Owlman could so easily be an over the top character: instead, Woods underplays him to the extent that his lack of histrionics is far more chilling than a more flamboyant display would have been. Voice casting isn't bad, with James Woods' Owlman taking the top award. Which seems a bit much to me, but then I'm not a nutjob super-villain.Ĭharacter design and animation are about what one would expect for this kind of animated feature. That's about it for plot, other than that Owlman, the evil Batman equivalent, is so nihilistic that he becomes driven by the notion that by eliminating the original earth, he can eliminate all of them and commit a kind of suicide which involves destroying all reality. The late Dwayne McDuffie does a decent job scripting this animated movie, a variation on one of the early Gardner Fox / Mike Sekowsky JLA Crisis stories, whereby our familiar heroes are called upon to battle their evil doppelgangers on a parallel earth.

I found the romance arc heart-warming with Martian Manhunter as well. ![]() 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. The animation is atmospheric and detailed with some funky character designs like with Wonder Woman and the music is haunting. The best are Gina Torres, who gives Superwoman a great femme-fatale edge, and especially James Woods, whose Owlman is just superb. I think Chris Noth brings a great deal of heroism to Lex Luthor, and while underused Nolan North is both heroic and sinister. However, most of the voice acting is great. My other reservation was Superman and Luthor's relationship which I think could have been expanded more. ![]() Mark Harmon is also too monotone for Superman. ![]() William Baldwin does what he can, but lacks the mystery and darkness of what I associate Batman with. My only real reservations actually was two members of the voice cast. I did enjoy Justice League: New Frontier, but between this and that, I consider this the slightly better movie.
