I suspect Justice League Dark is a set-up for the animated Constantine that is (supposedly) in the works, starring the same guy as the one-season live action show. I suspect Batman was there to give them an excuse to call it a Justice League movie. Also, you know: Batman. My biggest complaint was Zatanna's outfit. She already has a sexified costume. Did they have to put her in something that had me half expecting a boob to pop out?
I really enjoyed the Judas Contract, and the way they reshaped it, although I'm really over the movies' infatuation with Damien (get me started on how they handled the Court of Owls storyline in the Batman vs Robin movie). It goes to show how times have changed that, unlike in the comics, Deathstroke wasn't sleeping with a 15-year-old girl, although the ick factor wasn't helped by how much bigger they drew him than her - very different aesthetics sometimes lead to bad places. Apparently, they're doing a sequel of sorts in the comics (although who can tell if the original is still canon.)
Um, yes. I just marathoned a bunch of these with the small fanperson (which did require a few, "What did he mean?" "They're talking about sex." "Oh. Ick." conversations ;), and am so glad to see someone else's take on them.
