Today’s quick review: Lego DC Super Heroes: Justice League – Attack of the Legion of Doom!. Frustrated with losing to the Justice League, Lex Luthor (John DiMaggio) assembles Earth’s greatest supervillains to form the Legion of Doom. For their first crime, the Legion breaks into Area 52 to free the Martian Manhunter (Dee Bradley Baker) and turn his psychic powers against the League.
Lego DC Super Heroes: Justice League – Attack of the Legion of Doom! is a family animated superhero comedy. The story follows Batman (Troy Baker), Superman (Nolan North), Wonder Woman (Grey Griffin), Green Lantern (Josh Keaton), the Flash (James Arnold Taylor), and the League’s newest member Cyborg (Khary Payton) as they try to stop the first large-scale supervillain team-up.
Attack of the Legion of Doom! has a better balance than some of the other Lego superhero movies. The plot hangs together nicely, focusing on Lex’s plan to get rid of the Justice League and Cyborg’s attempts to prove himself after botching a mission. The humor skews young but can be charming. And while the gags and the action both take advantage of Lego physics, the Lego elements do not derail the superhero storyline.
Lego DC Super Heroes: Justice League – Attack of the Legion of Doom! is a fine pick for those looking for something light and family-friendly. It does not have the sharp humor or novelty needed to hook older viewers, but it manages to avoid the usual missteps of the genre, thanks to a coherent plot and humor that never goes too far amiss.
For a more serious take on the Legion of Doom, try Justice League: Doom. For another animated superhero movie with Superman and Martian Manhunter, try Superman: Man of Tomorrow. For a Lego superhero movie with better humor, try The Lego Batman Movie or Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash.
[6.3 out of 10 on IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4938416/). I give it a 6.5 for a fun story without much depth.
