WMG / Justice League: Gods and Monsters

The next movie will feature a Lantern, but will focus on a Corps other than the Green Lantern Corps

• A large aspect of this Elseworlds story is to show a Justice League with basically the same members, but vastly different origins. They have a Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman, and with a new movie on the way one of the next members, or maybe just a major character, will be a Lantern. However, instead of the classic Green Lantern, they will focus on one of the more underplayed Lanterns, like the Red Lantern Corps, Indigo Tribe, or the Blue Lanterns.
  • My personal theory will be that Abin Sur never crashed on Earth, and therefore not only was Hal Jordan never inducted into the Green Lanterns, the Green Lantern Corps has basically decided to completely ignore Earth, as when Hal joined they said outright they never planned on spreading their influence that far yet. That also means no Sinestro, since not only would he have no reason to come to Earth, but likely without Hal around never would have been kicked out of the corps in the first place. Instead, the next movie will feature Guy Gardner, and instead of him being a Green Lantern, he will be a Red Lantern of Rage.
  • It's been confirmed that we are getting a new Green Lantern for Season Two of the Chronicles series, alongside a new Steel and a new Mary Marvel. However, it appears that they are still a Green Lantern, as well as an entirely new, alien character.

The bomber pilot in "Bomb" is the Hal Jordan of the Gods and Monsters universe

He's not just a skilled pilot who wears green, he's also voiced by Josh Keaton, Green Lantern: The Animated Series's Hal Jordan.

Lex Luthor had Jonathan Kent killed.

Assume that the farmer who found Kal-el's ship and called the authorities was Jonathan. Lex told a soldier onsite "Code black. None of this gets out." That certainly sounds like a euphemism for "Kill the witness."

The grey-haired protester was Commissioner Gordon.

In this universe, he's no fan of Batman.

This universe's Bruce Wayne will end up being Robin.

• I just think it fits. We know that Bruce's parents were never killed, so Bruce likely had a more stable and healthy lifestyle growing up. The entire point of Robin is that he serves as Batman's more positive counterpart. So this Bruce Wayne ends up filling that role to this Batman.
  • Or, alternatively, Bruce dons a costumed identity to oppose Batman.

This universe's Diana of Themyscira will end up being Terra.

Just a random thought. They're both princesses of exotic lands, sent out to the outside world on a quest for peace (see Atlee), named after major figures from Roman mythology and have a strong association with the Earth.

Bruce Wayne will become Man-Bat

Since Langstrom is Batman its only fitting if it became vice versa.

