Our First Taste of The Darkest Justice League Cartoon Ever
Filed to: Justice LeagueFiled to: Justice League
Justice League: Gods & Monsters
Always thought Harley Quinn was disturbing because of her twisted love affair with the Joker? Here's a version of the supervillain that's even more unhinged. And the Batman who takes her down in this alternate universe does something... harsh.
Looks Like This Will Be The Darkest Justice League Cartoon Ever
Superman is General Zod's son. Wonder Woman's the daughter of Ares, evil god of war. And Batman?…
Superman isn't Clark Kent in this version of the Justice League. Wonder Woman isn't from a place that worships Greek Gods. The Batman in Justice League: Gods & Monsters Chronicles short above is an actual vampire, one who does what most fictional bloodsuckers do. Best protect ya necks, bad guys.
Premiering today on Machinima, Justice League: Gods & Monsters Chronicles is a series of shorts directed by Bruce Timm—one of the men who gave us some of the best animated versions of DC Comics' superheroes in the Batman, Superman and Justice League cartoons. Chronicles is a prologue to a full-length Justice League: Gods & Monsters movie coming in July, going in a completely different direction for Timm's previous interpretation of the World's Greatest Superheroes. They do the right thing—just barely—and do it in ways that are more ruthless than their better-known counterparts.
I spoke with Timm last week about Gods & Monsters and asked him why he decided to use different characters in these well-known heroic identities. Along with giving an answer to that question, he also talked about why it's okay that superheroes kill sometimes. So, yeah, he was okay with Man of Steel's controversial ending.
Kotaku: We've been seeing evil versions of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman for decades now, almost since the characters have been introduced. Why do you think this continues to be a compelling idea that these characters might exist in a more warped version elsewhere?
Bruce Timm: I would probably qualify that by saying that I don't think of them as being evil. They have a different definition of superhero morality and modes of operandi, I guess. But I don't know. This is my own personal weird philosophy, so bear with me.
It made sense at the dawn of comic books to tone down the characters because when Batman and Superman were first introduced they were much harder edged. Batman killed a couple people and Superman would routinely throw crooks off of buildings.
But this outright code against superheroes, any guy who wears long johns can never ever kill anybody, I just feel like that's a little bit artificial. It made sense when comic books were definitely aimed at young kids. But the comic book audience has grown up over the years.
I feel that idea is maybe just a little bit too extreme in one way, not that I think superheroes should go around slaughtering people. But at the same time, it cracked me up when the "Man of Steel" movie came out a couple of years ago, and everybody was all freaked out because Superman killed Zod. I'm thinking, "I don't have a problem with that."
But the publishers quickly realized that was probably not the best role models to be giving little kids, and of course, they introduced the sidekicks, and things definitely got tamer and tamer. I can definitely understand where that came from.
I tried to do exactly the same beat in our Superman: Doomsday movie. That's how I wanted Superman to defeat Doomsday was literally by breaking his neck. DC was like, "Oh no, he can't do that. Superman would never do that, he would always find another way."
Maybe it makes sense for Superman, but any other superhero—I kind of think of them as super cops. If there's a cop out doing his duty and he sees an innocent bystander about to get killed by somebody, and if the cop has his weapon, not only does he have the right to use lethal force, but he has an obligation to use lethal force.
Not to get too realistic about it, I know these are fantasy characters, but at the same time, it's like, "Yeah, I can buy that. It's a not a big extreme." Or likewise, "Why is it OK for James Bond to be blasting away at guys or Indiana Jones? But heaven forbid if you wear tights, that's a no-no." So there's that.
But at the same time we did want to contrast. We didn't want these guys to be exactly Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman just wearing different clothes and having different names. From the ground up we reconstructed them, sometimes radically different from their traditional counterpart, and sometimes maybe not so quite radically different. But to me the game of "what if" is always fun. That is something that has always been appealing.
Right now that is something that is exploding in the comic book world. There's tons of on-going series that are set in parallel universes. Spider-Gwen is the most obvious example. But even going back to Marvel's Ultimate line, you see the same basic idea.
