Justice League X RWBY is fun but didn't need to be a two parter. 

This feels like a shipping fan fiction.

I said it before and I'll say it again. This is the kind of crossover I expect from fanfiction.

This is what we would expect from a fanfiction.

We all know the real reason B was gonna stay behind is because his 'adoption' reflexes are kicking in and he needs time to get the paperwork sorted

They should've used the DC sidekicks instead of the heroes. It's so weird to age down the older characters

There's also the point that by literally every viable metric available, Bruce IS a warrior. He is a crusader; endlessly and thanklessly. A dark Knight. End of. He's mastered how many martial arts' styles. Fights routinely against beings so powerful that if they wanted he's spaghetti paste on the sidewalk - and doesn't run or cower in his mansion/batcave protected by the fortune that he's also managed to BUILD on. That was originally given by his parents BUT I think a LOT of people who denegrate him for that point don't understand exactly what it takes to not only MAINTAIN that point, but to build it to greater heights. He paid for the Watchtower for cripes sake. Like it was nothing. That's how much he wants to protect the world he lives on. He's built a semi army with child soldiers who grew up from variants of his same cloth, just to be sure he had a decent legacy to keep that protection of Gotham up after he's gone. Another point is that in Canon, every single time his character has gotten the powers that Clark has or better - he's gone full dictator and A God AM I. To the point his friends have to whoop his arse just to smack some sense back into his thick skull. That's how stubborn he is. Cyborg is also as has been pointed out around Senior in High School age (maybe first year of college on scholarships) when he managed to die and be "rebuilt" He's not like the other heroes. He's most noteably a long-standing member of the Teen Titans before he graduated to the JLA.

Jess and jaune were the best part of the movie and I want more of them in part 2.

I also found it weird that none of the dc characters compared Grimm to any monsters in their world like the parademons. I guess you can excuse it with the memory wipe, but i think they were comparing stuff while still having bad memory

Haven't seen the movie, but I just wanted to say that I really like how Cyborg looks with dreads. They're probably not practical for the situations he usually ends up in, but they look really good on him.

idk about Bruce flirting with Weiss, but Cybrog/Victor is often either a teenager or very young adult; anywhere between 13 to early-20s. Even if they say they were adults, Victor's mean age is like 16-17, so that's not quite as weird; depending on which iteration of the JL we're talking about. Even in the DCAU movies he's generally implied to be closer in age to the Teen Titans than the rest of the Justice Leauge; which are mostly in their 30, 40s, and even 50s or 60s in come cases. They don't ever get real particular movie-to-movie about who's what age, but tldr: Victor flirting with someone who's between 17-19 isn't as wholly off-base as it might seem. That said, I still got nothing on Bruce and Weiss. Honestly, given how hard Timm shipped him and Barbra it's not too out of character though; depending on which DCAU Batman we're talking about.

Somebody please tell me...DOES..CYBORG...SAY...BOOYAH?

Well said. I appreciate your analyses of out-of-character the various characters are.

The only reason I have for watching this movie is because my dad bought the DVD for his DC movie collection, and I have to watch it with him to explain the lore of RWBY and who the RWBY characters are, so he wouldn’t be totally lost

Apparently jaune and jessica seem to be most popular ship in the movie

Aw man, i was going to watch this because i thought it took place during the Beacon arc, which would've been a nice return to RWBY's glory days and when the characters were likeable. Hearing fhat it's ship heavy too is another good reason to wait for a discount or just not get it because 20$ is too much. Thanks for the review MJ!

I would love to hear your opinion on Nora getting a hit on Barry taunting everyone.

Considering that Team RWBY is made up of teenagers, it would've just been better if they teamed up with the Teen Titans.

I really don't get Crwby's deal with shipping characters so badly. And when I mean "shipping characters so badly" I mean how bad the shippings are written and how bad the choices of characters they use. This isn't the first time relationships in Rwby are questionable. They changed Adam into Blake's ex boyfriend and created Illia who was a lesbian Adam who had a pining for Blake and accidently made them look like creepy adults wanting to get with a teenage girl. Then there's Oscar who's the new body for Ozpin, an implied romantic interest for Ruby and Nora's surrogate son/ little brother who she sometimes flirts with. Now with the Justice League, they de-age them into teens, acknowledge as such, but still pair them up with already established teens from another franchise. I don't get these fucking writers......

