Justice League: Gods & Monsters, the all-new animated DC Universe Original Movie conceived by legendary producer/animator Bruce Timm, will get its release from Warner Bros. on July 28, 2015. The 2D animated adventure will be available on Blu-ray Deluxe Edition ($29.96), Blu-ray Combo Pack ($24.98), DVD ($19.98) and Digital HD.
Synopsis: Witness a divergent reality where the Justice League protects the planet – but answers to no one but themselves. Employing methods of intimidation and fear, this Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman deal brute force in the name of justice. From the creative genius of executive producer Bruce Timm and co-producer Alan Burnett comes an original story where the world’s greatest triumvirate of super heroes has distinctly different origins. Superman was not raised by the Kents in Smallville, the Caped Crusader is not Bruce Wayne, and Wonder Woman is not an Amazon warrior of Themyscira. They are as likely the world’s saviors as Earth’s despotic rulers. When a group of famed scientists experience untimely “accidents,” a government task force follows the trail of clues to the Justice League – but is there a more powerful player operating from the shadows? It’s a high stakes game of intrigue, mystery and action that asks the question: How do you serve justice to those above the law?
Directed by Sam Liu (Batman: Year One), the movie features the voices of Michael C. Hall as Batman, Benjamin Bratt as Superman, Tamara Taylor as Wonder Woman, Paget Brewster as Lois Lane, Jason Isaacs as Lex Luthor and C. Thomas Howell as Dr. Will Magnus. Blu-ray editions include special features Alternate Realities: Infinite Possibilities, Calculated Risks: The Making of Gods and Monsters, The New Gods documentary and bonus cartoons from the DC Comics Vault. Blu-ray and DVD sets both include a sneak peek at the next DC Universe animated movie.
