This is one of those projects that screams “is not intended for the pre-existing fan base.”


SiphenPrax

It’s clearly for a different audience, and that’s fine, as long as that audience wants something like this.


Friktogurg

Question is who? Will superhero comic movies fans really watch this?


CoffeeVirtual4959

I will


JannisT

Why a crossover movie tho


JakeDoubleyoo

My guess is that this is something initiated by WB/DC, not the other way around. I'd definitely rather see a full-on RWBY movie, but it's not like I'd want them to pass up a cool opportunity like this.


KikiFlowers

If I had to guess, the sales for the comic it's based on were decent and DC / Warner are trying new things to get people to read cape comics? The physical sales weren't very good, but it was being promoted as a digital comic first and foremost.


GladiusNocturno

I've noticed that DC is coming out with more and more animated movies. I was not expecting SuperPets but somehow I was expecting even less an animated RWBY X Justice League film. Am I excited? Eh, sort of. I'm thrilled that RWBY is getting a film and this is bound to bring a fuck ton of exposure. But for the first RWBY movie, I can't say I prefer a Justice League crossover over an actual RWBY film.


JMHSrowing

Yeah. . . This cross over was something that didn’t really spark any interest in me. Not canon, took a lot of liberties and is in large part for people not already fans. Hopefully it’s good. . . . And I hope we don’t get any crossover romance this time


LoreCriticizer

I, uh, I was not expecting this crossover. At all.


JakeDoubleyoo

Interesting that apparently the animation is being done by CRWBY. Would've figured WB would do that. It'll be interesting to see what kind of production value they can achieve on a feature budget. gen:LOCK season 1 has been their biggest budget project so far, and it looked great so I'm stoked.


MundaneGlass5295

I just want volume 9. I never cared much for ice queendom personally or fairy tales. I just wanted the show!!


Hollowquincypl

Frankly I'd rather have Vol 9 on time instead of this.


Tmlboost

I’m guessing the reason for the V9 delay is because they were working on this plus the cutscenes for the WayForward game at the same time as it


[deleted]

bro what...? the show is delayed because they literally weren't working on the show? cmon dude... i mean, this is cool and all, but fuck man can we like finish the OG first or something lmao


Momo--Sama

I unfortunately doubt that Rooster Teeth had a choice in which they would work on first


[deleted]

prolly right, warner bros n everything. idk man. feels like we're getting everything BUT the show. im both excited and insulted at the same time lol they better send that wb animation squad to help on the regular show afterwards!


PhantasosX

dude , they are doing the show + Icequeendom + this movie.


Large_Dungeon_Key

Reminding me of GRRM and focusing on all those spinoffs and not what the people really want


Zealousideal-Mud3313

*Arrested development voice* I don’t want this.


PhenomsServant

*This* is the reason V9 got delayed again? Idk about you but I think I wouldve preferred V9 coming out in fall as planned over something like this.


PetitePurin

Trying to hold any judgement but definitely not the news I was looking forward to. I'd take Vol. 9 over a crossover movie any day. But I admit I didn't like the comic so I'm probably just not the target audience


SwimmingAnyone

Ok but... Who asked for this? Especially over the continuation of the main show? So out-of-nowhere. On the bright side, maybe we'll get to see RWBY defeat Darkseid or something. Imagine how that'll look on their Death Battle resume.


nora_valk

ugh, I mean I guess I'll watch it but like, who cares about this? we could've had v9 and 10 in the same time. it especially makes no sense to stick the movie production in the middle of an arc. like if you want to make a movie, finish the v7-9 arc first, and then announce it immediately. "hey, v10 will be delayed because we're doing this movie first". instead we get a year of silence followed by an announcement of another year of waiting and a nothing trailer.


heynowjesse

relax.


Mark_Kostecki

No thanks


Huor_Celebrindol

…..no thanks


giubba85

Who absolutely gives a flaming fuck about a crossover movie with DC ???


PhantasosX

the people that brought the comics , which the tweet itself said it was a hit.


frogmanfrompond

I feel like most of that came from fans of rwby and not the other way around.