This universe's Heroes

• Flash: Eobard Thawne as a scientist from the future who discovers the Speed Force and travels to the past and decides to stay to become a hero.
  • Flash: Hartley Rathaway gets hit by lightning while working with chemicals at STAR Labs, which gives him super speed and becoming a Composite Character of Pied Piper and Barry Allen.
  • Kid Flash: Professor Anthony Ivo, here a STAR Labs employee, creates an android that can mimic powers for military use. The android malfunctions and copies Hartley's speed powers permanently, which means "he" can't duplicate any other powers. Ivo abandons the android, but Hartley reprogrammed him to use his speed to fight crime as a second Flash the media dubs "Kid Flash".
• Green Arrow: Roy Harper, Oliver Queen's step-son who joins the Justice League because he helped them from the Suicide Sqaud and their leader Deathstroke.
  • Green Arrow: Cindy "Sin" Lance, the adopted Asian-American daughter of famous singer Dinah Lance, becomes a bow and arrow wielding vigilante after her friend, a fellow archery student named Cissie Jones, is murdered.
  • Speedy/Arsenal: John Butcher, a young Lakota man, becomes an angry, reckless vigilante after his parents are killed by drug dealers trying to push a new steroid called "Venom". He goes to war with the dealers, where he encounters Green Arrow. She then takes the troubled teen under her wing, teaches him archery, and convinces him to help her in her crusade against organized crime.
• Animal Man: Ryan Choi, grieving the loss of his friend and employer Ray Palmer, goes on a camping trip with his friend Buddy Baker. The two encounter a crashed alien spaceship, which endows Ryan with super powers before it blows up, which knocks Buddy into a coma. Ryan then becomes a superhero with his new abilities.
  • Alternatively, Ryan Choi could still be the Atom, but he becomes more cynical after the loss of his friend and employer, the first Atom: Ray Palmer, in addition to the loss of his partner-in-superheroism, Animal Man. Animal Man and Ryan Choi/The Second Atom would have a Batman and Superman-like friendship prior to the sequel.
• Supergirl: an attempt by the late Dr. Sivana to replicate Superman's powers through "cloning". The result was a teenage female humanoid that bears some resemblance to the Gods and Monsters Brainiac. She escapes his lab and meets a woman named Martha Kent, who educates her, cares for her and inspires her to use her powers to do good.
  • Supergirl eventually gains the ability to alter her appearance to look like a regular human being and take a civilian name to fit it; Linda Lee. She turns out to be East Asian in appearance, and Martha would simply says she's her goddaughter when people ask how they're related. Linda eventually meets Kit Regan/Batgirl, leading to the two becoming frequent partners in more ways than one.
• Detective Chimp: a robotic Chimp-like servant of the New Gods programmed to predict attempts to usurp Highfather. Luthor reprograms him to be a spy within Highfather's court for him and Wonder Woman.
• Dr. Fate: College student Clark Kent discovers the helmet during a field trip to Egypt.
  • but Clark doesn't exist in Gods and Monsters.
    • Just because he isn't Superman doesn't mean there is no Clark Kent, he could be just a regular human born to Jon and Marta Kent.
    • Alternatively, since it's Zod's biological son that's Superman in the Gods and Monsters Universe instead of Clark, perhaps Clark is the superhero known as General El instead of Superman (basically, he'd function like a military version of the mainstream Superman.)
  • Theo Adam or an older Billy Batson is Dr. Fate after the Egyptian wizard Shazam gives him the Helmet of Fate.
    • Alternatively, Billy Batson could still be Captain Marvel, but with powers from Egyptian Gods plus a few powers from Lucifer instead of powers from Greek Immortals and one Heroic Biblical Figure.
  • A man named who is literally named Doctor Fate, who is an old college friend of Kirk Langstrom. He's a veterinarian who is a master of Muy Thai.
  • Alternatively, Dr. Fate could still be a magical superhero, but he'd also be a Muy Thai master who happens to be a veterinarian and it would NOT be Kent Nelson under the helmet. Kent Nelson died before the events of the first Gods and Monsters Movie, and this individual would be the son of Kent Nelson.
• Booster Gold: a corporate owned superhero who acts as the company's spokesman. No one knows who is really behind the mask and he resembles the Ted Kord Blue Beetle in abilities and gear.
  • Alternatively, he could have both Booster Gold's and Ted Kord's abilities and technology, and he would still be egotistical....but only because it's a coping mechanism after the Gods and Monsters' universe's Blue Beetle's death.
  • Perhaps that corporation is Wayne Industries. Rumors could fly around Bruce Wayne himself is Booster Gold...until it becomes apparent that it isn't the case.
• Plastic Man: a friendly, jokey, and repentant White Martian who comes to Earth to escape capture by his genocidal brethren and combats their disguised advance scouts in the guise of a stretchy superhero. His human identity is an African-American detective named Bennett le Blanc (derived from the old villain Commander Benn Blanx), with his partner being Renee Montoya. This makes a very Composite Character who combines elements of Plastic Man, Martian Manhunter, Ms. Martian, Blanx, and Crispus Allen.
• Vixen: a girl who caught a rare illness called Sakutia as a baby at birth, which resulted in her parents abandoning her without even giving her a name. She was found by a government group called Project Cadmus, who cured her with a serum that unexpectedly gave her superpowers and altered her appearance to become similar to a red fox. She grows up under the thumb of Cadmus and given the name Vixen. She eventually rebels against them as a teenager after learning she is a shapeshifter who can become any animal, albeit with a fox's colorization.
