During the fight, Superman briefly remembers something from his world where he was an adult fighting something before he come back to his senses and sees Ruby and Yang in trouble. Superman uses his laser eyes to scare off the remaining Griffons and escaped. When Ruby and Yang asks him his name, he proudly tells them his superhero name, but they deny calling him that, which makes him disappointed. He instead just tell them his real name instead. The three of them decide to go to Beacon Academy to ask Ozpin for answers for the strange events.

In Menagerie, Blake is taking a break from Beacon Academy to spend time with her family. Suddenly she unexpectedly encounters an unknown intruder named Diana, who is also a princess who wants to find answers. Wonder Woman told Blake what she knows that she’s adult, but she doesn’t felt like she is and can’t remember how she got to Remnant. Blake suggests of calling Yang for help, but her mother, Kali reminds the CCT in Atlas has been down for a while. Blake decides to take Wonder Woman to Beacon Academy instead.

She notices something off about her father for some reason until she walks off. She encounter a rich noble named Bruce Wayne at the party. Suddenly, she began to have memories from the main timeline. However, Weiss came back her senses and notices her father is in distress that something has stole from him and found out Bruce was the one who stole it. She rat out Bruce for being a thieve to Altas police. Bruce tried to explain to Weiss that he’s not from Remnant and he needs to find a way home. He fight and beat three Atlas police officers , but he is unable to beat Weiss due to her highly skill as a Huntress. She freeze him until the police caught him.

After heartwarming reunion, Ruby, Blake, and Yang something strange that Menagerie is very close to Beacon Academy even though it suppose to be very far. Wonder Woman began to remember a bit before coming to Remnant as she and Superman were fighting a giant robot. Ruby, Blake, and Yang suddenly remember their real timeline and remembered that Beacon Academy was supposed to be destroyed. They unexpectedly encounter Ozpin, who was suppose to be dead and reincarnated as Oscar. Ozpin’s appearance glitch and change into Oscar.

They later go practice battle against them and mainly for Justice League to learn to their Semblances and weapons. In the end, Jaune, Nora and Ren manages to defeat them. Their match was interrupted by their friends and allies to come see them. Suddenly the simulation of Ozpin and Glynda vanished for unknown reason. After they reunited with each other (except Weiss and Batman), they piece together what the last thing they remember before coming to Remnant, but no clues since the rest of the Justice League has to same memory problems. They tried to figure out the mastermind for this either villains like Brainiac and Savage from their world. Flash suggests it might be Killg%re, but they denied it. Both teams and Justice Leagues are forced to work together to find a way out in the simulation of Remnant. Wonder Woman realizes Batman is missing.

However, Green Lantern doesn’t want to go alone to find her Power Ring so Jaune volunteers to go with her instead.

In Atlas, Batman and Weiss work together go find lab within Schnee Manor, but it was protected by Grimms. He uses his Semblance to discover that there is hidden door that is completely invisible. He believes the Grimms are illusions and they aren’t real before Weiss proceed to fight them with her Arma Gigas.

They come to the realization that the room, and the whole world they're in, is nothing but an illusion. The two are then attacked by a Seer. Jaune goes to attack, but it grabs him by the neck. Jessica leaps into action and throws Jaune's shield at the tentacle holding him, severing it and freeing Jaune.

  • According to Kerry Shawcross, this movie and its sequel are considered canon-adjacent, similarly to RWBY: Ice Queendom. This means that while it fits into the canon story of RWBY, it is unlikely to affect or be referenced by the main series.[6]
  • Unlike the comic where most of the Justice League were portrayed as being natives of Remnant, this version of the Justice League appears to be the same ones from the DC Universe, having been somehow transported to the RWBY universe.
    • Despite of some of the Justice League's outfits based on their Remnant counterparts, Bruce's Faunus trait is bat wings instead of bat ears.
      • After the first official trailer released, Diana, Victor, Barry, and Jessica have completely different outfits and hairstyles.
      • Jessica appears to be younger close to pre-teen or early teens rather than a young woman.

  • This movie was released early at WonderCon on the same day as "Confessions Within Cumulonimbus Clouds".
  • This movie was released on the same day as DC/RWBY #3.
  • This is the first time Earth was mentioned in the series.
  • The Justice League members sent to Remnant also, to some degree, hold to RWBY's Color Naming Rule:
    • Superman is known as the Red-Blue Blur. His Earthling legal name "Clark" comes from the the Latin word clericus which means "scribe," "secretary," "scholar," "cleric," bringing the colors of White parchment and Black ink to mind. His Kryptonian birth name "Kal-El" translates to "Star-child" with "star" bringing to mind White and Yellow. His alias is the "Blue-Red Blur".
    • Wonder Woman's first name in her hero name, "wonder", brings the color Yellow to mind.
    • Batman is known as the Dark Knight, with "dark" invoking the color Black.
    • The Flash is known as the Scarlet Speedster while his speed color is Yellow.
    • Cyborg's real name is Victor Stone, with Stone being a shade of Gray.
    • Green Lantern's hero name has the color Green in it.
    • Vixen is a shade of Brown or Orange.
  • Batman is locked in an Atlas cell numbered 39 which a reference to the year 1939, the same year Batman debuted.

RWBY Connections[]

  • The movie's place in the timeline seems to be somewhere during RWBY's time in Atlas, presumably after "Pomp and Circumstance" and before the last half of "Sparks".
  • When Team RWBY and Jaune remembers their real timeline, the images shown are drawn instead of using images from each Volume.
  • When Cyborg overcharges Nora with his Semblance to take down a Wyvern the first time, Nora’s lightning marks on her body foreshadow the scars she receives in "Strings" where overcharging her Semblance results in her getting scars on her upper body.
  • The simulation of Remnant is stated to be in the year of 20XX. It is unknown if this is actual time to the real Remnant or not since the year was never seen or mentioned in the main series.
  • The simulation differs from the real world of Remnant in many ways.
    • Grimm are capable of absorbing dust and shooting lasers. They also 'glitch out' very often.
      • It appears that due to their nature, they do not count as Grimm for the purposes of the power of the Silver Eyes. Ruby does not appear able to activate them in their presence.
      • A small piece of defeated Grimm actually persists after the Grimm itself is defeated. Weiss even notes this is not how Grimm work.
    • The timeline of the simulation is different from the real world of Remnant, appearing to exist as a logical extension of what might have happened had Beacon not Fallen.
      • The CCT is still down, despite the fact the Tower itself is intact.
      • Blake is in contact with her parents and in fact seems to have gone back home for break.
        • For unknown reasons, Blake wears her bow continuously after leaving Menagerie.
      • Weiss is likewise home. Though in a departure from the real world, Weiss can apparently disparage her father in public without his simulation self retaliating or seeming to care at all.
      • Yang's arm is still a prosthetic. This despite the fact that everyone looks exactly like updated versions of their volume 1-3 models, including Yang herself.
      • Pyrrha is not with her team, despite the fact this is supposed to be a world where the Fall never happened. Furthermore none of the characters are surprised by her absence until realizing they were in a simulation. Jaune even states outright she's "gone" (in a very final tone) afterward.
      • RWBY-JNR are all able to completely remember everything they know about Ozpin's secrets as easily as they can remember fundamental facts about Grimm or Aura. This was despite the fact that other things they learned as a result of the Fall are generally more muddled.
        • The fact that Ozpin is dead & reincarnated into Oscar is however something they do not automatically recall after attempting to go to him at his office at Beacon as if his tenure as headmaster went uninterrupted.
