Simply fantastic,

This review is from: Justice League: Doom (Blu-ray/Dvd Combo) (Blu-ray)
I have been an avid fan of JLA and all things Bruce Timm for some time, but this truly was a superb effort. The animation was top notch, the story solid and most importantly the voice work beyond reproach as it featured the originals for the most part, Tim Day (Superman), Susan Eisenberg (Wonder Woman), Carl Lumbly (Martian Manhunter), and of course, the incredible Kevin Conroy (Batman). Nathan Fillion is Green Lantern and has been since Emerald Knights..in the opinion of many, should have been Hal Jordan in the live action version, though I will reserve judgement there..the addition of Cyborg is very much a 52 relaunch plot device, but is nonetheless a solid performance by Bumper Robinson. The tone fluctuates between quick, humorous wit, and dark peril. The pace is quick and I can say without fear that the 75 minutes goes by in a blink. Your attention never wavers when either villian or hero are on screen. The Batman portion of the tale is uncompromising and brutal and unquestionably portrayed and depicted by folks who know their Batman..you do not have to be a long time fan to appreciate this most recent foray, but if you are you certain feel respected. This is a solid effort, perhaps the most solid movie version to come forth since Public Enemies: Batman/Superman. Make no mistake, however, this is an ensemble piece and worth the time of any DC Comics or Comic fan overall. Simply outstanding.

Interesting and fun,

This review is from: Justice League: Doom (DVD)
I'm usually annoyed at WB's attempts to force the comics and cartoons to match up continuity, so the inclusion of Cyborg here didn't do anything for me, but on the whole, it was a decent adaptation of a great story arc.

Weakest effort thus far,

This review is from: Justice League: Doom (Blu-ray/Dvd Combo) (Blu-ray)
Of all the DC direct to video features produced to date, this is probably the weakest. There were better episodes of JLA animated and JLA unlimited. Pretty standard fare. Bruce Timm has done a fabulous job of bringing the DCU to life, but this one just seemed flat and somewhat canned. Beyond the Trinity (Bats, Supes and Diana) and JLA, I'd also like to see other prominent DC characters get their own feature like Flash or Batgirl. The Killing Joke would make a great feature. They could even make it more contemporary and tie it in to Babs now being out of the chair. It's not that Doom is a bad feature, it's just that such a high standard had been set with the prior feature films and DC shorts that this effort seemed sub-standard and juvenile. Hopefully this is not the beginning of a decline for DC Features.Marvel has been producing the better live action films in recent years but DC has always produced the best animated features. As these are direct to video, we have to trust that they will be good when we(adult fanboys and fangirls) order them so come on Bruce, let's keep up the high standards.