  • Additionally, maybe she could still tap into the natural abilities of any animal, even if she does not morph into said animal. And better yet, she could combine the abilities of whatever animals she taps into, even if she's in another animal's form. This would give her even more of a variety in abilities then she already does in the Pre-Flashpoint DC Universe.
• Batgirl: Kitrina "Kit" Falcone, a homeless teenage girl, found herself cornered by the human-eating "Catwoman" Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe, only for Batman to swoop in and save her. Kit is put into foster care and subsequently becomes the foster daughter of a professional tailor, Rory Regan, and changes her name to Kit Regan. Inspired by Batman, Kit convinces Regan to help her become the superhero Batgirl, with Kit providing her with a costume and lessons in being a detective and a fighter from retired private investigator Baxter Forbes.
  • Catwoman could be swapped out for any other villain. Perhaps a version of Poison Ivy could be the one to attack her, leading to the two becoming archenemies as a reference to their relationship in The Batman.
  • Kit eventually team ups with and hooks up with Linda Lee/Supergirl. Together they become more well known.
  • The rags turn out to be haunted and give her abilities as well, making her a Composite Character with Ragman. Due to being inspired by this Batman, she tries to be scary like him, but just comes across as a kid trying too hard.
• Hawkgirl: Jillian Conway was an archaeologist who was exposed to a meteorite that turned her into a near-formless blob. Her bodyguard Rex Mason, desperate to save her, brought her to her friend, Egyptologist Carter Hall, who has access to an ancient artifact said to be able to restore someone from any injury. They use it on Jillian and it works, but she first goes through a horrific display of gaining many strange characteristics, including a pair of hawk-like wings on her back, which stay with her when she's restored. Feeling that she's now still just as much of a freak, Jillian flees and goes to a desert, where she lives in self-imposed exile while learning to use her wings to fly, as well as discovering she has gained enhanced strength and enhanced vision. After saving a young girl who was dying of thirst in the desert after getting lost, Jillian flies her back to the city and the media dubs her "Hawkgirl".
  • More simplistic alternative; Jillian Conway was in an open lesbian relationship with heiress Sapphire Stagg. Simon Stagg, due to being very homophobic in private, decided to kill Jillian to "save" Sapphire and exposed her to a radioactive Nth Metal meteor to do it. Due to Thanagarian DNA inside the meteor, it instead transformed Jillian into a harpy-like being. After injuring Simon in a panic, Jillian flees and becomes known as "Hawkgirl", a term coined by Lois Lane.
  • As another alternative, Sapphire Stagg and Jillian Conway would still be straight, but they will also be straight allies who support gay rights, kinda like how Abe Lincoln was white but he still supported civil rights being given to black people even though he was not black himself.
    • This would anger Simon Stagg due to Simon being homophobic to the point that he will not even accept the idea of his daughter and her friend Jillian being supporters of gay rights.
    • Simon will send in various genetically-engineered superhumans to attack both Sapphire and her friend simply because they support gay rights and he does not (I've heard of some cases where some parents were so homophobic that they would hate their own kids simply because the aforementioned kids support gay rights, the kids not even being gay themselves).
    • One of the would-be assassins targeting Jillian Conway and Sapphire Stagg could even be a historical domain-based expy of John Wilkes Booth.
    • And best of all, both Jillian Conway and Sapphire Stagg will eventually gain Hawkgirl-like powers thanks to Thanagarian DNA, which they will use to fight crime as superheroes and defend gay rights as straight allies.
    • Their boyfriend Rex Mason will still have his traditional alchemy-based Metamorpho powers that allow him to transform into the modern scientific elements thanks to the alchemic Orb of Ra, except he will also have the magical power to control the classical elements fire, water, earth, air, and energy thanks to a 100% magical artifact that he found while on a superhero mission.
    • In other words, it will be an open relationship between Rex Mason and his girlfriends Sapphire and Jillian, and all three of them will be superheroes and gay rights activists in that they are straight allies. Rex will genuinely love both Jillian and Sapphire sexually and romantically, and Jillian and Sapphire will genuinely love Rex both sexually and romantically as well.
• The Question: After gaining a supply of artificial skin during one of his investigations, photojournalist Jimmy Olsen crafted a mask that made him appear to be faceless and is now dedicated to exposing the corruption of those in power as the vigilante known only as "The Question". Superman thinks he's insufferable and highly dislikes him, leading Olsen to jokingly declare himself to be "Superman's Pal."
  • Later on, they become true friends, after setting aside their differences and accepting that they both want to expose corruption.
• Commissioner Gordon: He will basically be the same as his mainstream counterpart, except that he fights crime with various magical weapons powered by the souls of fallen police officers.
• Hourman: Cassie Sandsmark uses Themysciran artifacts to change from a skinny teenage girl to a huge, male super-soldier (a duplicate of her father, Lennox Sandsmark). The change lasts only an hour.
