Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Joker, and more are dinosaurs in Jurassic League - no, really

Once upon a time, Batman was a monster truck. But as it turns out, that’s not the weirdest version of the Dark Knight out there, as DC has announced Jurassic League (via Polygon), a new six-issue series that reimagines the entire Justice League, including Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman and villains like the Joker, as dinosaurs in a world of evolved prehistoric creatures.
