A new Justice League animated series will debut online next month

Next month will see the debut of Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles, created by beloved DC Animated Universe mastermind Bruce Timm. The series, which was first announced last fall, will focus on darker, alternate versions of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman with whole new origin stories. (Superman is the son of General Zod, for instance.) The show will pave the way to a feature length film, which will be released next month, and a second season due out next year.

In addition, DC has two other new shows on the way. The first, #4Hero, is a live-action web series that's a modern take on the classic Dial H for Hero comic from the 1960s. The second, DC's Hero Project, involves contestants competing to create live action videos based on the Starman comic. All three efforts should well help DC compete with Marvel online, especially since the release of the Daredevil streaming series last month.
