Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film features a mostly traditional cast and focuses on abilities, personalities, and supernatural problems. There isn’t much emphasis on modern identity markers; characters are developed for their roles, not as ideology checklists. There’s little evidence of forced representation or invincible “diverse” characters.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Justice League Dark’ avoids undermining traditional family, religion, or masculinity. It sticks with familiar DC themes: heroism, personal sacrifice, and responsibility, rather than taking jabs at traditional values or revising cultural foundations to suit modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film keeps worldview plurality through magic vs. mundane dilemmas and doesn’t make a point of mocking or villainizing dissenting perspectives. Its main focus is supernatural threat, not ideological uniformity or shaming traditional viewpoints.
