YMMV / JLA Adventures: Trapped In Time

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Time Trapper is an evil being who can control time and is trapped in an ancient hourglass. After being freed by Lex Luthor, Time Trapper uses his power to help Lex and the Legion of Doom travel back in time so they can prevent Clark Kent from becoming Superman, ensuring that neither Superman nor the Justice League exists in the present. Eventually, the Time Trapper frees himself from Lex Luthor's control and banishes him to non-existence. The Time Trapper then enacts his real plan and uses his power to try and destroy the world.
  • Fanon:
    • Since there is no indication in the movie itself, it is accepted the Flash is Wally West instead of Barry Allen due to his voice actor (Jason Spisak) having previously voiced Wally (as Kid Flash) in Young Justice (2010). Also, this Flash is a Big Eater just like Wally on that show and the DCAU Justice League, although he does have blue eyes like Barry. Word of God is fans are free to decide which Flash it is.
    • Robin is also accepted as Jason Todd on Tumblr, likely due to his extreme sarcasm and brutal fighting style. Granted, most Robins have a sarcastic streak in them, though none quite as much as Jason. He does use a staff which is Tim Drake's trademark, though that has sometimes carried over to other Robins like Dick Grayson in Teen Titans (2003).
    • Due to Batman sharing the same voice actor as the one from Batman: The Brave and the Bold, it's again accepted that this is the same Batman (Bruce Wayne instead of, say, adult Dick), but that's expected.
  • Heartwarming Moments: Superman finds Lex wandering through the Arctic freezing his ass off, so he gives him his cape to keep warm as they fly back to civilisation. It really sells how Supes is a compassionate hero who shows plenty of concern for the lives of his foes.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In this film, Lex Luthor makes the mistake of thinking he can control the god-like powers of the Time Trapper for his own ends but ends up being proven wrong and gets Out-Gambitted by Time Trapper. Many years later, a different version of Lex in Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse ends up making the same mistake with the Kryptonian goddess Cythonna and ends up being made to look like a Big Bad Wannabe as well.
  • Shipping Goggles: With some very obvious New 52 influences, namely the costume, Superman flies up after Wonder Woman when the Time Trapper sends her towards the vortex - a possible shout out to their romance in the New 52.
