Pretty good! I liked it more than the Batman Year Zero and Killing Joke ones, but it wasn't quite as good as the Justice League Flashpoint Paradox one imo, but still a solid JL pic.

ashleyzfyang26 March 2017So this 'movie' wasn't a bad idea on paper, but it's the mediocre-fanfiction level writing that holds it back. I enjoyed a lot of the action sequences and seeing some classic characters in animated form (this animation style reminds me of Young Justice, which is a plus). But let's just get to the elephant in the room... Damian Wayne. Having a kid save the day in an action film this scale is not a good idea, especially when he's not supposed to be the main focus. Son of Batman was acceptable because it was his story and not many of the other villains or heroes were involved, but when Superman, Wonderwoman, the Flash and the Teen Titans face up against a villain like Trigon? I thought this was a movie about teamwork! Instead, Damian is portrayed as a Gary Sue who solves all the problems without even breaking a sweat (inability to be a team player is not a flaw in this case because it doesn't even cause him any problems). This is amateur writing... Yet, the action and animation are pretty solid in this movie. If you'd like to see some familiar characters (such as those from the original Teen Titans cartoon), just give this movie a casual shot and don't expect too much.

christinaprivera30 March 2016I have to wonder if anyone reviewing the movie has actually ever read a single comic title featuring / starring Damian Wayne? Because if you had you'd know in the comics he is portrayed as a genius level combat expert and genuine genius period. His physical attributes aside he is basically Batman on crack able to think ahead and figure out the weakness of those stronger than him. So all the incessant hate over a " bratty kid " that couldn't possibly do blah blah is annoying when it's actually pretty much how the comics are in fact written. That being said I agree with some of the issues some have mentioned, mostly Raven and her being under utilized and her God awful voice acting and her seemingly weakness. I'm only hoping it gives way to her understanding her true strength and in other animated adaptations she'll be more powerful. Overall I enjoyed the movie tho , it was humorous when it needed to be and action filled when it should be too. The music choices were iffy but none too distracting.

koltonbrett4 January 2022Damian finally gets the spotlight in a positive way in this movie. The Teen Titans is the perfect place for him. I'm enjoying the continuous storyline and this movie left me wanting more of it. The villain here is pretty much the Devil himself, so things get pretty wild. They handled the battles between the Titans and the League really well. The Titans have fun and likable personalities. The humor is much more present here than in many of the DC animated movies.

TheLittleSongbird4 January 2018Like what was said with 'Teen Titans: The Judas Contract' (which to me was the better film), 'Justice League vs. Teen Titans' may not be among the best of the numerous animated superhero/comic book films, and there are some pretty good to excellent ones out there (as well as some disappointments). Can definitely see why it's divided fans and it's towards the weaker end of the films, but there is a lot to like here.
It is not in the same league as the animated 'Justice League' show, the 2003 'Teen Titans' or 'Young Justice', all three wonderful shows and three great examples of how to do iconic superheroes justice. It's certainly far more preferable than the series 'Teen Titans Go!', that was cheap, poorly written and was basically dumbed down childish stupidity that forgot basically everything that made the original series so great.
There are some not so good points with 'Justice League vs. Teen Titans'. The romantic/love interest subplot was forced and unneeded. The expected big fight indicated in the film's title was too short and anti-climactic.
Not all the characters are particularly well handled. For examples, Trigon is far too ordinary a villain with very little to him and he is poorly utilised, Raven didn't seem developed enough and wasn't compelling enough for a character so heavily focused on and the whole Beast Boy's forms stuff was interesting on paper but was very confused and underdeveloped in the film. Taissa Farmiga sounds like she was phoning in as Raven. A longer length may have helped.
However, there is a good deal to like about 'Justice League vs. Teen Titans'. The animation consists of atmospheric colours, detailed character designs and backgrounds and fluidity of movement. The music has an ideal mix of haunting intensity and jaunty infectiousness.
Really liked the dark grit tone the writing, while adding a little levity here and there to stop it from getting too seriously. The story may be standard and doesn't break new ground, but it's fun and absorbing and goes at a snappy enough pace. The action is thrilling and generally the characters and the interaction intrigues enough. The voice acting on the whole is well done.
