Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Darker version of JL
It's an interesting take on core characters, a different perspective, but I prefer the original canon on the characters, but a good storyline overall.
Bruce Timm is back! This is an awesome take on JLA.
It's an Elsewhere story. Also an origin one, has mystery and violence.

Wow! What A Weird Ride!
So if you didn't realize what this movie was about from watching the trailer or reading the description, let me warn you...this is a little out there.
Let's start off by explaining the "Alternate Universe" idea a little. I'll try not to spoil too much. First, Superman has different parents. Wonder Woman is actually not from this planet. And Batman, is actually as his name implies, a BATman(i.e. a vampire). Don't let the cover art fool you. Even though you see the standard depictions of the DC Trinity in the background, they have nothing to do with this movie.
Now all that being said. It really was a great movie. The animation was just as good as all the previous DC cartoon movies. The writing and acting was also just as good. If you're a fan of alternate history stuff I think you'll like this. If you're like me and getting maybe a little tired of the same old story lines(seriously, if I have to see Krypton explode or Batman's parents die AGAIN, I'm going to hurl) then you will get sucked in as you watch it. Because since everything you know is wrong(as it pertains to this universe), then you have no idea what's about to happen. Which for characters that are decades older than most of us is a pleasant change.
If you're still unsure about this let me also remind you about where this comes from in real life. The same writer behind this also brought us Batman: The Animated Series. Need I say more? Seriously, go look up Bruce W. Timm. You should have no more questions after that.
This Combo Pack has the usual DC features: A Sneak Peek at the next DC movie(SPOILER! It's Batman: Bad Blood), a couple behind the scenes things, and a couple of Bonus Cartoons(Legion of Super Heroes "Phantoms", Superman: The Animated Series "Brave New Metropolis"). Plus, all these modern cartoons look extra sharp and really good in HD. Also, if you're like me you can let the kid use the DVD version ;)
In conclusion I really liked this movie. My daughter didn't seem interested partly because she LOVES Superman and Batman and these are not what she's used to. I would have given it 5 stars, but any movie where you have to concentrate on getting out of your own head can't be perfect.
