The creepy-crawly heroes of the DC Universe have come out to play for Justice League Dark, the latest animated effort from DC Entertainment and a stark departure from what viewers have come to expect. Instead of featuring the statuesque, beautiful icons of the Justice League, this story pulls back the curtain on the supernatural heroes who might be mistaken for villains if you didn’t know any better. Exploring the dark depths of these lesser-known characters makes for a captivating and thrilling story, an excellent step into the weirder side of the superhero genre.
Justice League Dark isn’t a direct adaption of the comic of the same name, but rather loosely borrows its cast and concept. There’s a magical threat the Justice League isn’t fit to handle (people are imagining everyone around them as demons and taking violent measures to be rid of them), so Batman teams with sorcerer/conman John Constantine and stage-magician-who-does-real-magic Zatanna to round up a group of supernatural heroes that can help. As Constantine puts it, “The capes and tights crew? Useless against magic.” and so assembles the Justice League Dark.
There’s Deadman, a trapeze artist turned ghost who can possess other people; Jason Blood, a nice English fellow who Hulks out into the fire-breathing demon known as Etrigan; and Alec Holland aka Swamp Thing, a towering heap of salad with control over all plant-life. It’s learning about the history of these troubled and tragic figures, the tales of how they can do such wondrous things and the price paid to unlock those talents, that makes this movie such a big win. Justice League Dark is essentially an anthology of horror stories set in the DCU, all tied together by a straightforward yet enthralling and fast-moving plot.
The vocal performances are all a slam dunk save for Enrico Colantoni’s Faust, who does a corny, shrill voice as if no one told him that superhero movies aren’t purposely campy and over-the-top anymore.
While Zatanna holds her own as the sole female character of prominence, there is another character, not advertised in any of the clips or trailers, that shows up substantially different from how she appears in the comics. This character has such a rich history and fascinating array of abilities that it hurts to see her turned into something far lesser. Yes, characters can and should be altered to be a better fit for the screen, but not like this. For as high as DC’s animated flicks can soar, they still lack a fundamental understanding of how to include compelling and interesting female characters. Still, Justice League Dark is a great time and a much-welcome new flavor for DC’s animated slate.
Justice League Dark is so good that it should be used as the blueprint for the long-gestating live-action “Dark Universe” movie. It does justice to the main cast of characters by telling their tragic origin stories and showing off their quirky personalities that are light years away from the main Justice Leaguers. Matt Ryan owns the role of Constan...
Mar 15, 2021 · This four-hour cut is the kind of brazen auteurist vision that Martin Scorsese was calling for when he complained (rightly) that most modern superhero movies don't resemble cinema as he's always understood and valued it.