Overall, decent but could have been a lot more. 6/10 Bethany Cox -
redn_path0129 March 2016Another movie in continuity with the other recent ones playing in the same universe! Keep an open mind and you will feel the time watching it is well spent.
Let's start with technicalities! The animation quality and design of the movie is good to very good if you keep in mind that it is a direct-to-video production - there have certainly been much worse ones around. The visual style is a continuation of the other movies that were released in the last year or two, so if you've gotten used to that, you'll feel right at home. Frederik Wiedmann did a nice job with the soundtrack, and his choice of instruments stands out immediately once the movie gets to the first mystic scenes - I think it is a good match.
The pacing is good. There is not really any part that feels too slow or drawn out too much, and enough action takes place throughout the movie to keep up the entertainment. A few scenes could benefit from a deeper exploration, but then again that would break the available time-budget. The story is entertaining, but a bit predictable. Not as predictable as the stories of some of the other DC movies, but there is still room for more complexity. It is targeted at a broader audience, most likely. The movie is somewhat family friendly, teens should feel right at home.
I'm not really a fan of Damian in a leading role, but in a team the character plays out much better. Sort of like how Batman integrates nicely with the Justice League - both characters can add a bit of spice to the mix once they're able to clearly contrast with other characters. In my opinion this is the first movie in this line that manages to do this, so that is good to see. More of that please. Damian needs to be put on a leash for good! I could not relate a whole lot to the previous versions of the Teen Titans, so I am happy to see a version of them here that feels a bit more mature. Less goofy is good!
There are some parallels between a few appearances in here and in Young Justice - some designs are related without a doubt, some characters share close or relatively close resemblances, but they are different personalities (and have different voice-actors). Wasn't sure how to take this at first, but they're likable. Would take another movie to get to know some of them a bit better, so here's hope we get that chance eventually.
Overall it is an enjoyable movie. Anyone who liked the recent DC movies should give this one a watch. -
bmcas31 March 2016As sad as I am to say this, this was not as great of a movie as I initially thought it was going to be. And apparently, I'm not alone.
I have no extra beefs with Damian as the main Robin, I mean he isn't my favorite but he isn't my least favorite either. After years of experience have telling me that everyone hates my favorite characters, I've decided not to complain. So as long as my least favorites aren't getting extra attention. That being said, Damian adds one major thing to this team, confidence. He has the balls to exert himself when no one else wants him to and sometimes that's what is needed. And his "OP feats" in this movie? He wrecks the Batwing to defeat a villain, gets his butt handed to him by Blue Beetle, and gets serious burns which have to be healed, he trips demoniacally controlled Flash (who was probably underestimating him anyway, we all know Flash gets cocky), sucker-punches a demoniacally controlled Superman with the one thing known to beat him... Out of his four major feats in this movie, two do more harm than good, one doesn't affect the plot and the last literally anyone could have done. All these actions serve to prove that he isn't a normal kid but a kid nonetheless. He has resources and guts but he has childish recklessness and hotheadedness. But he certainly isn't League caliber. At least this time he isn't pulling blades out of his wrists and then going on to beating Deathstroke (one of DC's strongest mercenaries in case you forgot) by himself.
I have 4 other major beefs with this movie:
1) Raven willingly goes to her brothers' avatars when she is called. A) she is outnumbered and she knows it. B) What reason does she have to converse with them other than to give the audience needed info? I feel they should have came after her, creating a scene and a panic. Feels more "demonic" and in that situation they can info dump all they like but in a way where everyone can hear, not just her.
2) I love Blue Beetle but he is the only one who isn't given a reason for why he is on the team. Some info dumping here would have actually been nice. Especially on how he got the Scarab, even if the only thing it serves to do is to explain to Damian his struggles. Without knowing his back story, someone who doesn't anything about the character has doesn't really have anything to distinguish Jaime from a rip off Iron Man which really made me upset.
3) Beast Boy's unexplained new forms in hell. Oh where do I start. This could have been an amazing moment to tell new viewers where Beast Boy's forms come from. The least they could have done is had a Titan ask where the new form came from. And have Beast Boy literally say anything in response. Oh and I'm complaining that he sprouts wings and then ends up in a sort of werewolf form but oh well.
