About this movie

The Justice League has always been Earth’s first and last defense, but with the imminent arrival of Darkseid and the horrors of war that will follow, everything is about to change! With time running out, the Justice League will need all of its members and their powers like never before.

Witness the most shocking battle in the DC Universe, where survival itself is a victory.

Ratings and reviews

I never write reviews, but after watching this movie, I am compelled to. This is one of the best animated movies I have ever seen. The story is gritty and intense. It is hard not to be emotional after seeing the character development in other movies and then having the story play out in such a tragic fashion. Seeing a mixture of Justice League and Teen Titans characters was brilliant. The main characters selected form a bit of a rag-tag team, and this does not conform to mainstream storytelling. Which makes the movie so much better. I wish that the Warner Bros Live Action department would take a note from the storytelling of this movie. Please continue to produce this level of ingenuity when it comes to the animated films. I cannot recommend this movie enough!

Love the DC animated movies and this one did not disappoint. Given the storyline they were able to include many characters that often don't get seen outside of the comic books or only in selected story arcs so it was great to see them all come together. Only negatives for me were that there was not enough Nightwing and almost no Kid Flash.

Justice League Dark: Apokolips War is the DC equivalent of the MCU's Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame combined into one mind-blowing film. Hell I don't know why this animated universe wasn't the live-action adaptation of DC that we were getting this whole time, instead of the DC Extended Universe.
