Geek culture website Nerds on the Rocks got the scoop on the plot for the upcoming DC animated direct-to-video title Justice League: Gods and Monsters — the first film in the line to have a completely original story conceived by the legendary Bruce Timm instead of being a comic-book adaptation. Gods and Monsters is set in an alternate Earth where the Justice League is framed for the murders of well-known scientists, but these are very different versions of the most popular DC heroes.
NOTR revealed some details about the key League triad: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. G&M Superman is the son of Zod and is a much more violent Man of Steel, embittered by the dark side of humanity (he even has a goatee to prove it). Batman in this universe is the alterego of Kirk Langstrom (a.k.a. mad scientist Man-Bat, traditionally), Langstrom having injected himself with bat venom in an attempt to cure himself of cancer, turning himself into a vampire-like hybrid creature. Wonder Woman in this world is no mere Amazon princess, but one of Jack Kirby’s New Gods, who comes to Earth after a marital squabble with fellow New God, Orion.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, JL: G&M is directed by Sam Liu (Batman: Year One, All-Star Superman) from a screenplay by Alan Burnett. Bruce Timm co-developed the story and character designs, and is producing the project along with Sam Register. Warner Bros. Home will release the title later this year.
The last picture used is from Justice League: War, not Gods and Monsters.
Yeah that is super misleading.
