CW Seed has officially unveiled the debut trailer for their new animated series “Vixen,” based on the DC comics character. The show centres on African-born Mari McCabe and her quest for justice after her parents were killed by local corruption. The orphaned Mari inherits her family’s Tantu Totem, this allows her to take on the powers of animals whether it's super-strength of a bear to the speed and agility of a cheetah. As Vixen, she fights valiantly to protect the world from threats like those that claimed her family. You Can check out the trailer below.

The limited series is set in Detroit and features voicework by Megalyn Echikunwoke ( The 4400 ) as the title character. 'Vixen' will take place in the same universe as the CW's 'Arrow' and 'The Flash' TV shows and Stephen Amell and Grant Gustin will reprise their roles for the animated series. Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity Smoak) and Carlos Valdes (Cisco) will also feature.

“This is essentially a coming-of-age story,” Guggenheim told TV Guide Magazine. “I love that we get to expand the universe. We started off with Arrow, which is very grounded, then The Flash introduced the concept of superpowers to this universe, and now Vixen will introduced the concept of magic. We’re continuing to building and expand the tapestry that we have to play with.

Vixen is set for release this Fall and we can't wait to see how this show fits in with the rest of the DC Universe on television, we'll have more when the first episode premiers so keep it locked at Cape and Cowl for everything superhero.
