The next movie in this specific continuity is Justice League: Doom. They also assembled the entire voice cast from Justice League Unlimited (except green lantern) to reprise their roles.
@@matthewcronin2325 You got that right Justice League Doom is the sequel to this movie. Star Sapphire also has the same voice actor from the Justice League series.
FUN FACT:S This movie was initially supposed to be the the link film between the TV series JUSTICE LEAGUE and JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED, but scheduling pushed back its release. It was written by 'late the late, great' Dwayne McDuffie. His rye sense of humor is all over the script. At the New York premiere James Woods, praised Dwayne for his writing at the after party. "Pants."
@@mzwethu3805 nah the best line is from the dark knight returns "this isn't a mudhole this is an operating table,and Im the surgeon" proceeds to break the guys arms and legs.
James Woods is known for his incredibly energetic and charismatic voice work, however he realy nailed Owlman's cold, calculated and restrained voice in this film. What great range.
@@TomVCunningham i think he should stop that anger and do more films. It’s been too long. I don’t care about his politics the man was an awesome actor.
If I remember correctly, this movie was originally proposed as a movie to connect the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoon series, but instead became a stand alone movie. Explains how the League grows between the two series, how wonder woman gets the invisible jet, the core League members, ect.
Yup, it was designed to take place within the DCAU, before it became its own thing. It’s definitely clear, given the introductions to stuff like Wonder Woman’s invisible jet & teleporters, and the ending that has the JL deciding to expand their ranks; all things that became the norm in JLU.
Hal being there could also be attributed to John Stewart needing to take a break after the end of Justice League. (Though Hal hasn't been properly introduced in the DCAU by then so who knows what the original script of this movie actually looked like.)
That also explains the roster of the JL. Hal taking over because John is taking a break after Starcrossed, and Hawkgirl also not around after leaving the team in the same movie/episode
@@marcodabatman actually, I think it's been explained that Hal Jordan never became a Green Lantern in the DCAU. He did exist, but not as a Green Lantern. I think they switched to Hal for the movie to try and remove it from the DCAU continuity and make it a stand alone.
This was written by the incomparable Dwayne McDuffie (who also was the writing genius behind Justice League, JLU, The Milestone Universe and so many other comics). It was originally to be the interstitial between the end of Justice League Star Crossed and the beginning of Justice League Unlimited. But, it was held back and converted into a direct to video. The reason why it has so much fleshed is because it has the weight of the Timmverse behind it. It's such a great film and the cast is top notch.
McDuffie was a brilliant writer, but I can't let the Earth 2 diss pass. This was a very broad adaptation, missing several cool points I really liked, like revealing more about the Crime Syndicators, like Ultraman's backwards origin- Astronaut Clark Kent altered by aliens into a super and driven mad by the experience - or how Johnny Quick and Power Ring differ from their Earth 1 counterparts. That said, McDuffie making Superwoman a Mary Marvel counterpart instead of a WW was a stroke of genius.
@yermatedave4930 well in all fairness the movie was barely an hour so it would've been interesting trying to explain those orgins and if I remember correctly..this was originally supposed to be a JLU episode but the show was canceled
Agreed very unsatisfying ending. “Some worlds are destined to be bad.” Shit alright lets go home then. Least we got a martian manhunter ultra-man fight out of it
@@Jason5818UI Oh, I don't disagree - it would've been very tough to fit in all the needed exposition without killing the pacing. If it *had* been a multi-part JL/JLU episode, the extra runtime might've given them the opportunity for some nice character moments. If I even get my hands on Luthor's dimension hopper, I'll be sure to check 😉
So glad to see y’all appreciate this film! From the animation to especially the writing. A shame no multipleverse films have gotten close to this one(except spiderverse lol)
“There is a difference between you and me. We both looked into the abyss. But when it looked back at us…you blinked.” - Batman Probably one of my top 3 favorite Batman quotes ever. Also I NEED the new DCU Batman to drop a line like this at some point. Something that’ll make the audience clap and cheer
So glad y’all are watching these as I love these films so much! You should definitely watch Justice League Doom, The New Frontier, GL First Flight, Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, Mask of the Phantasm, All Star Superman etc!!
