One of my favorite details is that despite Star Sapphire having a grudge against Green Lantern, her plan doesn't actually involve him dying. It shows that Carol on some level still cares about Hal.
Does it? There are so many instances in media about how death is a mercy. “Putting someone out of their misery” kind of thing. I’d argue that by allowing him to live but be in constant moral agony makes her the most sadistic of the Legion and shows just how much she despises him. Contrary to that, the fact that Hal IS in agony over the “loss” of this other “Carol” who reminds him of his Carol, shows us just how much he regrets whatever he did to her and how much it probably weighs on him. The fact that Star Sapphire CAN’T see that is what I find truly heartbreaking.
Originally this story is based on the comic Justice League Babel. Some things were different such as it being Ra's Al Ghul as the main villain, Flash was hit in the spine with a vibrating bullet that caused him to have seizures at super speed, Aquaman was given hydrophobia and some other changes to the story. Also, this movie had nothing to do with the crisis on two earth's. This was also another stand alone movie.
This was actually a sequel to Crisis on Two Earths. They just brought back the animated series cast and there is literally footage from Crisis on Two Earths in the opening. Dwayne McDuffie wrote both movies as well.
@@DanV900 its got different feel to it in terms of characters. At least it does for the Flash. The crisis on two earth's Flash had Wally's personality, but the Doom Flash was shown to be Barry Allen.
I don’t like that line, it’s not like the league together can’t take out any individual member Dave maybe Superman, even then just get a green rock we all know Batman has a surplus of and it’s fine. Just makes the other plans redundant.
This is definitely one of my favorite DC animated films. I know you guys don't want to do tv series, but I'm gonna keep plugging Young Justice on here because I really think you'd enjoy it. It has one of the best Dick Graysons I've seen on screen and season 2 is one of the first on screen adaptations of Jaime Reyes blue beetle.
Maybe, but there are several problems: He didn't tell the other he had them, he exploited their trust to make them, and he didn't properly secure them. Not to mention, he decided to do it unilaterally.
@@ThePenpachiNot really. He didn't need to tell them the details, but he could have informed them about the plans themselves existing. They would have at least agreed on the principle of why they were needed and not pried into how they worked.
@@parkerboy795 Either way of turning sides, voluntary or not, that knowledge will then would make Batman a priority and the approach would be met with extreme caution. Would be extremely difficult to lay a trap for someone expecting it which Batman’s plans relied on. It’s not like the methods in which these contingencies relied upon were just boldfaced confrontations. It’s like launching a surprise attack from behind someone while yelling, “Surprise!”
Not only do I love rewatching these movies and supporting my favorite channel, but Coy and John have such a great chemistry and play well off each other. They're clearly enjoying doing this and it shows, which makes it so much more entertaining to watch. One of the best parts of my Sundays. Thanks, guys! And shoutout to Coy's arms.
One of my favorite episodes in Justice League Unlimited is the "The Great Brain Robbery" where Rosenbaum's Wally West switches minds with Brown's Lex Luthor. Just seeing both actors imitating the other is just hilarious. Rosenbaum when interviewing Brown in Inside of You podcast said it was their favorite episode.
Funniest part of that ep was lex as the flash looking in the mirror while unmasked saying i have no idea who this is (dunno if it was the correct line but it was still funny)
I appreciate Coy referencing the first arc of Zdarsky’s run called Failsafe which is fantastic with the robot being Batman’s contingency plan for himself.
The Superman/Batman movies are really worth checking out, Public Enemies and Apocalypse. I don't think they're really related, their artstyles are completely different, but they're both a really good time.
Based off the superman/batman series during the early 00s. I’d say though the art was different. They are the same supes and bats. The art is similar to their comic book source material. That book series had different artists showcase their styles. So I appreciate how they did that for the movies as well.
@@lx130for reallllll, they nailed both Ed McGuiness and Michael Turner's art, it made the decisions behind the art for Killing Joke completely baffling to me.
This movie has the best voice cast for the League - all the DCAU JL voice actors, plus Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan, the best depiction of the character to date. Wish we could have gotten more projects with these seven.
I honestly dont remember much about the plot but I do remember the tone which was sombre and melancholic. And of course that ending which was very touching. It definitely would be interesting to revisit the movie with Coy and John.
