Fun fact - Zatanna’s father is Giovanni “John” Zatara, who first appeared in comics in 1938, in the same issue as Superman’s first appearance. So, as a character, he is older than Batman. From the beginning, he used the same backwards speech for magic that Zatanna uses.
Yea idk why they did that. Alan Moores run had already established the Swamp thing was never actually Alec Holland. This movie ruined that aspect of the character
The magical aspect of the DC Universe is quite fascinating and I really enjoyed this film for introducing me to that aspect of the DC Universe, including the brilliant casting of Matt Ryan as Constantine and Camilia Luddington as Zatanna (who is probably one of my favourite female comic-book hero, she is just such a likeable and fun character). I also learned more about other magical based DC character's from this film like Swamp-Thing, Etrigan/Jason Blood, Deadman, Felix Foust, Dr Fate, Spectre, Eclipso, etc...
Ah shit! Time for more DCAMU with Krysta. Honestly, it felt like yesterday when you posted JL vs TT, and now we’re at Justice League Dark! You really on the grind with these uploads! I see you!
Keanu Reeves played John Constantine in a live action film, but he showed using very little magic and more so on his occult detective aspect. He also lacked the British accent.
I never saw the movie all the way through, but I remember him using a crucifix-crossbow. Which after seeing this version of Constantine and the show, I can't bring myself to watch that old movie.
You know you are on another level of being a badass when a freaking ghost cant possess you and Grim repears are scared of you. God Damn Batman you cool!
That’s what always puzzled me whenever someone in this world questions something but yet forgets there is a team of superheroes that have an Amazon woman, aliens, a man with a magic ring, a kid who uses magic to turn into a bigger man, a half human/half cyborg, a man who runs fast, etc. Reminds me of an episode of Justice League when John Stewart and CCPD questioned Flash on whether or not he saw a talking gorilla and he points out to John that they have the phone numbers of 2 aliens and an Amazon woman.
What I think Batman was TRYING to say was that "Not every death has ties to aliens or the supernatural some people are just genuinely insane and overthinking doesn’t help"
@@K1ng1995 nope. Batman was jumping to conclusions and didn’t want to believe that could happen. Heck in the show Justice League the team didn’t believe Flash at first when he said he saw a talking gorilla and had to remind John (green lantern) that they have an alien and Amazon woman in their contacts
@@yazidboufous6541 I'd suggest Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing run. The New 52 runs by Snyder followed by Soule are pretty good as well. If you want to start from the very beginning I suggest the original storylines by Len Wein/Bernie Wrightson.
This is one of the best New 52 movies, a big part of that is because of Matt Ryan as John Constantine. The voice actor played the character in live-action on his own show prior to this but it was cancelled after only 13 episodes because of executive meddling from NBC. Luckily, the show got cannonized into the Arrowverse amd after this movie, Constantine returned to live action on Legends Of Tomorrow
@@destructo6t942 Ok, what's up with hollywood purposely doing that? They would usually would just say if the character was cast by a minority, they just "we felt that he/she felt more suited for the role." Now they are purposely counting out white people for a role for a character that was orginally white.
This is my FAVORITE animated film. Thanks to Constantine. I love the character and the man who voices him, but also portrays him on Legends of Tomorrow, Matt Ryan. He IS Constantine, through and through. The next film in the Dark series is a trip!!!! Enjoy this DC animated adventure. It is amazing and addictive. 😄😄
Technically the 'Purple Girl' is his servant......John Constantine is the Master and Owner of the House of Mysteries, and the 'Purple Girl' is the physical representation of the House......
There is a solo Constantine animated movie that takes place in this universe but it doesn't really connect to the universe as a whole and it's unclear when it takes place
@@TheJackedOLantern thought so too but it seems even Wikipedia had it listed in the DCAMU. And sort of is tied to the live action show due to Matt Ryan voicing Constantine.
Constantine is the MVP of this movie. Ever since the Constantine series, which was cancelled WAY too soon he became my 2nd favorite character of all time after Batman. This is in large part due to Matt Ryan’s amazing performance as John Constantine. There is no one else that I can ever see as John Constantine again.
Non powered heroes tend to be portrayed with higher willpower. They are, after all, humans involved in a world of nightmares. An exception would be magi and telepaths, psionics, etc.
Considering how much more miserable John Constantine is I don’t know. You gotta be lucky to get like Zatanna type magic cause with John his magic comes from pain and dealing with demons fucking sucks.
This movie really introduced me to my number 1 husbando. I am a Constantine simp because of these. Aside from that, this is one of my favorites of these movies.
@@barbarellabarbwire239 Oh I did. I marathoned the DCAMU. Can't say I love the entirely, but it was definitely enjoyable overall. And City of Demons was great!
