DC Studios has unveiled the first promotional image for its upcoming animated series adaptation of Tom King's Mister Miracle, confirming Josh Hutcherson and Mackenzie Davis as the voices of the titular hero and Big Barda, respectively. The image shows Scott Free, also known as Mister Miracle, in an intimate moment with Big Barda, set against a backdrop hinting at the looming presence of Darkseid.