You guys should definitely watch Batman: Year One next! Great comic and a really good movie! Bruce Timm from the animated series was even an executive producer on it!
Yes!! You’re finally watching JL Doom!! So glad ur saw this one. It’s one of my favorite movie!! Most of the voice actors from the JL animated series! Love Coy and John DC reactions!! Can’t recall if you guys saw Harley Quinn series on Max
Really love this spin on Tower of Babel. I think the animation is slightly stiff in places, but the voice acting and story make that a minor complaint.
This is a side note, but this and many other movies prior to the DCAMU have a great balance of on screen violence. It’s not so tame that characters can’t be hurt or villains can’t use guns and such, but it’s also not so aggressively violent that is sort of loses its punch or makes it feel like needless gore.
Unfortunately, it kind of misses the point of Tower of Babel. That story was all about Batman's hubris nearly destroying the League, and the consequences he and the League suffer for it. Batman's family of heroes face paranoia for a long time from other heroes, because of what he did. Even Barbara Gordon tells him "hey, you screwed up" And later on, Bruce himself even admits that he could have told the League "hey, we need contingencies, we need to be ready for the worst" instead of trusting only himself with that. The movie? Not only does it have Batman save everyone's asses, it treats him like he's right even when he's wrong.
@@MrImastinker I see your point but it only misses the point if they wanted a direct adaptation/translation. It seems like they didn't intend for that, since it pretty clearly sides with Batman. It's just a different story that uses some ideas from Tower of Babel.
One of the many reasons Batman is my all time favorite superhero is that he (unlike the other core members) can clearly see how dangerous that the Justice League can be. How any of them can either willingly, be forced under duress, or under mind control, can cause as much pain and suffering as any of the many villains they fight. He can see how even heroes need to be kept in check. There is actually a scene in one of the Justice League comics where after Batman comes to trust Superman completely, takes him to the batcave and shows him these boxes he has locked in a safe that contain either the weapons, technology or plans needed to incapacitate any or all members of the Justice League. But when he shows Clark Wonder Woman’s container he opens it to sho it is empty. Meaning even the smartest and most devious tactician and strategist in the world can’t find a true weakness for Diana.
@thedarkknight2221 well not entirely correct. Superman is as vulnerable to magic as The Flash is, or Batman, or Martian Manhunter, or any person. Green Kryptonite is a material weakness that only negatively affects him and other Kryptonians. Mght sound pedantic, but that is correct. Beside that, of course an enchanted weapon will cut him like a regular blade would a human, but Diana can't overpower him, which is where he will always have the edge.
@@RV-vx9ek true he has the strength advantage but she’s fought plenty of enemies stronger than her before, and she has a massive advantage over Superman in that she has thousands of years of combat experience and training with some of the greatest warriors that ever lived. Clark is not a fighter by nature, he has no technique, it’s why Batman almost always kicks his ass.
So glad that y'all talked, if briefly, about Dwayne McDuffie, who, in my opinion, arguably understood characters better than pretty much any other writer, at the very least in animation. Pretty much everything he touched turned to gold, and he was gone far too soon.
This is one of my favorites. The original JL cast was not the only one that came back in this, but the voice actors of Vandal Savage and Mirror Master were part of the DCAU as well. React to Batman: Year One next.
34:54 in the comics Batman's Contingency plan for himself was a robot he created called Failsafe. It knows all his moves and how he thinks. Unfortunately Failsafe went rogue and tried to kill him
One of my favorite DC Animated Movies and a nice take on the Justice League: Book of Babel story. So fun. When I'm not sure what to watch, this is one of the movies I have on rotation. Also, that kick Batman used to knockout Bane towards the end of the movie is dope!
While you may love Michael Rosenbaum as Luthor, I will admit I knew him as the Flash long before I was introduced to Smallville as Michael was the Flash in both the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated shows.
Doom is one of my favorites, and by far my favorite animation style. This was my first foray into the animated films, I bought it when it was released. That's when I realized how great the animated movies could be. It was wonderful getting the JL animated series voice actors together again.
This is how much energy you guys bring to your reaction. I am working right now and I am watching your reaction with the volume off and I still feel everything you guys are doing. I am impressed good sirs! Kudos lol.