I HAVE SO MUCH NOSTALGIA FOR THIS ONE. What a treat to compare it to our current multiverse movies. Owl man in this is one of my fav one of villans ever
Mark Harmon is always the boyscott and that's always been his trademark when it comes to playing characters for example NCIS. Gina Torres as Superwoman just awesome. She plays the femme Fatale part so well and seeing her getting under Batman's skin are my favorite moments for the character.
I love watching people discover great content for the first time! An older lady at a gas station near me is watching the MCU movies for the first time with her grand daughter. So awesome! I told her that I am so jealous for the trip she is about to go on!
"For what I gathered, we're pretty much alike. Everything about you tells the tale. Your attitude, your costume, your tactics. They all scream of outrage, despair, vengeance. What terrible wrong was done to set you on this path? It doesn't really matter, nothing matters." - Owlman🦉
Even though you guys said you were gonna continue these movies, I was low key worried you would change your minds. Glad I was wrong. Looking forward to all of them to come.
This is genuinely one of the best dc animated movies that that’s ever been created it’s so good I can’t wait for other reactions trouble in Tokyo justice league vs the fatal five and more
@@Allmenshouldrespectallwomen From your profile picture: Dont you are a grown ass woman to be hating on people for liking animated movies? stop being such a boring human being and enjoy some entertainment that has no age limit.

@@millasboo We have very different definitions of great. I'd rather not watch Batman and Wonder Woman attack a minor in public then forcibly abduct her from her only living relative (supposedly their friend) ever again, thanks. It was absolutely disgusting. Also, for what was supposed to be a Supergirl movie, we get damn little insight into her character or feeling for her motivations. How does she feel at almost any point in this story while she's getting moved around by stronger personalities? What did Darkseid do toher to turn her? It's a mess of a movie based on a mess of a comic story that just forced plot developments to get to the "kewl" bits.
@@dupersuper1938 piss off loser the superman/batman apocalypse was dope it was edgy it was action packed badass not to mention the best animated portrayal of supergirl since she is hot in it and also the good old badass portrayal of Darkseid that guy was owning everyone in the end loved it. You should get your head outta yo butt and get back to reality buddy. Wonder woman and batman did the most realistic and badass things in the movie they were right to take supergirl away since she was unstable around humans . Your irl existence is disgusting you should get your keys without the e
YES! This is one of my favourites aside from dark knight returns. Owl man is one of the hidden gems of Batman/league villains, and this movie is near perfect in its characterisation, visuals and audio, and managed to make a multiverse film with virtually no plot holes or flawed ideas, something that most multiverse or big universe type films often fail to do(particularly nowadays). Love this film and love your reaction!
Superwoman and her Made Men are evil versions of the Marvel Family. Superwoman is Mary Marvel, and the rest are Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr and Uncle Marvel.
As a little kid about to start middle school, I remember this movie became my gateway into my love for comics and the concept of the multiverse. Now years later, knowing that owlman is actually a version of Thomas Wayne, makes re watching the final fight even more personal.
This version of evil Superman being just a straight up New York mob boss, complete with accent, is ngl, my favorite part of the movie. That, and Luthor's disappointment at having to put pants back on bc same.
Fun fact: this movie was supposed to be a bridge between the original run of the Justice League show and Justice League Unlimited, as in the latter show there's a sudden influx of numerous superheroes. The construction of the Watchtower in this movie is further proof of this as in the finale of the original show, the first Watchtower gets destroyed during the Thanagarian invasion. The character designs too look a bit like the DCAU. I guess because of budget reasons or something this movie got pushed back and by the time they got round to making it, the DCAU had already ended. That's why we have a brand new voice cast and altered plot and designs to sever ties with the old shows. Even the people involved aren't the same as the ones who worked on the shows.
I am 💯 enjoying these reactions to these animated DC movies. I feel like the DC animated movies are done so well!! Much love from Prince Edward Island Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️
Fave Justice League movie. The way they show their teamwork AND their individual strengths was great. I felt like all of that was portrayed properly. Batman doesn't have plot-armor, actually loses and still gets his moment, Superman is actually the leader and is a proper combination of strength and power, Wonder woman is portrayed as an actual strong woman and not as a b*tch (I actually like her fights the best) and the rest of the league shines on their own fights. I think having Crime Syndicate as an enemy instead of a faceless army w/c we've seen so many times before was also brilliant.
