Justice League Dark is an animated film as a part of the DC animated universe. The outline of the story is a being called Destiny hypnotizes people into thinking they are seeing everyone as a trans dimensional beasts. Just as they are about to kill people, various members of the Justice League are in time to stop them. They then consider that magic could be involved with the current events. Batman grows suspicious and decides with the help of Zatanna to go to John Constantine to see if he has any insight on what is happening. With Constantine's help they form a team and come together to stop Destiny from causing chaos in the city.
The film starts off very differently to what I have seen through other DC animated films, this helps to establish just how mad people can be when they are being deceived into seeing something else. The cast contains Matt Ryan reprising the character of Constantine as he has done in the Amazon Series, Arrow and now the upcoming animated series on the CW. Jason O' Mara returns as Batman for his seventh time on the role, Nicholas Turturro voices Deadman a ghost of a living ghost of fallen acrobat Boston Brand, Grey's Anatomy star Camilla Luddington voices Zatanna an ex of Constantine's and Alfred Molina voices the villain Destiny a man who is willing to get revenge for what happened to him 500 years ago. There many other roles but it will go on for sometime so I decided to shorten it down.
Now its time for the negatives, the films story was very basic and like other DC animated films I have seen it was nothing special, which is a shame as it looked really good when in the trailer. Also Batman didn't feel like he was a part of the team he was just there for some familiarity, he just growled at everything which I'll admit I laughed at but he didn't suit the team in anyway apart from being Batman. Also the character of Swamp Thing is hardly in the movie either. Which I found was a shame as not many people would know about him and if he had a bigger role he might have actually been member able than most of the other characters.
Anyway negatives are down here's my overall opinion on the movie. Overall I thought
Justice League Dark was an average movie that had a lot of area to improve on. Some of the characters were good and some I felt weren't need at all like the Justice League (Including Batman). I felt using the actors from Constantine was a nice idea and hope to see more from them in the future years however I found the story was very basic but effective and the thought of a sequel might come but I think it was a one off movie. I would give Justice League Dark a 7/10.
