Crossovers are nothing new as they've been around for a very long time however it's usually best to do a crossover when both properties are still culturally relevant. This isn't the case for this crossover tho as RWBY has been relevant for years now and so doing a crossover featuring those characters doesn't make sense neither does it make sense to have the other half of the crossover feature the Justice League who very sadly also haven't been relevant for some time and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE of the film that has one mouthful of a title with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League X RWBY Super Heroes & Huntsmen Part One".
The plot of this film is the Justice League find themselves transported to the world of Remnant where they are transformed back into teenagers and so with the help of some of the heroes of Remnant the Justice league have to find a way back to their own world before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featuring / Presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty rather thin at best which is understandable since this is only the first part of a two part film but it's still something that's a major issue with this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Lindsay Jones as Ruby Rose and Chandler Riggs as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman. Also starring in this film is Kara Eberle as Weiss Schnee , Arryn Zech as Blake Belladonna , Nat Wolff as Bruce Wayne / Batman , Natalie Alyn Lind as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman , Barbara Dunkelman as Yang Xiao Long , David Errigo, Jr. as Barry Allen / The Flash , Miles Luna as Jaune Arc , Jeannie Tirado as Jessica Cruz / Green Lantern , Jen Brown as Pyrrha Nikos , Tru Valentino as Victor Stone / Cyborg , Samantha Ireland as Nora Valkyrie , Ozioma Akagha as Vixen , Neath Oum as Lie Ren , Shannon McCormick as Professor Ozpin , Aaron Dismuke as Oscar Pine , Tiana Camacho as Glynda Goodwitch , Jason Douglas as Jacques Schnee and Tara Platt as Kali Belladonna.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films cast doing their absolute best to make this films script work for them however this films script just doesn't give the cast anything to work with interms of what their characters respective personalities even are and so this films cast just can;t turn in that great of a performance because this films script just won;t allow for it.
Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rooster Teeth who of course also do the animation for the RWBY web series as well. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was OK at best as even tho this films animation is good for a RWBY product it's still very cheap looking and very uninspired with the backgrounds just looking generic.
Out of all the crossovers that DC have done recently this one seems the most weird and out their as RWBY doesn't have that large of a fanbase and doesn't leave alot of room for new and fun combinations. Now contrast this with Batman VS Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the TMNT still having a very large and dedicated fanbase to this day an the fact that that film gave us alot of fun combinations it makes this film feel more like a soulless cash grab then it already is as the only reason that I can think of to make this film is the fact that they did a crossover comic in 2021 called RWBY X Justice League and another one just this year which is called simply just DC/RWBY neither of which have their story adapted for this film.
This movie does have a strong anime influence which from what little I remember of RWBY is very in touch with that show and with that franchise. With that being said however it doesn't work with the DC characters as having them do a joke that you'd only see in an anime just looks weird coming from Wonder Woman or having any of the DC characters pull an expression that would only be done in an anime just doesn't work with those characters because those characters wouldn't act like their in an anime where as the characters in RWBY would act like their in an anime and so then it works so much more better with those characters then it does the DC characters because the RWBY characters are designed like that and that's really not the case for the DC characters.
For some strange reason even tho is the first part of a two part film Part Two hasn't even been announced yet. Which given how this film ends it makes me wonder if it was even planned to make this film a two part film or if there just making Part Two up as they go along as they wouldn't end this film they way that they do if they already had Part Two in the can and good to go and if this was planned to be a two part film I have to wonder why they ended this film the way that they did as this film wraps everything up pretty nicely by the end of it.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty minuets and two seconds. Which even for these direct to DVD animated DC movies is such a short amount of time even more so when you take into account that more then half of the people ho will be watching this movie would most likely have never even seen RWBY and the other half would have most likely not read anything from DC in years and so you'd basically have to introduce both sets of characters and the world of Remnant and still tell a good story and you just can't do that with this short of a running time and having a longer running time would also help with this films pretty bad pacing which rages from being super slow to being super fast all in the exact same scene.
So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. Which given that this film is directed by someone who's mostly known for working on RWBY is to be expected and it was fun seeing these characters team up in action sequences I just wish that we got alot more action scenes as the ones that we got were really fun and exciting to see in the film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this is a crossover which will most likely not please that many people but I hope that i'm wrong as there are some really fun things to be found in this very film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official RWBY fandom wiki page and the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the official RWBY fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official RWBY fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