The DC animation has for many years been such a gem, it’s a shame the DCEU/DCU has never tried to follow their example. Thank you John and Mr Coy for such an enthusiastic reaction👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾☺️😎
This, Red Hood, and Justice League Doom were my prime DC Animated movies. The 2 Batman/Superman movies are really solid too, I forget if Public Enemies is 1 or 2
This is one of the favorites! It's also back when Superman was actually seen and acknowledged as the Justice League's rightful leader and still should be now.
It was a sibling quarrel between Owlman & Batman since in a comic issue, Owlman which is named Thomas Wayne Jr. was said to be the older brother to Bruce Wayne in and that the entire Wayne family including Bruce except for Thomas Jr.
Also something you gotta keep in mind that in that final fight between Owlman and Batman. Not only is Owlman wearing a powered exosuit that makes him stronger and faster but Batman is fighting with a broken rib AND still won.
as amazing as this movie is, Martian Manhunter being like “i like you, lemme mind meld and show you a bunch of death and destruction so we can get closer” is fucking insane
I've been subscribed to this channel now for well over a year, maybe 2 years+. But this series of DC Animated film reactions over the past few months have been the most fun and most looked forward to videos I've seen from this channel. Can't say enough how much I love these reactions and look forward to each one. Very much looking forward to The Long Halloween up next. So GOOD!! Much love Coy and John. (And you too, Greg!)
This was my favorite animated flick from DC set outside the DCAMU. Glad you guys reviewed this one! Plus i'm guessing it's not but in my head cannon I used to imagine this film set in the same universe as Young Justice because of the similar art styles.
This movie was actually suppose to be in the animated universe, with the old justice league cartoon. I think something happened with the scheduling and etc. Along with Justice League Doom that was suppose to set in the universe and I think since they kept coming out with solo projects like this, they ended up making another DCAU which was the one you guys watched Justice league Dark: apocalypse war and that universe. Feel free to check, cause I might be wrong abt one of the movie but I know that one of them was suppose to set in that whole universe with the justice league cartoon show.
Justice League: Doom was never supposed to be set in the DCAU. It became a direct sequel to Crisis on Two Earths and Crisis on Two Earths was supposed to be the bridge as a movie to Unlimited when it was called Worlds Collide.
I hadn't thought of it but yeah it's funny how this movie and even some episodes of JL Unlimited did a lot of the things we've come to expect from multiverse films and also doing it really well, and did it SEVERAL years before it became the new "popular thing"
Yeah, they’re still ranks as one of my top DC animated movies. Wonderful characterizations, amazing sound design and I love the hand drawn animation style.
@@rolandspears4595They changed it in the movie to a Mary Marvel analogue. The reason why was to explain how her Made Men are the Marvel Family since it’s explained that the Made Men are given powers by the Crime Syndicate. The post-Crisis Superwoman is typically an amalgamation of Wonder Woman as an Amazon and Lois Lane since her alias is Lois Lane.
As morbid as it sounds I love how Owlmans idea of nothing matters comes back around in the end. When he's teleported to the ice planet it doesn't matter what he does. Whether he let's the bomb blow up or not he will die regardless. If you really think about it earth prime would of already been destroyed by one of the infinite other people like him but either due to some cosmic force stopping it or the multiverse being reformed after being destroyed it all starts over anyway only proving his point that nothing matters. If nothing matters though then anything CAN matter. It's your choice to give meaning to everything. Not because it has to be, but because you choose it to be.
12:06 No they’re not Kryptonians they’re a reference to the original Shazam family that later got intergraded into another universe called earth S. This came from the silver /golden days from the 70’s/60’s.
I wonder if this realitys version of Vandal Savage, Go's by the name Randall Salvage. Desideing to step in recover and build on what the Crime Sidicate and other badguys left behind down thrugh history.
I watched this movie so much when I was younger! I think I intentionally forget how it goes every time I watch it so I can be surprised and get that feeling I had as a kid watching it.