In the context of the dc world bruce not having powers yet still choosing to fight God's aliens qnd monsters as a human is what makes him special He lives in the dc world were he could easily get powers from pills or learn magic but he dosnt relay on those things he uses his intellect and pushes his body to the human limit This bruce was just a sad emo boy

I have some interesting ideas concerning a couple points you brought up: 1. Flash possessed by Kilgore. It's possible that while Kilgore possessed Flash, he allowed Barry to continue having control over it while Kilgore worked subconsciously. Like how a computer virus operates in the background unnoticed. 2. Which RWBY villain helped Kilgore. It's more than likely that Watts is the other culprit working with Kilgore given his background in science and technology, but there is another possible I'd like to throw out there. Merlot from RWBY Grimm Eclipse. He was also a mad genius with a vendetta against team RWBY for ruining his plans. And he did evade capture at the end of the game.

EVERYONE likes the side plot between Green Knight, just like we all hoped Brainiac was the big bad.Part 2 might not be needed, but I hope it's done in the DCAU art style. I kinda wanna see Jaune in that style. And for Green Knight to continue in Part 2. Also, Watts is the villain. He's literally the only choice.

To be honest I found it mostly boring more then anything. I get their teens but I hate way they depict Batman and I really think they were pretty mean to Cyborg. I mean Nora got all pissy with him cause he saved her life. And then he apologized for it. Like girl. I remember a scene from Fullmetal Alchemist where the main character Edward saved a girl named Lan Fan. She said in the same pissy voice "I don't need your help" to which Ed snapped back and said then act like it [something like that. It's not a one for one quote] I just feel like the Justice League weren't very good and the RWBY characters were fine but boring.

With the Justice League becoming teenagers, it reminds me of an episode when they turn into kids. And I liked that they still have Diana and Bruce have a thing 🥺 I like them together in the DC universe.

Distracted by teenage angst & shipping is hilarious.

I really think the comic had a better premise than this, where the Justice League members were born in Remnant and seeing how growing up in this world affects them. Honestly, I think Batman as someone who grew up in Atlas and dealing with how faunus are treated there is a lot more interesting than Batman wanting to stay in Remnant since he has powers there, especially since stories where Batman gets were powers aren't that uncommon, like when he was on Zur-En-Arrh and got the powers of Superman.

Ok so i know all of the DC heroes are older than 20 WW being the oldest since she was in WW2. However the RWBY cast are also adults, everyone but Ruby entered the school at 17 and they spent 2 years there. I'm not sure how much time has passed between volume 3 and 7 but i know over 1 year has passed so even Ruby (at 15 when she entered beacon) is an adult by the time this crossover take place.

Oscar: Punching bag no matter the reality.

finally a hairdo that fits Cyborg, for as long as i could remember Cyborg's design always suffers the hair problem, either he has to go bald or like that time he has half an afro

Honestly, I’m surprised there was no interaction between Jaune and Wonder Woman. I figured he would have mentioned how much she reminded him of Pyrrha and that he feels safe whenever she’s around because of that. Oh well. At least what we got with him and Jessica Cruz is great. Honestly, to me, anything with Jaune is usually done great. Keyword being ‘usually’. No one in the RWBY series go through without a f*ck up.

Honestly the only scene that made scene that I liked was Jaune and the green lantern, there synergy was good and I like how they were just tryna help each other with stuff, no conflict no bad blood.

This crossover was fun for me. I know some don’t like it but again, crossovers are meant to be fun and not that serious. I do enjoy seeing the Justice League in the style of the RWBYverse and seeing the designs still made sense for what we got. I won’t deny it dragged and had some parts that could’ve been done better. But again, it was all in good fun

I wish we got to see RWBY in the Tommorowverse than vice versa. When you forget they're the Justice League it's not a bad movie. The dumb love triangles, most of the League's costumes, and BatBruce didn't sit well with me. If they teamed up with Young Justice (including Arsenal/Zatana/Rocket) instead then the juvenile interactions would feel appropriate.

I like that people behind this movie decited to use an obsure Flash villain insted od some big name DC villain since it feels like DC as a brand is mostly using allready well known characters in there media with the lesser known ones just being refrences or cameos

I feel they should’ve made it be the alternate, RWBY universe versions of the League instead of this kind of weird way of doing it, that way they don’t need to be de-aged or memory wiped and their powers can be explained away as semblances and the like.

