JUSTICE LEAGUE: WAR - Post Credit Scene Hints At Next Story Line To Be Adapted (SPOILERS)

So with the release of the Newest DC Animation- Justice League: War we get our first look at the new 52 universe getting the animation treatment. However the were some differences from Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's "Origins" the source material which the film was based. Most notably was the absence of Aquaman being replace by Shazam, and the reason for this is quickly learnt in the post credit scenes.



The scene shows a vessel rising from the water filled with dead sea life. The vessel which has been damaged by Darkseid's attack on Earth is carrying the brother of Aquaman- Orm (Ocean Master) holding the dead body of an old man. Then speaking the line "The Surface Dwellers have killed our king. This is an act of war. And they will pay."

The scene seems to heavily hint at an adaptation of the "Throne of Atlantis" storyline that crossed over the Justice League and Aquaman comics last year,and when asked if "Throne of Atlantis" would be a future DC animated film, Warner Bros. replied: "You'll see a movie with Atlantis in the title."

So what did you think of Justice League: War? Are you looking forward to a Throne Of Atlantis adaptation? Or is the a New 52 story line you would rather see get the animation treatment?

I'll repost my thoughts here (some spoilers):

DC is pretty much the grand master when it comes to animated comicbook movies. As of late, they've started to take a curve toward a more mature tone (upping the violence, mild sexual inuendo, foul language -- that sort of thing) and this one is no different. There's even a small scene demonstrating a potentially dysfunctional family, when Batman is smashed against a couple windows as a toddler watches. The way he gets blamed for it is very familiar and ugly and is the kind of sutble adult themes DC adds to their animated movies that's just the icing on the cake.

In a nutshell, following on from the alternate universe (New 52) created by the previous movie, Flashpoint: Paradox, Darkseid's Parademons have infiltrated the earth and begun planting mother boxes so that they can open more boom tubes for the rest of the army in addition to preparing the earth for terraforming.

Batman and Green Lantern:
The banter between these two has been done very well, from the first meeting and Lantern's subsequent surprise that Batman is real to the way Batman just assumes control even though he's incredibly underpowered compared to both the villains and the heroes. I also love how Batman's detective skills are put on display as he name drops several alter egos of the Justice League members to their obvious surprise.

The Flash and Cyborg:
Unfortunately, the Flash doesn't get much to do here. We're shown a glimpse into his life in the police department and then he's in action as the Flash in an altercation involving Cyborg. Speaking of which, Victor Stone's story arc here is very impressive. I've never cared too much for Cyborg. Quite frankly, he just seemed to be a tacked on member of the Justice League. However, here we get some meaty character development with his issues with his father, the horrific accident (which they actually show) that leads to the operation which makes him Cyborg, and the eventual father/son friction resolution. I'm still not sold on the outfit, though.

Captain Marvel a.k.a Shazam:
Okay, this was a weird inclusion/substitution (Aquaman is missing for some reason), in my opinion. With Shazam on the team, I felt like the JL basically had 2 Supermen and thus would better be named the Unstoppable League. Really, the team is so incredibly overpowered in this movie it's a wonder there was even a challenge to begin with. I'm not very familiar with Shazam other than the few times I've seen him on film, but the portrayal of the character didn't seem at all out of place or annoying.

Darkseid:
I absolutely love what they've done with Darkseid. He's much bigger than he used to be and (YES!) he's got that scary, growling voice again as he should have.

Superman:
I'm not entirely comfortable with this version of Superman. He doesn't feel like the authority figure that I know Superman to be. This one seems more rough, for lack of a better word. What I do like about him is the no-nonsense fight he has with Green Lantern and Batman. This Batman vs. Superman fight is EXACTLY how it would go down. Period. It was a pleasure to finally see that. Some will mention the lack of Kryptonite, but Lex Luthor has access to Kryptonite and I think he's actually smarter than Batman and yet he STILL can't beat Superman.

Now to the cons, because there always are (some mild spoilers):

Wonder Woman:
Sigh. What happened? This version of the character is easily the worst I have ever seen, which is disappointing coming off of the spectacular Wonder Woman animated movie DC released. The entire scene with the ice cream and the little girl was so incredibly cringe worthy and ridiculous, I wanted to smack someone just for the heck of it. Just stop, whoever you are who thought this was cute. Just... stop. Wonder Woman gets called a word (rhymes with bore and happens at least twice) and doesn't open up a can of whoop-you-know-what on the moron who said it is just more flame to the fire. The incident is a sort of tongue in cheek moment (it involves cross dressing) that the producers probably thought was funny, but it's just one more nail in the coffin for the character in my opinion. I know it's just a guy and she can't just smash his head in, but come on. Up until this point, we've seen the men on the team do their thing with all seriousness and when we get to the only woman on the team, it's ice cream is yummy and my "outfit makes me feel strong, too!" Ugh. Also, her amazonian warrior talk is way over the top. I just couldn't take her seriously.

