Justice League: Gods & Monsters
 

Coming out next year, Justice League: Gods & Monsters is a new 3-part animated series set to air on Machinima. What's most newsworthy about this is that Bruce Timm will serve as the executive producer of the show!

I'm pretty stoked about this, what about you guys?

Super Stoked! :D

So its another one of those Elseworld type of things.

This has been done before, In the Justice League Unlimited cartoon, There were episodes that dealt with the Justice Lords, It was the Justice League from an alternate universe in which, They were a lot more darker and violent.

Even the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us did the Alternate Reality thing.

I like anything Marvel or DC, so this definitely has me excited. Especially since Bruce Tim is involved. I'll have to give it a whirl. Pretty sweet news!

This is just another DC animated movie, and the last couple have been dreadful. I'm not sure why this is a big deal?

Unless its set in the DCAU or is the return of Young Justice, all these DC Universe movies have been bad.

:trolleye:

The reason it's a "big deal" is because:

1) Even if it is just 3-part episodes, it's still the first Justice League animated series since Unlimited ended back in 2006, it's not a movie.

2) Bruce Timm is involved, so that's pretty much a guarantee this is going to some quality stuff.

Besides, he wasn't even involved with the recent DC animated films. He stepped down as the DC animation supervising producer back in 2013.

Is it really 3 episodes or just a movie split into 3 airings? Also pretty sure this has nothing to do with the DCAU so its not the same.

Read the description, bub. It not only clearly states it's 3 episodes, but it's taking place in a new universe.

Nice, can't wait for this. :D

Screencaps for the series/film have appeared online featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Darkseid, Lex Luthor, and Lois Lane.

Nice to see Bruce Timm's character designs again!

I still hope that one day we get one last glimpse into the DCAU, even though "Epilogue" and "Destroyer" were really good sendoffs.

Pretty cool. Sounds like an interesting elseworlds story.

That sounds really REALLY weird. But I'm open to it.

Superman, son of Zod actually sounds pretty cool. Vampire Batman ala Kirk Langstrom is less appealing... I need more info on Wonder Woman before I can arrive at a preemptive opinion.

But hey, Bruce Timm. :tgrin:

Managed to find the teaser trailer online:

I really wish this interested me at all. Seeing the Bruce Timm character designs is sublime, but I'm not feeling the story. Not one bit.

Sounds neat. New 52 sucks, so the animated films based on it have kind of sucked, so I'm totally up for something a little different. I'm always up for a good "Elseworlds". Those are fun.

Almost all Elseworlds tales suck too, with the exception of a few. They almost always turn the Justice League into such unlikeable jerks in elseworld tales.

All of a sudden the heroes are as bad as the villains yet they're still treated as saviors of the planet.

You have no room to throw your weight around on topics such as this, you non-comic book-reading heathen.

You've said you haven't read comics in years also.

This does not look interesting.

I like the art-style ^_^

but....I'm kinda tired of dark and gritty honestly.

For those interested, here's the full featurette that comes with "Batman Vs. Robin"

This Elseworlds actually sounds really interesting. Certainly more than the New 52 adaptations they keep putting us through. Too bad they're focusing on dark n' gritty once again.

At least the 1966 Batman animated movie will balance the scales next year.

I never cared for Bruce Tim's character designs but this made me feel nostalgic. I hate new 52 animated movies. Never read the comics but I hate the image of almost everyone. Especially Wonder Woman. Damn. Just shelve WW as a character already, she obviously has no more use any more. Hooking her up with Supes does nothing for me either.

This is one of those Elseworld type of thing, Since its set in an alternate universe.

Thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious. :trazz:

Man I hate Wonder-Women's outfit in this.....especially that top....

I don't like to complain (okay maybe sometimes I do) but can't we just have a fun energetic colorful superhero movie??

.....no?....not edgy enough?

I kinda thought we got that already with the "JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time" movie from last year. It was pretty good, despite some flaws.

I feel the opposite on the WW's costume. But then again I'm a sucker for any Jack Kirby-influenced designs.

It's just her "top" (if you can even call it that) that I have a problem with.

some scenes it looks like it's like it's covering her up other scenes it looks like it's barely on.....

I just can't help thinking that she'll pop right out of it if she jumps or something. (unless she has double sided tap)

Drawings are drawings, don't over-think things. :lol:

Gods and Monsters Chronicles has been renewed for season 2 by Machinima: http://comicbook.com/2015/05/04/bruc...cles-gets-2nd/

The box art for the movie has also been revealed:

The "Chronicles" webseries debuts on June 8: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=121221

The film comes out on July 28th.

Here's the first episode and trailer:

Holy crap was that episode dark!! :o Also, Tara Strong as Harley! :D

The second episode has been released:

On the one hand that was a rather depressing episode. On the other hand... AMANDA WALLER IS THE PRESIDENT!!! :o

This looked pretty meh until those shorts starting coming out, they really pack a punch. Makes me miss the old days with the Batman and Superman animated series.

The third episode/season finale:

So what have we learned from these episodes.

1: Batman's a vampire and is willing to kill (unless he turned her)
2: Superman still has some morals. He wasn't too keen on killing Kid Brainiac.
3: Wonder Woman is um...horny... :ohwell:
4: Amanda Waller is president!
