The best Justice League animated movie in my opinion. Like has been said before the only gripe I have is with some of the character designs, particularly the duckface lips on some of the male characters.
Ugh, you guys! The ANIMATION was _great_. The STYLE is what you didn't like. Bad animation would be inconsistent proportions, bad motion, coloring errors, etc. Please don't blend these concepts, the animators usually have to draw whatever style is given to them by the lead.
Or they just don't like the style. That's an acceptable reason. I love the DCAU as a whole, but I fuckin hate a lot of the designs after the 3rd Batman season.
The stylistic direction and the animation are two completely different things. The animation isn't bad if they decide to keep superman's head small, it's bad if movement and action is stilted.
this will never be replicated by the live movies. it's such a shame. Thomas Wayne, Aquaman and wonder woman and Martha Wayne was just amazing. I wanted them to run bigger comic runs in this universe.
I love this show....I wish they showed more pictures on what they were talking about though so i could join in. I haven't watched this since it came out some reminders would be nice. They did it with some characters but not with all of them.
it's actually kinda fun to laugh about the shit animation in this movie with a friend (while simultaneously fangirling over all the cool character shout outs).
Ok, I have to be honest I cried at the end of The Flashpoint comic when Barry goes to his mom fort he las time, and that's the only thing I didn't like of the movie, I thought that scene was missing.
Spoilers Anyone else thought at the end that Flash was going to have to be the one who killed his mother? I was literally saying "no they are fucking not. If they do this shit." And they didn't do it. That would have been amazing.
animation didn't bug me, love the movie. shit they kinda used this to sell the cw show, kinda like assault on arkham for suicide squad, or the upcoming justice league dark
As someone who has been both struck by lightning and exposed to chemicals from a fire I need to know what Flash used the second time because minus the crazy burns I've got the post first try life. It also wasn't at the same time. Does that mean Reverse Flash won in my timeline?
I agree with Bryan, the animation was terrible and it has got even worse with War and Throne of Atlantis. The eyes just piss me off , the faces are too wide and the noses are so big. This is extremely evident with Nightwing from Son of Batman and the follow ups. They should have used the young justice animation, even the under the red hood animation. Final Point, Superman in this looks like Rob Liefeld Captain America.
James Matthews and the story wasn't that great ether it does what a lot crappy event comics do, shock value done just for that not to be well handle or make sense.
This is where you're wrong. That stuff is not due to the animation, but rather the designs of the characters. The animation itself is great and that cannot be argued.
The animation is good but my criticism the drawing of Thomas Wayne. His mouth area is drooping and weird looking. Also, I can't tell from his skin tone if Thomas Wayne has a dark tan or is black.
Kevin Conroy always plays Bruce Wayne as the mask. Like Batman's voice is the real one and the higher Bruce Wayne voice is a face he puts on for the public. There is plenty of evidence of this in the Bruce Timm shows of Bruce Wayne dying in the alley with his parents and the bat taking over. When Batman reads the letter from his father his voice is different. It's not Batman, It's not the fake Bruce Wayne Batman wears. For just a moment, after reading that letter, Bruce Wayne came back to life.
I saw the movie a week ago, and I thought it was okay. Nothing that special, but pretty good. I liked the premise and the voice acting, and a bunch of good scenes. I do like this doomsday version of the future. If any justice league members would wage war, it would be Diana and Aquaman. Yaknow, not completely out of character Superman...
With the caveat that the execution of the animated film is somewhat better, I have never been a fan of Flashpoint as a storyline, not just because it gave us the garbage fire that is the New 52, but because the twist hinges on Flash (specifically Barry Allen, aka the man who died to save the multiverse) acting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of character and making stupid decisions that go against everything we know about him. I could live with that if this was from some low-level hack or some new kid who just moved into the writer's room, but this was Geoff Johns, the guy who pretty much started the retro revival phase of DC in the early 2000s - he should have known better really. Also, whilst I get the intent behind it, there's really no way to make the whole "time boom" line not sound incredibly dumb.
