Justice League: Gods and Monsters Release Date and Other News: Online Chronicles version via Machinima hitting the Internet Spring of 2015, will feature darker Superheroes version

Justice League is now being developed by Bruce Timm and Alan Burnett, who both worked together on the Batman: The Animated Series and the Justice League series. The new animated film is titled Justice League: Gods and Monsters. On top of this feature film, it will also introduce an online show, Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles. This will be aired through the Internet network Machinima come Spring 2015. The show will feature a darker version of our favorite superheroes, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, set in an alternate universe.

Machinima's CEO, Chad Gutstein, spoke about the new series in a press release (via Comicbook.com):

"Ever since we announced the Warner Bros. strategic investment, we have been looking for a new and exciting way to tap into the company's unmatched content. With Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles, Machinima will be the very first place fans can experience a new vision for DC Comics' beloved Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman characters. In addition, we have built a first-of-its-kind package for brands to engage with these characters to reach Machinima's elusive audience."

DC's Entertainment president, Diane Nelson, also commented on the new film: "We are committed to delivering DC Entertainment's extensive line-up of world-class characters and stories to audiences across all platforms and formats. 'Justice League: Gods and Monsters' is an exciting opportunity to bring alternate versions of DC Comics' iconic Justice League characters to Machinima, and we look forward to bringing this new animated short form series to life with our partners across Warner Bros."

Warner Bros. Animation President, Sam Register, also added: "We couldn't be happier to be announcing our first new digital series today, and we're even more excited that it's a collaboration with such accomplished storytellers as Bruce Timm and Alan Burnett, who have been responsible for some of the most innovative and creative DC Universe projects. We can't wait for fans to have a chance to see the world they have created when Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles debuts on Machinima next year."

The online episodes are expected to debut on Machinima in spring 2015, weeks before the launch of the film. Stay tuned for more news on Justice League: Gods and Monsters release.
