'''Visuals:''' On a black background is a shining wall full of blue dots. As the screen zooms out, there is a close-up of someone's eye, the face of a character (possibly the Joker) with a menacing grin, and a man getting punched. As the camera finishes zooming out, the dots form the letters "'''''DC'''''" as a shooting star forms around them, and the words "'''DC COMICS'''" appear below the logo. The words and logo slowly zoom out before fading out. | '''Visuals:''' On a black background is a shining wall full of blue dots.

* According to [https://www.awn.com/animationworld/imaginary-forces-making-living-turning-comics-film this contemporary article], two major challenges in designing the logo were not making it too similar to the Marvel logo (also designed by Imaginary Forces) and to balance DC's request for a more "cinematic" logo than Marvel with still keeping a comic book aesthetic. These are the reasons why the logo chooses to abstain from showing full comic pages like Marvel before it, instead showcasing them through dots of light. | |||