4) I really wish we could have seen how things came together after they defeated Trigon. Batman waking up, Nightwing checking in and freaking out, Raven placing the jewel in her head (How does it stay there again?). A quick silent montage with some score music in the background showing all of this would have been nice. I would have traded the Terra post-credits scene for that closure.
The one thing that the movie did right (in my opinion) was it kept my attention.The pacing was good, the teenage parts reminded me as a teen, wanting to show off, impress the girl and developing crushes that would eventually become doomed relationships based on nothing more than shared experience. Despite the things the movie did wrong, it found ways to entertain throughout the bad. And that's the real point of a movie, to entertain. Even if it does so in a cliché manner.
Also, my response to those complaining above: Seriously, of all the things to complain about you had to choose the two busiest members of the Justice League NOT BEING IN THE MOVIE to complain about? The movie could have said so, but in it's own continuum it hasn't shown them all to reliably shown up when asked. I would like to have it mentioned in a future movie when those three remark about not being there for that but it's really not a big deal.
Raven is fourteen. She isn't at the height of her power and from what I gathered it doesn't seem like she's gotten to overuse her powers like she did in this movie. Give her and the writers a break on that.
And yes, the forced implied love-interest development between Robin and Raven wasn't needed. Do teens often develop crushes on people who can even slightly understand them after years of isolation? Yes, but even so I agree that it wasn't needed. But it's Hollywood and sadly it doesn't surprise me anymore.
There have been worse movies and being perfectly honest, if we look back at any superhero movie we can sin it to death after it's done. But that doesn't accomplish anything. Hopefully DC uses this as a stepping stone to make a better made movie in the future. -
ersinkdotcom29 April 2016Warner Home Video and DC Comics unleash the fury in their latest direct-to-DVD offering "Justice League vs. Teen Titans." The all-new DC Universe Original Movie is brought to us by Director Sam Liu ("Batman: Year One," "All-Star Superman") from a script by Bryan Q. Miller ("The Flash," "Arrow") and Alan Burnett ("Batman: The Animated Series," "Batman Beyond"). It is based on an original idea instead of a comic book arc like most of the past animated films.
Frustrated and disillusioned about his work alongside the Justice League, Robin is forced into a new position with a younger super team, the Teen Titans. Readily welcomed aboard, he is immediately intrigued by the mysterious Raven and the unnatural force that looms over them - her father Trigon - a deceptive being powerful enough to destroy Metropolis by pitting the mighty Justice League against the Teen Titans. Loyalties are on the line and lives hang in the balance in "Justice League vs. Teen Titans."
"Justice League vs. Teen Titans" reminded me of what would happen if an old Satanic Panic flick like "Rosemary's Baby," "The Exorcist," or "The Masque of the Red Death" was blended together with a super hero movie. You have the mother who is deceived into giving herself over to a cult and spawning the daughter of Satan (or Trigon as they call him in the DC Universe). The offspring of the Unholy One fights her destiny and chooses to use her powers for good. The only difference between this and a classic horror film starring Vincent Price or Linda Blair is the inclusion of Robin the Boy Wonder, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Blue Beetle, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
Writers Bryan Q. Miller and Alan Burnett are no strangers to the DC world of super heroes. Burnett has helped create some of the most adored animated television shows and movies from the past three decades, while Miller has brought to life several different comic book characters through live-action series starting with "Smallville." Director Sam Liu knows how to pull it all together and give it a breakneck speed while not skimping on the story.
I applaud the filmmakers for trying to reach out to a teen crowd with their use of rock and dance pop numbers as the Titans try to blow off some adolescent steam at a carnival. They also do a decent job of creating some convincing chemistry between Robin and Raven, who feel like they're the outcasts of the supergroup. At the same time, older comic fans might feel as if they're watching an episode of "DeGrassi: The Next Generation" or "The O.C."
"Justice League vs. Teen Titans" is rated PG-13 for fantasy action violence and some suggestive images. Several demons get their heads chopped off and regrow them. Our heroes also go to Hell and battle some very disturbing creatures that get hacked up. It's definitely not for younger audiences.
