[movie review] justice society: world war ii (2021)
“life is dangerous. that shouldn’t stop us from living it.”
aside from the usual propaganda about the u.s.’s role in world war ii being instrumental and motivated by horror over the atrocities being committed by the nazis rather than fear of the soviet union liberating all of europe without their help, this ruled! also, about halfway through when they revealed flash had traveled to a parallel universe rather than the past, i joked that maybe we can just pretend he ended up in a parallel universe where the u.s. is actually good.
seriously, though, this continued everything i loved about man of tomorrow. great writing, great art, great theming. hope conquering fear. superheroes actually being optimistic and good-natured (but not in that nothing mcu way where it’s just basically a brand identity). all that good stuff.
the justice society is corny in all the right ways. this version of diana is fantastic and a great leader. her romance with steve trevor is adorable. i totally ship flash (past-flash) and hourman. black canary and hawkman kick all kinds of ass, and hawkman calling her “little bird” was freaking adorable, i’m just imagining him taking all the younger bird-themed heroes under his wing now. like imagine him swooping down when robin is on his way to school because alfred is on a rare vacation and he’s not sure bruce remembered to pack his lunch.
there’s a second act detour to an atlantean outpost, and we get to see an early atomic age retro-future take on atlantean architecture and tech, and guys it’s just so freaking cool-looking, like omg. it may have been my favorite thing about the movie.
also barry is just so… himself! this is a really good version of barry that hits all the obvious notes but is still a three-dimensional character. he feels like an actual person.
i continue to be very optimistic for the future of this continuity. it’s off to a kickass start so far.

Now Watching: DC's Tomorrowverse!
Would you believe that my other DC universe movie list is one of my better posts? Totally a DC girl, sorry not sorry Marvel. My movie partner let me know that DC was going to start a new universe of movies, so you know I had to jump in and keep up with it!
Tumblr media
Link: Tomorrowverse - Wikipedia. Here is your list in order! I will keep this posted updated as movies come out!
Tumblr media
Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020)
This to me is very indicative of them rebooting the alternative universe but also making the heroes younger. Appealing to a younger audience? Not a bad movie.
Tumblr media
Justice Society: World War II (2021)
You know in every universe you have to have Flash mess with the timeline to act as the introduction to the superhero group. It is a nice flashback to the past, and honestly I wish the random characters like Black Canary would get their own movie, they are great! Good movie.
Tumblr media
Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1 (2021)
I watched this movie before but I rewatched it again as a proper order in the universe. So, this movie, as far as the tomorrowverse would go-introduces batman, gotham city, and all that it entails. The almost "alternative mood" and different animation style makes sense in universe.
Tumblr media
Batman: The Long Halloween Part 2 (2021)
I watched this movie before but I rewatched it again as a proper order in the universe. This one finishes part 1. It establishes the proper placement for a lot of the major characters in this series. My next guess, or question, would be...when does batman get roped into the group?
Tumblr media
Green Lantern: Beware My Power (2022)
This establishes a new Green Lantern to the group and starts to focus less on the players, more on the team. Not a bad movie.
Tumblr media
Legion of Super-Heroes (2023)
This movie is interesting in the fact that it establishes a future point within the universe and has it play as part of the story. You also don't tend to see a lot of super girl, but the DC universes are always a little "superman and company" forward.
Tumblr media
Justice League: War World (2023)
This was probably my favorite out of all of the movies. I was kind of wondering when you would start to have some bigger game picture plot come into play. Besides being the classic core of the group, excellent movie. Sets up for a great next film.
This, compared to the other universe, is young and still being added to. As new movies get added, I will update this post! Have you caught up yet? Which movie is your favorite?

I’m only partway through but I do appreciate how Justice Society: World War II really leans hard into Wonder Woman (and to a lesser extent Flash) just absolutely *wrecking*. the. shit. out of Nazis.

so im back again looking at dc’s original sin and their recent hypocrisy over depicting human rights, and this time its bruce timm’s dcau. you know, the one where batman is a groomer and sleeps with babs.
yeah. no shit they mess everything up. continued under the cut
in the amazons-centered episode “fury” there’s explicit war crimes. aresia, who will grow up to be an amazon intent on murdering every man in the world, witnesses victorious enemy soldiers opening fire inside houses and bombing her village. when she and her mother escape to a refugee ship, armed pirates take everything and then blow it up as they’re leaving.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this? this is actually a decent depiction of war for a so-called kids show. they’re clearly capable. which should make one think, gee, are they going to apply that same careful treatment to other horrors that happened in real life?
