BURBANK,
CA (April 16, 2015)
–
Warner
Bros. Home Entertainment, Warner Bros Animation and DC Entertainment
present an all-new animated feature film from the innovative vision
of renowned producer and animator Bruce Timm, Justice
League: Gods & Monsters,
on July 28, 2015.
The DC
Universe
Original Movie, which will include never-before-seen bonus content,
will be available on Blu-Ray™
Deluxe Edition, Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack, DVD and Digital HD.
Witness
a divergent reality where the Justice League protects the planet –
but answers to no one but themselves. Employing methods of
intimidation and fear, this Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman deal
brute force in the name of justice. From the creative genius of
executive producer Bruce Timm and co-producer Alan Burnett comes an
original story where the world’s greatest triumvirate of super
heroes has distinctly different origins. Superman was not raised by
the Kents in Smallville, the Caped Crusader is not Bruce Wayne, and
Wonder Woman is not an Amazon warrior of Themyscira. They are as
likely the world’s saviors as Earth’s despotic rulers. When a
group of famed scientists experience untimely “accidents,” a
government task force follows the trail of clues to the Justice
League – but is there a more powerful player operating from the
shadows? It’s a high stakes game of intrigue, mystery and action
that asks the question: How do you serve justice to those above the
law?
With
a twist on your favorite Justice League characters, this film is full
of thrilling new adventures and jam-packed with a celebrity voice
cast which includes Michael C. Hall (Dexter)
as
Batman, Benjamin Bratt (Law
& Order, 24)
as Superman, Tamara Taylor (Bones)
as
Wonder Woman, Paget Brewster (Criminal
Minds) as
Lois Lane, Jason Isaacs (Harry
Potter
films, Dig)
as Lex Luthor and C. Thomas Howell (E.T.,
Southland)
as Dr. Will Magnus.
