Darkness, mystery, legend - these are the whispers that echo through time regarding Atlantis. A kingdom long since forgotten to surface dwellers, it is here that a hidden empire teeters on the brink of war. When a military submarine traversing this remote domain is attacked, Cyborg plunges to the murky depths to investigate the wreckage. What he encounters is a threat powerful enough to rally together the newly formed Justice League. Meanwhile, thousands of feet above the ocean floor wanders the lone drifter Arthur Curry, a man with strange powers who may be the last chance to bridge the ancient Atlantean world and our own. Join Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the Justice League as they face off against otherworldly weapons and perilous odds. It's an all-new, epic chapter from the DC Universe in which mankind's only hope from the darkness rests upon guiding light of a man - Aquaman! (Roadshow Entertainment)

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.