Spider-Man's Dead Girlfriend Is a Kick-Ass Superhero Now
Spider-Gwen is a weird title for the newest heroine to swing through the Marvel Universe.…
Kotaku: That leads me to my next question. Why did you choose these particular characters to embody the alternate Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman? You could have gone with, I don't know, Harvey Dent, or Mon-El or somebody like that.
Timm: This is not the first time I've tried to mess around with these guys. When we first did the Justice League series, I kind of toyed around with the idea—it was actually a bad idea for a number of reasons. But for a moment there, I did toy around with the idea of changing the costumes so that they all had a uniform look.
When I mentioned that I was talking with Paul Levitz, who was the president of DC Comics at the time, and before I even finished the sentence, he said, "Not with the big three. The big three are sacred. You cannot touch them. They're trademarked. They're iconic. You don't mess with them. You don't tug on Superman's cape."
Again, I go back to when I first started toying with this whole idea of a gods and monsters universe and I always think back to the Silver Age Flash and Green Lantern and how radically different they were from the Golden Age Flash and Green Lantern.
I figured normally you can't do that big a revamp on Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman because they're just too big. They're too iconic. But you can do it in an alternate universe. It was too tempting. That low hanging fruit. I just had to grab it.
Kotaku: What was it about Kirk Langstrom, who's the villain Man-Bat in the main DCU? Why was he your go-to guy for the Batman analog?
Timm: It was a progression of thoughts. In the back of my head I associated Batman with the Vampire mythos. Bob Kane has even said that Batman is a combination of Dracula and Zorro. Even going back to Batman: The Animated Series we wanted to do an episode where we turned Batman into a vampire at least temporarily, and at the time we were not allowed to do that for children's television. So that was always on my bucket list. This is like a perfect opportunity to say, "OK, yeah..." Go ahead?
Kotaku: There was a great Gene Colan run in the '80s, where Batman became a vampire...
Timm: Oh, right, exactly. That was exactly what inspired me. And there was the Kelley Jones one [Batman: Red Rain] and all that.
Kotaku: And Superman here is essentially Zod Junior. You could have chosen any other Kryptonian counterpart. Why that?
Timm: I could have made him not Kryptonian. I did toy briefly with the idea of getting rid of Krypton all together and doing something more what Stan Lee did when they had that whole Stan Lee imagines the DC Universe thing. Just make him a completely separate character.
But I thought the whole thing would resonate a little better if it wasn't a whole new universe, if it was kind of a tangent universe off of the traditional DC continuity so that there were familiar elements. I felt like it would be a little bit less random.
That made me think, "OK, if he is Kryptonian, what makes him different?" I just automatically thought of, "OK, he's got a different dad. He's not the son of Jor-El, he's the son of Zod."
Automatically that flips the table over. That changes everything. Plus, the more we thought about it, it's like, "Well yes, when he lands on earth, does he land in Kansas? Does he get raised by the Kents? No he does not. He lands in the Midwest somewhere, and he gets found by a migrant Mexican couple and he gets raised Catholic and poor. He's just got a completely different set of circumstances.
Not only is his life experience different but genetically there's the whole nature versus nurture thing. The deck is stacked against him in a way that Kal-El had it different. That just seemed like a good idea.
Kotaku: The Wonder Woman character here is one of the New Gods. So she's connected to a whole other mythology.
Timm: Yeah. Again, kind of similar to what we did to Superman, we did explore the whole Greek mythology angle for a bit. For a while we thought we had a pretty good idea that instead of making her made of clay built by Hippolyta on the beach, that for a brief moment she was actually going to be daughter of Zeus, she was going to be Diana or Athena or one of the other goddesses of Greek mythology.
But right around the same time that we came up with that idea, while patting ourselves on the back, the New 52 came out and suddenly Wonder Woman is the daughter of Zeus. In the back of our head we were thinking it really wasn't different enough anyway, so we wanted to go in a completely different direction with her.
I had already come up with a design for her that already had a Kirbyish look. At the time I was thinking, "OK, even if we're sticking with Greek mythology, it doesn't have to look like classical Greek costuming and architecture. What if Olympus was designed by Jack Kirby in 1967?
