To save our world and all those like it, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Martian Manhunter face off against their evil mirror images in Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, the seventh entry in the successful ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original PG-13 movies, coming February 23, 2010 from Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation. The full-length animated film will be distributed by Warner Home Video as a Special Edition 2-disc version on DVD and Blu-Ray Hi-Def, as well as single disc DVD. The film will also be available On Demand and Download.

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is an original story from award-winning animation/comics writer Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League comics series) 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 is co-director with Sam Liu.

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 (the evil counterpart to Batman), puts the balance of all existence in peril.

The movie features an all-star voice cast led by Mark Harmon as Superman, James Woods as Owlman, Chris Noth as Lex Luthor, William Baldwin as Batman, Gina Torres as Superwoman and Bruce Davison as the President of the U.S.

Justice_02_091202_350wJustice League: Crisis on Two Earths – 2 Disc Special Edition versions will have more than three hours of bonus materials, including all the great extras from the 2-disc Special Edition and two additional episodes from Justice League Unlimited, both personally selected by fan-favorite Bruce Timm, plus television pilot episodes from the DC live-action shows: Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

The movie takes its cues from writer Grant Morrison’s recent JLA: Earth 2 graphic novel of a few years and decades of DC crisis tales that began with the Justice League of America comics in the “silver age” of the 1960s. Check things out things here.

Warner/DC’s most recent animated releases were Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and Green Lantern: First Flight.
