I am not familiar with the source material on which Gods and Monsters is based, but it looks like an Elseworld title about a brasher JL. There are obviously standins for the DC Trinity in the trailer, but none of the familiar costumes. I am sure one of our fanboys will come along and educate me, but until then I’ll just say the trailer looks interesting.
It left me cold.
And it is a new property, not based on anything previously. Here is some further info: http://screenrant.com/justice-league-gods-monsters-trailer-2015/
The Trinity is very different: Superman is the son of General Zod and therefor more violent and quick-tempered. Wonder Woman is not an Amazon but rather one of the New Gods and wife of Orion. As for Batman, he isn’t Bruce Wayne but instead Kirk Langstrom (AKA Man-Bat) and is dying from cancer. Using bat venom in an attempted cure, Langstrom transforms himself into a pseudo-vampire, now feeding on the blood of criminals to sustain himself.
The only reason to get excited about this (IMO) is the screenplay is by Alan Burnett (Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond) and Bruce Timm is working on the project as a producer and credited with co-developing the story and character designs.
