3 battle scenarios? An R rating? I was definitely intrigued!
It looked almost like an anthology: Diana Prince as "Pale Rider", Superman in a Twilight Zone episode and a "Batman the Barbarian", Sword & Sorcery sequence!
"Count me in!", was my reaction to the trailer.
After watching the film, I admit that it is full of unexpected twists and takes on the classic DC Super Hero Trinity of Clark, Diana and Bruce (I am on a first name basis).
I have to hand it to the writers and concept developers for innovation with retrofitting Warworld as less of a gladitorial environment and more of a weaponized battle star ship.
Mongul's character is also reimagined as less of a muscle-bound thug and more of a commander or a vague kind of capitalist autocrat who mines the fear and terror his world's population to power his ship.

How the three disparate scenarios experienced by Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman are explained was a big surprise to me. But I appreciate the plot twist.
It continues the animation style of Superman: Man of Tomorrow and Legion of Superheroes. It took me a little time to get use to the style but I have come to like the fresh look. Voice talent is well-used. Check the IMDB site for all the cast, but I will mention Jensen Ackles as a standout Batman.
I give it a "Worth the viewing" rating of 7 out of 10.
