| Justice League Dark | comment |
When innocent civilians commit mysterious crimes, the Justice League investigates and soon discovers the source is mystical in nature. As it is out of their purview, the League is forced to turn to a team of mystics — John Constantine, Zatanna Zatara, Deadman, Black Orchid, Jason Blood, and Swamp Thing — to help deal with the crisis at hand. Joined by Batman, they must find out what's going on and try to stop it.Justice League Dark is a 2017 animated film and part of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line. This movie is based on the Justice League Dark series from the New 52 and set in the DC Animated Movie Universe. Befitting this, Jason O'Mara again reprises his role from those movies as Batman. Other voice actors include Matt Ryan reprising his Constantine role as its title character John Constantine, Camilla Luddington (Tomb Raider (2013)) as Zatanna, Nicholas Turturro (NYPD Blue) as Deadman, and Ray Chase (Final Fantasy XV) as Jason Blood and his other half Etrigan, Roger Cross (24) as Swamp Thing and John Stewart, Colleen O'Shaughnessey (The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes) as Black Orchid, Enrico Colantoni (Flashpoint) as Felix Faust, and Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) as Destiny.Despite early reports of being a Sequel Series to Constantine, Constantine: City of Demons is ultimately a Spin-Off of this film. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Justice League Dark / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Batman is skeptical of magic being the cause of the random acts of violence, despite a literal demon having invaded the Earth in the last film in this continuity. He's aware that Shazam, Arthur's trident and Wonder Woman's lasso are all magical, too. | |

The Problem with Fighting Death | |
| Justice League Dark / int_140e849 | comment |
The Problem with Fighting Death: The Shrouds will wait as long as it takes to drag a damned soul to Hell, and there's really nothing one can do to avoid that fate; they can only postpone it. In his desperation to avoid it, Ritchie tried to reform the Dreamstone to gain immortality, but ultimately fell victim to possession by Destiny and was left to the Shrouds as soon as Destiny lost. The Shrouds mention that Batman has apparently eluded them many times, something they consider "vexing". | |

The Cameo: Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Hawkman, and Green Lantern (John Stewart) make a cameo in the beginning when discussing the crimes being committed around the world. Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and Hawkman don't even have lines. During the climax, only Superman, Wonder Woman, and John Stewart return briefly. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Justice League Dark / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: The Shrouds, beings which take souls to Hell, mention that Batman has avoided them many times. This implies he either came close to crossing the line which would doom him to Hell, or worse means that he's avoided death and he's already doomed to Hell. Or they could simply be referring to how Batman tends to go out of his way to actually save the criminals he deals with, thus robbing the Shrouds of the wicked and sinful souls they're so eager to collect. | |

Deal with the Devil | |
| Justice League Dark / int_1fc8335e | comment |
Deal with the Devil: Before the events of the movie, Ritchie Simpson discovered a piece of the Dreamstone. Through this piece, the evil wizard Destiny promised to permanently restore Ritchie's health and magical powers if he completes the Dreamstone. Desperate for a chance to forever escape Hell, Ritchie took the deal. However, when Ritchie completes the Dreamstone, he only has a moment to revel in his newfound power before Destiny takes over his body. When Destiny is exorcized, Ritchie regains his body but is dragged to Hell immediately afterwards. By this point, he has truly lost everything, including friends who could have saved him. | |

Muggles Do It Better | |
| Justice League Dark / int_21eb1793 | comment |
Muggles Do It Better: Since Batman can't do magic, he relies on his gadgets and brain to help and it's done well. When Ritchie is about to die, Deadman tries to fight off the Shrouds to stop them from taking Ritchie's soul, but Batman uses an intracardiac injection to revive him. When dealing with Felix, when Batman is about to use his Grappling-Hook Pistol on him, Constantine tells him, "Not everything can be solved with your peashooter." When Felix traps Constantine in a cube of water, Batman uses his grapnel gun to pull away Felix's spell book from him to disable the cube and swing Constantine to safety. A simple exploding batarang turns the Dreamstone into a bunch of pretty shards, making sure Destiny is never coming back. | |

