If you’re looking to watch something very different, I’d recommend this new release: Justice League: Gods and Monsters. The movie is set in an alternate universe where the Justice League is a brutal force that maintains order on Earth. This universe has its own versions of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman completely different from the standard “good” versions of these super-heroes that we’re used to. In addition to this compelling animated movie, the Special Features include a sneak peek at the next DC Universe animated movie, Calculated Risks: The Making of Gods and Monsters, and from the DC Comics Vault–two bonus cartoons. If you’re a fan of the DC Universe, you’ll find a lot here to enjoy. If you’re curious about the DC Universe, Justice League: Gods and Monsters would be a good place to start your investigation.
I’ve lost count. How many alternate universes does DC have?
Bob, I don’t know but I do like Bizarro World.
I’m not a big fan of this alternate universe or JL. Bob makes a good point, and it’s part of the reason DC did the New 52: to try to clean things up, but again, that hasn’t worked out too well. I think DC has mishandled their cast of characters and plot lines, and it shows in less interesting comics and films.
Rick, I think DE felt they were losing to MARVEL so they took some risks with their Universe. And the risks didn’t pan out.
Wish I liked this stuff more. Kevin would appreciate some knowledge.
Patti, I’m sure Kevin could figure out what is going on in the DC Universe pretty easily.
I look forward to it with anticipation. I much prefer DC to Marvel these days and have for most of the last 30 years or so.
Scott, I’m sure you’ll enjoy JUSTICE LEAGUE: GODS AND MONSTERS. It’s in the THANK YOU box I’ve sent you!
