'''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.

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.
