DC's Jungle League is a Team of Damn Heroic Apes

DC Comics sure likes releasing goofy alternate takes on the Justice League. Last year, they were mech pilots, and not long before that, they were anthropomorphic dinosaurs. Next up on the gimmick list? Why apes, of course!

Earlier in the week, the publisher announced Jungle League, which isn’t some spiritual sequel to JLApe: Gorilla Warfare, but an all-ape team consisting of DC’s primate heroes. In this case, our roster consists of Detective Chimp, Gleek from the Wonder Twins (yes, really), Beppo the Super-Monkey, Sam Simeon, and the relatively new Monkey Prince hero. According to the pun-heavy logline, our heroes will be going up against a revived Legion of Doom headed up by Monsieur Mallah, Ultra-Humanite, and other fairly well-known monkey villains from the DC pantheon that have assembled after Gorilla Grodd got himself beaten by the Flash yet again.