The cast in this film is just incredible: Chris Noth as Lex Luthor of Earth 2. William Baldwin as Batman of Earth 1. Jonathan Adams from Bones and Last Man Standing as J'onn J'onzz aka Martian Manhunter. James Woods as Owlman and his voice tells preciseness, calculation etc. Brian Bloom from A-Team film as Ultraman Gina Torres of course can do no wrong as Superwoman. Josh Keaton as Barry Allen/The Flash with the quick wit, smart talk always great. Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman aka Hera Syndulla from Rebels.
There is so many lines and animation details in this movie that's just so good. This one is such an underrated one, excited to see more of you guys' reaction on other dc animated movies!
I like how Coy is starting to conenct more with animation because of stuff like this. This one is one of my favourites from DC, and I agree,one of my favourite Justice League things, hard stop. There's nothing I would complain about that this movie did. I would have liked maybe a bit more about the new League members at the end, maybe more time with Jester, but everything the movie actually did with the characters was great
8:20 @reelrejects the character who blasted Superman isn’t a version of static shock he’s a superhero named vibe he breakdances to use his powers. The only version that doesn’t breakdance to use his powers is the cw version of vibe. I hope this info helps.
A big part of this film for DC fans is recognising all the heroes turned into their evil counterparts. Owlman's gang is made up of the Outsiders and some of the 1980s Justice League members like Vibe.
(At 30:30) No he's not. Batman knows what will happen to him if he does that. After all, before Barry Allen came back to life, this IS how he died, originally.
Also keep in mind that Batman was at a huge disadvantage to owl man in their matchup. Owl man was cybernetically enhanced (that’s how he could fist fight Wonder Woman), and Batman also had a broken rib.
The made men that are under superwoman are alternate versions of Captain Marvel, Cpt. Marvel Jr, and Uncle Marvel. Their costumes resemble superwoman because they are her 3 top lieutenants.
Not sure if it's been said yet but Owlman was Batman's brother and Superwoman is Lois Lane. Aaand I believe Owlman though that it doesn't matter if he aborts the bomb because his decision has already made an alternate world where he survived.
Hey Coy and John, I enjoyed watching your reactions to the DCAMU! I really hope you start the “Tomorrowverse” it starts with Superman: Man of Tomorrow and it includes Batman: the Long Halloween (Parts 1&2). I really am enjoying these reactions. I am starting the “Tomorrowverse” as well, would love to see y’all join the adventure!
it's so cool that Bruce Davison aka Senator Robert Kelly from X-Men films (X1 and X2 Mystique disguised) voices Slade Wilson of Earth 2 and he is the president of the US lol.

James Woods as Owlman was perfect, he always gives me chills with his Nihilistic views and I love that his own team was like dude wtf lol
Easily one of the best animated movies. Looks good, powers are accurate, my favorite character flash got done justice. This was great
Just such an amazing performance from James Woods as Owlman, he truly kept it cool to the very end.
The early DC animated movies were the best. Fantastic writing and very high quality animation and music. Bruce Timm produced them until the DCAMU
Mark Harmon is always the boyscott and that's always been his trademark when it comes to playing characters for example NCIS. Gina Torres as Superwoman just awesome. She plays the femme Fatale part so well and seeing her getting under Batman's skin are my favorite moments for the character.

It was a sibling quarrel between Owlman & Batman since in a comic issue, Owlman which is named Thomas Wayne Jr. was said to be the older brother to Bruce Wayne in and that the entire Wayne family including Bruce except for Thomas Jr.
Also something you gotta keep in mind that in that final fight between Owlman and Batman. Not only is Owlman wearing a powered exosuit that makes him stronger and faster but Batman is fighting with a broken rib AND still won.
as amazing as this movie is, Martian Manhunter being like “i like you, lemme mind meld and show you a bunch of death and destruction so we can get closer” is fucking insane
I've been subscribed to this channel now for well over a year, maybe 2 years+. But this series of DC Animated film reactions over the past few months have been the most fun and most looked forward to videos I've seen from this channel. Can't say enough how much I love these reactions and look forward to each one. Very much looking forward to The Long Halloween up next. So GOOD!! Much love Coy and John. (And you too, Greg!)
This was my favorite animated flick from DC set outside the DCAMU. Glad you guys reviewed this one!