1:09-1:17 Can we just appreciate how perfect of an intro Coy made, especially the part I tagged like that was creative gotta give it to him, even rhymed
This is one of the films I was looking forward to seeing you all react to. This is one of my favorite DC animated films, definitely in my top 5 DC animated films.
This is my favourite DC Originals as it depicts true intelligence of Batman on defeating the most strongest person walking the earth singlehandedly. What could've been happened if he had been on the wrong side?
This movie is one of my absolute favorites! I highly recommend Young Justice, so many characters get fleshed out and I think you guys would love the series
I like and hate this movie. The story is based on the Tower of Babel comic story. In that story the Green lantern was Kyle Rayner who, when not being a hero, was a graphic artist and the counter to him was to put his ring on when he was asleep (Kyle didn't wear it while asleep to prevent it from activating in his sleep) and slipped him a hypnotic suggestion that he was blind which the ring would make real. Superman was dosed with Red Kryptonite which caused his skin to turn transparent and his powers began to go wild. No cyborg, they had Aquaman who was made aquaphobic and was slowly dying because of it, Martian Manhunter makes him think hes in an arid wasteland while he's actually suspended in a saltwater tank while his body processed out the fear toxin. Wonderwoman was put into a coma where she fought virtual battles non-stop which would eventually make her heart just stop from exhaustion. Martian Manhunters elimination plan was basically the same but the answer was a suit filled with an inert fluid that would allow him to function but he had to stay in it until the nanites (it wasn't poison) burned out of his system which kept a heavy hitter out. Plastic man is hit with liquid nitrogen and shattered (contingencies against Plas are VERY hard to make lethal as he's essentially immortal.) Flash is shot with a specialized bullet that makes him have seizures at light speed. The big villain was Ras Al Goul who stole Batmans parent coffins and was moving them around the world to keep batman distracted, he also had a Green Kryptonite sword, just in case. I just wish they'd have adapted the story more faithfully and I'm also sick of Kyle getting the shaft when it comes to movie appearances.
In the Flash tv show, the Trickster (played by Mark Hamill) puts a bomb on Flash and he has to vibrate through something to get it off, just like in this movie. I assume it’s probably from the comics, and not a reference to this.
The one thing about this one I find weird is the artist/designer really really loves ab windows. Nothing wrong with it but a ton of the characters have exposed midriffs with real low rise pants(Jack, King and Cheetah for example) or just straight up ab to V line windows.(Saphire and Baine) It is most noticeable in the lineup of the villains.
Basically Crisis On Two Earths was originally supposed to be an episode of the Justice League TV show and for Doom they brought back alot of the original voice cast from the show. So Kevin Conroy as Batman, Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman, and Carl Lumbly as J’onn. While Michael Rosenbaum who originally voiced Wally West/Flash in the show plays the Barry Allen version here and Tim Daly who voiced Superman in “Superman The Animated Series” reprised his role instead of George Newbern who voiced the character in “Justice League” and “Justice League Unlimited”.
Watch the “A Better World” two-parter from Justice League! It’s great and a multiverse story. Michael Rosenbaum as Wally West is awesome. That show was fantastic.
This movie is an adaption of the JLA: Tower of Babel comic arc from 2000. (JLA #43-46)This was a Mark Waid Justice League story. The movie added a couple of different characters not used in the comic but the general theme is the same.
Wow, i started watching your animated dc reactions two days ago and i said to myself literally yesterday “i wish they would react to JL doom”, what are the chances😂
I see your point but that's not Batmans nature and to be honest, that could cause problems as well..the more ppl that know a thing the greater the chance it will get out and to the enemies of the JL...Think about it, if a enemy mind controlled one member, picked his/her brain and found out, Hey Batman has detailed plans on how to take down the entire league. I mean let's be honest here, Batman most likely has more resistance to mind control than the entire league..he has trained and study just about everything in both the physical and the mental to prepare himself so he would be wary of the other leaguers ability to resist.
@@shootingreal5945 You can't be secretive about that kind of thing on a team. It doesn't work that way. This movie and the comic it's based on already made that happen. And it was because Batman didn't tell the League he had the plans that they were in danger and because he didn't secure them well enough that they were in danger. That's ridiculous. He'd likely controlled just like them. What'd be the contingency for that and no, not the League since its apparently so easy for him to take them down.
