.

Nice to see the JSA in a movie set during WW ll instead of using their descendants in modern day or trying to explain how they could still be alive and not extremely old today when they were adults during WW ll . Also nice to have an original story not based on a previous comic book. Not sure why they had to include Barry Allen other than to have a familiar character for TV viewers of the The Flash. They could have used a 1940's version of Superman or Batman. I hope Wonder Woman is Diana Prince but I suspect they will make her Hippolyta, Diana's mother. I see they have Black Canary with a canary cry. While the character debut was in the late 1940's the canary cry wasn't introduced until 1969 when the character went from Earth II to Earth I as a replacement for Wonder Woman in the JLA, who was powerless at the time.

I’m in for the digital version. I can’t justify having these movies on the shelf anymore...but a digital shelf, sure, why not.
