Justice League: War (2014)

There are a lot of similarities between this and the live-action Justice League movie. Even more so with the Snyder Cut. The League teams up for the first time to save the world from Darkseid and his parademons. It allows all the heroes to express themselves and gel in a way that contradicts and works off of each other. If the live-action movie focused on making similar relationships shine a bit more, then it would be on par with this. I loved the team and the action. It was also nice to see Shazam in the mix. I kinda like him more than Martian Manhunter who sat this one out. This is what a Justice League origin should be. Definitely needs to be watched by any DC fan.
