It was announced today that Machinima has greenlit the new animated miniseries “Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles,” created by the producers of the famed animated show, “Batman: The Animated Series,” Bruce Timm and Alan Burnett. The online series will be based on “Justice League: Gods & Monsters,” a DC animated film executive produced by Timm and co-produced by Burnett that will be released by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment later in 2015. “Chronicles” will focus on alternate versions of the DC Trinity: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
In the coming series, the main heroes of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are reportedly going to be much darker versions of the characters that people think that they know. Thus being a new venture out into a different realm than has been explored by various DC series over the years.
