The First Swamp Thing Teaser Trailer Is Here

Get ready to head into the swamp, but leave your weed killer at home if you know what’s good for you. DC Universe has released the first trailer for its Swamp Thing series, which premieres on May 31st.

Swamp Thing centers on CDC researcher Abby Arcane (Reed).

But as powerful forces descend on Houma, intent on exploiting the swamp’s mysterious properties for their own purposes, Abby will discover that the swamp holds mystical secrets, both horrifying and wondrous — and the potential love of her life may not be dead after all.
