A couple of years ago, the worlds of the Justice League AND RWBY extension crossed in Justice League x RWBY Comic series in 7 issues from Margaret Bennett, AnekeAND Mirka Andolfo. It has seen alternate versions of classic DC characters such as Bruce Wayne, Diana Prince and Clark Kent team up with Team RWBY. This year, the collaboration between Rooster Teeth and DC is growing with animated feature films. The first is Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Hunters, Part 1 and will be released on digital, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and Blu-ray on April 25.

Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One sees the Justice League face a new horror: adolescence! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern and Vixen are surprised to find that they have not only materialized in a strange world called Remnant, but have also been transformed into teenagers.

Can the combined forces of the Justice League and Team RWBY restore Remnant to normal before a superpowered Grimm destroys everything he knows?

Sounds interesting and like it could be fun. I know I’m a little hesitant because it sounds like a cool idea to me, but then again I’m not sure if he’s delivering that coolness in the trailer. Talking to some friends, they pointed out some areas of disappointment to them and animation is a theme that has popped up a couple of times. The film obviously uses RWBY extensionthe art style of and probably many of that team are involved. The art looks a lot like the recent volumes of RWBY and is certainly better than where the series started, but as I was writing this very article, I think I figured out what the deal is with the art and animation. This is a feature film and is labeled a DC animated film. Previous DC animated film projects still have killer animation JL x RWBY seems to run on the same budget as a standard episode. We expect animation from a film to be better than a series. Many times, more money and time is invested in a film to allow for this. JL x RWBY but it doesn’t seem to do it at all and therefore creates a feeling of cheapness, lack of investment and lack of epicness. It should look better with better lighting, more detail, smoother movement, etc.

JL x RWBY is directed by Kerry Shawcross (RWBY extension) and is written by Meghan Fitzmartin (Justice Society: World War II). Voice cast includes Lindsey Jones, Kara Eberle, Arryn ZechAND Barbara Dunkelmann reprising their roles as Team RWBY, as well as what appears to be voice acting debuts Natalie Alyn Lind (Gotham) as Wonder Woman, Chandler Riggs (Walking Dead) like Superman, and Nat Wolf (The blame in our stars) as Batman.