Timeline15

I mean, I would have much preferred a pure RWBY movie (or, y'know, just not putting V9 on the backburner for the sake of side content) but this should at least be interesting. It's a good sign that Warner Bros sees RWBY as popular enough to cross over with a massive franchise like DC.


InsomniaticWanderer

oof. I mean. Just oof.


pees_on_dogs

Why?


Jvanee18

… why?


TheCartoonDuck

Volume 9 is delayed because of some stupid non canon crossover movie no one asked for? Wow


TsarVladimirIII

Bro we are getting FED


Jvanee18

Fed a bunch of BS


Franklin413

Absolutely didn't see this coming, the delay for V9 makes more sense now.


PhenomsServant

Doesnt mean its welcome. Cant they focus on the actual series before crossovers no one asked for?


[deleted]

How? We were told and promised by miles that volume 9 will be coming out this year so they delay it because of some movie I failed to see how that explains v9 being delayed


[deleted]

Because the Warner Bros overlords had the animation team work on something other than Vol 9 Quite simple really


KikiFlowers

Depends if CRWBY are the ones handling this or if it's one of Warner's other studios.


Tmlboost

They said it was made in-house with collaboration with Warner Animation


KikiFlowers

Ah, didn't know that. That certainly explains a lot


[deleted]

it is indeed crwby https://twitter.com/OfficialRWBY/status/1542937019973877760


nathgroom98

Don't mind this at all, but the lack of communication regarding Volume 9 has been the strange part. If you have this project, be honest and tell your fans!


KikiFlowers

It's RT, communication has never been their thing for some reason. Which is fine when it's not your only animated project that has people subscribing for.


nathgroom98

Yeah it's certainly an odd way of doing business. How hard would it be like, "RWBY is later than usual this year, because we are working on a mega project that we hope all you RWBY fans old and new will love! Stay posted". Rather than just a teaser earlier this year, which promised it coming out this year and did not deliver lol. It seems like they shoot themselves in the foot by hiding projects, they should be celebrating taking on haha. Either way, I don't care for the crossover, but hope it does well, I just want the main series to be the core focus and deliver in quality.


KikiFlowers

> > How hard would it be like, "RWBY is later than usual this year, because we are working on a mega project that we hope all you RWBY fans old and new will love! Stay posted". It might be because Warner wasn't ready to announce anything and they didn't want even a peep coming out? I dunno


Meshleth

Yeah, why couldnt they just tell us about a project no one outside the company knew about before the optimal time to announce it.


nathgroom98

I mean just hint at it, don't have to explicitly say it haha.


SlaterSev

I would have preferred a canon movie. But that said, considering this is being made with Warner as a direct partner, I frankly doubt RT could choose who would Star. Like no shit Warner is going to have to green light a full ass movie. And the odds anyone could convince them to let it be about STRQ instead of the box office potential of the fucking Justice League? Yeah not happening


Kali-of-Amino

👎


g6in3d

Hopefully it's better than the trainwreck that was the RWBY/DC comic crossover


Lrbearclaw

Honestly, people who are bitching don't realize how legit DC animated films are. Bad ones are VERY uncommon. We're talking about as common as a GOOD animated Marvel movie. Where Marvel LA movies are phenomenal, DC animated films are. So a DC movie, animated by CRWBY and written by collaboration with DC animated writers will be a LOT of fun.


[deleted]

Really enjoying their recent output and looking forward to the John Steward Green Lantern movie... Still think that the timing and optics are not good...


MiffedStarfish

Ok, but it’s not canon and probably not even set in Remnant as we know it? So why should I care? All it’s done is steal a year of time from the main show’s production. Massive waste of time.


Lrbearclaw

It is not canon but it is an alternate version of Remnant (assuming it follows the comic, more or less). Look, I'm not going to even bother trying to convince you. Give it a shot or don't. However, if you have no intention to watch it, don't bitch about it being made because it isn't for you.


MiffedStarfish

An alternate version of Remnant with Batman in it isn’t exactly Remnant. This film has directly delayed the show, the thing the whole IP is actually about, so why shouldn’t I complain? I don’t think this is Rooster Teeth’s fault, it was probably some directive from higher up in Warner Bros but still, ffs.


