Justice Society: World War II opens with Wonder Woman (Stana Katic of Castle) leading a team of superheroes to stop Hitler’s pursuit of magical artifacts that could give the Nazis an edge in World War II.

The demands of building a franchise pull the 90-minute animated feature in too many directions to focus on its objectively awesome premise: Wonder Woman in the role of Indiana Jones.

The Flash-centric Justice Society: World War II seems to be the first major step at setting up that new continuity, but at the detriment of its pulpy, enjoyable premise. Justice League Dark: Apokolips War brought seven years of the DC Animated universe’s interconnected plotlines to a conclusion in 2020, when the Flash reset the whole timeline in the hope of creating a better future.
