A power struggle and a couple of assassinations in Atlantis result in Arthur Curry, long lost heir to the throne, being called upon to take up his birthright. This does not go down well with his half-brother (and usurping assassin) Orm, who is looking to wage war on the surface dwellers. Fortunately, the Justice League decides to get involved.
The comic on which this story was based was an OK story blessed with stellar art. Well, the visuals in this animated movie are OK. The story is fine, albeit the New 52 characterisation of various of the characters still jars. And it's this last point which takes the edge of what would otherwise be a really good movie. As it is, it's just OK.
