    I'm in, wasn't initially but as more and more stuff came out I got more interested. Love to explore this new world and it's remained characters. If it does well, maybe it gets incorporated into the Multiverse as the 'Wildstorm' Earth since one of the inspirations to this according to Timm was the Authority.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the Green Lantern and if they have a Flash for this world.

    Bruce Timm is a great story teller but I feel he's gone a little to far with this alternative universe. I've watched all 3 of the chronicles released so far and they're just too far removed from what I expect when I think of the Justice League(especially Wonder Woman). Having "Superman" kill crying, toddler Brainiac was reprehensible. These chronicles seem heavily based on shock value and they're just not doing a whole lot for me in the end.

    I initially had no interest in this when all that was known was the title. I thought it would have been a sequel to Justice League: War and Throne of Atlantis, two films I didn't watch and have no interest in watching.

    As soon as it was revealed it had Bruce Timm involved, I was immediately interested in it. His work on the animated series for Batman, Superman, Batman Beyond, and Justice League were some of the best works in the animation genre. Plus 2D traditional animation seems somewhat like a dying art form now, so seeing this get made in 2015, and not in CGI, is amazing! Plus I really like these alternate versions of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. With its mature-like content, it really feels like this is for the people that enjoyed the DC cartoons when they were younger, especially Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League.

    Number one movie I'm looking forward to buying [getting the Best Buy figurine exclusive edition] and watching as soon as it's out!
    After that, I'm looking forward to the new Star Wars and Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight.

    I also like how it'll be getting some comic miniseries and a second season next year.

    I'm going with indifferent. I love most of Timm's DC animated work, but I'm just not sure how I feel about this grittier, more violent edition of the League with Superman looking more like Zod, Wonder Woman makes me think more of Hawkgirl, and a vampire Batman.

    I'll probably rent this on Redbox to see if it's work a buy.

    Even after crying toddler Brainiac told him to do it?

    I think the shock value in these shorts is perfect for building interest in this alternate take on the DC Trinity.

    There are better ways to build interest in this though and the shock value is a big turn off to some people even if this is an Elseworld's tale. Honestly though the big turn off for me is the character designs. I don't like them much and the clips did nothing for me either.

    Check out Lion Forge's Catalyst Prime Universe. Its the best damned superhero verse in comics. Diverse characters and interesting stories set in a universe where anyone can be a hero. And company that prides itself on representation both in the comics themselves and in the people behind them.

    Out.

    I don't mind Elseworlds, but this interpretation of the Trinity interests me in no way.
    Though much is taken, much abides; and though
    We are not now that strength which in old days
    Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
    One equal temper of heroic hearts,
    Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
    To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

    I'm all in.

    Never been the biggest Timm fan at all. I enjoyed BTAS and STAS for what they were during their time. Didn't really dig TNBA or BB and never bothered with JL and JLU and have 0 interest in ever catching up with them. DC was never defined to me by his cartoons so I don't value him as greatly as others do; I was heavy into DC way before BTAS even started unlike what seems like 70% of the rest of the internet today.

    However I find this universe intriguing enough to keep following along.

    Here's the first look at Green Lantern, Steel and Mary Marvel BTW

    I enjoy comic book adaptations but I'm a comic book fan first and foremost. Not a comic book movie fan.

    I don't care for the designs either. They don't really scream "Superman", "Batman", or "Wonder Woman" by any means. The Chronicles aren't terrible but there is very little that ropes me in as a long-time Justice League fan. These new concepts seem to be in name only which is the big let down.

    In because it's Timm. (I'd watch if it wasn't Timm because I like superhero cartoons, but I'd be more prepared for something mediocre, if not outright awful.)

    I'm unsure. The concepts are amazing (the idea of puling a silver age reworking on the big three is genius.) But its very, very dark, and its a bit much for me. I'll probably watch the movie, but I'm pretty iffy on it.

    On the other hand, I'm totally going to steal the concepts for the fanfic I'm planing on doing.
