What I see with the previous reviews, is jaded cynicism where probably grown folks have forgotten how to be children and have fun like children.
This movie is a huge nod to the Super Friends and it borrows the tone heavily, with painfully obvious, perhaps intentional, dramatic convenient situations that are to be expected, it shows intricate concepts like time traveling in a very simplistic manner, because it knows that even with a smooth talking convoluted explanation like most movies do in an attempt to gain a more serious tone these days, it's still a topic that for most of us is beyond our grasp and therefore it doesn't bother with it, since really, any explanation would do.
But it all works to show a side of the DC characters that we haven't seen in a LONG time, the silly and heart touching side, every character is eventually involved in a joke to the point of almost putting a Scooby-doo chase scene, and I don't mean that in a bad way, I couldn't help but to smile, giggle and laugh at the many absurd situations and lines that just work their way to your childhood, but there's more, it's not a comedy.
The action is by far the best I've seen in a long time, the unfortunate comparison is with SoB, which is rendered outdated by this movie, every move flows beautifully and I truly felt excited while watching the fight scenes that even show in detail that some characters are supposed to be expert martial artists... SoB did not succeed at all in this department.
The animation is leaps and bounds better than the previous Son of Batman, the drawings aren't on the cheap side like the mentioned movie, where they seem to be running out and save in graphite, the same goes for the voice acting, even if we don't hear any of the regular voices, the delivery is not overly dramatic and is natural instead, making every line and/or joke not seem forced, all the contrary.
Like I said, expect dramatic convenience that is borderline shameless, but that is what this movie is, shameless of itself, it just wants you to have fun and it delivers.
Bring out your inner child and have a good time with this movie.
