Luke M Aug 28, 2018 An elseworlds story and a fresh retake on classic characters.

Jun 19, 2018 When the short clips started to be released from the upcoming Justice League: Gods and Monsters characters, I was intrigued. I loved seeing the return of Bruce Timm's animation, but I have never been a big fan of alternative universe stories, even when it includes beloved characters. I began watching the full-length film with moderate expectations that were quickly exceeded. Bruce's animation is simply stunning. If I were DC/WB, I'd never use anyone else unless I absolutely had to. Ever since Batman: The Animated Series, no one has portrayed DC characters better. Visually, it's obvious, but the teams he puts together to tell these film-quality stories never ceases to impress. Benjamin Bratt as this world's Superman is exquisite. As the son of Zod, not Jor-El, he has a darkness to him never seen, with a unique backstory to match, which didn't include Lois Lane featuring an adorable pixie cut, voiced by Paget Brewster. Wonder Woman isn't from Paradise Island, but New Genesis as a member of Kirby's New Gods, which has never been done well by anyone but Timm. Bruce captures Kirby's block/angular drawing style perfectly, even in the costumes. It's as though Jack himself is drawing the scenes on Apok0lips. The last member of the Trinity, Batman, voiced by Dexter's Michael C. Hall, is an actual vampire, transformed by Will Magnus, voiced by C. Thomas Howell. Without spoiling the plot, the story brilliantly unravels like a mystery with Sentinel-like creatures, seemingly copied from X-Men, framing the Justice League for brutal crimes they didn't commit. The violence is pretty harsh, but it works, with battles culminating in a surprising revelation. The casting, for the most part, was superb, though I didn't quite enjoy Michael C. Hall's Batman. There seemed to be too much Dexter melancholy in him. Overall, though, the emotions work, the story flows well and, along with Bruce's flawless animation, was finally a DC/WB animated movie worth watching in years. See more

Luke R May 18, 2018 Step up from the last..refreshing flick.

Draco R Mar 6, 2018 a mature and unpredictable spin that respects its audience.

George L Nov 27, 2017 I found it as an excellent movie. It take the big three of the DC Universe and completely changes who they are. You don't have to know the story behind any of them because this is something new. It tells you how they got there. This is not the normal DCU; this is an Elseworlds story. (Fans of the normal DCU will have fun with the easter eggs.) See more

Theodore S Nov 18, 2017 DC outdoes themselves again with another animated entry of the Trinity it's essentially an Elseworld story; what if things went differently than what we normally saw for these superheroes? the opening starts with General Zod wanting to excel in genetics superiority to save Krypton then we cut to Earth where Superman lands but instead is raised by a migrant couple, Batman uses more violent tactics to subdue his enemies and he has a thirst for blood, lastly, Wonder Woman is Becca instead of Diana that uses a motherboard sword the other characters we know and love lead very different lives and a majority of them are being slain by an unknown group of assailants implicating the Trinity in the process there are gods in this film as well as monsters that exist in one form or another would it be better for mankind to act as a single unit without hate or corruption? the voice acting is always superb, this is some of the best animation I've seen for a straight-to-video release, and saving the world in an alternate reality can still be possible it's also the most adult story told so far which should please a majority of young viewers and older ones See more