I was already thinking along the lines of Thor and such. I came up with this Kirbyesque costume and then Alan Burnett, who was a writing the movie with me, he looked at it and goes, "Hey, you know what? It kind of looks like a New God." I go, "Oh, there we go."
Kotaku: It was in the back of your subconscious to begin with.
Timm: Yeah. Exactly.
Kotaku: Since these are not the canonical versions of the characters, in this alternate universe, is there a Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Princess Diana roaming around out there?
Timm: That's so funny. Everybody asks that question. Everybody wants to know. Here's the thing. At one point, one of the story suggestions we got from somebody was that at the end of the movie maybe they could meet up with the canonical versions of the DC characters. I really didn't want to do that. That's almost become a cliche.
Kotaku: That's funny because that was pretty much my follow-up question. Does it take away from what you're trying to do here?
Timm: A) That was basically the plot of the Justice Lords episode that we did on Justice League and it's also the plot of The Man in the High Castle, the famous Philip K. Dick book. I really didn't want to do that.
I wanted this to be potentially an ongoing venue to explore the whole rest of the world. I really didn't want to have the traditional characters show up at all.
So it does raise the question: "What about the other characters?" Well, we know for sure Kal-El never got conceived, so bye-bye Clark Kent. He's gone. He doesn't exist. As far as I'm concerned, Bruce Wayne's parents decided to stay home and watch TV instead of going to the movies, so they didn't get gunned down in Crime Alley. Bruce Wayne exists but he certainly didn't become Batman. If he does ever show up in this universe, it's going to be a completely different Bruce Wayne than you're used to.
Kotaku: He's Donald Trump basically.
Timm: Could be.
Kotaku: So how far are you willing to push the envelope here? I've read in the past about how you had Standards and Practices to run up against when you guys were doing Batman back in the day. How much further do you want to push the envelope? Are there going to be orgies? Are there going to be morally gray killings?
Timm: It's a difficult question for me to answer because I don't really know in advance until I get there how far I'm going to go. My own personal line in the sand is constantly shifting. I could argue for and against almost any direction we can go with these characters. But ultimately, I do see them as being heroic, even though they are a bit darker around the edges.
I'll just be honest with you. The three shorts airing on Machinima were deliberately designed to be a bit shocking because that was going to be our first introduction of these characters before the movie came out.
I wanted to smack people upside the head and say, "Wake up! These are different characters." We may have pushed a bit too far in these three shorts, but I did want to make a mission statement right up front. But if it feels appropriate for a story, there is almost nothing we won't do with these guys. If it feels right, it's really liberating to know that we can go there if we have to or if we want to.
Whereas on TV, we always knew there were certain things we were never going to be able to do, so we didn't even bother. Even though we do try and push things as much as we can. We did get away with some stuff.
Kotaku: I remember the "Over the Edge" episode of The New Batman Adventures. Pardon my language but that shit shocked the hell out of me.
Timm: Oh good. That's what it was supposed to do. [laughs]

It is a universal truth that in a battle between a machine and a man, the machine usually wins. We typically imagine this scenario involving people being hit by cars or buses, but a very real danger also exists when the machine happens to be a bicycle. As the number of people using bicycles (both for recreational purposes and to avoid growing traffic) continues to increase, these accidents are bound to happen more frequently.
What can be done about this situation?
Pedestrians can sustain serious injuries from unfortunate run-ins with bicyclists, sometimes almost as bad as injuries in automobile collisions—and definitely much worse than a slip-and-fall. A bicyclist traveling at 15 miles per hour may not seem to be reaching deadly speeds, but he still can cause grave injuries to pedestrians who lack protective gear, such as helmets, and are usually caught off-guard by the collision.
As you can see, the injuries can be life-altering!
Simply being a pedestrian or bicyclist does not automatically determine who is at fault for the collision; fault comes down to an idea called "duty of care." The failure of a person to act according to his or her respective responsibilities is called a breach to the duty of care.