@parkerboy795 Well the concept of Batman not securing the plans well enough is laughable but the writers went with that sadly and expect us the viewers to buy it..also Batman being controlled is certainly not the same as Superman or WW or GL. The level of destruction Superman can do mind controlled is unimaginable so I can see why Batman would focus on those leaguers who are like nukes as far as forming plans to stop them.
@@shootingreal5945Except it's not. He's not perfect. In fact, his arrogance and paranoia are on full display in this story. He could have told the League the plans existed without revealing their details. That way their purpose isn't undermined and the League's trust in him isn't fractured. Not to mention, the plans security is already in question considering some of Batman's enemies know who he is and could steal them, which is exactly what happened in the comic. Considering scores of people act like he easily beat the League who they view as gods, it seems like it's at the same level if not even worse. Even then, that still makes him a danger so what's the contingency for him?
This is one of my favorite movies! The way it highlights how deadly Batman could be if he used lethal tactics, considering that his plan was meant to neutralize and not kill. Also love you guys vibe! Super wholesome.
One of the best DC animated films that isn't fully connected to many other films. The only major changes from Tower of Babel source material is Bane-v-Batman and Vandal Savage replaced Ras Al-Guhl stealing Batman's contingency plans.
Mark 18:58? SMG's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" has also had to punch her way out of a buried coffin or casket. Hmm. So, have zombies and vampires, for that matter. 🤔
Cool detail Is that’s the piece of kryptonite from Batman beyond…old Bruce still had it in one of the epic and referenced that Superman gave it to him..same box and everything lol
Doom is okay, much prefer the comic this is based off of. The Tower of Babel story line on the comic is more fleshed out and the villain is Ra’s Al Ghul. Which makes for far compelling arc for him than simply Batman saving the day. I guess this is the one I don’t recommend to people 😂
YESSS I LOVE THAT YOUR KEEPING THIS GOING, don't forget superman man of tomorrow animated movie plz haha also do you ever get burnout from watching so many superhero movies?
This is not based on the current run "fale safe" this is adapted from the "Babel tower" run on the comic who take the Batman's contingency plans is Rash All Gull
As everyone has pointed out in the comments, this is not a sequel to Crisis on Two Earths. It's its own thing, separate from that movie and separate from the Justice League cartoon series. They just got most of the League's voice cast back. Key observation being while this Flash is voiced by Smallville's Lex Luthor, just like the Justice League show does, in this movie Flash is Barry Allen, not Wally West like in JL's show. It's still unclear WHY Wally West is just Barry's replacement in JL, since his name and personality are literally the only things different, Wally's life being Barry's in JL with no mention of Barry ever. Reverse Flash is also absent from the series, the only true reference to him being a nanobot enemy taking on RF's colours in a fight with Flash, him not even acknowledging the appearance at all
I love DC Animated films, but it drives me crazy how Martian Manhunter is done dirty in all of them ! Not just animated but live action too. He's literally the most powerful member of the Justice League, in terms of his range
So with this movie, Michael Rosenbaum has voiced: both Barry & Wally as the Flash; and in one episode of Justice League Unlimited, he voiced Lex Luthor when he and Flash swapped bodies.

Superman/Batman Public Enemies then Superman/Batman Apocalypse.
I didn't know that superman could talk in space
This was the last script Dwayne McDuffie wrote before his passing.
Favorite line is when Superman goes “why don’t I just move the earth” Batman “if we had a week I could list all the reasons that wouldn’t work. 😂
And that is definitely a callback to the old superfriends cartoon where superman does push the earth back into orbit.
The line for batman goes "even if we had a week I couldn't list all the reasons why that won't work"
the first one is, the sun is in a perfect position to not get freezed to death or blasted with radiation.

It’s not her plan, it was Batman’s contingency plan.
@@Kevmaster2000 his plan was to make GL emotionally compromised; it was modified by the Legion to be so cruel
I thought Star just wanted Hal to suffer not die. Not killing Hal doesn’t mean Star Cares for Hal
It’s not as good as Kyle’s blindness. Them using Hal over Kyle and Barry over Wally was a bad move.