Plus i'm guessing it's not but in my head cannon I used to imagine this film set in the same universe as Young Justice because of the similar art styles.
This movie was actually suppose to be in the animated universe, with the old justice league cartoon. I think something happened with the scheduling and etc. Along with Justice League Doom that was suppose to set in the universe and I think since they kept coming out with solo projects like this, they ended up making another DCAU which was the one you guys watched Justice league Dark: apocalypse war and that universe. Feel free to check, cause I might be wrong abt one of the movie but I know that one of them was suppose to set in that whole universe with the justice league cartoon show.
Justice League: Doom was never supposed to be set in the DCAU. It became a direct sequel to Crisis on Two Earths and Crisis on Two Earths was supposed to be the bridge as a movie to Unlimited when it was called Worlds Collide.
@@DanV900 that’s what I said 😂, old justice league cartoon
The opening title song gives me chills every fucking time. Justice League theme is goated and this particular version is sick
I hadn't thought of it but yeah it's funny how this movie and even some episodes of JL Unlimited did a lot of the things we've come to expect from multiverse films and also doing it really well, and did it SEVERAL years before it became the new "popular thing"
Yeah, they’re still ranks as one of my top DC animated movies. Wonderful characterizations, amazing sound design and I love the hand drawn animation style.
For some reason I’m super stoked you both liked this one. I absolutely love this movie. It has a special place in my heart
Superwoman is actually the parallel version of Mary Marvel and her Made Men are the Marvel Family.
Your half right the made men are Shazam analogs but superwoman is not Mary marvel but actually is wonder woman
@@rolandspears4595 nope. She is Mary Marvel.
@RetroRobotRadio you obviously haven't read many comics superwoman is a wonder woman analog
@@rolandspears4595They changed it in the movie to a Mary Marvel analogue. The reason why was to explain how her Made Men are the Marvel Family since it’s explained that the Made Men are given powers by the Crime Syndicate. The post-Crisis Superwoman is typically an amalgamation of Wonder Woman as an Amazon and Lois Lane since her alias is Lois Lane.
As morbid as it sounds I love how Owlmans idea of nothing matters comes back around in the end. When he's teleported to the ice planet it doesn't matter what he does. Whether he let's the bomb blow up or not he will die regardless.
If you really think about it earth prime would of already been destroyed by one of the infinite other people like him but either due to some cosmic force stopping it or the multiverse being reformed after being destroyed it all starts over anyway only proving his point that nothing matters.
If nothing matters though then anything CAN matter. It's your choice to give meaning to everything. Not because it has to be, but because you choose it to be.
To me this is one of the peaks of DC’s animated films. Glad you two got to watch it!
Its literally impossible for these guys to miss
That opening credit music and graphics was so amazing.
12:06 No they’re not Kryptonians they’re a reference to the original Shazam family that later got intergraded into another universe called earth S. This came from the silver /golden days from the 70’s/60’s.
I wonder if this realitys version of Vandal Savage, Go's by the name Randall Salvage. Desideing to step in recover and build on what the Crime Sidicate and other badguys left behind down thrugh history.
I watched this movie so much when I was younger! I think I intentionally forget how it goes every time I watch it so I can be surprised and get that feeling I had as a kid watching it.
Great Reaction Coy and John, This movie was so cool and great to watch! 👍
The cast in this film is just incredible:
Chris Noth as Lex Luthor of Earth 2.
William Baldwin as Batman of Earth 1.
Jonathan Adams from Bones and Last Man Standing as J'onn J'onzz aka Martian Manhunter.
James Woods as Owlman and his voice tells preciseness, calculation etc.
Brian Bloom from A-Team film as Ultraman
Gina Torres of course can do no wrong as Superwoman.
Josh Keaton as Barry Allen/The Flash with the quick wit, smart talk always great.
Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman aka Hera Syndulla from Rebels.
Don't forget Mark Harmon as Superman.
@@jrcarter9175 I mentioned Mark Harmon already if you check the other comments. Outside of this thread.
Thank you guys for re-watching that it really brought me back it was so good!!!!
