Review of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (2010) by Michael G — 24 Feb 2010

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is decent enough but nothing to flip out over. The action is pretty wild (great, great fight scenes) and the story is decent enough, but despite this concept has been around the DC universe forever I just felt like I was watching a watered-down version of the Star Trek episode with the goateed Spock.

(And yes, I know the name of the episode but at risk of sounding like a t o t a l geek I are not utter its name.) A lot of the characters were underused and/or underdeveloped. Superman was a conventionally traditional candyass and The Green Lantern got nowhere nearly enough play.

Batman was weak as hell and the whole confrontation between he and his evil counterpart didn't build up to much of anything. You know you're in trouble when the strongest character is a good version of Lex Luthor.

The voices were kind of lame and static (William Baldwin as Batman!? Really!?) as the overall execution was. But in the plus column that Spectre bonus cartoon ruled...
