In a myterious twist of fate, Superman wakes up in the world of Remnant, setting of the series RWBY, finding his trademark tights are replaced with new clothes and he is age regressed to a teenager. He helps Ruby and Yang, finding out his powers his limited in Remnant. As the superheroes and huntsmen are suffering from amnesia as their memories are jumbled, and finding out something is not right. Superman and Team RWBY, joined by other Justice League members and even other huntsmen, to find out the truth.
Yeah, this is the first part of the film (with the second part being released on Halloween), but already, this movie feels like it was originally intended to be fanficiton meant to posted on a fanfiction site by a RWBY staffer who is a DC Superheroes fan. However, it is not a completely bad film. It actually redesigns the superheroes of the DC universe to fit into the RWBY universe (Batman now has batwings and the power to see through walls, Vixen gets the best redesign, complete with a tail based on her hero name). However, with the redesigns and the age regression, there are going to be character derailments, as it seems to be straying far from the Justice League X RWBY comic miniseries it is based on (in the comics, the DC Superheroes were portayed as residents of Remnant, while this movie does the cliche of sending them to another dimension), and some of the DC characters seem to not act like their usual selves (like Cyborg being useless and asking Nora for help, which starts a rivalry with Ren to the point where acts like a jerk to Superman and Ruby, and Green Lantern Jessica Cruz gets the worst of it, as she is a nervous wrecks who needs her ring as it is her strength). At least the voice acting is very good.
Sadly, being a part one, the movie suffers from being short (being only 80 minutes long), and some of the plot does drag out, but it is an okay film. I do plan to get part 2 to review, and if you are interested in superhero crossovers like this, I suggest waiting for part 2 to release or maybe wait to see if Warner Bros. Will release a version combining the two parts into one movie.
