Justice League: Doom (2012) |
"
Were it not for some major departures from the source material,could have been the best entry in Warner Bros. Animation's DC Comics library, but it's definitely in the upper echelon of the consistently quality animated films of the DC Universe. "

"
At times reaches "Avengers" level of intensity, fun and exhilaration, which makes it all the more frustrating that a few missteps result in it simply being a good movie and not the post-Avengers game changer it could have been."