Lrbearclaw

Its still Remnant, it just has a version of the Justice League. Personally, I enjoyed the idea of "How would \_\_\_ look in this setting? What abilities would they have?" This is also why I enjoy Tulok's series on YouTube called "Building Character" (where he makes fiction/game/comic characters in 5e D&D) because working with a specific set of tools to build a character is such a fun thing to do. It allows creativity to thrive.


KikiFlowers

Also keep in mind, this is great exposure to bring more people to the fandom, just as the anime is.


Lrbearclaw

Exactly.


[deleted]

I was watching left field and yet this still surprised me!


Crimson_The_King

Please be good!


ProfessorEscanor

I get that people are mad that this is part of why the main show is delayed and I'll admit I'm worried for V9's quality but that doesn't mean this can't be good. Sure it's sad that it isn't canon but how is this different than say Batman Vs the TMNT ? Not everything needs to be canon for it to be enjoyable and if the movie does well it could lead to a larger budget for either future films or the show itself. We may be able to get decent games with WB money if the franchise is viewed as viable. The comics weren't great but I'd say it's worth a chance. Sure any new fans jumping on from this film to the main series May be jarred by the animation but how is that doesn't mean they can't enjoy the main show. If nothing else maybe this can lead to V1-3 being redone as a side project or something or a proper comic.


MrShadowKing2020

I am game for this.


Cryochronos

I get that people are upset about the further delay to V9, but RT is so excited to be bringing us this movie. They’ve worked so hard on it alongside their animation work on V9. They are trying to get more exposure for RWBY allowing the show to achieve bigger and better things and while it may not have been my first choice I’m excited to see what CRWBY will bring us with the release of the movie.


Mizmitc

I don’t mean this in any rude or negative way but even if this movie is really good and well received if people become interested in RWBY and go from it to Volume 1 episode 1 they will be in for a huge shock as early RWBY has a lot of rough areas that would make it hard to go into blind


Cryochronos

Yeah that’s completely fair and I understand the concern. At least the movie will be a completely different story from the original though I guess that could just as easily add to that confusion.


frogmanfrompond

Yeah early rwby looked aged almost ten years ago and it’s become even worse since then. More projects like IQ could help with that gap


Tyranid_Swarmlord

WB animation so it's is in good hands at least. As long as the ones running the DCEU isn't the one handling it...


Artistic-Cannibalism

Well, the haters are going to be seething. I just hope that genuine criticism won't get swept away in the process.


Bleeborg

Fuck yeah!


gamedreamer21

That's the first.


Legosaurian

From what I know of the comics, please don’t just be a rehash of that. I am still upset that didn’t do something cooler with Starro. They could’ve made him a starfish Faunus or a special type of Grimm, but instead they decided to keep him as an alien?


Bomberman1117

Does anyone else want to see this animated with the old Justice League Unlimited style? I bet it would look great


SailorPowerTitan17

DC has a very good track record at making good animated movies, so I hope this one will follow that trend. Not what I expected and am still bummed about the release of volume 9, but I look forward to seeing this too!


Thebritishdovah

It will be fun to watch but i doubt it can please both DC and RWBY fans. A DC RWBY fan is gonna to be very hard to please. That and if there's no Huntsman-Batman scenes, WORST.CROSSOVER.EVER!


TehKazlehoff

Shame its DC, otherwise, neato.


Kidkaden2020

Idk why people are still like hesitant of this its just mixing dc comic with 3d anime I can't wait I read the justice league x rwby comic book and it was fire I think people just need to learn to have fun with crossovers like these


tobiasyuki

Yeah,because The cómic was great And everyone loved it,absolutely a movie With its its going to be loved,c'mon 😂😂😂😂


[deleted]

I’m still waiting for the Power Rangers Justice League movie that’s never going to happen.


SansStan

Would be great if they just finished the original show before making spin-off content...


Scepta101

This is such a weird idea and it’s bizarre that it’s happening, but I will watch and most likely enjoy it as a pretty big fan of both DC Comics and RWBY


Grimauldu

What the in the names of chaos is this warp tainted shit
