I don't that Vixen: The Movie is a technically a "movie" I think it's a compilation of an animated web-series for the CW Seed based on the Arrowverse version of Vixen that showed up in Arrow season 4 and reveals her origin story and if you're watching Legends of Tomorrow season 4 it does explain a lot of backstory involving her sister, the fire totem, and how Ray Palmer met Mari and knew about her destiny.
Vixen is voiced by the actress who voiced her on Arrow also has a pretty good supporting cast of actors doing voice work including Steven Amell, Grant Gustin, Brandon Routh, Victor Garber, Kate Cassidy, and few others all do good work Amell and Gustin are really good (even if a few of these feel like fanservice).
The first half is Vixen's origin story and how she met the Green Arrow and The Flash and how her battle with her sister, and the second half has her teaming up with the Flash, Green Arrow, her sister, and Team Arrow to stop a some nutball who gets the fire totem from burning down Detroit, and how her sister gets "killed" and the fire totem is "destroyed".
It's well animated and most of the characters look like the actors who play them in real life. It is short at 75 minutes and it is fast paced. There are some really good action scenes and some really great banter. For the Mari McCabe version of Vixen who hasn't appeared outside of Arrow and with the involvement of the totems, her sister, and grandmother on Legends of Tomorrow this feels bigger than it should.
Fans of seasons 4 of DC's Legend of Tomorrow and Arrow should check it out just because it explains some things on those shows and it's a fun way to kill 75 minutes. It's not the best DC animated movie but it is a fun action packed movie that does what it supposed too.
Batman: Gotham By Gaslight is an awesome movie. It's been a while since I read the book but the identity of Jack the Ripper in the movie surprised the hell out of me.
Batman and Harley Quinn is not the deepest or the most moving but it is one of the funniest DC animated movies, I enjoyed it more than I thought.
Teen Titans: Judas Contract is a boring film based on the best Teen Titans story and is set in the same universe with Son of Batman and Justice League: War is set in and blows most of what made the comic worthwhile Nightwing and Robin are two different characters (Dick and Damien respectfully), Deathstroke was already introduced in Son of Batman, and Terra is not that interesting. They also did this storyline better on the Teen Titans TV series.
