Back in 2013, animation icon Bruce Timm stepped down from his position as DC Animation Supervising Producer. But in 2015, Timm will be back in a big way.
DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. and Machinima have jointly announced a new animated short series called Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles. Timm will reunite with his “Batman: The Animated Series” collaborator, Alan Burnett for the project, which is an offshoot of the Justice League: Gods & Monsters animated film that will be released by Warner Bros. Entertainment in 2015.
The premise of Justice League: Gods & Monsters centers on an alternate universe where the familiar DC superheroes are much darker than their modern day incarnations. The Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles.animated shorts will focus on Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman as a way to introduce viewers to these versions of the classic characters.
Prior to this project, Timm has served as an executive producer of “Superman: The Animated Series,” “Green Lantern: The Animated Series,” “Justice League,” “Justice League Unlimited” and the previously mentioned “Batman: The Animated Series.”