Darkseid:
Although Darkseid is incredibly powerful here, he gets horrifically maimed in a way that I just don't get. I mean, if it's that easy to maim him, why is it so hard to just have Green Lantern shoot him dead? At first, I thought it might have something to do with Wonder Woman's sword, but then the Flash does something non-powered and has no problem. It's inconsistent.

Captain Marvel a.k.a Shazam:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the word "Shazam" is the magical word used to change between Captain Marvel and Billy Bastion. When Captain Marvel introduces himself to the team, he calls himself "Shazam," but doesn't change back to Billy. Also, is Shazam stronger than Superman? There's an incident where Darkseid shoots Superman with his Omega Beams and knocks him out, but when Shazam is hit with it, he's up in no time.

Batman and the Flash:
There's a quick scene of Batman getting punched by Darkseid and he survives it. This happens with the Flash as well. Yeah, that's not happening.

Before I go, I just want to clear something up from the movie that I've seen someone complain about. This is a big spoiler, so turn away now if you don't want to know...

When Batman rescues Superman on War World, Superman grabs his captor and strangles the life out of him. Now, this might seem to be a new theme going on with Superman - what, with the events of Man of Steel and all - but it's actually not normal Superman. He's been altered into a Parademon, but the process hasn't had a chance to be completed as he proceeds to try to kill Batman immediately after.

Really liked the movie.

Loved Superman, Loved the banter between GL and Bats. Really liked the heart and story with Cyborg. Darkseid's voice was great.

Wonder woman was annoying but I don't usually like her in any iteration, Flash was boring but it is Barry after all and Shazam was also kinda douchey.

I actually did like the changes they made from the comics. I think they really improved on the source material, except for the exclusion of Aquaman, wouldeve been awesome to see the sea king kick some ass.

But with the exclusion of Aquaman from war and the way they set up throne of Atlantis with the mid credits scene I see some major problems.

Like now that it was the invasion that bombed them that takes Vulko sabotoging them away which is a major part.
Also Aquaman's loyalty to the league and to Atlantis was integral but now that's missing as well.

Oh well I;m sure they will work it out.

I really did not like this movie. The voice acting was rrally bad and I guess that means the voice casting wasnt up to par with previous animated features. Superman sounded like a brainless jock with bad one liners, especially up against darkseid. I understand this is apart of the new 52 characterization but just seeing the iconic man of steel behave so childish was very awkward.
Hal jordan was probably the most annoying. Yes he is a cocky pilot and person overall but the jokes he made (lookin at you geoff johns) fell flat for me. He was very unlikeable until he decided to hatch a plan with the team to defeat darkseid. Still, after everything he was still kinda irritating.
Everyone hated wonder woman but I thought she kicked ass, aside from her beginning scenes of ignoring the president for ice cream. That was dumb lol.
All in all, the movie suffers from sticking TOO closely to the source material (which wasnt all that great) and not enough from its own original dialogue and scenes. Darkseid was the biggest disappointment for me. He was reduced to the being the generic bad guy of the day with no motivation.

6.7/10 for me. Darkseid was such a mindless brute it was not even funny. Also this movie would have been much better with Aquaman instead of Shazam.

@MrAgamotto: Ah, I see. Thanks.

@moohika: It's available for digital download.

@MikeHawk: I actually thought Darkseid did come off as a little generic, but the new version of him was fantastic to see.

Mild Spoilers

I enjoyed this. But I do have one gripe. I wasn't a fan of how they handled Darkseid. Yes he was big and scary but he wasn't Darkseid. I felt almost like I was watching Doomsday with eye beams. For a while Darkseid just floated around and fired random eye beams on one city. That's not how Darkseid gets down. But then maybe that's a fault of the source material. I wasn't a fan of how Johns handled that either.

That aside I liked it. Flashpoint Paradox was a lot better imo but it's DC animated. Even their worst efforts are still pretty darn rootin' tootin'. Looking forward to Aquaman (which had to be coming).

I hope so! And I hope that Best Buy still does the exclusive figurines because I need an Aquaman for my JL collection. I wouldn't count on a Martian Manhunter or Hawkman one, but they need to make Aquaman!

Orm's costume looks hideous and considering there called the Super Seven hopefully Shazam gets booted in the next movie and Aquaman is back in as now known the JL.
