Teleporting to Luthor's Earth, a planet where a superpowered crime syndicate has risen to power, Supes and his brightly hued comrades attempt to reinstate some law and order in a world gone mad. But a heartbeat scan and a peek at a maximum security prison leaves everyone but Batman nodding their heads. When Lex Luthor's unexpectedly upstanding double (skillfully voiced by Chris Noth) arrives from a parallel Earth to recruit the Justice League's finest - Superman (an asleep-at-the-mic Mark Harmon), Wonder Woman (Vanessa Marshall), the Green Lantern (Nolan North), the Flash (Josh Keaton), Martian Manhunter (Jonathan Adams), and Bats himself (William Baldwin, lumbering his way through lines Kevin Conroy would have brought to life) - he's greeted with a healthy dose of skepticism. Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths owes its very existence to these same stories, and subsequently suffers from many of the same problems.Īvengers assemble! What? Oh. More often than not, they've revealed themselves to be lazy gimmicks formulaic crossover events designed to boost sales and offer diehards quick-n-easy access to their favorite heroes' carefully guarded psyches. Sadly, such stories have lost their edge after countless incarnations. it's the stuff of fanboy dreams and comic industry gold.
Who better to face a near-invincible demigod like Superman than an equally powerful manifestation of his darkest impulses? Who better to challenge a strategist like Batman than a mentally unstable Dark Knight who believes murder and justice are one in the same? Who better to battle Wonder Woman in hand to hand combat than a cruel, callous Amazonian who chose an entirely different path? Manhunter against Manhunter, Flash racing Flash, Lantern versus Lantern. Long before DC and Marvel began making billions at the worldwide box office, long before graphic novels became a staple of every bookstore, dastardly doppelgängers, evil twins, and villainous heroes from alternate realities were putting Earth's mightiest to the test.
