RWBYxJL was fun, obviously more of a RWBY film than a JL film. But I’m not much of a DC buff, so I’m not complaining. Besides it’s RWBY’s first movie, and the JL have plenty of (and better) movies already, and will have a lot more in the future. 

The weakest aspects were definitely the JL, but that’s expected given how different these versions are from their iconic versions. And the contrivances & conveniences to get them to fit in the story at all. Still fun characters, and most of the dynamics were enjoyable. I might not enjoy it as much if I was more of a DC fan, but just as someone only mildly into DC/JL, I don’t mind it. Although I did appreciate how Batman spent most of the film acting like an investigator, but I’m sure plenty of people wanted him more center-stage, and out-in-front. The whole superpowers thing, and “feeling useful,” was a bit weird, but I guess that can be chalked up to teenage angst and stuff. I know the framing is “Batman’s a human among gods on Earth, but on Remnant he’s just as strong and super-powered as everyone else.” And I can see how that might work, but Batman’s greatest contribution to the JL has never been his fighting prowess, and it’s not like he hasn’t gained superpowers in some way before.

Jessica & Jaune the standouts for me; especially for a character whom I had zero prior knowledge of, given she’s not one of the primary characters people think of when they hear “Green Lantern.” But it was a good choice for what they wanted to do with the character. Hal, Kyle, Simon or Guy are all too self-assured & macho, for how the story wanted to employ the Power Ring, and would be more likely to butt heads and argue. Which there was already more than enough from the rest of the cast. Also to help even out the girl:guy ratio.

And Jaune is given a good showing, emphasizing his abilities as a support and bringing out the best in those around him. He took more of a emotional/intelligence-based role, helping figure out the truth and piecing things together before everyone else.

Vixen was also good, wish we’d gotten a bit more of her, rather than the Cyborg-Nora-Ren triangle thing.

Also Blake swinging Nora around in the final fight was amazing.
