Apparently this has The Justice Society of America in it. I AM GOING TO WATCH IT NOW AND EAT NOODLES! I BET IT’S DREADFUL AND AWESOME SIMULTANEOUSLY! I WILL TELL YOU AFTER!
Well, it did have The Justice Society Of America in it, including Hawkman, who had stap-on wings, and put on a silly growly voice like Batman. Sandman and another dude got merked pretty early on, by some annoying little creepazoid with a Hoxton fin and crappy SFX ice powers. Green Lantern and Flash were nowhere to be seen. Dr Fate was pretty dope, resplendent in cape and Doom mask. My girl thought he was Iron Man, and kept asking if “the Marvel Universe” was gonna show up, cos “they’re a team, aren’t they?” It was only half way through explaining how The Marvel Universe is actually a universe inhabited by Marvel comics characters, and the DC is where Superman lives, and Warners owns DC and Disney owns Marvel and if they were going to have an inter company crossover it wouldn’t be on Smallville that I realised what a massive geek I was sounding like. Then I went back to giggling foolishly at Geoff Johns’ deliriously geek-referential dialogue (“Clark, you will usher in a silver age of heroism,” etc etc).
I feel asleep towards the end and missed the big fight, and when I woke up Fate was dead and The Martian Mahunter had his powers back. I dunno how that happened. Pam Grier showed up as Amanda Waller, bossing up the flipping Suicide Squad/Checkmate at the end. She done gotten big.
So, dreadful and awesome simultaneously? Pretty much, although dreadful won out, thanks to some shocking acting and dialogue. I suspect I could have spent that time wiser. But I had a nice little sleep on the sofa, and that hasn’t happened since Christmas. Ho ho ho!