For example, let's imagine Bob the bicyclist is riding on a poorly maintained bike—his brakes do not perform as intended. Bob knows that his brakes are a bit "iffy" but neglects to get them repaired. Bob compounds this issue by simultaneously running red lights while arguing passionately with an ex-girlfriend on his cell phone. To top it all off, Bob is riding under the influence of alcohol. Not surprisingly, Bob crashes into Pat the pedestrian while she is crossing the street.
Pat is not entirely blameless, however. She was not using a marked crosswalk and was dodging traffic as she crossed the street, pretending she was in a video game like Frogger. Pat had a few too many drinks at the bar she just visited and was attempting to stumble home to take a nap.
Riding a poorly maintained bicycle with brake issues.
Riding while distracted (using a cell phone to the point of distraction).
Not using a marked crosswalk.
Crossing the road despite oncoming traffic.
Being intoxicated on a public walkway and street.
According to New Jersey's comparative negligence laws, both Bob and Pat are to blame. However, Pat could still get compensation from Bob if she was less than 50% at fault. This is why it's often worthwhile for pedestrians to file a claim against the bicyclist's insurance, even if they were partially at fault.
What's the Best Way to Avoid Bike/Pedestrian Accidents?
Be aware of your surroundings. It may be tempting to pop in your earbuds and listen to that new podcast or your favorite rock album, but the likelihood of being involved in a collision increases exponentially when one party (either bicyclist or pedestrian) is distracted. It's best to keep the volume turned down while keeping your guard up, constantly scanning your surroundings for oncoming bicyclists or wandering pedestrians.
One final tip—if you are a frequent bicyclist, it may be worthwhile to invest in a camera to mount on your bike or your helmet. These cameras can record footage that may serve priceless in the event of a collision. Your lawyer and insurance company will thank you—assuming you are not the one at fault! So next time you hop on your bike to get some exercise, remember to stay safe and aware of your surroundings.
If you were the pedestrian, and were seriously injured by a bicyclist, you may want to speak to a New Jersey pedestrian accident attorney to discuss your rights and legal options. For a free consultation with Lependorf & Silverstein, P.C., please call (609) 240-0040.

Unlike professional sports, college sports developed rather violently without regard from university officials. Prior to 1850, there was no such thing as intercollegiate sports. University officials knew there was a yearn for physical release demanded by the student body, so their way of dealing with this epidemic was through manual labor. They had students either farming or clearing forms of debris from college grounds. University officials saw this as a positive because it gave the students physical

Why is Mugsy's your spot?
It's just a fun place. Everybody that I've met here is extremely nice, and the bartenders are great. They make sure every time I come in it's a good time. There's never a dull moment.
What do you look for in a good bartender?
I'm kind of high-maintenance [laughs]. I drink Bud Light with lime juice in it. I don't like Bud Light Lime, but I like it this way.
I'm big on personality. I want someone who is personable with you and will act crazy or silly for a good time.
Where else do you like to go?
The other places I like are close to where I live. O'Shecky's Live is a place that has great live music. I'm a big music lover.
And then I have my little runaway bar - a bar that not a lot of my friends would go to. It's Groucho's by the Palace bowling alley.
When I go in I'm one of the youngest customers. It's a little hidden gem where you can just hang out, have a few beers and have a nice relaxing time.
What music do you like to listen to when you're out having a drink?
It depends on the day, really. I'm a big lover of rock, old-school hip-hop like Tupac or Biggie, and country music.
Locally, I think Noise Auction is a great band and I like Blu Kuda. They're a cover band, but that gets you out on the dance floor. And sometimes I go to Skully's just to check out some bands I've never seen before.
Dave Chappelle because he's funny! I met him once randomly at a gas station in the middle of nowhere near Johnstown. He sat in my car and gave me his autograph, and he was just cool as hell.
What I wouldn't give to have a drink with him one night and hear some stories. He'd probably crack me up throughout the entire evening.


The National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS) is the country's national heart specialty Centre. It is also taking international leadership in this trial, led by principal investigator Professor Theodoros Kofidis MD, PhD.