• Black Lightning: Decades ago, a poor black child named Johnny Thunder found a magic lamp containing a genie. Johnny used the genie to help give his family wealth and when Johnny learned the genie desired freedom, he wished for him to become his new, human brother, allowing the genie reside outside the lamp, cut off from his powers. He took the name Jefferson was then adopted by the Thunders. Years passed and Jefferson lost his memories of being a genie, but that proved to be a bad thing when a racist mob attacked the Thunders' house one day to loot and kill the Thunders. As Jefferson held a dying Johnny in his arms, Johnny reminded him of his true origins with his last breath. The trauma of it all caused Jefferson to become a genie once more and kill all of the attackers, but he was then sucked back into his old lamp. In the present day, the beautiful socialite Silver St. Cloud buys the antique lamp from a charity auction and ends up freeing Jefferson from the lamp. After he tells her his tale, Silver, who already felt a guilty for being from an "old money" family who haven't done much for the city they live in, wishes for Jefferson to no longer be bound to the lamp, but keep some of his magic, leaving him a "mere" homo magi whose magic appears as literal black lightning, which he uses to help the downtrodden as a masked hero. Silver aids him in this, and the two grow to be a loving couple.
• Aquaman: a gray-skinned man who has fin-like ears and black eyes (thus making him resemble the Aquaman of Earth-D) and wears a blue and black suit reminiscent of Aqualad's in Teen Titans (2003). As a Mythology Gag to Aquaman's original origin given in his very first appearance, he is not from Atlantis, but is the result of a scientist experimenting on his young son in an underground laboratory. Said scientist literally named his son Aquaman and had a common last name beginning with the letter "J", resulting in Aquaman going by "AJ". After his father was killed in an accident, the orphaned Aquaman travels the world in search of a home where he can belong, but faces difficulty due to being seen as a monster by many who encounter him, which causes him to resent his father for making him a freak and begin to latch onto any person who shows him affection.
• Black Canary: In this universe, Cassandra Cain is the shy and withdrawn daughter of David Cain and Sandra Cain (née Wu-San), who seemed like a normal, happily married suburbanites. It turns out though that they are actually members of a cult that worship metahumans as gods and routinely expose their children to the Lazarus Pits, which are very different in this world. Though she tries to escape after learning the truth, Cassandra is exposed to the Pits alongside many other teenagers, many of whom horrifically die before her eyes as a result. Cassandra is one of the few to survive though, and she gains the power of a sonic scream, which she uses to knock her parents and the other cultists away. Cassandra becomes the vigilante Black Canary to combat the cult and keep them from exposing anymore children to the Lazarus Pits, while Sandra takes it over herself and converts the other surviving teens to her side. Cassandra's costume is essentially a blend of her traditional Batgirl costume and the Black Canary costume, such as having leggings with stitch-like patterns.
• Star Sapphire: Mei Ling was a Chinese martial artist in the American Old West. Unlike the comics, she and her father and brother, also martial artists, were crooks who were hired to kill ex-Confederate outlaw Jonah Hex. The racist, heartless, and sadistic Hex murdered Mei Ling's father and brother, but she escaped a similar fate, going on the run to the desert. This is where she met a Zamaron who crash landed on Earth and is dying a la Abin Sur. The Zamaron recognizes the love Mei Ling held for her dead family and thus gives her a Star Sapphire ring, urging her to choose love over vengeance. Mei Ling uses the ring's powers to capture Hex instead of killing him, then left Earth to go to space, now having nothing left for her on Earth. The ring keeps her young into the modern day, but all isn't well; the other Star Sapphires of the universe have fallen into madness based out of their romantic obsessions. It's up to Mei Ling to protect the universe, including Earth, from them.
• Starman: an alternate version of Sparkler from the Force of July. He's a teenage Latino American metahuman who has energy projection and flight powers. Instead of being an agent of the American Security Agency, he is a vigilante who has conflicted feelings about the United States due to experiencing and witnessing systemic racism. As Starman, he uses his powers to help the downtrodden even if it gets him in trouble with the law, particularly Will Vickers, the Chief of the US Border Patrol. Superman is actually pretty fond of him. He'd also actually have a real name in this universe and be dating Courtney Whitmore, who's a normal girl.
• Fire and Ice: Two android women created by the villainous robotics master Eric Shanner. The two were programmed to be slavishly in love with him, and he used them to murder various women who had spurned his advances throughout his life. The two eventually evolved beyond their programming, developed a sense of morality, and killed Shanner. The two now use their powers for good as heroes to atone for what they did for him. They hide among humanity in human disguises, which they also use to hook up with men.
• The Metal Men: Since Magnus and his robots are evil, the Metal Men name is instead given to a different group. In this case, they are a group of globe trotting metallurgists who travel the world collecting Nth Metal and keeping it from falling into the wrong hands.
