The Machinima network has scooped up a three-part animated “Justice League” series after purchasing the digital rights from Warner Bros. Entertainment.
”Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicle” will star Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but will be a much “darker” version than previously seen, according to Latino Review.
“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,” Chad Gutstein, Machinma CEO, said in a statement.
“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.”
Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. animation and Warner digital series, also released a statement regarding the new “Justice League” show. “Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicle” will be the first installment of newly founded Warner Bros. digital content production.
“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.”
”Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicle” will be released in 2015.