I really like this animation style a lot, myself. It may be because it does sort of walk the line between anime stylization and western. I don't mind things being stylized
I tend to agree with Bryan, I thought the animation sucked. And what made it even worse was the fact that there were _some_ good things about the designs, they just screwed it up by making Superman's head waaayy too small for his body, or making Aquaman's abdominal muscles look like they're sunken in, or making Wonder Woman's neck waaay too long, or...well, you get the picture. All-in-all, though, like Bryan said, I found it to be a really solid movie. Good story (it made sense with how they wrote it, I could follow along with it easily, and it didn't wrap its fist around the plot and shove it down your throat), well-written character backgrounds (Thomas Wayne as Batman especially) and overall well paced. So in the end I liked it, and would recommend seeing it at least once. I also like Justice League: War and would recommend seeing that as well.
Also I looked back at favourite DC Animated movies and now I want you guys to talk about MY favourite: Batman:Under the Red Hood Come on Bryan you gotta
The animation was fine, it flowed very well. Character design, or art style is how the characters look and that I will agree that this is the worst, the characters look terrible! The art in Superman Unchained was way better and that's one of my least favorite art style. When this movie first came out I thought it was pretty good. Then War and all the Damien Wayne movies came out and now I'm longing for when DC animation used to do good movies like Flashpoint.
I refer Justice league The Flashpoint Paradox simply as Flashpoint. the title is eh.. I wish Flashpoint Batman and Joker were canon because there connection makes a lot more sense.
RED HOOD REMEMBER THAT MOVIE AND DON"T YOU DARE REVIEW IT WITHOUT DOUG! In all honesty though, why haven't you guys reviewed Under the Red Hood yet? I find it to be easily one of the top 3 batman movies.
In my opinion its not that is lazy attempt of animation , its that they tried to copy the japanimation style as a way to sell it off as something people would want but if i want japanimation i will watch japanimation , when i watch comic films i want comic style not manga.
I'd like to see your take on the Batman Movies with Damien Wayne, which are Son of Batman, Batman vs. Robin and Batman Bad Blood and the "Spin-Off" Justice League vs. Teen Titans
You need to do Assault on Arkham, and Justice League VS Teen Titans. Assault on Arkham is Suicide Squad done right. Good fights, good characters, good jokes and good direction. JL v TT just kicks ass in all the right ways. Some of the best characters and character growth and change. Would Damian Wayne (as Robin) ever play DDR? No. Would he play DDR to show up Beast Boy and impress Raven? Maybe. The story is great, the action is great and it feels a lot more like teenagers, rather than children, than any other Teen Titan show I have seen before.
Why does this show look like it was filmed on 3 well placed toasters. Why does Nostalgia Critic look pretty decent and HD and this show looks like a soap opera on a bad day.
Flashpoint was super under used for the tv show, it ended after like 2 episodes, but they built it up so ahead of time, then they moved on to savitar, which really wasn't as interesting as what they could have done with flashpoint
Thats Funny First Flight and Flashpoint are my 2 favorite DC animated movies. The only Batman movie i really liked was Under the Redhood. Im not sure which movies they are talking about that keep them out of the top 10.
Why they gonna talking about the comic book, which give born to new 52 universe! Oh, nevermind, about animated movie, of course, what is that, show about comic books?
flash season 3 rushed the flashpoint storyline into 1 fucking episode i thought this season was gonna be entirely in the flashpoint universe then barry goes back in time and undoes what he did
I think they've been cutting the budgets to these films. I know that they stopped doing the short films because they weren't getting enough money from WB.
they cudda done flashpoint paradox which wudda been awesome for the entire season. Supergirl is part of cw and she has her own supermsn now. So they cudda done a faithful flashpoint storylines for the show ok they cudnt have wonderwoman and aquamans war but they cudda done something they cudda replaced oliver queen arrow with his dad as alternate arrow BUT NOOOO. they cudda done so much and didnt instead they did the storyline in one episode and barry goes back and fixes shit.
i hated season 3 episode 1 of the flash it pissed me off so much they cuddve done so much more i wanted an entire season in the flashpoint timeline and barry goes back and fixes shit but no the cw writers summed it all up into one episode
I never let flaws in production be the be and end all for my enjoyment of a piece. If a story and voice work is strong enough then it can carry me through animation flaws. Its similar to how I enjoy classic Doctor Who that has plenty of flaws in terms of visual presentation. Eveb for the time. It, like these DC animated films, had to contend with a limited budget.
i dissagree the animation style from flashpoint was fine dc animated movies have not gone down hill since then flashpoint was awesome, so was killing joke, batman assault on arkham was awesome loved the animation for that, justice league vs teen titans i cant wait for justice league dark
can we all just agree that Wonder Woman gutting the Shazaam kids is the most metal thing ever put into a DC animated film
What about aquaman almost pulling out cyborgs heart
Nathan Hill metal, more like mean spirited and hypocritical thing she has done and more so in context of movie.
metal as fuck!
