JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time

What in the world has happened to the DC quality ethic? This feature was so bad I wish there was a way to get my money back. I can't believe I paid for something this terrible. Flash is so slow that Grodd can catch him. Whoever did Batman's voice seems to have something inserted into an internal cavity, and what the heck is Robin doing with the JLA? The art was bad, the script was bad.(How is it Karate Kid can take on 3 super villains at once, see the fatal flaw in the Time Trapper and not be able to take down Robin in a fight?) Who wrote this and how did DC allow this fiasco to take place? There are thousands of fans who are much more qualified to write scripts than whatever third grader they chose. The dialog made me cringe the entire length of the feature. Heck, you could probably pick someone from random on the street and they could out write the clowns that committed this crime against comics fandom. I began to have high hopes with the Bruce Timm Justice League Unlimited series. The art was a bit sub-par, yes, but still effective, the writing,characterizations and acting by the voice talent really put that series above everything else that had ever been done. Then when Crisis on Two Earths was released, it looked like DC had reached its potential. But now this rubbish. I'm hoping the DC guys read these reviews and take action. This stuff has to go away. Here's hoping the upcoming Arkham Asylum piece vindicates DC. I'm beginning to lose patience.

I've been trying to find something my preschooler and toddler could watch. They like superheroes but none of the cartoons which are available on disc these days are appropriate for them. This was in my opinion, an excellent, clean way to introduce them to the DC universe and have a basic idea of the Character's abilities. My 4 and 2 yr old boys watch it all the time. Im grateful that it doesn't have be-headings or sexually suggestive content, because honestly there is enough material out there for the more hardcore comic book fans this isn't for them. It's for kids. Let it go. When you become a parent, then you'll understand why JLA trapped in time is a great little movie for them.

Fun movie, with the Justice League, the Legion of Doom, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Time Trapper AND sky portals! Lots of time-travel/time paradox shenanigans, as Luthor tries the old 'erase the Justice League from having ever existed' ploy. With Diedrich Bader as Batman, Grey DeLisle as Wonder Woman, Peter Jessop as Superman, and Fred Tatasciore as Lex Luthor. Plus Robin, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Dawnstar, Karate Kid, Bizarro, Toyman, Cheetah, Black Manta, Gorilla Grodd, and Solomon Grundy. It's lighter in tone than a lot of DC movies, but not too light; there's still a gripping story. Some really nice animation too, especially the around Time Trapper and his abilities. The ending sets up for a sequel. Shame we never got one. 7.5/10.

JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time (2014) is a DC animated movie with the Justice League in a time travel story again and it was okay enough.

Positives for JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time (2014): I like how the Justice League are dealing with a villain who can control time and space. You have two characters from the future in Laura Bailey as Dawnstar and Dante Basco as Karate Kid and I like how they play a major part in stopping the villain from destroying time and space. You also have Lex Luthor screwing up the timeline just so that he can win and take over the world. The action sequences are a lot of fun. And finally, I like how Karate Kid and Dawnstar both learn their own lessons after defeating the main villain in the past.

Negatives for JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time (2014): This movie is too short and it feels like the story is being rushed. Lex Luthor's evil plan to destroy the Justice League is really dumb especially when you include having some of the villains looking for his past self in the Arctic. And finally, the final battle was very underwhelming.

Overall, JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time (2014) is a perfectly fine DC animated movie with the DC Superheroes, but it is not one that I'll be in the hurry to rewatch anytime soon.

An entertaining movie that is not excellent, but has its essence, questionable negative points, and still delivers.

"JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time" is a super simple proposal for the little ones at home, but it is also enjoyable for fans of DC animated films, with a sustainable premise that has shortcomings due to various scenes that take you out of context because of certain arguments that were not taken into consideration. However, despite this, it offered attractive moments. "Trapped in Time" is a super simple offering for the little ones at home, but it is also enjoyable for fans of DC animated films, with a sustainable premise that has shortcomings due to various scenes that take you out of context because certain arguments were not taken into consideration, but despite that, it provided attractive moments. This movie is a rollercoaster of emotions because you might not like it or simply let it pass by to find something that catches your attention.

Regarding the animation, I think it has its advantages and disadvantages, as the movement sequences, color tones, action sequences, and some character designs are decent, making it coherent for a small production like this. However, the focus on many of the characters' faces is debatable. Many of them are not well drawn or were done in a very strange manner, which can slightly diminish the experience.

It should also be added that the movie does not escape the conventional, the neglect of each hero or villain's abilities by the script, the forced comedy, the scenes that make no sense at all, the excessive addition of characters, and perhaps small plot holes that have no answers.

In that sense, I think it's valid or fun to see many of your heroes fight their enemies, watching them work together (even if it's a little) and contributing something more to the animated films.

Lex Luthor will always be a great villain, even though sometimes he forgets how intelligent he is. I must highlight the action scenes of Karate Kid. The plots involving time travel and its consequences always catch attention.
