"Justice League: Gods and Monsters" (2015)

In an alternate universe, very different versions of DC's Trinity (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman), who operate outside of the law, are framed for the murders of prominent scientists and the government decides to take them out.

This is a fantastic original story by Bruce Timm and Alan Burnett, featuring alternate, darker versions of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. It's a murder mystery where our three leads are the prime suspects, and at first our only reason to root for them is the knowledge that they're innocent. As the film progresses, though, we get to know them better, and they do start to show their true colours.

Plus, I legitimately did not see the ending coming. In the case of Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (which I watched not long before this), I'd be lying if I said I didn't suspect it, but here I never would have guessed.

I love this movie. This is right up in my top three DC animated favourites, along with Wonder Woman and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

My rating: 90%
