Crisis On Two Earths Images and Synopsis

 

Earlier this year we reported about Crisis On Two Earths being the next entry in the DC Universe Original Movie line, which had both TMT readers and staff members speculating on which of the numerous ‘Crisis’ storylines would be adapted for the DVD release.

Now, with this recent press release, we have some of our answers. Apparently the plot heavily borrows from Grant Morrison’s JLA: Earth 2 graphic novel, as we will get to see our heroes face off against an animated version of The Crime Syndicate (Sorry, The Justice Lords don’t count). Also along for the ride is a ’good’ Lex Luthor, who is no doubt a take on Crisis On Infinite Earth’s Alexander Luthor.

The video, to be released in Spring 2010, features an original story from award-winning animation/comics writer Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League) rooted in DC Comics’ popular canon of “Crisis” stories.

Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday, Green Lantern) is executive producer. Lauren Montgomery (Wonder Woman, Green Lantern) and Sam Liu (Superman/Batman: Public Enemies) are co-directors.

In Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, a “good” Lex Luthor arrives from an alternate universe to recruit the Justice League to help save his Earth from the Crime Syndicate, a gang of villainous characters with virtually identical super powers to the Justice League. What ensues is the ultimate battle of good versus evil in a war that threatens both planets and, through a diabolical plan launched by Owlman, puts the balance  of all existence in peril.

 

 The all-star voice cast is led by Mark Harmon as Superman, James Woods as Owlman, Chris Noth as Lex Luthor, William Baldwin as Batman, Gina Torres as Super Woman, and Bruce Davidson as The President.