Just be warned, parents. These are not the happy-go-lucky super heroes you know from "Teen Titans GO!" The group of youthful crimefighters we see here tend to use some profanity and are dark, angry, and grim. Their leader, Starfire, enjoys wearing extremely short skirts and shirts fashioned with what I call a boob window. I think she might use it as a distraction for her enemies while she battles with them. There's plenty of fun for older teens and adults to be had, but intense and disturbing scenes and other adult content keep this from being something the whole family can watch.
With a great voice cast including Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman, Jerry O'Connell as Superman, Jason O'Mara as Batman, and Jon Bernthal as Trigon, "Justice League vs. Teen Titans" is another action-packed thrill ride from DC Comics and Warner Home Video. Although the frantic pacing and short run-times of these animated movies sometimes feel a bit light on story buildup, they accomplish what they set out to. They're a comic book put in motion before our very eyes. -
HafizhMaulana2119 November 2022Robin is sent by Batman to join the Teen Titans after his easy behavior undermines the Justice League mission. The Titans then have to face Trigon who is threatening to conquer the world.
With the title Justice League vs. Teen Titans, I expected there would be a fight between the two groups, but in reality it wasn't. Expecting a fierce fight, it actually features a fight action that is not too important to be used as a conflict. The pace at the beginning of the film to build conflict is fairly slow. Too many portions were given to Raven. The fighting action at the end of the film also looks minimal so that this film has a less than optimal finish. If you look at it, the appearance of the Justice League members here is only as an igniter or build a story to provide a development of the power of the Teen Titans themselves. Until it reached the anti-climax, the film did not improve in terms of story. Whether you like it or not, this movie does perform well. With the concept of young heroes as a group under the auspices of Justice League, the film still presents the feel of teenagers in general.
Too much focus on Raven closes the rest of the characters to perform at their best, except with Robin starting to seem to be undergoing changes in her. Appearing with advising dialogue is proof that Robin is experiencing character development. I see Starfire as like an older sister to the Titans. Beast Boy and Blue Beetle are like sweetener roles in this film. The rest of the Justice League, it seems quite helpful in directing the story. -
nogodnomasters25 March 2018After the Justice League defeats the Legion of Doom in the first five minutes, Robin acts unilaterally to defeat the Dark Lord. Batman decides Robin must learn team work and forces him to superhero teamwork building reform school. Here is meets an interesting bunch of characters, chicks in short skirts, and oh yeah, that Dark Lord thing is not over.
There is no introduction of characters. It assumes you have been following the Batman vs Robin series. The current Robin is named Damian and is the illegitimate son of Batman. The original Robin had moved on to be known as Nightwing for some reason I confuse with a duck. Wonder Woman dates Superman and not Batman and to be honest, I must have missed the episode which bumped Lois out of the picture, or else they never bothered.
PLOT SPOILER: Superman doesn't die in this film. That would be really stupid. The film incorporates humor which seems geared at the tweens. -
DareDevilKid8 May 2016Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
The DC animated universe introduces us to some engrossing new characters and plot elements with "Justice League vs. Teen Titans", the recent, exciting adventure in their entertaining DTH-video series.
Fusing traditional Justice League superheroes like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Cyborg against a bunch of upstart adolescent crime-fighters, and pitting them against each other could easily have turned out to be a convoluted muddle, a la "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", but some fairly solid writing by Bryan Q. Miller and Alan Burnett, and more than a few innovative and pulsating action sequences envisaged by Director Sam Liu (Batman: Year One, Justice League: Gods and Monsters) make this a breezy ride that's guaranteed to whet your appetite for some plain, simple, no-holds- barred fun. If you still desire to see DC superheroes battling each other, this is a far more rewarding investment than "Dawn of Justice".
