YouTube network Machinima has exclusive rights to Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles, a three-part animated series that ties into Justice League: Gods and Monsters, a new OVA that will be released in 2015, according to Variety. The storyline for both revolves around an alternate Justice League in which the core characters, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, are darker versions of their normal selves.
The series will be released next spring, a few weeks before the feature. The OVA is produced by Bruce Timm and Alan Burnett, who collaborated on Batman: The Animated Series.
The short series is the first project from Warner’ Bros. new digital content production unit. DC parent Warner Bros. invested $18 million in Machinima earlier this year.
