Revision as of 18:41, 27 February 2010
Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths is the seventh direct-to-video animated film of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line released by Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Animation.
History
The film involves the Justice League facing their alternate universe counterparts, the Crime Syndicate. Originally, the film was intended to be part of the DCAU under the title, Justice League: World's Collide, however the story has been subsequently re-written so that is a stand-alone film in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies line.
Among the cast are DCAU veterans Gina Torres as Super Woman and Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman. Marshall was one of two final options for the voice of Wonder Woman in Justice League but lost to Susan Eisenberg; this weighed in on her casting.
DCAU elements
Justice League: World's Collide was reportedly intended to tie-in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited together.[1] Despite a heavy rewrite, Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths still contains some elements that bridge the gap between the series finale of Justice League and the revamping of the show:
- Hawkgirl is inexplicably absent (after her defection in "Starcrossed, Part III") even though the Crime Syndicate has a parallel version of hers;
- The League is assembling a new Watchtower following the destruction of the original in "Starcrossed;"
- They have also just finished building and testing the teleporter;
- Wonder Woman keeps Owlman's jet and leaves it on stealth mode. It is almost identical in appearance to the version she used in Justice League Unlimited;
- Batman brings in Aquaman, Black Canary, Red Tornado, and Firestorm to fight Superwoman and company aboard the Watchtower. This prompts him to expand the team.
Footnotes

“ Worlds Collide was going to bridge Seasons Two and Three; besides the origin of the Invisible Jet, it also set up the entire super-sized JLU concept. I don't wanna say anymore about it, just in case it ever does get made (there's still a chance, albeit a slim one at the moment, seemingly). ” — Bruce Timm (circa 2005)