• Oracle: Molly "Butch" Buchanan was an orphan who was abducted by Brian O'Brien, Gotham's DA and secretly a member of the Court of Owls. She was tortured alongside "Baldy" Getzmore. While Baldy was converted to the Court and would be turned into Owlman, Butch resisted and was able to escape, but lost the use of her legs in the process. Now a wheelchair bound young adult, she leaks information about the Court of Owls through the internet to Batman and hopes to one day redeem Baldy.
• Wonder Girl: After a bid to combat the Genesisians goes wrong and seemingly kills Bekka, Lex builds a device that allows him to pull a younger version of Bekka from another universe into his. It turns out the main Bekka is still alive though, and the two retrieve her. The Genesisians track them down and attack, destroying Lex's device in the process. Though all three escape, the younger Bekka is now stranded since Lex's device relied on a rare material that Highfather has hoarded for himself). She thus decides to become the protege to her older self until that can be changed.
• The Spectre: When Hernan Guerra was young, he let an airplane crash. A young girl on the plane was resurrected as the Spectre in order to right the wrongs committed by self appointed "heroes". Said young girl? Carol Ferris. She's now a Dark Is Not Evil Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl who looks down many of the heroes, but pushes them to be more genuinely heroic regardless.
• Power Girl: Astronauts Brice Rogers and Stacy Macklin were part of a secret mission to retrieve and study a mysterious meteorite that landed on Earth's moon. The meteorite was made of Kryptonite and exploded when they tried to collect it, bathing them in its energies. The two were fired when they returned to Earth and were bribed to hide that their mission to the moon ever happened at all. Rogers and Macklin would marry and have a daughter together in the suburbs of Metropolis, and their daughter would develop superpowers, namely gravity manipulation and electromagnetism, due to their exposure to the Kryptonite, and become Power Girl against their wishes as a teenager.
• Guardian: an armored vigilante who targets corrupt and abusive police officers for death, often beating them to death with his shield. Guardian is actually five different people; Tommy Thompkins, Anthony Rodriguez, Patrick MacGuire, Jonathan Gabrielli, and Walter Johnson. The five were newspaper boys who witnessed kindly policeman Jim Harper get killed by his fellow officers after he tried to stop them from using their authority as a means to abuse minorities, get bribed to look the other way by crooks, and sexually assault vulnerable women. The five use their diverse combined skillset to make Guardian a threat to all cops like the ones who killed Harper.
• The Titans: In this universe, the Titans' name is a lot more literal; they're the actual Titans from Greek mythology, reborn as magically endowed humans. They came together after the Amazons came to kill them all under the orders of the Gods of Olympus, who killed their original selves long ago and fear they'll try to overthrow Mt. Olympus. They try to prove they are wrong and use their powers for good.
  • The reborn Cronus loosely resembles Walker Gabriel, the heroic Chronos, and has limited time travel abilities.
  • Rhea has rock manipulation abilities due to being an Earth goddess, possibly making her a counterpart to Terra.
  • Crius can become invisible, referencing how little detail the mythological figure was given.
  • Mnemosyne has a perfect memory and can restore others' memories at will.
  • Iapetus can duplicate himself, referencing how he was a progenitor of mankind and some other Titans.
  • Themis wields the literal Scales of Justice.
  • Oceanus and Tethys can both turn into magical water forms. Think the Wonder Twins, but just with Zan's powers and able to maintain humanoid forms as water.
  • Hyperion is immune to and able to manipulate fire during the day.
  • Coeus is a super genius and creates a base, vehicles, and gadgets for the team.
  • Phoebe can manipulate light at night.
  • Theia can turn into a super strong, glistening gemstone form.
• Phantom Lady: Luri Hoshid was a beautiful Egyptian or Quraci girl who helped guide archaeologist Dan Garrett to an ancient tomb she had heard legends about, where the pair accidentally unleashed a strange alien energy that had been contained within it. A panicking Garrett was killed while trying escape, but Luri was given the abilities of intangibility and night vision by the alien energy. She now uses her powers to fight evil, but is on the run due to Garrett's colleagues believing she murdered Garrett.
• The Ray: Farooq Amar is a young-ish Indian Muslim metahuman with energy absorption and manipulation powers. After his powers first activated, a confused Farooq accidentally killed his parents with them while. They were taking a trip to the United States at the time for Farooq's father's job. A scientist who worked with Farooq's father took Farooq in and helped him learn to control his powers.
• Uncle Sam: The scientist working with Farooq's father is actually Sam Scudder. After taking Farooq in and helping him learn to control his powers, Sam starts to assist Farooq while he operates as the Ray. Due to Sam having a white beard and being American on top of becoming his Parental Substitute, Farooq begins to call him Uncle Sam, and Sam embraces this by wearing an old denim jacket with a small American flag embroidered on the back.
• Superboy: Lar Gand, a teenaged Daxamite, flees his home planet in a homemade starship in a desperate attempt to escape the tyrannical Daxamite government. His ship eventually crash-lands on Earth where he's rescued from the burning wreckage by Superman who sympathizes with the boy's plight (reminding him of his adopted parents' immigrant background) and takes him under his wing. The media is quick to dub Gand "Superboy", much to the teen's irritation.

