Justice League: Gods and Monsters, the Elseworld feature from the mind of the legendary Bruce Timm, will premiere at this year’s San Diego Comic Con as part of the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment schedule. Timm wrote the film, with DC veteran Sam Liu serving as directing. Liu, Timm and movie’s voice cast are also scheduled to appear in a panel after the screening.
The protagonists in this Justice League are not what we’re accustomed to. Batman is not a billionaire with gadgets, but is actually a scientist. Kirk Langstrom (Man-Bat) to be exact. And he disperses justice to criminals by sucking their blood. This film’s version of Wonder Woman was not born on Themyscira, but New Genesis (enemies of Apokolips and Darkseid). After a battle, she doesn’t mind answering her libido with a romp with Steve Trevor. And this version of Superman is not Kal-El, and not raised by Midwestern parents. Instead, he is the son of General Zod, jettisoned to Earth, and raised by migrant workers.
Justice League: Gods and Monsters will not be the only feature panel by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. The group will also premiere 3 other upcoming video releases, complete with follow up by cast and crew panels. The immortal rock group KISS is also scheduled to appear for a screening of Scooby Doo! and Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery.
