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

Sprites by Skill:Draw
The Justice League suddenly find themselves deaged into teens and are in an unknown world to them. They meet team RWBY and what's left of JNPR. It's a fun crossover but ultimately has pacing issues since this probably didn't need to be in two parts and could have left off on a stronger note. Also there's a lot of unnecessary shipping but that's not surprising at this point.

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.

Don't forget batman had the lantern rings as well 3 time's. Green, yellow and white rings so yeah also this is young Bruce where he is still learning and trying to find ways to improve his body and mind to be better as he gets older. That's where people forget that and yeah the biggest screw up is him wanting to stay that is not Bruce goal plan.

[@TheRavenShadowsWolf]

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.

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.

Granted, the movie does kinda feel like WB and DC gave RT the greenlight to just turn their fan fic into an official legit story, but then again, it's probably not as bad nor worse than some actual fan fiction out there, but it could have been better. Still fun though. And with the whole cyborg and Nora thing, in the comics and even in the Teen Titans show, at the youngest, he was 17, and I assume he has recently just BARELY reached his early 20s, not any better, but blame it on comics to never stay consistent with their timelines and character ages. And with batman considering staying on remnant, it does kinda make sense. Like, he had his recent memory scrambled, his body de aged to teen years, and his more playful side kinda came out, cause his party boy act kinda became semi genuine, so within the context of the story at least, it kinda makes sense. But also, yeah, feels weird. Still wanna see part two, though, but I do wish they got to see the DC world, that would've been cool. Like, team rwby and team jnr think they're new JL recruits.

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.

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.

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.

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......

[@stingingcake853]

@@stingingcake853 And even friendships/ other interpersonal relationships are terrible. I've stop watching after being curious of how bad the show has gotten but here's what I know through videos talking about it.

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.

[@sunspotmill1291]

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.

[@EquesTron]

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.

I don't quite understand Ruby's shaken up lack of confidence as a leader in this movie.

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.

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-.

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.

[@DDespicable]

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 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.

[@Gungelion]

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.

[@bbgunz1705]

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?

[@halojoe1028]

For this movie, discounted, however I would heavily recommend getting back into the main show instead. Volume 5 was a weak spot but 6-9 have been the best in the series imo

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.

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.

[@anthonysandoval5512]

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

[@Kandarako]

"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

[@uglynerd8764]

I thought this was very fun and harmless aside from the out of character batman and cyborg. This also feels more like RWBY than the last 3 volumes. I am assuming part 2 is going to take place in the dc universe which as a massive dc fan I am more excited about.

@Heliosse I just think they've had the best writing, character moments, 7 had my favorite fights, and honestly just in general have been fantastic

[@heliosse3171]

@@halojoe1028 Yeah, we all have our own opinion, that's fine. I love RWBY but i have been really disapointed by the latest volumes. I don't like how they have been handling the plot, i don't like how they treated Weiss and Ruby lately (and since they are my favorite, it's a bit hard), they feel empty. I like the fight tho, you are right they are awesome but they have always been. Lately every episodes of RWBY was like "i am going to be very disapointed" and i keep going forward with the false hope of being blessed with an episode that i like just like in the earlier volumes. I don't like how Ruby got magic therapy, they dodged the whole discussion, they dodged reality and just fixed everything in an episode, vol 9 was supposed to be RWBY therapy and it felt like it barely scratched that, Ruby got the end of the stick i feel like the one that really got therapy was Jaune. Plus, i don't like the character of Jaune at all, and my favorite character is Weiss, so i have been even more smited by vol 9. I am still following because deep down i do love RWBY, it has so much potential and awesome characters. But the recent decisions they have been making are really bad for me, i know that alot of people loves it (like you) so it's cool, but i wish i could do the same... Even more the partnership and team dynamic has been.... kinda destroyed. Ruby and Weiss barely interacted since vol 6, jaune kinda stole the place of Ruby in vol 9 (maybe it is just for vol 9, i hope so, bc if we have R-JW-BY, i am going to be really pissed, i really like Ruby and Weiss being partner and since episodes have no times, putting Weiss and Jaune on the spotmight would break their pair (no more time right), so i really dread it, it would break the team for me, their dynamic. Since Jaune lost Pyrrha he seems as important (or even more) than team RWBY itself, i dislike this, i dislike him (maybe even hate idk). I think Ruby and Weiss should be closer to eachother in the next volume, especially to eachother but even to Blake and Yang). I am not gonna rant over everything i dislike right now xD, i am talking alot about Jaune because i really dislike him and how Weiss was treated recently, but there is far more than that. It's awesome that you still love it, i wish i could do the same. Have a great day

[@halojoe1028]

@Heliosse yeah, I get it, we all have out own opinions. I actually loved the Ruby stuff in volume 9, my only criticism is I hate how yang didn't get time to reflect of Ruby's ascension at any point. My theory is they were forced to cut it due to budgetary restraints, which has some evidence for it, but overall I still loved that plot even though Yang's lack of a response sucks. Loved the reunion in episode 10 though. I also just loved Ironwood, Jaune, Blake, Yang, Nora, Ren, and honestly every character in the Atlas/Ever After arcs. While Ruby and Weiss could talk more I don't think their dynamic is ruined, but yeah I'd love more conversations between them in future volumes, I agree. But I loved Blake and Yang's romance, loved Ren and Nora's arcs, loved the Hound, loved Ironwood's entire plotline, loved Oscar (I didn't like him that much until late volume 6, but in volumes 7 and 8 he grew to be one of my favorites in the whole show), and just overall volumes 7-9 have been some of personal favorite pieces of fiction ever. Just my opinion tho

[@ValetinoLovebird]

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

[@AbruptCanine4]

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 😂😂🤣💖

[@lilmissbacon]

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.

[@louisseymour9247]

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.

[@vegeta002]

RWBY is pretty much fanfiction of itself by this point and the producer/director is from the RWBY staff, it feeling like fanfiction is almost a given.
