History YMMV / JusticeLeagueDoom

** Some fans have expressed unhappiness at the decisions to replace Aquaman with Cyborg, Kyle Rayner with Hal Jordan, Ra's al Ghul (The BigBad of ''Tower Of Babel'') with ComicBook/VandalSavage and the LegionOfDoom, and the omission of Plastic Man. The fact that, despite Michael Rosenbaum voicing the Flash, that it's Barry Allen and not Wally West ([[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague whom Rosenbaum voiced before]]) has also taken some people aback. Some fans who were introduced to the Green Lantern through the animated Justice League also were left with the short end of the stick with what could feel like a random replacement of Hal Jordan for John Stewart, despite Stewart not appearing in "Tower of Babel".

* WhatTheHellCastingAgency: Despite (and likely because of) the several examples of RoleReprisal, the fact that Creator/KharyPayton (Cyborg, ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''), Creator/MalcolmMcDowell (Metallo, Franchise/{{DCAU}}), Henry Silva or Creator/DannyTrejo (Bane, Franchise/{{DCAU}} and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' respectively), Sheryl Lee Ralph (Cheetah, Franchise/{{DCAU}}), and Dana Delaney (Lois Lane, Franchise/{{DCAU}}) weren't among them took many people aback. Also, again the fact that Creator/MichaelRosenbaum was voicing Barry Allen and not Wally West surprised many people. Though, if [[http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/Wonder-Woman/Cheetah/ this]] is any indication, Creator/ClaudiaBlack as Cheetah won most of the fanbase over and [[http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/Batman/Bane/ this]] and [[http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-compare/Flash/Flash-Barry-Allen/ this]] are any indication, if this were released after 2013, Creator/JBBlanc (who voiced Bane in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'') and Creator/NealMcDonough (who voiced Barry in ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'') would also be on the list.

* EvilIsSexy: Cheetah, Star Sapphire, and Vandal Savage.

** Ma'alefa'ak attracts Martian Manhunter's attention by taking the form of a seductive blonde woman and buying him a drink. He acts no less seductive even after J'onn finds out who he is. [[IncestSubtext Did we mention they're brothers?]] (even if the movie itself didn't)

* {{Squick}}: Again, Ma'alefa'ak attracting Martian Manhunter's attention by taking the form of a seductive blonde woman acting no less seductively even after J'onn finds out who he is, when you take in account they're brothers in the comics.

** Also the name was changed from ''Tower of Babel'' to ''Justice League: Doom'', however, this was a edit that was changed by TMS to avoid legal issues with BandaiNamcoEntertainment ([[http://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Tower_of_Babel_(1986_video_game) link of the game here]]).

* StrawmanHasAPoint:
** Batman's contingency plans may seem extreme, but how can you have a group of basically {{Physical God}}s and ''not'' have a way to keep them from becoming a danger to humanity? We also have to take into account the fact that Batman makes it clear that his plans were to ''disable'' the League, not kill them. He then explains that Savage took the basic plans and made lethal versions of them. This is in contrast to the comic, where Batman's plans were much more fatal and made that way by design, meant to be implemented if Bruce was ever going against a Justice League member in a me-or-him style fight.
** One of the producers narrating a making of documentary on the feature remarked that Batman had the right idea but his execution was wrong. The main argument for Batman's contingency plan is the question of competence. Not only should it have been impossible for a supervillain to learn of the existence of these contingencies but the easiness with which his security gets breached pretty much renders his reasoning moot.
** It's also important to remember all the times the League's members (both individually and as a group) have had their powers stolen, been cloned, succumbed to mind control, etc. Pretty much every single one of them has had ''all'' of these things happen at one time or another.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Batman. While we're probably meant to sympathize with Batman's stance on having contingency plans to take down heroes who are practically gods among men, he's such a nasty jerk about it that it's hard to side with him ([[spoiler:even after he gets buried alive with his dad's corpse]]).