They need to focus their time and resources in making the ACTUAL show first and foremost

Jaune and Jessica carried this movie.

I'm half expecting the rwby villain to be some tie in with the arrow fell game or its the villain from the Grimm eclipse game.

I hope that we actually do get a part 2 I'm still waiting for the Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel

People will probably hate for this but I want to see a part 2 of this crossover. Sorry not sorrry.

They did batman dirty in this.

Well, the movie established that the Justice League was made teenagers so that their emotions would be more volatile. They wouldn't be thinking properly with their adult minds. So Batman thinking about going to remnant for powers would make sense since his teen emotions are effecting him.

WHO TF IS MESSING WITH MY BAT BOY, HE IS GREAT BECAUSE HE IS A HUMAN, HOW DARE THEY

I keep seeing discussion on this movie (or well 2) as to why it exist, etc etc. It's just. There's nothing to really discuss. It exist because WB went "Make this two part crossover between your IPs" to two companies they own... so they did because that's just what having a mother company is like. Like there really isn't anything deeper there like, love, dislike or hate the crossover that's why it exist. Don't ask me why Kilg%re is spelled like that though, that's just... some weird choice Mike Barron made in the late 1980s when he created the character for his Flash run. Just one of those things you kinda just gotta shrug and go "comics lol".

Why couldn't RWBY do a crossover with "Monster Hunter Stories Ride-On" or "Monsuno"?!

I honestly hate RWBY's saturday morning-like campiness. Its so hard ro get into. And seeing it be done to DC characters makes me think this is such a cash grab.

But if it wasn’t a two-parter, they couldn’t do one where they end up in a simulation of the DC universe!

The villian an remnant side is totally Watts, right? Like, hes the only one with enough technical know-how to set this up.

As a seasoned Rooster Teeth veteran, I am highly disappointed to see a company go from 3 dudes in a college dorm playing Halo to the most generic Wattpad fan fiction.

I thought it was funny when Flash was like “Looks like I made it to the final battle!” In Part 1 of a two parter. I very much enjoyed this, but it does suffer from Part 1 syndrome by meandering on certain plot points to make Part 2 more enticing. I personally don’t think it’s Watts, because he’s one of the few members of Salem’s team that doesn’t really have much beef with Team RWBY and had it out for Atlas and Ironwood. It would be nice if it was the villain from Grimm Eclipse, since apparently that game is canon and would be fun due to Killg%re being an obscure DC villain and Merlot being an obscure RWBY villain. I wasn’t bothered too much by the DC characters being a tad out of character, as I felt the narrative presented made it acceptable. Jaune and Jessica were the surprise stand outs, but I also enjoyed Weiss and Bruce’s dynamic, and Yang and Blake having fun with Diana. After what I felt was an emotional Volume 9, it was nice seeing RWBY be fun and breezy again. Looking forward to Part 2 to decide if it really needed to be a two parter.

Bruh even if it's not cannon dosnt the idea that for the rwby gang the fact that other worlds exist, wouldn't that break their perspectives?

My most abbreviated feelings for this movie are: -it was mid but I guess I'm glad I watched it? I'm worried my feelings on rwby have reached the "spoon feed me crap to satisfy the hunger." Phase. -this movie prolly should have been a wonder woman stand alone crossover with rwby as she was the only one I had no complaints about. Jessica's plotline with jaune was fine but if I had to choose between the 2 I'd choose Diana. Prolly would have been a more pointless, harmless and more fun movie.

I don't quite understand Ruby's shaken up lack of confidence as a leader in this movie. By this point in V7 when Ruby had chosen to withhold things from Ironwood, the whole crew respected, and had sticked by Ruby's decision. Even before that in V6. Qrow had emotionally shut down from everyone, and Ozpin left them for a little while. Putting Ruby in a position where she had to step up as a leader. And she did great. I can understand Ruby feeling upstagged by Superman, her feeling overshadowed. It makes sense, this is the Man of Steel we're talking about here. A founding member of the Justice League, one of the trinity. And, in this crossover, he certainly demonstrated his many years of combat experience by making decisions on the fly. But seeing Ruby back down so easily? Not making the JL characters hear her out? Nah.

also, it's kinda telling that they went with everyone's v1~v3 outfits. those were iconic.