I really dig Etrigan, I hope he’s in the next Injustice game. I think he and Constantine were both supposed to be in the second game but they didn’t use them. Also Zatana is easily the hottest looking chick in any of these new 52 films.
I'm kinda mad they don't do Zatana powers to justice its the same sentence but still backwards they just used a backwards machine on the actresses words unlike Young Justice who actually read it in the script with no machines needed just an actual line that's back wards but the sentences the same
There is a live action Justice League Dark project being lead by JJ Abrams for the DCEU. So there’s a lot to look forward to with these characters in the near future.
basically green lanterns are galactic police so they are assign to diffewrent places so hal is assigned somewhere else while john stewart that green lantern ius assigned to earth
in the DC universe people who can use magic are the :discarded ones: meaning people who have been rejected by their own and their craving to belong pulls them into the magic family
Dead Man is the guy with the white face. He has the power to possess people. Zatanna is the magical Woman. She practices magic by saying spelles backwards or like pig Latin. Etergan is the Demon character with red eyes. He has the soul of a Arthurian Knight fused with his demon half. He is like a Demon Hulk almost. Swamp Thing is awesome. There was a TV show based. On this guy in the 80s. It is on Tubi. The only magical character this doesn’t have who would fit in is Dr Fate. Marvel’s version of Swamp Thing is Man Thing.
OOOH shit!!!! I love this movie so much, I'm going to watch the full reaction first on patreon, it's been so long since I saw this movie. I love Dark movies
The reason that guy made it so that no women can speak in his hangout is purely for zatanna cause if she can't speak she can't use most of her powers and she is one of the most powerful magical characters in the dc universe that being he might also miss treat women
Bugs me how Constantine's characterization in this is basically just "giant dickhead who everyone hates." Like, he's snarky but not even that rude, and he gets shit done and saves people. Batman's a sourpuss, but his allies don't tell him to fuck off as soon he shows up. Comic Constantine interacts with a lot of people who don't trust him, and as a result he has a lot of sarcastic and unfriendly exchanges, but that's just because everyone he hangs out with is a magician and magicians are all poorly socialized backstabbers because magic is a vice and most people who get addicted to it end up sacrificing everything to get more of it. Constantine is actually pretty virtuous, as magicians go. But yeah, I think having all the other main characters constantly shit on him just for having a sarcastic attitude actually just makes the other characters seem weirdly self-righteous.
Batman in comics knows about magic and has some proficiency in recognizing, even using it. But he does not like it because it works on rules that do not get along with his rational mind. Edit: You do NOT want to be a mage in DC universe. They all pay a terrible price for what they can do and only do it because they are naturally born with those powers and need to control them or are addicted to that power. John Constantine got himself a blood transfusion from a demon to power up spells he could not handle before and while he tends to manage to save the world occasionally it is always a close call and those around him end up dead and their souls either damned or devoured. He is a conman, a liar and whenever he cares about someone he drags them to his life, that they cannot handle. There is a reason he is a star of comic series Hellblazer. No one who is around him for any length of time escapes unscathed. Zatana is one of the most powerful magic users in DC and is constantly in danger of losing herself like she almost did in this movie. If John Constantine did not snap her out of it she would have damned herself just to take out a mage they they would have handled anyway with sheer numbers. Raven is also using magic powered by her demonic heritage and if her emotions go out of control she risks summoning her father and end the world. Ragman wears a mystical cloak that consumes souls to allow him to be a superhero but he is connected to those souls so their suffering and sins are constantly with him. Swamp Thing is a plant avatar that is based on a scientist that was murdered and is constantly haunted by his past life he cannot get back, lack of soul, since Alec Holland is dead and control of Parliament of Trees that constantly want him to just go brutally destroy anything and everything damaging the greenery of THE WHOLE PLANET. Doctor Fate who is considered to be the most powerful magical hero in DC is possessed trough his helmet by a Lord of Order Nabu that forces him to meddle, usually with best intentions, in lives of others while being destructive to his own sanity. Using magic is not a curse in DC universe and not all of it is dark, but it is difficult and it is a burden, especially since it attracts the attention of wrong kind of beings to the user. Speaking of which, those three demons you saw in this movie are Raven´s brothers, Sons of Trigon.
This movie was so dope. I love it and I love John Constantine and Zatanna. I really wished there had been a movie where Raven joined Justice League Dark for a short while and partnered up with John, like those cheesy buddy cop movies, where they solve paranormal cases together. And John would have to deal with babysitting a teen, probably not wanting to get involved with kids. It might sound like a strange idea but it could also be fun. Here's hoping. XD
I have wondered why they weren't put together more often. Seems like he would be better equipped to help her with her father's containment. And other magical things.