As is the norm with these movies, "Justice League vs. Teen Titans" is short and snappy, clocking in at about 75 minutes, which means its themes are mostly presented on the surface, with little time for any deeper exploration. Nevertheless, this latest offering from DC's popular and highly entertaining animated universe – the only avenue where they still score over Marvel – has an enjoyable comic-book appeal, and it sets up the Teen Titans nicely for their own series of screen escapades. -
impulzived30 March 2016This movie is below average and as a dedicated Dc fan, i'm insulted. I'm honestly worried that the one thing that Dc has over Marvel, which is their animated movies, is getting more and more uninteresting as it goes. There are little good things in this movie that makes it worth watching, if you can ignore all the flaws that it has. I just feel like this movie had potential but ultimately failed due its many mistakes.
The story tries its best to mix the Justice League and Teen Titans together but it just ends up failing in the end. The Teen Titans are there but they're pushed to the side with Raven and Damien being heavily focused on. Trigon is suppose to be the main villain in the story but they don't really make him seem that unique since all he does is attack the city (which every villain has done before in the Justice League movies) and kills an entire race of people, with that being one of the only truly bad thing that he's done. The Justice League feels like they're crammed in there and their appearances seem somewhat forced. It seems that DC doesn't have enough courage in a Teen Titans solo movie, so they need to put in the Justice League in order to feel safe. That wouldn't have been a problem if they had rebooted the Teen Titans franchise properly instead of making the awful Teen Titans Go.
Just like Teen Titans Go, there's also a lot of scenes in the movie that doesn't make any sense or are just plain dumb. There's a scene where Beast Boy uncontrollably transforms into new forms of animals because ...he's in hell? It was so stupid and so unnecessary and just seemed like it was there to make beast boy look cool. Also, why didn't Raven take the Justice League into hell? They could've gotten everything done way more faster than the Titans and fix the problem before Trigon could even reach the city. Speaking of Trigon attacking the city, there was only Superman, Wonderwoman, and the Flash there to help. It makes you think "hmmm hey, wheres Green Lantern, Shazam, and Aquaman?". You would think that they would come out and help defend the city but no, they don't make an appearance whatsoever. They don't even give a reasonable explanation why they aren't there, they're just like "ha slackers" and that's it. I don't care if it's because of budget cuts, if they aren't there to protect the city then don't write in Trigon attacking the city!
Now that i got that out of my system, onto the characters themselves. I don't like that Damien is the "go to" main protagonist when the movie isn't focusing on the League. This version is very close to the comics so he has to be brat but i just can't see myself rooting for someone like that. He is making more of a change though so i do like that. Raven is used more like a plot device rather than a actual character and she's extremely weak in the movie but they do a good job setting up her back story though so i'll give them that. Starfire is just there so dudes can stare at her body, and Beast Boy and Blue Beetle are just there for fan service, offering nothing but the "Power of Friendship" to the story. I also find it extremely insulting that DC has the nerve to feature Nightwing as part of the team when he wasn't even in the movie for more than 1 minute!
The animation in the movie is the only good thing about it but I saw a few scenes that shows the animators taking the easy way out of making the scenes rather than putting in time and making it feel more organic and dynamic. The voice acting is good here and there but it's overall pretty lacking. I do wish that they could have gotten the original cast to voice their respective characters but i can respect that if was due to budget cuts or just them wanting to distance themselves from that universe.
The title is also very misleading. I was expecting an epic battle where the possessed Justice League fight the underdog Teen Titans in a last ditch effort to save the world. That would've been cool but you know what we get? We get Wonderwoman, Cyborg, and Flash beating the tar out of the Titans for like 3 minutes. It was so anti- climatic that i was dying with laughter because that was suppose be the one moment that everyone was waiting for and DC just wasted it. Something that they should have done was, take the Justice League out of this movie, make this simply a Teen Titans movie, and make the epic final battle be between the Titans and Trigon.
I was just looking forward for this movie and after seeing it, i was a bit disappointed. This is an example of DC just making animated movies for a quick cash grab instead of adding quality and depth to their stories. Dc, please get better writers to make your animated movies and give the crew more time to work on things, i'd rather wait for a movie with a good story rather than immediately getting a movie that ends up very disappointing, i'm looking at you Throne of Atlantis. The movie has great animation but it's overshadowed with terrible voice acting, forced characters, cliché lines and acting, and a messy story that could've been great . If you are a casual comic fan who likes animated movies then this is the movie for you. If you're a die-hard DC comics fan who likes a good story then i can't recommend this for you. Overall, very disappointing and really hope that they do better the next time. -
ReverendSpaceman4 April 2016I'll start by saying I've pretty much enjoyed all the DC animated movies, and this is no exception. For the most part, I did enjoy this, but I've got some issues with it.