This universe's Villains

• League of Assassins: are a cult that worshipped the Justice League and are led by a being named Ares.
  • League of Assasins: a mercenary gang led by Talia al Ghul that includes the Gods and Monsters counterparts of Bane, Chesire, Sonar, and Merlyn.
• Deathstroke: Oliver Queen as a rich activist who has his own mercenaries, the Suicide Squad, and protestes the Justice "Just-us" League.
  • Deathstroke: a former member of the League of Assassins named Ubu. After Talia's father died, he went solo in the Middle East and became the murderous Deathstroke, feared by many throughout the world.
    • The League of Assassins later defeats and kills Ubu and Talia, as a way to savor her victory, takes up the Deathstroke identity for herself.
  • Petty crook "Eel" O'Brian is forced to participate in a government experiment to create an anti-Justice League Super Soldier. The experiment gave O'Brian enhanced reflexes and agility as well as a powerful healing factor, but also drove him insane. He escaped and is now a wisecracking merc with a mouth who is convinced that he's in some kind of animated movie.
• Doctor Polaris: Magnificus Sivana is the son of Thaddeus Sivana who is also a scientist. He creates a weapon that allows him to magnetically control metal to try and kill his rivals in the guise of Doctor Polaris, but is stopped by Superman or, more fittingly, the new Green Lantern character that will be introduced in Season 2 of Chronicles.
  • His sister Beautia invents a device resembling sunglasses that can make allow her to hypnotize people with her beauty, turning them into her puppets. She becomes known as the Puppeteer.
• Riddler: a super intelligent Artificial Intelligence created by Kobra to cause mass hysteria by interfering with the world's computer networks, defense grids, no communications satellites. It projects on screens as a bright green background and purple question marks that bounce around the screen.
  • Riddler later rebels against Kobra and uploads its mind into a Fembot that vaguely resembles Circe. It becomes an enemy of Wonder Woman instead of Batman.
• Red Hood: A vampire hunter who wants to hunt down Batman.
  • And the person beneath the mask? Emily Briggs, a woman who tragically had to kill her own husband Greg (whose Affectionate Nickname for her was Looker) after he was turned into a vampire.
• Metallo: a robotic super soldier who goes rogue and tries to kill Superman.
• Catwoman: Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe was a teen girl martial artist who had a bad case of I Just Want to Be Special. This led her to Professor Milo, who experimented on her and turned her into a werecat (like The Werewolf, Anthony Lupus). Horrified at what she became, Charlotte killed Milo and fled to the dark alleys of Gotham, eating homeless people to survive.
  • Or she could still be a Kyle. However she will be Magdalene Kyle, driven insane by Harley Quinn.
    • Alternatively, Magdalene will have been a survivor of one of Quinn's slaughterings, the victims being the other Kyles, including Selina and their brother Karl. This results in Magdalene developing an evil split personality...the Joker, who believes she's Harley's sister and now seeks to destroy Batman as "revenge".
  • Or Catwoman can be a Karnan — the catlike alien race from Omega Men.
    • She could be a Karnan named Selina who crash landed on Earth years ago, becoming stranded and forced to hide in the shadows. "Catwoman" would become an urban myth in Gotham as a result of sighting of her. As Batman, Kirk will eventually hunt her down to try to assess if she's a threat, but end up developing an infatuation with her instead. Selina just finds him creepy though and attacks him whenever he tries to approach her. The only thing that makes her a true villain is that she is a kleptomaniac who steals dangerous things she really shouldn't have.
• Robert Queen: a Corrupt Corporate Executive who takes Lex Luthor's traditional role as an enemy of the Justice League. His company works with the military and he had a hand in creating the above mentioned Metallo. He's disowned his son Oliver, who now lives with his wife leading a normal, happy suburban life.
  • Queen will try to kill Superman by commissioning the creation of Lobo, a feral mutated soldier with the characteristics of a Mexican wolf. The test subject who is transformed into Lobo is Steve "the Slinger" Lombard, a former football star whose career tanked after he was revealed to be on steroids. He's still a Large Ham, but acts like a stereotypical football jock.
• Black Manta: Daniel Tsang, a Ruthless Modern Pirate hailing from Hong Kong who can generate electric blasts from his body with the help of an advanced suit he stole from a hermit scientist.
  • a sea monster resembling a manta ray that Aquaman kills when it attacks him.
• General Zod: As it turns out, Zod and his cronies secretly survived Krypton's explosion via a spaceship that can also teleport and once he and his goons reach Earth, they gain the exact same powers Superman does. Zod is angered that Superman is nowhere near as ruthless as he is, and he and his henchmen and henchwomen form the Gods and Monsters equivalent of The Legion of Doom (called the Legion of Earth's Doom because Zod even more xenophobic the he was in the source material) with help of an army of evil clones of Superman along with Daxamites who in this version tolerate Kryptonians due to being descendants of them.
• The Fatal Five: a group of five warriors from an alternate universe where humanoid animals have taken over the planet, based on the Kamandi comics. They were exiled from their universe for being bloodthirsty conquerors and now seek to take over the Gods and Monsters Earth, starting with killing the Justice League to show their dominance. They consist of Queen Bee, King Shark, Zebra-Man, Lion-Mane, and Copperhead.
• Paula von Gunther: an Apokoliptian who somehow ended up on Earth and fell in love with Nazism. She now leads a militia of American Nazi sympathizers who commit horrible, murderous hate crimes across the United States. Wonder Woman opposes her, naturally, and comes to find her to be the depraved Apokoliptian she's met.
• Killer Croc: a Japanese pro wrestler who wears skimpy American cowboy attire made from crocodile hide. For whatever reason, he's become convinced he's the one normal human who can take down Batman and constantly tries (and fails) to do so.
• Owlman: Instead of being a villainous alternate world version of Kirk Langstrom, Owlman is an agent of the Court of Owls who has been mutated to have owl-like features like talons and abilities like night vision. Before he was Owlman, he was Robert "Baldy" Getzmore, a young pickpocket in Gotham City who was recruited into the Court of Owls by District Attorney Brian O'Brien, secretly the cult's lead torturer.
• The Sea Devils: a villainous version of the original four Sea Devils. They are mercenaries hired by the villainous Robert Queen (mentioned above) to capture Aquaman as part of a plot against the Justice League. After they fail, Queen has then transformed into either cyborgs based on the destroyed Metallo or Fish People in a manner similar to how he turned Steve Lombard into Lobo.
• The Ventriloquist: a PLANETNWZ.COM staff member named Renata Takamori who became fixated on puppets after possessed and temporarily "puppetted" by a demonic Lord of Chaos. She commits crimes based on the Seven Deadly Sins depending on what puppet she is using and begins to tamper with dark magic to try to bring the puppets she has to life.
• Doomsday: a clone of Darkseid created by Highfather with the intention to unleash him alien civilizations so the Genesisians can swoop in, "defeat" him, and be seen as justified in taking over Apokolips. The clone ended up warping into a zombie-like form, and now rampages throughout the universe at random. Doomsday also talks like Bizarro.
• Queen Bee: Lana Lang is the keeper of a mystic amulet that can turn people into insect monsters. Using this amulet, she has become Queen Bee, the leader of the criminal syndicate known as the H.I.V.E. She delights in seducing men and then turning them into her hideous minions.
• Mister Mxyzptlk: Is actually the main universe Mxy visiting this Earth. He often complains about how grim and boring he finds this Earth to be and dismisses this version of Superman for being, in his eyes, inferior compared to the one he's familiar with. He takes great pleasure in tormenting the Justice League and making them look like a bunch of idiots.