Tumblr media
….
haha oh boy. this entire 3-part episode was a disrespectful clusterfuck and the writers were completely self-aware that it was a disrespectful clusterfuck. and im going to tell you why.
1) horrible alternate history writing.
well. this had to be the most braindead attempt at alternate history ive ever seen (along with everything else dc has touched relating to wwii) and it’s only topped by spike tv’s alternate history, which has a similar scenario to this one.
so it’s 1944. d-day fails and is the “beginning of the end omg omg” for the allied powers. i assume they mean the western powers because apparently, no american audience gives a shit about the soviet union and their vital part in beating nazi germany more than we ever could. and you know, how they were literally fighting for their lives against an entire country that wanted to wipe them out as a people.
also notable is that they leave out the pacific theater. because nooooo we can’t make fantasy bullshit about imperial japan!! but somehow nazi germany is okay to include in your shitty superhero setup.
yeah. so we later learn that vandal savage got all of his information from a laptop equipped with a cd player (lmao good luck charging that) with some loaded tidbits on how to win world war ii. it’s all cliche shit that you would learn from the history channel. “bla bla, hitler too crazy bla bla, need better technology bla bla bla, also d-day, bla bla bla.”
jesus christ did they just get super stoned and then watch one (1) documentary?
the technology in question is literally spiky rolling pins and jet planes. sorry dc, fancy technology isn’t going to save a dying war effort against a country that’s already developing an atomic bomb. nazi germany was fucked at this point and everyone knew it. nothing was ever going to bring it back. sorry. that’s the truth. dc also seems to have this problem with the typical “nazis get the bomb” scenario. which, doesn’t work either by the way, because they thought “atomic science was jewish.”
and don’t come at me with that “it’s just alternate history” excuse. alternatehistoryhub and pretty much everyone called out spike tv for the exact same divergence. this shit doesn’t get a pass either. bad storytelling is just bad storytelling.
now, if it was about america i mean the allied powers going full scorched-earth and leaving savage’s germany a radioactive, infertile wasteland…maybe id like it. it would be somewhat better than the crap we got here.
tldr: vandal savage is your average sweaty laptop-bound hoi4 player looking for worldwide validation. he gets an idea to send all of his hoi4 tactics to his 1940s self. the nazis then win the war with giant killer rolling pins.
that’s it. that’s the plot.
2) explicit holocaust denial and revisionism.
this one was only implied throughout the episode, but it was actually confirmed by the producers and writers behind the episode:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so stan berkowitz really ran his mouth here. because apparently, “to kill lots of people [in campaigns such as the holocaust] requires effort and manpower that could have been put to use elsewhere better, like defending the country.”
….
okay.
so. the holocaust was industrialized to the extreme. it was not a ‘bad allocation of resources’ that ‘could have went somewhere better.’ it was linked to the war, especially in the eastern front, where the goal was to ethnically cleanse and enslave eastern europe and replace its reduced population with ethnic german settlers. everything about it was all planned and discussed. figures were laid out. thought was put into the extermination of entire groups of people. the final solution was only the start.
what kind of ‘wasted effort and manpower’ are we talking about here? the einsatzgruppen following behind the wehrmacht? that process was phased out, but not because it was a ‘drain on manpower.’ the nazis wanted a more ‘efficient’ way of executing mass murder that could be done faster and with the ‘best results.’ the extermination camp system was the answer to that. killings were mechanized via the gas chambers and bodies were disposed of in the crematoriums, rather than being routinely shot and disposed of in mass graves. the only argument i could see for ‘manpower’ is the camp personnel, but even then it wasn’t the personalized approach to killing that defined the einsatzgruppen. starvation, forced labor, brutal conditions, and illness were killing the surviving camp prisoners too.
and it was the whole point. the holocaust was a deliberately structured, planned nightmare meant to kill off thousands of people just for existing. nazi germany applied the lessons of the assembly line to mass murder. to characterize it as a ‘pointless waste of resources’ reeks of historical insensitivity and ignorance. removing it from nazi germany is enabling holocaust revisionism and denial. both of which are common today. now you have a history in the dcau where “the holocaust was either cut short or never happened at all.” by doing this, you are spitting on millions of people by suggesting, even in a fictional context, that their trauma never happened. you are delegitimizing the memory of the holocaust by deciding, intentionally, to whitewash it outright.
the problem isn’t just that they couldn’t depict the holocaust. it’s that they knew, and chose not to because it would break their whole narrative.
the rest it is typical cowardice and ignorant writing. ‘defending the country’ as if nazi germany hadn’t started the european theater on its own after making a false-flag attack? what kind of ‘defense’ are we talking about here? if you start a war and other people fight back, that’s on you, dumbass. you reap what you sow.
and this thing with savage apparently ‘stopping’ the holocaust by being ‘professional’ if there even is such a thing in wartime? is that supposed to make me empathize with the character somehow? “yuh he work for nazis and is ebil dictator but least he’s not a fanatical murdering racist hurr durr!!!”
which brings me onto the main problem here.