Good Is Not Nice | |
| Justice League Dark / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Constantine is still the same Good Is Not Nice Manipulative Bastard that he is in the comics, but here he is much more openly caring about others and actively keeps others away if they can't help, whereas the comic version gladly surrounds himself with useful allies for his scheming. This version also lacks the Stalker with a Crush trait with Zatanna that was mutually destructive for them both. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Justice League Dark / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Not Batman, oddly enough. Ritchie suckers John into bringing him into the House of Mystery knowing that he would order Orchid "to help him any and every way [she's] able." A later one is during the final fight. Constantine tricks Destiny, who is inside an impenetrable magic shield bubble immune to magic or spiritual attack. Grabbing him, Destiny draws him inside. Turns out, Constantine had allowed Deadman to enter him to get the ghost inside, giving Boston an opening to possess Destiny and leave him vulnerable to attack. | |

Noodle Incident | |
| Justice League Dark / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Sometime before the film, Constantine and Ritchie had some sort of adventure referred to as the "Newcastle Incident". Apparently — at the prompting of Zatanna no less — she and Constantine once made an unsuccessful attempt to save monkeys trapped in a cage in Sumatra. Constantine still somewhat holds it against her, which annoys Zatanna greatly. Wonder Woman mentions that the League has had encounters with mystical forces before, naming Circe and Felix Faust. | |

Weak to Magic | |
| Justice League Dark / int_72791e55 | comment |
Weak to Magic: The main premise of Justice League Dark is that an unknown force is taking control of people causing them to murder indiscriminately under the belief that the people they are murdering are actually demons. The Justice League attempts to intervene after parents start murdering their children, but most members, such as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern are shown to be vulnerable to magic. The threat to the world is too great if one of these powerhouses were to become magically brainwashed, so Batman assembles a special team better equipped to handle it, which includes John Constantine, Zatanna, Deadman, Black Orchid, Jason Blood, and Swamp Thing. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Downplayed with regards to Destiny when comparing his modern incarnation with his past self from Arthurian times. His stone and abilities are no different from the past, but there were way less people around in those days and they were more sparsely spread out across the land. The reason he's so much stronger in modern times is that there are a lot more people around to terrorize and feed off nightmares from. Since the amount of potential fuel sources are much greater, Destiny's powers have grown to reflect that. | |

Morality Pet | |
| Justice League Dark / int_e3b0cd87 | comment |
Morality Pet: Zatanna serves as one to Constantine, being the only one that can bring out his slightly nicer and more moral side. Constantine, in turn, manages to be this for Zatanna, as when Zatanna is out of control Constantine is the one who brings her out of it. | |

| Justice League Dark / int_e6132e31 | comment |
Old Flame: Implied between Constantine and Zatanna. Less subtle after Black Orchid outright states that Zatanna, though angry at Constantine, still has feelings for him. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Justice League Dark / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Swamp Thing is concerned with the Green, and only the Green. He frankly wouldn't care if all of humanity died and thinks the recent events are justice for the destruction of the Green, but he has a soft spot for Zatanna since she has a garden. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
| Justice League Dark / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: Downplayed. The film has both John Constantine and John Stewart, but the latter's name isn't mentioned. The same could apply to Destiny himself, but it's averted in the film. In the comics, Doctor Destiny's alter ego is John Dee; we aren't told what name he had before turning to villainy in this movie. | |

Drama-Preserving Handicap | |
| Justice League Dark / int_efacc623 | comment |
Drama-Preserving Handicap: Felix Faust renders Zatanna useless by casting a spell that prevents her from speaking. In the climax, she's both heavily weakened from previous magic use and preoccupied with holding off the Justice League. Constantine and Zatanna are preoccupied in a possessed man's mind when the filth monster attacks the hospital, leaving it down to Batman and Deadman to hold it off. They barely slow it down long enough for the magicians to return and instantly vaporize the thing. | |

Science Wizard: This is actually reversed with Destiny, who started out as a man of science before being corrupted by his study of dark alchemical magic. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
| Justice League Dark / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Zatanna is easily the strongest sorcerer on the team, able to restrain Superman (albeit only for a short time) and overpower Felix Faust. However, unlike the others, who have a handle on their magic, Zatanna ends up losing herself to the magic if she ever goes all out. It's suggested she has the capacity to control it, but doesn't like how the power feels and deliberately chooses not to test her limits. This is best shown by how she was unable to make Deadman visible to Batman unike Constantine. | |

R-Rated Opening | |
| Justice League Dark / int_f9ab4501 | comment |
R-Rated Opening: The movie opens with a woman going on a nightmare induced road rage and running over everyone in her sight, a man about to shoot his family dead after he had just killed his neighbors, and a woman throwing a baby off a high building before falling over the edge herself. Yep, this movie definitely earned its R rating. | |