I just love how Batman says his contigency IS the Justice League. It's so badass.
That's what he said, in his brain it's something like, "dude I'm just a very rich human"
But this whole movie proved that even if he did go rogue, he could still take down the Justice League. It's a pretty bad plan.
@@Madison-iw8ix Yeah. That kind of killed the logic to his answer for Superman's question.
I don’t like that line, it’s not like the league together can’t take out any individual member Dave maybe Superman, even then just get a green rock we all know Batman has a surplus of and it’s fine. Just makes the other plans redundant.

@@giosbizarreart9048 Agreed with not many exceptions outside of Justice League: Gods and Monsters. Wonder Woman 2009 which is pre-DCAMU is great.
I love the Tower of Babel story. And it has an iconic cover.
Appreciate you guys taking the time to review/react to these classic dc animation movies 🙏🏾
Nathan Fillion kills it with his voice acting here. The emotion when he thinks he killed that innocent woman gets to me every time.
One of Alan Moore's best stories!. That rasputin mofo is really good
Rest in Peace Kevin Conroy the best Batman ever!
This is one of my favorites. The original JL cast was not the only one that came back in this, but the voice actors of Vandal Savage and Mirror Master were part of the DCAU as well.
React to Batman: Year One next.
34:54 in the comics Batman's Contingency plan for himself was a robot he created called Failsafe.
It knows all his moves and how he thinks.
Unfortunately Failsafe went rogue and tried to kill him
23:35 I love the way Coy broke that down 😂😂😂
Omg omg im so happy to see you guys watching this! One of my fave dc animated movies!
One of my favorite DC Animated Movies and a nice take on the Justice League: Book of Babel story. So fun. When I'm not sure what to watch, this is one of the movies I have on rotation. Also, that kick Batman used to knockout Bane towards the end of the movie is dope!
While you may love Michael Rosenbaum as Luthor, I will admit I knew him as the Flash long before I was introduced to Smallville as Michael was the Flash in both the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated shows.
Doom is one of my favorites, and by far my favorite animation style.
This was my first foray into the animated films, I bought it when it was released. That's when I realized how great the animated movies could be.
It was wonderful getting the JL animated series voice actors together again.
This is how much energy you guys bring to your reaction. I am working right now and I am watching your reaction with the volume off and I still feel everything you guys are doing. I am impressed good sirs! Kudos lol.
😃 Simply loved the selection of Rogues chosen to make up the Legion of Doom.
Martian Manhunter's homies didn't even care that he wasn't human, they just wanted to save their bro from burning to death. He's got good friends.
1:09-1:17 Can we just appreciate how perfect of an intro Coy made, especially the part I tagged like that was creative gotta give it to him, even rhymed
The fact that mirror master told flash exactly what he needed to do in order to not explode is INSANE. These villains just defeat themselves.
so glad you guys reacted to this!! it’s one of my favourite DC movies 😁
I like DC a lot. I love Marvel. I really love your reactions. Cartoons are always great. Thanks.
This is one of the films I was looking forward to seeing you all react to. This is one of my favorite DC animated films, definitely in my top 5 DC animated films.
Glad to finally see a reaction to this one! And love the Boston shirt with the Citgo triangle!! ♥️⚾️
This is my favourite DC Originals as it depicts true intelligence of Batman on defeating the most strongest person walking the earth singlehandedly. What could've been happened if he had been on the wrong side?
This movie is one of my absolute favorites! I highly recommend Young Justice, so many characters get fleshed out and I think you guys would love the series
I like and hate this movie.
The story is based on the Tower of Babel comic story. In that story the Green lantern was Kyle Rayner who, when not being a hero, was a graphic artist and the counter to him was to put his ring on when he was asleep (Kyle didn't wear it while asleep to prevent it from activating in his sleep) and slipped him a hypnotic suggestion that he was blind which the ring would make real.
Superman was dosed with Red Kryptonite which caused his skin to turn transparent and his powers began to go wild.
No cyborg, they had Aquaman who was made aquaphobic and was slowly dying because of it, Martian Manhunter makes him think hes in an arid wasteland while he's actually suspended in a saltwater tank while his body processed out the fear toxin.