There's been a theory that the Remnant Villain is Dr. Merlot from RWBY Grimm Eclipse. You ever play that?

The movie was directed by Shawcross but it was written by one of DCs comic writers.

As a dc fan this does not do dc justice. Here is a list i made that could help the flim. One ether have the dc heroes be adult or have teen dc heroes. Robin, Superboy, Raven, Starfire, and kid flash and so on. Two a better villain, Braniac or Darkseid, with deathstroke and zod as goons plus whatever rwby villain. Finally no cringe shipping. Keep the dc characters as they are.

Cyborg,the OG Third Wheel Guy.😎

I also felt nostalgic for the first 3 volumes 😭

I totally thought the villain was Brainiac too and he was attacking both Earth and Remnant

Like with Dune, I was also surprised this movie is a two-parter after watching it. But it was a fun crossover movie. My favorite side plots are the ones with Weiss and Batman and, of course, John and Jessica Cruz. I do see what you mean about Batman feeling a bit out of character though, but I knew that wasn't meant to be permenant. It's suppsed to show how he reacts to having powers for the first time.... while being a teenaged version of his angsty self! Some teenagers don't always think rationally on things or what to prioritize best. So this might be the case for Batman's character arc where he tries to figure himself out.

I appreciate this video because I have never watching that movie whatsoever. But I do like the concept what if after the evil villain died and then another season. Someone else who admired her takes over instead her place, but that person experiments with the grim trying to get them to exorb dust in order to use it and the same sense of the movie. Now all the beacon students that survived and became hunters and trying to wipe out the rest of the grim have a new problem that to find out who's making the new version of grims. Even to extend where the god of darkness gives him the power to summon grim just to see what he can do.

RWBY was always a fanfiction turned to a show that jad fight scenes that carried it along with fun characters. Now imagine modern RWBY writers with DC characters. You get people who don't know how to write their own characters and now have to write other characters without doing some easy research such as DC movies, comics and games.

Funny enough I find this to have the same problem with the Mario movie, it's too fast pace and Tries to cram way too much in a short amount of time. Which is the one issue I have with the RWBY series in general. But here's the thing, across over like this is just meant to be fun and that's exactly what I got. So despite whatever Flaws it has I say it has succeeded in its mission statement and look forward to the second half.

The worst thing abt this RWBY crossover is the fact they turned Batman into such an annoying character " I wAnT tO sTaY iN rEmNaNt CuZ i HaVe PoWeRs NoW-" like um HELLO?! and wtf Batman specifically doesn't have powers becuase he DOES NOT need them like his intelligence & combat skills are so crazy he can stand shoulder to shoulder and intimidate the likes of the OG justice league! AND the whole shipping moments with weiss is crazyyy like YOUR a middle AGED man ???? what happend to cat woman man- 😭

This is either a movie you'll enjoy or dislike. Personally I might give it a chance

At least it didn't suck. That was my greatest fear

Ugh this felt like fanfiction and not the good kind either. Many of the RWBY/DC characters didn't feel like they were in character. Weiss, Batman and Nora, Cyborg and Ren were the worst offenders. Whoever thinks Bruce would ever consider leaving Gotham for a world where he's a super powered teenage has either never read a Batman comic or doesn't understand Batman at all. Jaune and Jessica were probably the best character interactions in the movie in that it showed them helping each other deal with their trauma and anxiety. Superman and Ruby were OK too, Clark wasn't characterised terribly. But the generic fanfic plot coupled with the lack of a compelling villain in Kilg%re (it really should have been Brainiac or Vandal Savage) makes this a mediocre hate watch at best. On a side note, the other contender for the RWBY villain who was working with Kilg%re aside from Watts is Dr Merlot from the Grimm Eclipse game. Merlot also has the knowledge and technological resources to create a virtual reality, he was interested in experimenting on Grimm which would explain the super powered Grimm in the movie, and he has a grudge against RWBY and JNPR. Since Kilg%re mentioned he was asked to trap RWBY and JNPR along with the Justice League, that makes it more likely that Merlot is the RWBY villain.

