And I’m going to spoil it, so stop reading if you don’t want to know what happens in either the original comic story or this movie. The final work of the late, great Dwayne McDuffie, Justice League: Doom is an animated adaptation of the Mark Waid-penned comic book storyline ‘Tower of Babel’. There are aesthetic similarities with previous animated movies, so perhaps this is the same Justice League as those movies. These character moments aren’t going to pay off anywhere else. The problem, though, is that this is a stand alone movie. The ending is spectacular, really getting to the hearts of these characters. They look fantastic, and the animation is top notch. These are the people Vandal Savage has hired to rid the world of the Justice League? These are the plans they come up with? But all of that foolishness is undercut by some pretty great characterization, especially on the part of the Justice League. The villains, especially, were acting ridiculous, and some of their plans were downright dumb. There were a lot of times during this film where I was rolling my eyes at just how stupid some of the ideas and plot points were.
Unless it’s a stupid Justice League movie.

There’s just nothing special about it, nothing that warrants its existence in the animated movie library.īut who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth? A Justice League movie is a Justice League movie. This could have been a made-for-TV movie of the Justice League cartoon from a few years ago. The problem is that it’s kind of boring and run-of-the-mill. Justice League: Doom features great animation, solid characters and a fun plot. Still, the latest release from DC Comics’ animated movies is an alright film, with a killer ending. But then the book is always better than the movie adaptation.