I'll go ahead and get the positives out of the way, not to say there's more bad than good, but there's really less to say about the good. The voice acting is, for the most part, pretty solid. These aren't the Teen Titans of the cartoon, just like this isn't the Justice League from the cartoon of the same era. Starfire was pretty spot-on, Beast Boy was actually pretty great, and Damien's child voice actor seems to have finally got the hang of the role. The plot is about as all-over-the-place as Batman: Bad Blood, but that's what happens when you condense a whole story arc into a movie that's less than 90 minutes, I don't mind it.
Now for the bad. Raven's voice actress comes across as though she's just reading her lines so she can get it over with and go home. There's a scene in the middle of the movie that takes place in an amusement park, and the entire scene is bombarded with this horrible pop punk song, followed by a pseudo-J-pop... thing. This scene dragged on for far too long, and most of it could be cut from the film and the plot wouldn't be affected. Another thing is the misleading title, which DC seems to be fond of with these VS movies. While there is a scene where the Titans fight the Justice League, it's fairly brief, and only happens because the JL are possessed by Trigon. And that brings me to my next issue; Trigon, he spends the whole movie trying to manipulate Raven into getting him to Earth, and when he gets there he just kinda... stomps around for a while, breathes fire on some buildings. In the Teen Titans cartoon we got to see just how much of a threat Trigon could be, though it was built up over a whole season, when he actually showed up he was shown as something to be feared. Here, we see the literal devil reduced to a villain of the week.
Would I recommend this? Yes, I'd recommend a rental, especially to the Young Justice crowd. Older fans of the DCAU (Justice League, Batman The Animated Series, etc.) and the original Teen Titns might be let down by this one, but it's still worth a watch. -
saipranayreddy6661 April 2016I want to see more Teen Titans action but not this cast .I don't know if I am so attached to Teen Titans or Teen Titans Go! but I can't stop feeling that casts of those series did a better job than these guys and Justice League cast too.Sometimes in the movie I felt that there were some awkward pauses and they were not played well.
I like the story and effects were really good considering that this is Direct-To-Home release.The fight scenes were good too.But,I thought there were too many fight scenes and most of them were a flash.
The movie was too serious and some jokes would have helped it.I felt there were some scenes in which they tried too hard to generate comedy but failed to do that.
At the end of the day it was a good movie and I would recommend a friend to watch it. -
Milk_Tray_Guy26 May 2023This was the movie that introduced the Teen Titans into the DCAMU (or 'New 52' movies). After disobeying orders from Batman during a battle between the Justice League and the Legion of Doom, Damian is sent to spend time with the Titans in the hope he will learn to become a 'team player'. Whilst he's away the League identifies an apparently supernatural entity that manifested toward the end of their fight with the Legion. A confrontation with a now possessed Superman establishes that the entity is after 'the girl' - Raven, of the Titans. The League visit Titans Tower, demanding that Raven return with them so they can keep her safe. However, they have inadvertently led the entity right to Raven, and as the entity possesses the League and tries to take Raven by force, a battle with the Titans ensues...
The tone runs from typical Titans humour, through more serious moments, to horror (think 'DC meets Schwarzenegger's End of Days'). The voice acting is good (a number of people online don't like Taissa Farmiga's Raven; although I prefer Tara Strong's version, Farmiga does well). Jon Bernthal does a nice job of voicing Raven's demonic father, Trigon. There is a problem with pacing, with some parts dragging whilst others feel rushed. And given the run-time is only 79 minutes, FAR too much of that is spent on the Titans 'bonding' at a carnival (and a looonng dance mat competition between Beast Boy and Damian). But overall it's pretty enjoyable, with good characterisations (this was the movie where I actually started to warm towards Damian). 7/10. -
psygarg2 April 2016People should just relax and enjoy the stories, I read some of the reviews and they are just so mean... it is a good story, and the introduction of some good characters, we need this, we need to expand our DCU, The story reminds me a lot the good old times when the Teen Titans were taken seriously in the old cartoons, and back when Young Justice was a great success, I guess the writers need to undust the Teen Titans muscles and get down to business, create more and better stories. I don't like the New 52 a lot, but I can watch this... my complaint, No Green Lantern, no Kid Flash and too little Beast boy-Cyborg interaction!
