Justice League: Doom (2012)

Justice League: Doom has one of the best storylines of any DC animated movie I've seen thus far and that makes it stand out from the rest.It tells the story of a congregation of super villians who mastermind a plan to steal Batmans files on the Justice League in order to pick them off. Those files being the secret ones he holds on each members weaknesses and his plans to take them down should they turn bad.With the excellent Kevin Conroy as Batman, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern and the sultry voice of Claudia Black as Cheetah the cast is top notch.The story plays out well though the finale returns to the usual tropes. This could have benefitted from additional time, perhaps even up to another 30 minutes.Regardless this is a good effort though I still think the DC animated movies should become a "Universe" like the live action and retain a bit of consistency.The Good:Fantastic voice talentExcellent plotThe Bad:Why does Bane look so weird in these things?Things I Learnt From This Movie:Explosions kill but leave no marks, even when it's practically going off in a persons faceI still can't take the name Legion Of Doom seriouslyI agree with Batman

Now when I pick up Justice League: Doom I didn't know if it was based off the TV series which I haven't seen so much of sadly. But I didn't let that stop me from enjoying this film. How could you not enjoy seeing your favorite DC heroes like Batman, Superman, Wonder-Woman, The Flash and others all joining forces into one film? The Plot centers around the Justice League as they soon face off against The Legion Of Doom lead by Vandal Savage.What is impressive about this film is the story that is better enjoy when you watch the film because there are a lot of plot twists and unexpected moments while you watch it. Also the characters are very well developedThe Animation for the film is very well done and impressive it's rare to find such high quality animation now of days attention to detail went into this film with good background and effects in the film are very well doneThe voice acting is superb and you can feel the performances from the cast they just deliver for the voice work as well they just gave some of the best work ever in a animation filmAnd the music being well done to tell the story of the filmJustice League: Doom is a thrill ride with tense action scenes and a character driven story that you really want to pay attention to it will leave you in aw If you are a fan of the Justice League do yourself a favor and watch this film.I give Justice League: Doom an 8 out of 10

Vandal Savage steals Batman's files on his Justice League teammates and uses them to learn the weaknesses of the heroes. He then sends the Legion of Doom to take out the Justice League one by one. Entertaining animated DC movie adapted from the comic book story "Tower of Babel." Some things were changed, of course. For instance, Hal Jordan and Cyborg were shoehorned into things because DC wants them to be a big deal these days. Most importantly, in the comic it was Batman villain Ra's Al Ghul behind everything. Here it's Vandal Savage and the Legion of Doom.The voicework is mostly good. It's great to see Kevin Conroy, Susan Eisenberg, and Tim Daly back, as well as some of the other actors from the Justice League series. I've been unimpressed by the stunt casting of the DCAU movies from the late '00s to today. The animation is fine. The movie's not without flaws. As is often the case with these movies adapted from comic stories, they seem to take for granted the audience is familiar with the mythology and history behind the various characters and stories. This doesn't bother me specifically because I am generally familiar with the source material, but it could be a problem for viewers who don't read the comics or haven't watched many of the animated movies or the TV series. There's something to be said for making these stories accessible to both fans and new viewers. If you're a viewer familiar with the material, you should definitely like this. If you're new to it, I still think you will be able to enjoy it. You might not get every little detail but you won't be lost in the plot, I'm sure.

I'm not a massive fan of comic books but I have found myself reading more of those considered "classics" as I have had more access to them than before and it has made me more interested in the genre. This has also led to occasionally checking out some of the animated films featuring the characters and brought me to this film. I don't think I've read much featuring the Justice League together as an entity and when I started watching I was a little bit put off that it included characters that I didn't particularly care for (mostly, in fairness, because I've never given them much of a chance, don't know them or have decided that based on rubbish film versions of them).Once it got going though the film was actually pretty enjoyable. It spread the load across all the characters, giving each enough action and time to fill but not too much to overload anyone or make any of them stand out as the lead. The plot is relatively straightforward but it does produce plenty of events and action and I found it pretty entertaining for what it was. The animation is colorful and accessible – personally I prefer it darker and with more menace, but again it worked for what it was. The voice cast are strong throughout – Conroy as ever but I really enjoyed Fillion, Lumby, Rosenbaum, Black, Blackthorne and many others in there, not only are they good nods to other things but they are good here.This is still an animated superhero film though and as such it is bright, full of action and fairly simple in terms of plotting and delivery; it does work though and I found it entertaining and enjoyable throughout the short running time.
