Midnight on Adult Swim.
While you’re still waiting for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, something to watch in the DC Comics Universe will be the third Robot Chicken DC Comics special, premiering tonight.
Since it’s the Robot Chicken crew cracking jokes with stop motion animation, we’re almost sure that there’ll be way less controversy than Batman v. Superman has caused.
Earlier this summer, Robot Chicken teased their upcoming 3rd DC Comics Special at Comic Con.
With the New York Comic Con on hand, they’re continuing to tease the special as there is a great, brand new trailer.
Fortunately, this time around, we only have to wait a week until the premiere.

NBC isn’t kidding around with comedy this pilot season.
Powerless is the latest comedy pilot ordered by NBC from Ben Queen that will follow the lives of the insurance company employees set in the DC Comics universe. Undoubtedly, an insurance company would fittingly have an ungodly workload in a world full of superheroes and supervillains.
Being referenced as The Office with a DC Comics backdrop, would their be an actually sinister Dwight?
While DC still has a ways to go to catch up to Marvel’s current film franchise run (as well as getting on the good side of Chris Gethard), they get to still enjoy the gonzo stop motion animation treatment from Robot Chicken with their DC Comics Specials.
You can see the trailer, released at Comic-Con this past weekend, watch it here, then look for it on Adult Swim this fall.
At 10PM tonight, Comedy Central will be airing Patton Oswalt’s latest comedy special, which, by the way, is fantastic, Tragedy Plus Comedy Equals Time and HBO will be premiering their highly anticipated series from Mike Judge, Silicon Valley followed by the season premiere of Veep at 10:30PM.
Whether through DVR or some amazing feat of mental concentration, we urge you to watch both. After that, you can catch Robot Chicken’s DC Comics Special II: Villains in Paradise at 11:30PM on Adult Swim.