-
Mon_T24 July 2023Much like the other animated movies this one has absolutely amazing action and fight scenes. It's honestly the one thing I remember from this movie. Felt like the plot could have been better if they centred the focus around other more specific characters that the whole arc was supposed to be about.
Character designs looked relatively nice, a lot of people like to complain about how gloomy or bland some of the characters looked compared to other versions from TV shows or movies, but I personally didn't mind them? I got used to it, is basically what I'm saying.
Plot was kind of forgettable, I felt like there wasn't enough stress at the climax of the movie and that made it less dramatic than how it should have been. -
Payback101618 April 2016Personally I hate Nu52, but if the animated versions of it are anything to go by, they are literally trying to make up for the things that made 52 worse to begin with. While at the same time bringing in elements of the mainstream series. Much like how MCU is combining the elements of Mainstream and Ultimate Marvel in their movies. Is this movie perfect? No, but I'm rating it high anyway for the unique ideas. Raven and Damien's relationship is one of the best ideas because it gives fans of a Robin/Raven relationship what they want in a way that is convincing to those that don't understand it and it helped both Damien become more of a team player and less than a brat and at the same time help Raven open up more as a person. Speaking of which (no pun intended), while the Actress is no Tara Strong, she does have a unique way of portraying Raven that is both faithful to the original comics while at the same time using elements of the Animated series. Though she should cut down on the swearing. Just kidding.

Animany9418 September 2019Let me start off by saying that this is one of the animated DC movies I think looks the best considering it is a direct-to-dvd production. The animation was very detailed and at times felt rather massive in its scope and size.
But I found the title to be deceiving, because there's not much JL vs TT going on in the movie so that was kind of disappointing to be honest. But we get many cool fight scenes between hellish demons and a lot of the mystical elements from Raven and since she is my favorite of the Titans I was satisfied by her as the main focus with her difficul heritage.
A good-looking movie, but still could have been better with a more streamlined plot. Recommendable, but not a must watch. -
erentuna-974212 April 2020Interestingly introduced new characters to the DCAU is fun and entertaining but this one looks very similar to others with copy screenplays.
-
I don't get it? You make an entire movie about Trigon, the father of Raven, and yet miraculously manage to avoid giving Raven any screen- time and instead showcasing the same boy wonder that everybody hates.
Once again we have another movie where all of the seasoned professionals get the crap beat out of them while some bratty 12 year old child 'saves' them all. I can't even count how many times Raven ends up sat around being helpless while Robin is waltzing around saving the day, as if she's not the most powerful Titan, yet all she does is cry on the floor and get exhausted every time she exerts the tiniest bit of effort?
Don't even get me started on the voice acting. Starfire? Averagely okay. Raven's voice acting? Diabolical and devoid of any inflection or tone.
If you wanna watch 40 minutes of some 12 year old pest playing dance mats, which then progresses into Raven being helpless for the rest of the movie, then this is the movie for you. -
DC has seriously gone downhill. Jumped the shark as it were... Used to be a huge fan when I was younger. DC tried in recent years to make a name by being edgy... dark. Now they are just dull and stale. Sub par (seriously) animation and pathetic and predictable dialogue. They become more and more irrelevant with each offering.
Now it's something I watch as a last resort. Can't hang with the franchise any longer. See you all in the blessed Marvel Universe where things happen, the shows are intertwined, the characters are not always cheesed off at the world and each other and they actually make a difference for the fantasy world and the fans.
DC is dead. -
aastikhimta14 April 2021The plot was okay could've been better plus the villian CGI were not on point as I expected . And movie should be named as teen titans and justice league coz there wasn't any great fights between them . But yes you can watch it.
