An alternate universe Justice League (Batman/Kirk Langstrom, Wonder Woman/Bekka, Superman/Hernan Guerra - son of Zod) is ruthless and brutal. Although functioning as society's protectors, they're disconnected from humankind, and disdainful of it. When someone starts killing government scientists in ways that implicate the League, and the authorities investigate, the League determines to find out who is framing them, and why.
Co-written/co-produced by Bruce Timm (who also did character designs), this is pretty dark. Voice work is great (Michael C. Hall as Batman, Benjamin Bratt as Superman, Tamara Taylor as Wonder Woman, Jason Isaacs as Luthor, Richard Chamberlain (!!!) as Highfather, to name a few). Art and animation are really nice, and the story's pretty good. The drawback for me is that this League is shown to be so unlikeable from the off that I can't root for them later on. So the stakes don't really feel very high. But it's a well made and interesting one-time watch. 7/10
*There are three web shorts prequels for this (6 min each), the Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles. Twisted (featuring Batman - 8/10), Bomb (featuring Superman - 9/10), and Big (featuring Wonder Woman - 6/10)
