Review of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (2010) by Dean M — 13 Sep 2010

The level of detail in the artwork is maintained consistently and looks similar to the style of Green Lantern: First Flight and 2007's Wonder Woman; though one or two scenes could have been done better (for example, some scenes where walls are smashed. The part of the wall to be broken is obviously colored differently from the rest of the wall). Co-directors Lauren Montgomery and Sam Liu combine their talents to bring out the best in every scene from the subtle drama to the hard hitting fights.

Dwayne McDuffie did a great job writing the scenario for this film. Although similar stories have been used in previous comics/animated films, he still manages to make it unique in appearance. Although everyone likes seeing hero's go toe-to-toe with their own alternative (evil) selves. But this film adds more than just "twin on evil twin" action.

One last note - the voice acting here was surprisingly good. It's tricky not having the standard voices for Superman/Batman (I found out about the voice of Batman is not as Kevin Conroy), but William Baldwin actually didn't do too bad, and same for Mark Harmon. Best of all were Gina Torres as the femme fatale in Superwoman, and James Woods dialing down his usual hammy bad-guy acting for Owlman, who sounds so cerebral one wonders why he has that big suit of armour.