Wonderwoman was put into a coma where she fought virtual battles non-stop which would eventually make her heart just stop from exhaustion.
Martian Manhunters elimination plan was basically the same but the answer was a suit filled with an inert fluid that would allow him to function but he had to stay in it until the nanites (it wasn't poison) burned out of his system which kept a heavy hitter out.
Plastic man is hit with liquid nitrogen and shattered (contingencies against Plas are VERY hard to make lethal as he's essentially immortal.)
Flash is shot with a specialized bullet that makes him have seizures at light speed.
The big villain was Ras Al Goul who stole Batmans parent coffins and was moving them around the world to keep batman distracted, he also had a Green Kryptonite sword, just in case.
I just wish they'd have adapted the story more faithfully and I'm also sick of Kyle getting the shaft when it comes to movie appearances.
The more I watch their reactions of these dc animated movies , the more I start to think that these films would be perfect blueprints for the DCU
Not gonna lie, Been watching RR for a looong time, You two going through animated DC has been the highlight to date for me. Thank you!
Can we have a comedy hour with John and Coy, cuz these 2 are f'ing killing me.
Awesome!
TeenTitansGo voices actors did the voices of the HighCardGang at the beginning ♠ 🦇🌑🤘
Alexis Denisof's aka Wesley Wyndam Pryce first foray as Mirror Master was in Justice League Unlimited episode "The Flash and Substance".
In the Flash tv show, the Trickster (played by Mark Hamill) puts a bomb on Flash and he has to vibrate through something to get it off, just like in this movie. I assume it’s probably from the comics, and not a reference to this.
19:42 the undisclosed side effect Vandal Savage got from the radiation was that he became Bostonian
Love the intro to this film. Music and all.
The one thing about this one I find weird is the artist/designer really really loves ab windows. Nothing wrong with it but a ton of the characters have exposed midriffs with real low rise pants(Jack, King and Cheetah for example) or just straight up ab to V line windows.(Saphire and Baine) It is most noticeable in the lineup of the villains.
Basically Crisis On Two Earths was originally supposed to be an episode of the Justice League TV show and for Doom they brought back alot of the original voice cast from the show. So Kevin Conroy as Batman, Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman, and Carl Lumbly as J’onn. While Michael Rosenbaum who originally voiced Wally West/Flash in the show plays the Barry Allen version here and Tim Daly who voiced Superman in “Superman The Animated Series” reprised his role instead of George Newbern who voiced the character in “Justice League” and “Justice League Unlimited”.
HOLY *wegotanotherreelrejectsvideo* BATMAN!! 😱😱🔥
You know I like this Robin too much when I read that once through and understood it 😅🤣🤣
Guys have to do Batman and Superman: Public Enemies, one of all time favourite Batman and Superman animated movie.
Michael Rosenbaum did the voice for Flash on the animated show as well plus several other characters
One of my favorite Justice League movies
0:36 oh my bad Coy you right 😂😂😂
Watch the “A Better World” two-parter from Justice League! It’s great and a multiverse story. Michael Rosenbaum as Wally West is awesome. That show was fantastic.
Wait…so you can have an epic ending without fighting 10,000 faceless enemies???? DC’s animated films were ahead of their time!!
“10,000 faceless monster” would be cool too.
The solar flare idea was also in the final episode of Challenge of the Superfriends back in the day. I think the episode was called History of Doom.
This movie is an adaption of the JLA: Tower of Babel comic arc from 2000. (JLA #43-46)This was a Mark Waid Justice League story. The movie added a couple of different characters not used in the comic but the general theme is the same.
This is hands down THE BEST DC ANIMATED JUSTICE LEAGUE EVER. TIMELESS AND ACCURATE. ONSCREEN DC AT ITS MOST PURE.
Wow, i started watching your animated dc reactions two days ago and i said to myself literally yesterday “i wish they would react to JL doom”, what are the chances😂
i love these VA’s
28:08 reminds me of the alien rhino that runs over Jango Fett in Starwars attack of the clones
Batman was right in creating contingency plans, but he should have told them before everything went to shit.
Exactly. You can't be on a team when you undermine your team's trust.
