So there have been 3 JL: Gods and Monsters shorts released so far featuring Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, respectively, in their Elseworlds personas from Bruce Timm. There's been a lot of mixed reactions about the shorts and from what I've seen, it seems to be that either people love or hate the concept so far.
[By the way, you can watch the three shorts if you haven't already by visiting this link CBR posted-- the links to the Batman and Superman shorts are included in the article.]
The full animated feature film comes out on July 28th.
So with all the mixed reactions it seems to be getting, I thought a poll would be a good way to see what the general consensus here on CBR is about the movie.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the movie. It's a crazy, obscure concept with weird Elseworlds versions of the DC Trinity, but that's what makes it so fun to me. And besdies, it's Elseworlds-- it's supposed to be weird. And even aside from all that, it's Bruce Timm. I mean, come on.
So how about you guys? Are you in or out for this one?

In, of course. I love Elseworlds

That's how it starts. The fever. The rage. The feeling of powerlessness. That turns good men....Cruel - Alfred.
This may be the only thing that I do that matters - Bruce.

It looks profoundly, almost transcendently awful. About as Out as it gets.
Buh-bye

I really enjoyed the three shorts. I think the Superman one is probably my favorite. I'm definitely looking forward to the movie.
The showed off some designs for Steel, Green Lantern and Mary Marvel (for the next Machinima season, I think?) and they look pretty cool too.

Out, which is a first as I've never not been interested in DC animated films.
I have no interest...

I have my reservations but Im pretty excited for it so count me in. I wish it was a legit show on Adult Swim rather than a collection of shorts.
@vartox you know where i could find a link to them?

I'm out. It looks horrible to me.
Supporting LION FORGE COMICS and other independent publishers.
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.
Oh my goodness gracious! I've been bamboozled!

I think it looks fantastic. SuperZod, Vampman, and SafeWordWoman... I'm all in.
It's interesting in the current PC climate that this Wonder Woman is so overtly sexual. I'm not knocking that but I'm just surprised. Originally Posted by The General, JLA #38

I think it looks amazing! I can't wait for this! DC animation has fallen a long way since Timm left and McDuffie died. This looks like a breath of fresh air. So happy to have Timm back.
Wow that looks awesome! So I'm guessing Abin Sur GL, Steel, and Mary Marvel. Can't wait to see more of Timm's reimagined DC characters. Originally Posted by vartox