Nathan Hill I'm pretty sure Thomas Wayne shooting Reverse Flash in the head was more metal.
I think it's safe to say that whole end scene was metal.
Dang. I thought the nostalgia critic was reviewing the flashpoint animated movie.
*the
thank you
me to
I was so excited for it
Yes. Me as well.
The best Justice League animated movie in my opinion. Like has been said before the only gripe I have is with some of the character designs, particularly the duckface lips on some of the male characters.
Ugh, you guys! The ANIMATION was _great_. The STYLE is what you didn't like. Bad animation would be inconsistent proportions, bad motion, coloring errors, etc.
Please don't blend these concepts, the animators usually have to draw whatever style is given to them by the lead.
It was visually displeasing to them, so they called it bad.
Megami Tem
Obviously? I'm just saying going forward they should be aware of the distinction.
theyre just ignorant
Or they just don't like the style. That's an acceptable reason. I love the DCAU as a whole, but I fuckin hate a lot of the designs after the 3rd Batman season.
The stylistic direction and the animation are two completely different things. The animation isn't bad if they decide to keep superman's head small, it's bad if movement and action is stilted.
This was my favourite justice league movie
I can't wait for them to review trouble in Tokyo
Nicely timed catch up just before Flash Season 3, thanks guys :D
Personally I don't see a problem with the animation in this movie. Looks like complaining for the sake of it. Great movie overall.
Bryan Porter's the most vocal about having issues with the movie, yet he ends up liking it more than everyone else lol
this will never be replicated by the live movies. it's such a shame. Thomas Wayne, Aquaman and wonder woman and Martha Wayne was just amazing. I wanted them to run bigger comic runs in this universe.
I love this show....I wish they showed more pictures on what they were talking about though so i could join in. I haven't watched this since it came out some reminders would be nice. They did it with some characters but not with all of them.
I love you guys! You're all like family members I get to hang out with every week! Don't ever change!
I just found this video and hearing them talking about the flash show going to do it better made me chuckle
Have they done Under the Red Hood yet? That's one of my favorite DC animated movies. That and Dark Knight Returns
Yeah they've done both those as animated movies and they're phenomenal
Under the Red Hood is my second favorite, just after mask of the Phantasm.
People, quit treating Walter like shit. Each show performs their own way, so don't come here if you've got nothing critical to say about it.
I love tis movie but the animation was so weird
You're talking about Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, right? And not some completely different movie?
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is one of mine favorite movie love the art and action
it's actually kinda fun to laugh about the shit animation in this movie with a friend (while simultaneously fangirling over all the cool character shout outs).
Another thing about the flashpoint costumes is most of them mimic the flash’s outfit
alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar este vídeo subtitulado al español. no entiendo ingles :(
I don't think they will translate it.
Pues aprendes.
I LOVE flashpoint paradox
Ok, I have to be honest I cried at the end of The Flashpoint comic when Barry goes to his mom fort he las time, and that's the only thing I didn't like of the movie, I thought that scene was missing.
I disliked how the movie had Martha go full maniac right after Bruce was killed. The slow change in the comic made it believable.
Flashpoint is awesome and also the animation is BRILLIANT!!!! LOVE IT!!!
*🎶 Flash a-ah*
*Savior of the Universe*
*Flash a-ah*
*He'll save every one of us 🎶*
Spoilers
Anyone else thought at the end that Flash was going to have to be the one who killed his mother? I was literally saying "no they are fucking not. If they do this shit." And they didn't do it. That would have been amazing.
I see Walter's growing out the green arrow goatee! Nice
animation didn't bug me, love the movie. shit they kinda used this to sell the cw show, kinda like assault on arkham for suicide squad, or the upcoming justice league dark
Next TIme the Batman Movies with Damian Wayne (Son of Batman,Batman vs Robin, Batman bad blood) were really awesome
I wanna see Lauren cohan as joker now lol
And Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Thomas Wayne batman
As someone who has been both struck by lightning and exposed to chemicals from a fire I need to know what Flash used the second time because minus the crazy burns I've got the post first try life. It also wasn't at the same time. Does that mean Reverse Flash won in my timeline?
please discuss Justice League crisis on two earths and Justice League war.
