Where does Justice League: War fall on the spectrum of DCU animated original movies? Every comic and DCU animation fan will walk away with a different answer. And debate will continue to rage as long as DC Entertainment sticks with The New 52. Being introduced to new incarnations of familiar characters can be exhilarating, particularly when creators are given the freedom to play. It can also be a frustrating experience, fraught with pitfalls and wrong turns. As a launch pad for the DCU's newly announced plans to develop a shared continuity among its animated movies, War plants plenty of intriguing seed and serves as a decent origin tale. It's flaws are pretty glaring, though, and it's more divisive than most. Warner's Blu-ray release isn't exactly reliable either. Its DTS-HD Master Audio track is excellent, but its video presentation is a bit too problematic and its supplemental package can be exhausted too quickly. Still, it's an entertaining flick and a solid disc. Rent it if you need to be sure. Otherwise take advantage of the low pricepoint and enjoy the take in the latest DCU animated original movie, flaws and all.