3) portrayal of nazi germany and nazism as an ideology in general.
i think you have a serious problem on your hands if you’re going to use the iconography and history of nazi germany, but then shy away from depicting it accurately. am i supposed to suspend my belief and accept that a bunch of violent racist shitstains allowed a non-german foreigner, who is canonically a caveman and most likely classified very low in the nazi racial hierarchy, to just walk in and take over just because of ‘cool technology?’ and then gets allowed to halt their genocide program based on racism and eliminationism literally in the ideology?
i’m going to tell you something that you probably don’t want to hear. vandal savage would not be accepted in anything near the nazi party. at best he’s denounced as a freak against nature (as pretty much every other metahuman would be, despite this whole ‘superhuman’ narrative that people are trying to conflate to nazi racism) and his plans are stolen and credited to some other asslicking sycophant. what does his dcau version have besides immortality? maybe he’s ordered to be killed and it obviously fails. but being immortal doesn’t mean you can’t feel pain. or that your brain won’t eventually snap from the helplessness of surviving everything, living with the humiliation and never being allowed to end it.
didn’t like that? sorry, that’s the reality of nazism, racism, and exclusionary eliminationist mentality in general for you.
Tumblr media
in the episode, nazism doesn’t get much of an explanation besides the general “take over the world” bullshit. swastikas and iconography are conveniently censored out, which is a problem in itself. unless you’re following the law, like say in germany, if you have to censor out parts of nazi germany, ideology and iconography included, because its not ‘appropriate’ for your audience…then maybe, you should try another plotline instead of sanitizing history. which shouldn’t be a problem for the dcau in the first place, because, once again. they have shown literal scenes of war crimes being committed against a child and her fellow refugees.
but dc comics has a bad history with this topic overall, and im going to confidently say that i’ve never seen anything that depicts nazism, explicitly named, as accurately as it should be. j michael stracynski’s first volume of wonder woman odyssey does a great job at explaining the methodology of genocide and the banality of evil without ever bringing nazi germany into the equation. it’s not even set in world war ii at all, but there is some offhand imagery that invokes nazi mass murder nonetheless. and it’s not surprising, considering JMS has personal experience with the ideology. his own abusive father was a war criminal and nazi collaborator.
dc can portray the ideology accurately and with the respect that the victims deserve, both historical and modern day. anyone can, if they do enough research. but the problem is, most of their ‘fun ideas’ lose the plot when confronted with the real horrors that they can’t face. there is no ‘fun’ in any of this. you either accept that truth and write conscientiously, or you fuck off back to your lane and never go near the topic at all. because it’s better not to have exploitative stories than suffer through actually reading one.
4) superhero brainrot over reality.
so why did the writers knowingly erase the holocaust from the dcau and omit all explicit references to nazi germany, even as they depicted other war crimes elsewhere and actually had a character intent on committing a global genocide?
the answer is simple. they even admitted it themselves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
that’s right. they didn’t care for the millions of lives lost in world war ii, or the human cost of that period to the point where “genocide” was coined as a legal term for the first time. no, this entire thing started off the base desire to recreate the jingoistic, american war propaganda of the golden age and satisfy some kind of itch. style was the motivator here over substance. that’s all. their own words speak for themselves.
conclusion
unless they have a personal, even harrowing connection to the ideology or knowledge of the topic (as jms does with his family history, or someone who has seen the ideology up close), a majority of people in the comic industry do not care about depicting the horrors of reality accurately. their motives are small-minded and focused on escapism. what the dcau writers wanted was a modern version of the golden age propaganda, where the american public knew next to nothing of the details in the final solution and nazis were just ‘stock villains.’ it couldn’t work, not with the knowledge we have today. so they cut out the holocaust, censored everything incriminating and watered it down to the point where it didn’t really matter.
and who out there, except a couple of people, are actually talking about it? for the most part, nobody else in the industry or the consumer market seems to care. look at the writers who are actually taking inspiration from this, or people citing it as something ‘decent’ for storytelling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
haha. oh god. we’re fucked.
tldr: despite being more than capable of depicting war crimes: the dcau writers couldn’t handle the reality of nazi germany and the holocaust, but still wanted their world war ii propaganda copium, so they intentionally pissed away every drop of their remaining self-respect and somehow got away with it.
