Rumor has it, James Gunn and Peter Safran are cooking up something dino-mite at DC Studios – an animated flick featuring a prehistoric twist on the Justice League! But here’s the burning question: is this epic dino-tacular adventure part of the DCU, or is it strutting its scales in Elseworlds territory?
Unexpected News Alert: Jeff Sneider, the man who traded his trade reporting hat for online scoops, has dropped a bombshell! Get ready to witness the dino-might of the century because an animated movie starring the one and only Jurassic League is reportedly in the works at DC Studios.
And guess who’s at the helm? None other than the mastermind himself, James Gunn, taking on the role of producer. But that’s not all – Brian Lynch, the genius behind Minions and Puss In Boots, is penning the script. Buckle up, folks, because this dino-fueled adventure is about to take you on a wild ride!
So, how did this dino-rific idea come about? Well, it seems writer Daniel Warren Johnson and illustrator Juan Gedeon hatched this Jurassic masterpiece not too long ago. Their brainchild, a six-issue miniseries that hit shelves from May through October in 2022, introduced us to the mighty Jurassic League.
What’s the scoop on this prehistoric team, you ask? Picture this: The official synopsis for the hardcover that collects all six issues reads, “You know the story: an infant escapes a far-off planet before it explodes and is deposited on Earth to be raised by human parents. A goddess from a lost city defends truth. A Tyrannosaurus rex dons the visage of a bat to strike fear into evildoers’ hearts. This heroic trinity, alongside a league of other super-powered dinosaurs, join forces to save a prehistoric Earth from the sinister machinations of Darkseid.
Wait…what? Okay, maybe you don’t know the story. So join us and bear witness to a brand-new—yet older than time—adventure and experience the Justice League as you have never seen them before!“
In this uproarious comic series, Earth-27 introduces us to a squad of prehistoric heroes who serve as the Justice League’s parallel counterparts. Picture this: Wonderdon, the Triceratops warrior princess straight outta Amazonia, who’s a spitting image of Wonder Woman! Then we’ve got Batsaur, an Allosaurus who dons a cape and battles crime by moonlight, giving a whole new meaning to the term ‘Jurassic Knight.’ Last but not least, meet Brachiosaurus-Supersaur, the Superman-like sauropod who’s the last of his kind, bringing a whole lot of dino-power to the team!
But wait, there’s more! Aquanyx, Flashraptor, and Green Torch eventually join the dino-themed Trinity, making for a dino-mite lineup that’s sure to leave you roaring for more!
Now, the burning question on everyone’s mind: will this animated feature be canon to the DCU, or is it destined for an Elseworlds spinoff? While fans eagerly await confirmation from the likes of James Gunn or Warner Bros., speculation runs rampant like a stampede of velociraptors.
And let’s not forget the big question: will this dino-tastic adventure hit the big screen or make its home on the digital waves of Max? With Gunn’s vision for the DCU encompassing everything from film to television to animation (hello, Creature Commandos!), it’s anyone’s guess how this anthropomorphic take on the Justice League fits into the current Gods and Monsters lineup.