I agree with Bryan, the animation was terrible and it has got even worse with War and Throne of Atlantis. The eyes just piss me off , the faces are too wide and the noses are so big. This is extremely evident with Nightwing from Son of Batman and the follow ups. They should have used the young justice animation, even the under the red hood animation. Final Point, Superman in this looks like Rob Liefeld Captain America.
James Matthews and the story wasn't that great ether it does what a lot crappy event comics do, shock value done just for that not to be well handle or make sense.
I partially agree, but it did spawn Flashpoint Batman which is so cool.
I found it meh I thought Justice League War was alot better
This is where you're wrong. That stuff is not due to the animation, but rather the designs of the characters. The animation itself is great and that cannot be argued.
The animation is good but my criticism the drawing of Thomas Wayne. His mouth area is drooping and weird looking. Also, I can't tell from his skin tone if Thomas Wayne has a dark tan or is black.
oh look the evil doppelganger of walter
Kevin Conroy always plays Bruce Wayne as the mask. Like Batman's voice is the real one and the higher Bruce Wayne voice is a face he puts on for the public. There is plenty of evidence of this in the Bruce Timm shows of Bruce Wayne dying in the alley with his parents and the bat taking over.

I do like this doomsday version of the future. If any justice league members would wage war, it would be Diana and Aquaman. Yaknow, not completely out of character Superman...
Oh flash s3 flashpoint, oh the things you could have done....
At least the Flashpoint movie was fun - definitely one of my DC animated favourites
their bodies designs are laughably outrageous in this film
With the caveat that the execution of the animated film is somewhat better, I have never been a fan of Flashpoint as a storyline, not just because it gave us the garbage fire that is the New 52, but because the twist hinges on Flash (specifically Barry Allen, aka the man who died to save the multiverse) acting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of character and making stupid decisions that go against everything we know about him.

I really like this animation style a lot, myself. It may be because it does sort of walk the line between anime stylization and western. I don't mind things being stylized
Can you please do Justice League Doom? It's one of my favorites :)
I tend to agree with Bryan, I thought the animation sucked. And what made it even worse was the fact that there were _some_ good things about the designs, they just screwed it up by making Superman's head waaayy too small for his body, or making Aquaman's abdominal muscles look like they're sunken in, or making Wonder Woman's neck waaay too long, or...well, you get the picture.

So in the end I liked it, and would recommend seeing it at least once. I also like Justice League: War and would recommend seeing that as well.
Walter looks like Jake from VSauce3 in the intro.
I love this movie, but I completely agree with all of the comments about the animation and character designs.
This is my favorite DC animated film but yes, the character designs are disgustingly bad.
Do Superman/Batman: Public Enemies next!
Saying things are happening too quick when you are talking about the Flash gave me a laugh.
Also I looked back at favourite DC Animated movies and now I want you guys to talk about MY favourite:
Batman:Under the Red Hood
Come on Bryan you gotta
This thumbnail is giving me life❤️❤️⚡️⚡️
under the red hood. black mask is great in that.
The animation was fine, it flowed very well. Character design, or art style is how the characters look and that I will agree that this is the worst, the characters look terrible! The art in Superman Unchained was way better and that's one of my least favorite art style. When this movie first came out I thought it was pretty good.

I refer Justice league The Flashpoint Paradox simply as Flashpoint. the title is eh.. I wish Flashpoint Batman and Joker were canon because there connection makes a lot more sense.
I'd like to know your thoughts on the dark knight returns, batman vs dracula, or JL crisis on two earths
Dark Knight Returns next?
RED HOOD REMEMBER THAT MOVIE AND DON"T YOU DARE REVIEW IT WITHOUT DOUG! In all honesty though, why haven't you guys reviewed Under the Red Hood yet? I find it to be easily one of the top 3 batman movies.
Bateman under the red hood is the best D.C. Animated movie
What!? The animation of flashpoint is great. The style is weird but it's not bad.
In my opinion its not that is lazy attempt of animation , its that they tried to copy the japanimation style as a way to sell it off as something people would want but if i want japanimation i will watch japanimation , when i watch comic films i want comic style not manga.

No. Would he play DDR to show up Beast Boy and impress Raven? Maybe. The story is great, the action is great and it feels a lot more like teenagers, rather than children, than any other Teen Titan show I have seen before.
