This thrilling animated sequel to Justice League: War dives deep into the fascinating origins of one of the Justice League's most enigmatic heroes: Aquaman. Young Arthur Curry has no idea that he is heir to the throne of the kingdom of Atlantis. Right now, he's a lost and confused outsider just trying to cope with the death of his human father. When he learns of his true aquatic heritage, Arthur has some tough choices to make. But he doesn't have long to find his path in life: the Atlanteans are about to escalate a war with the surface world -- and only by joining with the mighty Justice League can Arthur help avert global disaster and finally embrace his destiny as Aquaman.

This is absolutely fine. I've read the comics, and admittedly the story was perhaps a little more climactic, but in the context of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series, Throne of Atlantis is an absolutely perfect piece. It's a nice tie-in to Justice League: War and the reality of The New 52 is becoming completely natural. Maybe I should be gnashing my teeth over another version of Wonder Woman, but why bother? If this is her face from the animated The New 52 and she continues to be this way, I'll get used to it. Lantern and Flash have plenty of one-liners, Bats is cold-nosed, Cyborg is riding his own plotline and Shazam! hardly interests anyone, so why not enjoy Aquaman's ascension to the throne and Clark Kent and Diana Prince dating?

Just another story about how superheroes manage to accomplish something only when they're in a team. Atlantis is presented here as a dark land, and Aquaman is an interesting character, but his potential in this case was definitely not fully utilized. It's just another weak addition to the superhero genre because, with superheroes, creators don't have to try that hard since there's so much of it that most of it just blends in.