Fun move and with how the Justice League looked in the RWBY style it makes you think of what forms and outfits teams RWBY and JNR (sorry no P because well… you probably know) would look in the League’s universe. What are the chances when Blake goes to the DC world she loses the cat ears? Oh and it’d be awesome if Ren was in a suit like Deathstroke, Nightwing, or other Batman characters!

Am I really the only one who never felt the whole "shipping" thing? I never got the feeling that any of the characters were flirting aside from Blake and Yang. It just felt like they were being friendly and related to each other (since each of the DC characters were transported to Rwby characters who had very similar arcs/lives). I know Ren was jelly about Nora, but it felt more like his insecurities rather than Cyborg actually flirting. It felt more like Cyborg was genuinely just trying to make a friend and ask her about stuff he could do since he felt useless. And while Jaune and Jessica's interactions were cute, it was very much in a mentor/apprentice way. Idk maybe it really is just me but *none of it* felt like they were pushing the shipping to me.

I disagree their are questions that's needed to be answered like how did a tech like villan like killgore ended up in a computer program in a another world especially a program ment to train huntsman and huntress?and if possibly do the justice league find a way to return to remnant to help out ruby and her friends? These questions must be answered.

Cyborg is the exception because in every version, when he joins the justice league, Cyborg is always a teen

Bruce was skewered. also Bruce with any superpower always ends up as a disaster, read *death metal series*

Ren was probably intimidated by Cyborgs B.B.C. Big-Bold-Confidence.

i agree they were out of characters. honestly i found it more funny then anything. i kinda wish it was more like the comic with maybe a rwby version of gothman. curious what that would of looked like

1:10 Notice how the floor reflects everything in the scenario except the characters?

4:26 Just randomly noticed an animation error here. Look at Jaune and Jessica's feet. It looks like they're floating an inch off the ground.

Sounds like typical RWBY writing issues, no big surprise.

I get the League was used for brand purposes but it would’ve been better if they had a group of teenage heroes: there wouldn’t need to be some arbitrary (and just weird) de aging thing going on and they wouldn’t have to be nerfed as hard. Another out of character moment was with Diana when she meets Blake: asks to be taken to their lesser, breaks free of her restraints, assaults her guards and then claims she doesn’t want trouble. Diana before everything else is a diplomat, she wouldn’t do something so stupid. Also yeah it’s really weird that Yang swoons over Diana picking up Oscar (who doesn’t look like he’s weighs over 100 pounds). Also every time Bruce gets powers it ends badly.

Not to defend the weirdness of this movie in any way, but Kilg%re's name IS actually spelt with a percentage sign in the comics. Hes a robot consciousness so thats just how its spelt as a joke i guess.

I thought the movie was average, it was fine but I felt the writing was kinda weak and confusing at times. I mean, at the end they weren't even in the same place, it was VR. Kinda defeats the purpose of a crossover imo. Also, it's kinda funny that Killg%re mentions himself when they were thinking of who might be behind this, like, he kinda revealed himself there. I guess he was being cocky? I know Ruby says his plan is lame, but I can't find that funny when someone wrote said plan for this movie. I don't think having a character call it out makes it better. XD Think besides maybe some decent moments, I got taken out of of the movie due to some of the writing and dialogue. Especially the pacing near the end, with Killg%re revealing his plan, that part was jarring to me.

Well, now that I've watched it, and with the 2nd part coming out soon, I might as well give my opinion on the crossover. I liked this movie, but I do agree that the pacing dragged in places and too much time spent wandering around. When there are scenes with action and character interactions, it's good, but time could have been used a bit more effectively. It was nice seeing the RWBY girls in their original outfits, and the designs look good (and hot) in the current animation software. Team RWBY was likeable in this movie, and it felt like a nice reminder of the original 3 volumes, back when I was into the main show. I do agree that Batman being mopey about not having powers was weird, but I guess I can give it a pass considering he's a teenager again and is going through ANGST. I did, however, like the part of the scene where it felt like Diana was a bit jealous of Weiss. WonderBat shipping has long been established, and those 2 were very cute in the Justice League series. I did like the characters interacting for the most part. Ruby and Clark both has a nice dynamic, with them struggling with being the leaders but eventually working things out. Diana interacting with Yang and Blake was cute, and it was nice seeing how her and Blake related to each other being the warriors. Though I would've changed Yang being impressed by Diana picking up a Grimm or something rather than Oscar. I felt that Vixen did not need to be in this movie. I like Vixen, but she was just... there. Flash was relevant to the big twist at the end, and the other 5 members all had some relationship with the RWBY cast, but she didn't really have anything. If she was not in the movie, nothing really changes. Jaune and Jessica really were the highlights. They had a sweet dynamic, and it was very compelling how both of them helped each other work through their issues. Jessica Cruz was my favorite character in the movie, and it made me want to read some of her comics because she is a very good character. Overall, despite its problems, I did find myself enjoying this crossover. As J said, these types of stories are mostly for fun, and I did have fun for the most part. I would probably watch this again sometime in the future, and I will be checking out Part 2. In how I'd rank this, I'll give it a B, maybe B-.

