My son was excited by Justice League v Teen Titans as he watched the Teen Titans Go television series but this should had been a dazzling mash up of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman with the younger Teen Titan characters but it lacks fizz.

Robin is on a mission with the Justice League but he botches up by not following orders and banished to work with the Teen Titans in order to learn teamwork.

Although acting like a spoilt brat he ends up doing battle with Trigon who is infecting and taking over the Justice League characters by use of mind control.

The cartoon starts off well but I could see my son's interest waning and he is the target audience by being in the age range for this type of cartoon but it felt uninspired with more focus on Batman & Robin and less on the other characters.

After the Justice League defeats the Legion of Doom in the first five minutes, Robin acts unilaterally to defeat the Dark Lord. Batman decides Robin must learn team work and forces him to superhero teamwork building reform school. Here is meets an interesting bunch of characters, chicks in short skirts, and oh yeah, that Dark Lord thing is not over.

There is no introduction of characters. It assumes you have been following the Batman vs Robin series. The current Robin is named Damian and is the illegitimate son of Batman. The original Robin had moved on to be known as Nightwing for some reason I confuse with a duck. Wonder Woman dates Superman and not Batman and to be honest, I must have missed the episode which bumped Lois out of the picture, or else they never bothered.

PLOT SPOILER: Superman doesn't die in this film. That would be really stupid. The film incorporates humor which seems geared at the tweens.

So this 'movie' wasn't a bad idea on paper, but it's the mediocre-fanfiction level writing that holds it back. I enjoyed a lot of the action sequences and seeing some classic characters in animated form (this animation style reminds me of Young Justice, which is a plus). But let's just get to the elephant in the room... Damian Wayne. Having a kid save the day in an action film this scale is not a good idea, especially when he's not supposed to be the main focus. Son of Batman was acceptable because it was his story and not many of the other villains or heroes were involved, but when Superman, Wonderwoman, the Flash and the Teen Titans face up against a villain like Trigon? I thought this was a movie about teamwork! Instead, Damian is portrayed as a Gary Sue who solves all the problems without even breaking a sweat (inability to be a team player is not a flaw in this case because it doesn't even cause him any problems). This is amateur writing... Yet, the action and animation are pretty solid in this movie. If you'd like to see some familiar characters (such as those from the original Teen Titans cartoon),just give this movie a casual shot and don't expect too much.
