A few years in the past, the worlds of the Justice League and RWBY crossed over within the Justice League x RWBY 7-issue comedian sequence from Marguerite Bennett, Aneke, and Mirka Andolfo. It noticed alternate variations of basic DC characters like Bruce Wayne, Diana Prince, and Clark Kent teaming up with Team RWBY. This 12 months, the collaboration between Rooster Teeth and DC is rising with characteristic size animated movies. The first one is Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen, Part One and it’s releasing on digital, 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, and Blu-ray on April 25. In this model, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern, and Vixen discover themselves transported to the world of Remnant and reworked into youngsters. A second half is ready to launch later this 12 months.
Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen, Part One finds the Justice League dealing with off towards a brand new horror: adolescence! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern and Vixen are stunned to search out that not solely have they materialized on an odd world known as Remnant, however they’ve additionally been reworked into youngsters. Meanwhile, the heroes of Remnant – Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang – discover their world has been mysteriously altered. Can the mixed forces of the Justice League and Team RWBY return Remnant to regular earlier than a superpowered Grimm destroys all the pieces they know?
It sounds fascinating and prefer it is perhaps enjoyable. I do know I’m a bit hesitant as a result of to me it feels like a cool thought, however then I’m undecided it’s delivering on that coolness within the trailer. Talking with some associates, they’ve identified some areas of disappointment to them and the animation is a theme that’s popped up a few occasions. The movie after all makes use of RWBY’s artwork fashion and doubtless many members from that group are concerned. The artwork very a lot resembles that from current RWBY volumes and is leagues higher than the place the sequence began for positive, however whereas scripting this very article, I believe I noticed what the issue is with the artwork and animation. This is a feature-film and is labeled as a DC Animated Movie. Previous DC Animated Movie initiatives have killer animation, but JL x RWBY appears to be working with the identical finances as a normal episode. We have an expectation that the animation for a movie will probably be higher than a sequence. Many occasions, extra time and cash are put into a movie to permit for this. JL x RWBY doesn’t seem to do that in any respect although and so it creates a sense of cheapness, lack of funding, and lack of epicness. It ought to look higher with higher lighting, extra particulars, smoother motion, and so on.
JL x RWBY is directed by Kerry Shawcross (RWBY) and is written by Meghan Fitzmartin (Justice Society: World War II). The voice solid contains Lindsay Jones, Kara Eberle, Arryn Zech, and Barbara Dunkelman reprising their roles as Team RWBY, plus what seems to be the voice appearing debuts for Natalie Alyn Lind (Gotham) as Wonder Woman, Chandler Riggs (The Walking Dead) as Superman, and Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars) as Batman. Other solid members embody Ozioma Akagha (Teen Titans Go!) as Vixen, Jen Brown (Red vs. Blue) as Pyrrha, Tiana Camacho (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) as Glynda, Aaron Dismuke (Fullmetal Alchemist) as Oscar, Jason Douglas (The Walking Dead) as Jacques, David Errigo Jr. (Ridley Jones) as The Flash/Barry Allen and Rolf, Samantha Ireland (Red vs. Blue) as Nora, Miles Luna (Camp Camp) as Jaune, Shannon McCormick (Get Backers) as Professor Ozpin, Neath Oum (RWBY: Chibi) as Lie Ren, Tara Platt (Aggretsuko) as Kali, Jeannie Tirado (Saints Row) as Green Lantern, and Tru Valentino (The Cuphead Show!) as Cyborg.
