'Justice League Dark' follows the chronology from "the new 52" animated movies that was left in 'Justice League vs Teen Titans. The movie centers in a different and darker team of superheroes that have to join together in order to save humanity from demonic forces.I think that this movie is a little bit overrated because, I mean, the animation was very good, and it was interesting for me to know these characters better, particularly John Constantine, and the movie started off very well, but then it became quite a bit superficial, to the grade of not understanding what was going on.I also think that this movie was not worthy of an R rating at ALL! It is violent as any other DCU animated movie nowadays, but Son of Batman and The Dark Knight Returns Part II were far more bloody and violent than this one, and still they're PG-13. 'The killing joke' was definitely worthy of it, but this one is completely OK for anyone above 12. That was a big let down for me, because I was expecting something darker and much more violent than this.Overall, it is worth to watch, but don't do it with very high expectations as I did, because you will be probably disappointed.

Simple but efficient. I do not see a better way to describe Justice League Dark. With a story that takes a universe already established within the animations, the film works very well its characters, in a simple way, not wasting time trying to tell its origins to the public, and with that, goes straight to the point.The chemistry between the characters is very cool, and Batman adds a lot to the group's dynamics, with simply sensational speeches, giving us great moments inside the movie!Finally, I think Justice League Dark shows DC itself the potential that this brand can have not only in animated films, but also in live-action. Please DC, make the Dark Justice League live-action! We want to see!In summary, Justice League Dark fulfills its role, tells a cool story, with well-built characters and excellent dynamics, providing little more than an hour of pure of great entertainment!Ps: Listening to Matt Ryan once again bringing Constantine to life is also incredible.

Now you would kinda expect that all of the superheroes would team up together but instead there was only just around five of them that teamed up together. It was OK in a way, however, we can't forget the other superheroes throughout the years! It makes it feel like half of the justice league just want to be left alone and not bother joining Batman,John Constantine, Zatanna and Jason Blood. It is a pity that the writers left this out but, this is only just one complaint i have with the animated movie.I couldn't believe that an Irish actor like Jason O'Mara could pull off Batman, seriously like Kevin Conroy, he is one of the few that can pull off Batman really well. I suppose when Christian Bale was Batman during the haydays, he wasn't bad either, however he wasn't the greatest at doing the role tbh. I'm very impressed that an irishian like myself, pulled off a great accent and character like Batman! I thought this animated short movie was really good, for such a short group of 5, they did a good job in tackling the bad guys as per usual in any superhero movie!

I want to like this movie because I like many of DC's animated movies and the concept behind Justice League Dark is uber-cool: the magical DC heroes (and Batman) band together to fight a supernatural force. Unfortunately this 2017 version of Justice League Dark is subpar. For such a cool concept so much of this JLD iteration is lame. The "league" fights a guy called Felix Faust, who's got a Fu Manchu 'stache but talks like he works at Home Depot. That wouldn't be so bad if the central antagonist was not so boring. And it's such a shame. Justice League Dark should be taking on Cthulu/Lovecraftian/Hell horrors, man-- not just another smirking villain who, instead of firing 'energy' bolts fires 'magic' bolts instead. (But these ones are purple, oh, okay.)Everything about JLD is wooden, which is tragic, given it's a cartoon (whoops, sorry: animated film.) Really: animation is one of the most fluid and adaptive forms of media we have: so why does everyone in JLD stand so stiffly and frown at one another? Frown and talk in grumbly-grumble voices? Answer: it's a pale attempt to convey grit and intensity. Maybe I'd buy it if I was one of those fedora-wearing neckbeards, but I moved out of my parent's basement long ago.Constantine is a great character, and so is Deadman: but I can't stand the voices for either or. Deadman's job is to play comic relief (he annoys us with a phony Brooklyn accent) and Constantine sounds like some Yank doing a poor impression of a Game of Thrones character. God. What's stings most about JLD is the missed opportunity for something dark and freaky-deaky. There's an episode of Superman: The Animated Series called "The Hand of Fate," where Supes and Dr. Fate have to team up to fight a villain called Karkull. Look up this episode; specifically, check out Karkull's groovy, Cthulu-inspired design. I saw this episode when I was a kid and I still remember Karkull's tentacle teeth and his giant eyeball minions.JLD could have been something twisted and weird, but this 2017 iteration plays it too safe and by the numbers for my liking. Maybe we'll have something wonderfully horrifying in a sequel, or even a live action adaptation. Fun fact, both George Miller and Guillermo del Toro were attached to do adaptations of this concept. How cool would those movies have been? Hey: now that Hellboy 3 is confirmed as not going to be made, I'd love, love, love to see HB appear in a live action version of JLD, ohyesplease.Anyway: this 2017 version of Justice League Dark is not great: but as it stands, it's better than 2016's Suicide Squad: just for the fact that it doesn't constantly show Marge Robbie's pale clown backside."Don't let her sit down on anything before I cover it with plastic, dude!"