26:57 one of the best lines in here Remember that etrigan only speaks in rhymes *etrigan*So constantine calls once more Just like a greedy wanton wh- Constantine: cut the rhymes and drop that git
Just a bit of info on John Constantine; He's a good guy who most who know him hate him. That's because he sees himself as one of the few people who are willing to do the shitty things that are necessary to keep the world/universe at large safe. He's a grade a bastard and does what's necessary because he sees himself as a lost cause already.
If you want to know more about Swamp Thing, I recommend watching the DC series 'Swamp Thing', it was sadly cancelled after one season due to some budget reasons but goddamn it is definitely one of DC's best shows alongside Doom Patrol. Its dark, gritty, good story and acting and has pretty good cgi. Please check it out if possible.
Fun fact: John Constantine once (I s*it you not) beat up Satan himself. Granted, he first tricked him into drinking holy water, but that doesn't make it any less impressive imo
John Constantine started as kinda the opposite of a magic user, it was kept close to his chest how much or if he had magic and was more reliant on wits.
First time I ever heard of Constantine was the Keanu Reeves live action movie about him. I enjoyed that film, but I NEVER knew he was a DC Comics character until MUCH later. Honestly, it was an identical scenario to the character of Blade, the Vampire hunter. I loved the Wesley Snipes movies, but I never knew Blade was part of the Marvel franchise until many years AFTER watching them.
If you can find it, you should check out the Constantine TV show. It was short lived, because they made the mistake of putting it on Nothing But Cancellations, but if was good and stared Matt Ryan.
It’s actually really interesting how most of the Justice League isn’t immune to magic and such, but Wonder Woman’s character is apart of the (new) Justice League Dark in the New 52. I’m not sure what everyone’s else’s pov is on it, but I love it. Personally, I really love Zatanna’s & Diana’s relationship with each other. Hoping they make a movie out of it or something 😭
Notice the 3 differences in approach towards the people hallucinating Wonderwoman: angry and judgemental Superman: disgusting Batman: let me help you(then when the baby is orphaned) I'm sorry
This one is great. The best Marvel animated movies are Dr Strange, Hulk Vs Wolverine, Hulk vs Thor, Planet Hulk is the best which is where parts of Thor Ragnorak too inspiration from.
I get it. It’s hal, not hank. I know that. I miss spoke. It’s not that big of a deal 💀
I hope no one judge you for the mistake, I did the same mistake during my watching with family during DC movies by calling G.L Ryan by mistake XD
It's all good ✌ just keep enjoying the movies 😁

When you realize Zatanna and Constantine can whip Superman's ass with simple magic.
Keanu Reeves played John Constantine in a live action film, but he showed using very little magic and more so on his occult detective aspect. He also lacked the British accent.
He was good for me though
That sounds terrible

And Constantine is so badass that even hell won't accept him in it
All demons would fight for his soul XD
His soul gonna start a war in hell
No, that is Lobo.
John Constantine started as kinda the opposite of a magic user, it was kept close to his chest how much or if he had magic and was more reliant on wits.
If you want a moving house they're called RVs
All I know is when she gets to justice league dark apokolips she's not gon be ready no one was tbh
fun fact swamp thing is so strong batman doesnt have a counter measure for him
Trivia: Zatanna's spells are just her saying commands backwards.
First time I ever heard of Constantine was the Keanu Reeves live action movie about him. I enjoyed that film, but I NEVER knew he was a DC Comics character until MUCH later. Honestly, it was an identical scenario to the character of Blade, the Vampire hunter. I loved the Wesley Snipes movies, but I never knew Blade was part of the Marvel franchise until many years AFTER watching them.
If you can find it, you should check out the Constantine TV show. It was short lived, because they made the mistake of putting it on Nothing But Cancellations, but if was good and stared Matt Ryan.
The voice actor for constantine plays Constantine on legends of tomorrow. Hes great
It’s actually really interesting how most of the Justice League isn’t immune to magic and such, but Wonder Woman’s character is apart of the (new) Justice League Dark in the New 52. I’m not sure what everyone’s else’s pov is on it, but I love it. Personally, I really love Zatanna’s & Diana’s relationship with each other. Hoping they make a movie out of it or something 😭

Felix Faust is the villain. I think he is from Wonder Woman’s rogue gallery.
"Who is this guy conjuring shit up?"
Very poor choice of words, since that's literally what he was doing.
Notice the 3 differences in approach towards the people hallucinating
Wonderwoman: angry and judgemental
Superman: disgusting
Batman: let me help you(then when the baby is orphaned) I'm sorry
I'm pretty sure 12:38 is going to be the most paused moment in the entire video.
For research purposes...
YESS!!! JL:D is my favourite DC run... mostly because I love magic in every way, shape, and form.
This one is great. The best Marvel animated movies are Dr Strange, Hulk Vs Wolverine, Hulk vs Thor, Planet Hulk is the best which is where parts of Thor Ragnorak too inspiration from.
I need more of Krystal in fishnets