** Batman's contingency plans may seem extreme but his quote at the top of the page is true.

* TheyJustDidntCare: There's a very strong sense of ''been there, done'' that with this feature, made all the more apparent by the painfully lackluster fight scenes, most of which pale in comparison to similar hero/villain match ups done in previous [=DVD=]s or even done in the DCAU. The Justice League Vs. Royal Flush Gang fight in the opening doesn't have half the energy from the "Wild Cards" episode of '''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''', despite that episode being done over ten years earlier on a much smaller budget. The Superman Vs. Metallo fight at the end isn't half as brutal as their fight in ''Superman/Batman: Public Enemies'', or even their fights in the mid-90s DCAU Superman series. Batman Vs. Bane ends the way it always ends - with Batman yanking that damn venom pump out of Bane's head. The only fight that really stands out is Wonder Woman Vs. Cheetah, a fight the animation team at WB have undoubtedly wanted to do for years.
** It doesn't end at the fights either - [[spoiler:Superman getting shot by Metallo with a Kryptonite bullet and then falling from a great height was done previously in ''Public Enemies'', Legion of Doom shout outs were done in ''Justice League Unlimited'']], etc. Hell, even the voice actors, mostly DCAU veterans (with Creator/NathanFillion being a hold over from the ''Emerald Knights'' DVD) sound bored with their work.

** Your mileage may vary. I'm a fan of the DCAU, and I thought the fight scenes here were very enjoyable overall- with the notable exception of Superman's vs. Metallo and Batman vs. Bane. Even the Kryptonite bullet idea was done differently than in Public Enemies, in that Superman's injury was treated as potentially lethal (and not a painful inconvenience). Likewise, for the most part the voice acting sounded top-notch to me.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Ten repeatedly hitting Superman in the face, only to have his blows bounce off of Superman ineffectually, eventually breaking one of his hands, and then having his other hand crushed by Superman before the Man of Steel smashes him to bits. Superman fans may love seeing Superman being an immovable object here after all the times he had to be a jobber in past animated Justice League features, but it's not particularly funny or impressive.

** Also the way everyone gazes longingly after Batman at the end after he leaves - even after he insulted them - as if they all want to say "Gee golly gosh, that Batman, what a guy!"

* {{Narm}}: As seen in MoodWhiplash the montage of scenes showing the League in defeat is more funny than tragic, especially [[spoiler:Superman's rather over the top fall after being shot by Metallo]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Batman. See BaseBreaker below.
* BaseBreaker: Was Batman fully justified in his actions, or was he a nutjob effectively planning to murder his closest allies with very flimsy reasoning?

** Batman's contingency plans may seem extreme but his quote at the top of the page is true. How can you have a group of basically {{Physical God}}s and ''not'' have a way to keep them from becoming a danger to humanity?
** More of a subversion, since it isn't made clear that Batman ''is'' a Strawman or that we are supposed to disagree with him. In most stories, Batman is presented as ''the'' moral paragon of the DC universe.

* CrackShip: Some fans ship Batman with Cheetah, for [[DatingCatwoman some reason]]. However, the two never actually ''interact'' at all together and are never even in the same frame. This is most likely heavily influenced by a scene from the ''Justice League'' cartoon where Batman seduces Cheetah while being held captive by Lex Luthor's Injuustice Gang.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Batman the OnlySaneMan for undertaking an unpleasant but necessary task of creating plans to disable and/or destroy his Justice League allies, or is his arrogant, NeverMyFault dismissal of his allies at the end as he storms out and quits the League like a spoiled child who cares more getting his way than he does about people and blatant insensitivity to how betrayed the other heroes feel indicate that he's just an immature, emotionally detached, PsychopathicManChild who is simply too out of touch with his humanity to understand anyone?

* {{Squick}}: Again, Ma'alefa'ak attracting Martian Manhunter's attention by taking the form of a seductive blonde woman acting no less seductively even after J'onn finds out who he ism, when you take in account they're brothers in the comics.

* MoodWhiplash: The montage of scenes showing the League defeated or slowly failing are quite tragic. That is, until the camera pans to ComicBook/MartianManhunter running around on fire, screaming at the top of his lungs. The action was so over the top that it's actually kind of funny.
