A good version of Lex Luthor from a parallel Earth comes to the Justice League's dimension for help to fight their evil counterparts. Back when DC knew what the heck they were doing. I knew the new Justice League movie was going to su#k because Man of Steel was boring as $hit, Batman V Superman was garbage, Suicide Squad was a joke, Wonder Woman was a "C" movie at best plus there are heavy rumors that DC pretty much gave up on things after Suicide Squad. Anyway - this animation is excellent. I did enjoy Justice League: New Frontier, but between this and that, I consider this the slightly better movie. My only real reservations actually was two members of the voice cast. William Baldwin does what he can, but lacks the mystery and darkness of what I associate Batman with. Mark Harmon is also too monotone for Superman. My other reservation was Superman and Luthor's relationship which I think could have been expanded more. However, most of the voice acting is great. I think Chris Noth brings a great deal of heroism to Lex Luthor, and while underused Nolan North is both heroic and sinister. The best are Gina Torres, who gives Superwoman a great femme-fatale edge, and especially James Woods, whose Owlman is just superb. The animation is atmospheric and detailed with some funky character designs like with Wonder Woman and the music is haunting. The writing is mature and sharp, more so than New Frontier, Superwoman and Flash's quips are especially funny without jarring, and the story has an edge and urgency to it. I found the romance arc heart-warming with Martian Manhunter as well. All in all, I found A Crisis of Two Earths excellent. 8/10 Bethany Cox