I'm surprised that Vixen, a more minor DC character, was in this movie.

I honestly liked the movie and I do agree Batman’s little I wanna stay plot didn’t make a lot of sense, he’s the protector of gothem and he is happy being that, but I do gotta say wonder women has been seen in one or two comics/movies strong arming kids or out right offing them,they where else world or flash points tho so ye.

Bruce Wayne : I am totally staying here, I am a literal BATMAN here

Remember, Volume 9 had its budget gutted to make this movie. This is just peak Rooster Teeth right here. Ignore the main IP to instead leech off of a more popular IP for clout.

Girl, you seriously never seen Ben 10 and generator rex heroes united? It's the Best crossover that did everything mentioned at once! No surprise, given all man of action did it.🎉

What is it with these DC cartoons being under 1 hour and 30 minutes? Seriously, anyone else noticing this? They could have just done the two parts a single movie.

I'll admit, I have some interest in watching this crossover. While I stopped watching RWBY officially about Volume 4, I still try to keep up what's happening in the show, listen to the music, and bought the After the Fall novel about Team CFVY (Still need to get back to reading it.). Parts of this crossover seem interesting. I agree that it is cool to see them in their original designs, and the idea of the Justice League adapt to the world and its rules sounds intriguing. From what I'm hearing, it's what I expected it to be: a not deep but fun crossover. I'm happy to hear that Jessica Cruz was handled well by people. I've recently become invested in her character after learning about her origin, she seems very compelling. So, question for anyone who has watched it: is it worth buying, or should I wait until I can find a DVD at a discounted price?

I personally feel the out of character moments for certain characters are because they have become younger, and therefore get the feelings of adolescents and I also find Bruce's need to be like Diana and have powers is probably a combination of how he has become younger, and now has powers, he never had a childhood or a normal teenage life and therefore he feels not only feelings he never had but also the overwhelming feeling of what having powers means but I agree ultimately it's very messy in those plots and those are just head canons, I do it mostly so I don't get freaked out by the flirting 😂😂🤣💖

It would have been more interesting if the DC characters were born on Remenate instead of being from a different world

JLU did the turning League into kids alot better.

in 5:50 in the comics and in the show it’s spelled with a percentage instead of an o

There’s ONE clever line in this whole things, when Clark says “Looks like I’m not in Kansas anymore.” Actually really clever, everything else was pointless.

This was an Amazing Movie! Was perfect in every way! I can’t wait for more and several parts. I actually bought all of Rwbys volumes because I enjoyed it! 100 stars out of 10 in my opinion!

Honestly, this is STILL better than the recent years of RWBY

Bruce, why are you flirting whit another teenage girl? YOU'RE GIVING EVERYONE VIETNAM FLASHBACKS BRUCE!

Can I just say the Faunus ears make no sense. Like, I get the tails, they're part animal, and I can understand why they'd have animal ears too, but why do they have a set of animal ears AND human ears?

Hmmm, now that I think about it there is another RWBY character I know that could have pulled off this similuation with Kilgore, Dr Merlot from the RWBY Grimm Eclipse video game.

"Kilg%re" is the correct writting of the name. Was a fun movie but it was weird watching many of the JLA so out of character. We could think de idea was "they are teenagers now so... hormones and lost childhood", but that does not change entirely the esence of the hero... at least in batman's and cyborg's cases... thal last one was weird because how useless he says he feels but he does everything well with his robot partner... still, waiting for the 2nd movie

My god batman was the worst
