I loved the focus of Raven and Damien. Cyborg's subplot was great and it paid a great homage to the comic books.Great voice acting and casting in that department. Although I will always love Kevin Conroy's voice as Batman, I am getting used to Jason O'Mara.The story wasn't bad but I would have liked it if the fight was more even. I just didn't see the point of it if it was going to be one-sided.I'm also tired of Superman being the focal point. Something happens to him, the world has to stop. Granted the film leans on Raven heavily, which again, is good, but DC just has this bad habit of making Superman the end-all and be-all of DC and it wears on the over all effectiveness and impact of the other characters, which thus hurts the over all plot.I thought the set up was a little long. The climax seemed to be drawn out a little. I think that's what took my interest away.The overall plot seemed a little weak. DC wants to engage kids, but also young adults and the few older parents that will be watching this with their kids. I just feel it wasn't as engaging as other films have been over the years.Not horrible, just not special, like some of the past films were.

I had been really looking forward to this title, as I was a fan of both "Justice League" and "Young Justice". Unfortunately, this really falls flat. It was certainly not what I was expecting.For starters, it was disappointing to see the JL operating with an incomplete roster, with Green Lantern and Aquaman missing. The opening scene, where mention is made that they're fighting The Legion of Doom, piqued my interest briefly. This was far from entertaining though as there were only 4 villains involved, without a Black Manta, Giganta or Sinestro anywhere to be seen.My interest again returned when the image of Titans Tower appeared. Sadly, once again, a mere cast of 4 uninteresting and somewhat flat Titans appeared, with irritating character voices and 2 dimensional personalities. So in short, the characterization was really poor in this movie.As an adult, I found some scenes embarrassing and cringe worthy to watch, and chose to Fast Forward the entire carnival scene. Maybe this movie was made to appeal to children, but I have felt more comfortable watching "The Challenge of the Superfriends".By the time the final battle happened, I was already checking my Facebook messages on my iPhone, and wondering what housework needed to be done.I really wanted this movie to be better, but truthfully, this was a really poor effort. When you hear that the two greatest DC superhero teams are battling each other, you expect fireworks. Unfortunately this provided less sparks than a wet Roman Candle.