Grim Reaper I liked JL vs. TT way more than the previous JL movies in that trilogy, it also reminded me of Teen Titans 2003 a lot too.
Channel AWESOME!!!
What is your favourite Avengers Civil War Meme
You know the Steve vs Tony ones
or the planet hulk one
superman vs the elite was a good movie...the ending was great
Under the Red Hood! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease?
They should review Justice League: The New Frontier, that movie was awesome.
Have they done Mask of the Phantasm yet?
Tfw they use the same music as In Bob We Trust.
Why does this show look like it was filmed on 3 well placed toasters. Why does Nostalgia Critic look pretty decent and HD and this show looks like a soap opera on a bad day.
Loved the book and movie it almost it was succinctly like the comic
Flashpoint was super under used for the tv show, it ended after like 2 episodes, but they built it up so ahead of time, then they moved on to savitar, which really wasn't as interesting as what they could have done with flashpoint
Under the Red Hood or the two Dark Knight Returns movies :)
You guys should do justice league: doom, and superman batman apocalypse...
Gods and Monsters next.
You guys should do Justice League: A New Frontier.
drunk ass Walt. drunkenly fucking up spoilers and cutting everyoneoff
We get it you guys on this channel didn't like Batman v Superman. Just focus on the subject material you are presenting.
Did we mention BvS?
Yes one of the lady with the brunette hair kept making a joke about the movie and how they showed who the characters are.
But to be honest I stopped watching the video at the 5 minute mark it just wasn't that interesting.
Right. No one mentioned BvS, but cool. Thanks for the 5 mins.
But we got Doomsday! XD
no offense I'm surprised they didn't do this earlier
Thats Funny First Flight and Flashpoint are my 2 favorite DC animated movies. The only Batman movie i really liked was Under the Redhood. Im not sure which movies they are talking about that keep them out of the top 10.
Omg... DC DID THE YAOI ANATOMY.
Flashpoint aquaman looks REALLY stupid.
I liked the animation style
wasn't there 5 people
The animation was fine, but the actual style was pretty messed up in terms of proportions of the characters.
Why they gonna talking about the comic book, which give born to new 52 universe!
Oh, nevermind, about animated movie, of course, what is that, show about comic books?
flash season 3 rushed the flashpoint storyline into 1 fucking episode i thought this season was gonna be entirely in the flashpoint universe then barry goes back in time and undoes what he did
I think they've been cutting the budgets to these films. I know that they stopped doing the short films because they weren't getting enough money from WB.
Justice League Doom (2012)
they cudda done flashpoint paradox which wudda been awesome for the entire season. Supergirl is part of cw and she has her own supermsn now. So they cudda done a faithful flashpoint storylines for the show ok they cudnt have wonderwoman and aquamans war but they cudda done something they cudda replaced oliver queen arrow with his dad as alternate arrow BUT NOOOO. they cudda done so much and didnt instead they did the storyline in one episode and barry goes back and fixes shit.
i hated season 3 episode 1 of the flash it pissed me off so much they cuddve done so much more i wanted an entire season in the flashpoint timeline and barry goes back and fixes shit but no the cw writers summed it all up into one episode
Where the DC animated films started to go to crap. How about doing one of the best DC animated films next, The New Frontier.
this The New Frontier was awesome
Review Smallville
are they complaining about the animation or the designs?
I never let flaws in production be the be and end all for my enjoyment of a piece. If a story and voice work is strong enough then it can carry me through animation flaws. Its similar to how I enjoy classic Doctor Who that has plenty of flaws in terms of visual presentation. Eveb for the time. It, like these DC animated films, had to contend with a limited budget.
i gave them a few chances to win me over but honestly this shit sucks. i really wanted to like this show but it just doesnt do it for me.
Mystery of batwoman please
Crisis on two earths next
Justice League Gods and Monsters PLEEEEASE
i dissagree the animation style from flashpoint was fine dc animated movies have not gone down hill since then flashpoint was awesome, so was killing joke, batman assault on arkham was awesome loved the animation for that, justice league vs teen titans i cant wait for justice league dark
I agree, that the animation was shit. It really took a toll on how i wanted to like this movie since its one of my favorite dc events.
The best animated movie of DC comics, No discussion.
Grifter, always remember men
Can y'all review Batman: Mask of the Phantasm? Please?