The objective of this multi-center international study is to prevent and reduce complications with life changing impact during and after open heart surgery by administration of the biological drug RESCAP. Today there is no effective treatment for prevention and treatment of complications from ischemic injury during and after open heart surgery.
APPIRED lll has 9 participating institutes across Asia and Europe, with 1250 patients to be recruited. Alloksys aims to propose RESCAP to be applied in cardiothoracic surgery practice upon a successful trial.
"We are very happy to lead this study together with the European partner hospitals, some of which already had previous positive experience with bRESCAP in open heart surgery. Here important scientific foundations was laid for the current APPIRED study.
The ultimate goal for this study is to improve outcomes and lives and postoperative prospects of up to 1 million cardiovascular patients worldwide annually," he adds.
RESCAP, REScuing Alkaline Phosphatase, is the therapeutic compound used in the trial program. Alkaline Phosphatase is an endogenous protein that is naturally occurring throughout the body under healthy conditions. It has an important protective role in the immune system. When the body is under oxidative stress, such as caused by open heart surgery, additional Alkaline Phosphatase is needed to prevent onward complications like inflammation and ischemic injury tissue damage that may translate in reduced quality of life and wellbeing for the patients, as referenced in peer reviewed research publications.
The National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS), a member of the National University Health System, brings together the resources, expertise and capabilities in the areas of Cardiology, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery to better meet the needs of the growing number of patients with heart disease. A key center for the treatment and management of complex cardiovascular diseases, NUHCS' core clinical programs include heart failure, structural heart disease, acute coronary syndrome, vascular medicine and therapy, women's heart health and heart rhythm.
Comprising a team of cardiovascular specialists and experts from a multitude of medical and surgical disciplines, the NUHCS provides a comprehensive and holistic approach to the treatment of patients with heart problems. This approach is backed by cutting edge knowledge and information gathered by the Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI). The CVRI focuses on developing niche research work in creating new knowledge in support of NUHCS' core clinical programs by working in close collaboration with both local and international renowned research institutes such as the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) and New Zealand's Christchurch School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
Founded in 2006, Alloksys Life Sciences BV is now based in Wageningen, The Netherlands, is developing the RESCAP® platform as an anti-ischemic injury and anti-inflammatory compound in acute clinical settings like open heart and other major surgery, organ transplantation, blood loss trauma and severe burn wounds.


Uggs are majorly contraversial. Most people said they are "hot" just because they wear them. I honestly hate Uggs. They make a potentially chic ensemble look like you didn't even try (when you know you have been putting this outfit together since, like, 1st period yesterday). And why did you choose Uggs? Probably because it was raining and you were just feeling exceptionally lazy. In fact, I am guilty myself of owning a pair, simply because they are so comfy. So basically, they need to make an adorable shoe that has the comfort of Uggs. But I guess we can't have everything.
Some people hate them and some people don't.
A lot of people said they love leggings. I am all for them because jeans are uncomfortable. Some say that they make you look lazy, that some shouldn't wear them, and that girls wear them too much. I am guilty of wearing them too often, but what can I say? They're comfy.
I think I can say on behalf of most of us think that leggings are life, and for those of you few that don't, you can just turn your head.
I am all for Sperrys, but when it comes to Sperry Boots... I just can't. I have no idea what the designer was thinking. Maybe he just ran out of ideas? I don't know. But to my surprise, a lot of you said that they were hot. Maybe I just need to get used to this new sense of style, but for now I don't think I will be heading to Macy's to buy a pair.
Choker necklaces are growing on me. I really do think it is a very difficult piece to pull off. You could end up looking like a Brandy Melville model or just look like a 5th grader trying to be Avril Lavigne. All in all, just be careful with this risky piece.
These are insanely comfy. I would wear them all day, everyday, but these are a bit too baggy for me (maybe it's because I'm too short). There are some people that really pull them off. I envy them and I would like to thank runners everywhere for giving the fashion world the most comfortable pants ever.
I am in love with Timberlands. They are cuter than Doc Martens. Do I have a pair myself? No, because my wallet has about 5 bucks in it, and I need to use that for lunch. So I'm about $125 dollars short. Sometimes price tags aren't so hot.