10:29 He actually can… he’s just slower doing it. He can run on clouds and if needed rotate his arms to generate wind funnels to fly with
There is so many lines and animation details in this movie that's just so good. This one is such an underrated one, excited to see more of you guys' reaction on other dc animated movies!
Hi! Greetings from a Italian fan! The DCAMU doesn't end With APOKALYPSE WAR but With DC Showcase: Constantine - The House of Mystery!
I like how Coy is starting to conenct more with animation because of stuff like this. This one is one of my favourites from DC, and I agree,one of my favourite Justice League things, hard stop. There's nothing I would complain about that this movie did. I would have liked maybe a bit more about the new League members at the end, maybe more time with Jester, but everything the movie actually did with the characters was great
Love this film. Will you be going back over the older films before starting the new rebooted animated universe?
I just recently rewatched this movie. Im so grateful to watch this is as a kid so entertaining and hype
It's amazing what great writing, casting, effort and passion can accomplish. Modern movies could learn a million things from this movie.
This is the only DC animated stuff I saw when I was a kid (other than the Adam West stuff which I watched on repeat on DVD), and I loved it
8:20 @reelrejects the character who blasted Superman isn’t a version of static shock he’s a superhero named vibe he breakdances to use his powers. The only version that doesn’t breakdance to use his powers is the cw version of vibe. I hope this info helps.
A big part of this film for DC fans is recognising all the heroes turned into their evil counterparts. Owlman's gang is made up of the Outsiders and some of the 1980s Justice League members like Vibe.
(At 30:30) No he's not. Batman knows what will happen to him if he does that. After all, before Barry Allen came back to life, this IS how he died, originally.
Superwoman, Uncle Super, Captain Super and Super Jr. are Made-Men counterparts of the Marvel Family.
I never realized that
This movie is worthy of a live action adaptation it’s such a good story
Problem with most live adaptations is they always go into another direction
@@Jason5818UI Agreed
@@Jason5818UI Just hope they do something like Sandman respecting the original story at 100%. This one is really worthy
Because you don't take cartoons seriously and inherently believe they are worth less than things with actors.
@@CatBitchNami That's...not what they said.
Also keep in mind that Batman was at a huge disadvantage to owl man in their matchup. Owl man was cybernetically enhanced (that’s how he could fist fight Wonder Woman), and Batman also had a broken rib.
The made men that are under superwoman are alternate versions of Captain Marvel, Cpt. Marvel Jr, and Uncle Marvel.
Their costumes resemble superwoman because they are her 3 top lieutenants.
“My personal computer” I haven’t heard that in years 😂❤
Not sure if it's been said yet but Owlman was Batman's brother and Superwoman is Lois Lane. Aaand I believe Owlman though that it doesn't matter if he aborts the bomb because his decision has already made an alternate world where he survived.
Back when dc animated films weren’t cutting corners and characters looked different from another. Solid animation through and through.
This is genuinely probably one of my favorite pieces of DC media ever. It’s just so cool!
Hey Coy and John, I enjoyed watching your reactions to the DCAMU! I really hope you start the “Tomorrowverse” it starts with Superman: Man of Tomorrow and it includes Batman: the Long Halloween (Parts 1&2). I really am enjoying these reactions. I am starting the “Tomorrowverse” as well, would love to see y’all join the adventure!
The next reaction dropping is The Long Halloween Part 1 next weekend.
You guys are the best, I couldn't be happier than this.
Also don't forget about Batman the long Halloween ❤
this movie really felt like it knew the characters truly especially for the time it was made
it's so cool that Bruce Davison aka Senator Robert Kelly from X-Men films (X1 and X2 Mystique disguised) voices Slade Wilson of Earth 2 and he is the president of the US lol.
Those Maid Men are evil counterparts of the Shazam Family 11:25
(At 17:47) Slade "Deathstroke" Wilson… is the President of United States?! When and how did that happen?
I was first introduced to Owl Man in the Lego DC Supervillains game. This is one of the many DCAU movies I missed.
This is perhaps THE best of all the DC animations
"With my luck, she'll be evil"
I mean, thats Rose Wilson, the Ravager Hahaha
34:44 Crypt Keeper lol 😂😂😂 y’all ate something else
• Bruce Wayne is Batman
• Thomas Wayne Jr. is Owlman
