Justice League: Gods and Monsters reimagined Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in bold, brutal ways, but back in 2015, it may have gone over our heads.
In this video, I explore how Bruce Timm and Alan Burnett broke their own rules to forge a darker, more complex Justice League, one shaped by violence, guilt, and betrayal, and compare it to DC's recent Absolute line of comics.
From Hernan Guerra's deadly compassion to Kirk Langstrom’s monstrous guilt, this film had a very clear message that audiences may not have been ready for in 2015, but perhaps we are now.
