                                                                    JUSTICE LEAGUE: THRONE OF ATLANTIS 
                                                             
     In a follow up to Justice League War DC Animated  brings us it's latest comic book to film adaption, Justice League: Throne Of Atlantis, the source material being that from writer Geoff Johns Aqua man run in the new 52. In Throne Of Atlantis we see Arthur Curry's story to how he became the eventual king of the sea... Aquaman!, as he learns of his origins in Atlantis and how he is the heir to the Throne, all whilst coming to terms with who he is on land. On the journey to become king we meet Orm  (Ocean Master) as he attempts to wage war on the surface world.

     Arthur Curry and his soon to be Justice League compatriots must work together as they begin to cross paths with Atlantis and its tyrant ruler Orm when weapons of mass destruction are stolen from an underwater military submarine. With the Voice talent of Jason O’Mara, Christopher Gorham, Shemar Moore and Sean Astin returning as Batman, The Flash, Cyborg and Shazam and with a few inclusions the voice acting is fantastic as is the Animation much similar to JLA War before it. Where Thone Of Atlantis fails is due to the pace in which it rushed its material, its rushes through so much it becomes diluted and almost unnecessary {superman and wonder woman's relationship for one} with limited screen time for many important plot details.

                                                  With upcoming DC films Batman: Court Of Owls and  Justice League: Gods and Monsters. Both of which are set for 2015 releases to look forward to, Its rushed feeling and convoluted storytelling Throne Of Atlantis provides us with an average DC animated film to pass the time, if it was up to me I would just go watch Batman: Under The Red Hood for the 10th time.
