Justice League: Gods And Monsters
In an alternate universe, very different versions of DC';s Trinity fight against the government after they are framed for an embassy bombing. Superman is named Hernan Guerra and is the son of General Zod. Batman is Kirk Langstrom, a scientist who has inadvertently transformed himself into a form of pseudo-vampire in an attempt to cure his cancer. Wonder Woman is Bekka, wife of New God, Orion. The Justice League';s unaccountability is ultimately challenged by the world';s governments following the suspicious deaths of renowned scientists.

Another solid entry in the DCU line, Justice League: Gods and Monsters works best as an entrée into what should be a fascinating and highly entertaining series of its own. [Blu-ray/DVD]

Marks yet another outstanding Bruce Timm production and a superior entry in the DC Entertainment catalog.

A bold reworking and one I hope we can see more of in the future, just to hear Benjamin Bratt kick ass as Superman all over again.

It's a little too self-referential, and unless you're a walking encyclopedia of all things DC, this has the effect of becoming occasionally difficult to follow.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters feels like a bright alternate universe and something that's not just a fleeting plot device.