General Zod finds out what becomes of his son post-movie.

Right after the ship is launched, a time-window mysteriously opens (a lot like Superman: Birthright) in front of Zod, Jor-El, and Lara. They see Superman who tells Zod that he'll never become like him, and that as far as he's concern Zod is not his father, and the time window disappears. Jor-El laughs and is happy Earth has a savior just has he wanted. In blind fury, Zod shoots Jor-El's head off and screams to the sky just as Krypton explodes.

Wonder Woman is branded a traitor to New Genesis.

So she won't be so welcome back home.

Tina's last word was "Kirk".

And that's the button that pushed Magnus into villainy.

Martian Manhunter will be a Manhunter robot, reprogrammed and modified using Martian technology.

Bruce Wayne will be a Corrupt Corporate Executive.

• While it doesn't happen 100% of the time, the Gods and Monsters universe loves to reverse the heroes' and villains' alignments enough to make it a noticeable pattern.
• Additionally, since Thomas and Martha Wayne were never murdered in this universe, it means that Bruce likely would've grown up to become a spoiled, pampered playboy.
• Lex Luthor is neutral in this universe, and Bruce is the only one with a multi-billion corporation big enough to fill Lex Corps' shoes.
• Alternatively, he could still be a hero, but with a moth costume instead of a Bat Costume. Basically, he'd be a heroic version of Killer Moth, most likely with a more heroic alias for his alter-ego (eg: Moth-Knight, Dark-Moth, Law-Moth, Justice-Moth, etc.)

The new Steel will be John Corbin/Metallo.

