Watch the first meeting of Batman and Green Lantern in Justice League: War
The first full clip from Justice League: War is here. The new DC Universe animated movie tells the story of how the Justice League first formed. Justice League: War marks the first translation of the DC New 52 universe to animation and is adapted from Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's Justice League: Origin graphic novel, which kickstarted DC's new continuity back in 2011.
This clip, showcasing Batman and Green Lantern as they take on one of Darkseid's parademons, looks to be a pretty faithful translation of those opening pages of Justice League: Origin. The DC animated movies have always taken a non-linear, non-continuity approach to storytelling, simply adapting great DC Comics works (sometimes loosely), and then moving on to the next one. But as the previous animated movie was Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, based on the story that famously reset the continuity of the comic book line, does this mean that future animated films will continue to focus on the New 52? Time will tell. Until then, enjoy the clip!
