Warner Bros. Opens Short-Form Digital Studio Blue Ribbon Content

Warner Bros. has several interesting projects in the works thanks to its brand-new studio. The media giant just announced the creation of a digital short-form division, Blue Ribbon Content.

Led by Sam Register, the Warner Bros. studio will develop both animated and live-action series for digital platforms. Blue Ribbon has already lined up a slate of original programming for production as well as several new shows based on Warner Bros. intellectual property. Among these is a new Mortal Kombat series (which may or may not follow the first and second seasons of the hit web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy) and several DC Comics-inspired projects, like a live-action series based on the character Static Shock and a Batman: The Animated Series virtual reality experience. Additionally, Blue Ribbon is developing the previously-announced Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles

for release on Machinima.

According to Variety, Blue Ribbon Content has already tapped several well-known names to head up the development of these shows. Some of the creators include Reginald Hudlin (of Django Unchained), Bruce Timm (from Batman: The Animated Series), and Rob Thomas (famous for Veronica Mars).