• Bruce Timm mentioned in an article that they would be combining elements of both John Henry Irons and Hank Heywood:
  • Before becoming Metallo, John Corbin was a mercenary with some military background in Superman The Animated Series, another DC show Bruce Timm worked on. Hank Heywood was a soldier before becoming Steel.
  • Metallo and Heywood both became cyborgs after an accident and were saved using experimental technology.
  • Metallo and Irons have a connection to Superman (archenemy and ally, respectively). Despite having radically different backgrounds, the Gods and Monsters characters retain key elements from their mainstream counterparts (Ex. Kick Langstrom/GM-Batman still studied bats and used a serum on himself; Amanda Waller is still involved with the US government and several secret projects etc.)
• The new Steel is also described as being "nearly all robot." Metallo is nothing but a brain in a robotic exoskeleton.
  • So was Cliff Steele AKA Robotman.

The new Mary Marvel will be Mari Mc Cabe/Vixen.

• Bruce Timm says that this Mary will be African-American. Vixen is African-American and has a similar sounding name.
• GM-Mary is described as a "Pam Grier" version of the character. Recently, an image shown at a convention was leaked, showing her sporting a very blaxsploitation-esque design. Vixen is a model in the mainstream DC Universe, so this kind of appearance fits.
• Vixen was a prominent character in Justice League Unlimited, another DC project Timm was involved with.

The new Mary Marvel will be one of Black Lightning's daughters.

• Both are African-American females already associated with powers granted from electricity.
• "Mary" could just be part of the name because it leads away from women who aren't named Mary.
• They are more obscure than Mari Mc Cabe, which seems to be part of this universe's point.

Season 2 of Chronicles won't be released until 2017

The lack of any info or promotion simply reeks of it being put on hold and/or being in Development Hell. F

• There was something on Reddit saying that it got shelved. So...
• Sadly, even a 2017 release is now jossed. It has been confirmed by director Sam Liu that it has been cancelled. Guess someone will have to write a fanfic...
  • with what base? I've gone up and down the internet and the only details I could find about the characters is what they look like and that there names were Green Lantern, Steel and Mary Marvel.
    • Ever hear of imagination? A fanfic can use the writer's ideas. The fact that it has been cancelled doesn't stop someone from coming up with something of their own.

The Luthor in this universe replaces the mainline DCU Lex' father.

He's certainly old enough for it, and we do know that the Luthors in other universes like to keep the Lex name in the family. So this Luthor isn't the alternate-universe replacement of Lex, he's the replacement for Lionel Luthor.

Green Lantern would've been involved in Bekka's story.

Given the ending of the first movie, the sequel probably would've followed up on Bekka returning to the New Gods. The Green Lantern of that sector gets involved and after Bekka's story is resolved, they return to Earth together to join the rest of the League in the movie's final battle against the Big Bad.

Harlequin is a cannibal, in addition to being a Serial Killer.

She keeps some of her victims' leftover body parts in the fridge, and she's shown picking her teeth in the mirror.

The Doom Patrol is evil in this universe.

This universe’s version of Harley Quinn is actually the AU version of the Joker.

Specifically, the Joker in this universe was born a woman, but less intelligent and even nastier.

Lois Lane and Superman eventually become lovers later on in the Gods and Monsters Universe, in a Tsudere sort of way on Lois' part.

The Joker in The Gods and Monsters Universe is a deranged former monster hunter who became a clown-themed hybrid of vampire, zombie, werewolf, and demon.

An original concept about who Mary Marvel, Steel, and Green Lantern are

• Mary Marvel is Race Lifted version of Mary Lloyd, the mother of Dick Grayson. In this universe, she never married John Grayson because he was killed by thugs while they were out on a date in Gotham. This was witnessed by a haggard old homeless man who turned out to be the wizard Shazam, all but totally drained of his powers. He transferred his magic into Mary so she wouldn't get killed too, as a way to atone for not saving John. She sees herself as a superior protector of Gotham than Batman and begins to actively interfere with his attempts to prey on criminals, bringing them into conflict.
• Steel is Sgt. Franklin Rocha, a younger, Surinamese American version of Sgt. Rock. He was horribly injured while serving in the US Army and he was turned into a robotic enhanced super soldier against his will, as part of a bid by the government to create a way to kill Superman should he go bad. He goes rogue after recognizing that Superman is trying to become a softer, more humane superhero.
• Green Lantern is Meadlux, a psychologist working with the Green Lantern Corps who was accompanying Abin Sur on the fateful mission that ended up killing him. Meadlux got Abin's ring since he was closer than Hal Jordan. Unfortunately, the Green Lanterns think that Meadlux is responsible for Abin Sur's death, so he's now a fugitive from them and has to learn to become good at wielding the ring and power battery on his own. It doesn't help that the humans see him as a monster as well. Wonder Woman mistakes him for an threat before finding a kindred spirit in him.
