Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is an original story from
award-winning animation/comics writer Dwayne McDuffie (Justice
League) rooted in DC Comics’ popular canon of “Crisis” stories
depicting parallel worlds with uniquely similar heroes and
villains. Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday) is executive producer.
Lauren Montgomery (Wonder Woman, Green Lantern: First Flight)
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 movie features an all-star voice cast led by Mark Harmon
(NCIS) as Superman, James Woods (Ghosts of Mississippi) as
Owlman, Chris Noth (Sex and the City, Law & Order) as Lex Luthor,
William Baldwin (Dirty Sexy Money) as Batman, Gina Torres
(Serenity, Firefly) as Superwoman and Bruce Davison (X-Men) as
the President.

ethereal twist, featuring the otherworldly character originally

-Featurette – “The New World”: From Identity Crisis forward, DC
Comics raised the stakes with talent writers, editors and
artists pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a modern
day Super Hero. This documentary covers the riveting and often
harrowing tale of New York Times bestselling author Brad
Meltzer’s Identity Crisis, and why this story struck the right
chord with the comic book audience. The story is a personal one
for the creator, as well as the DC Comics executives’ fortunate
enough to have been a part of this mature comic book
publication. While revealing the strategy and sentiments behind
this comic book, the documentary film goes a step further to
explore the continuing and recent publications of Infinite
Crisis and Final Crisis, while crafted with the narration of The
Dark Knight Executive Producer Michael Uslan. The tension is
high, the story is personal, and the stakes have been raised!