I see your point but that's not Batmans nature and to be honest, that could cause problems as well..the more ppl that know a thing the greater the chance it will get out and to the enemies of the JL...Think about it, if a enemy mind controlled one member, picked his/her brain and found out, Hey Batman has detailed plans on how to take down the entire league. I mean let's be honest here, Batman most likely has more resistance to mind control than the entire league..he has trained and study just about everything in both the physical and the mental to prepare himself so he would be wary of the other leaguers ability to resist.
@@shootingreal5945 You can't be secretive about that kind of thing on a team. It doesn't work that way. This movie and the comic it's based on already made that happen. And it was because Batman didn't tell the League he had the plans that they were in danger and because he didn't secure them well enough that they were in danger. That's ridiculous. He'd likely controlled just like them. What'd be the contingency for that and no, not the League since its apparently so easy for him to take them down.
@parkerboy795 Well the concept of Batman not securing the plans well enough is laughable but the writers went with that sadly and expect us the viewers to buy it..also Batman being controlled is certainly not the same as Superman or WW or GL. The level of destruction Superman can do mind controlled is unimaginable so I can see why Batman would focus on those leaguers who are like nukes as far as forming plans to stop them.
@@shootingreal5945Except it's not. He's not perfect. In fact, his arrogance and paranoia are on full display in this story. He could have told the League the plans existed without revealing their details. That way their purpose isn't undermined and the League's trust in him isn't fractured. Not to mention, the plans security is already in question considering some of Batman's enemies know who he is and could steal them, which is exactly what happened in the comic. Considering scores of people act like he easily beat the League who they view as gods, it seems like it's at the same level if not even worse. Even then, that still makes him a danger so what's the contingency for him?
finally, I've been waiting for this reaction for a long time
This is one of my favorite movies! The way it highlights how deadly Batman could be if he used lethal tactics, considering that his plan was meant to neutralize and not kill. Also love you guys vibe! Super wholesome.
One of the best DC animated films that isn't fully connected to many other films. The only major changes from Tower of Babel source material is Bane-v-Batman and Vandal Savage replaced Ras Al-Guhl stealing Batman's contingency plans.
Paul Blackthorne (aka Quentin Lance from Arrow) was Metallo.
Mark 18:58? SMG's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" has also had to punch her way out of a buried coffin or casket. Hmm. So, have zombies and vampires, for that matter. 🤔
Cool detail
Is that’s the piece of kryptonite from Batman beyond…old Bruce still had it in one of the epic and referenced that Superman gave it to him..same box and everything lol
TOWER OF BABEL one of my favorite comic book stories. Would love to see a live action version of this in the future
Doom is okay, much prefer the comic this is based off of. The Tower of Babel story line on the comic is more fleshed out and the villain is Ra’s Al Ghul. Which makes for far compelling arc for him than simply Batman saving the day. I guess this is the one I don’t recommend to people 😂
Agreed. This is very boilerplate compared to the source material it's pulled from. Tower of Babel is the shit.
I also don't care for the much clear favoritism towards Batman in this movie. The comics actually explored the flaws and ramifications of his actions.
@@parkerboy795agreed the Batman favoritism is way over board in this movie
Cool movie..awesome reactions keep it going guys 👍
Definitely enjoyed this reaction. Looking forward to the next.
35:15 Dwayne McDuff The creator of static shock! 😃
also helped with Ben 10
YESSS I LOVE THAT YOUR KEEPING THIS GOING, don't forget superman man of tomorrow animated movie plz haha also do you ever get burnout from watching so many superhero movies?
This is not based on the current run "fale safe" this is adapted from the "Babel tower" run on the comic who take the Batman's contingency plans is Rash All Gull
Vandal savage started the dance dance revolution 😂😂
Yeeessss this movie is still goated my all-time favorite DC animated movie.😊
This was a pretty good adaptation of Tower of Babel even with the changes along with reuniting the Justice League animated series cast.
As everyone has pointed out in the comments, this is not a sequel to Crisis on Two Earths. It's its own thing, separate from that movie and separate from the Justice League cartoon series.
They just got most of the League's voice cast back.
Key observation being while this Flash is voiced by Smallville's Lex Luthor, just like the Justice League show does, in this movie Flash is Barry Allen, not Wally West like in JL's show.
It's still unclear WHY Wally West is just Barry's replacement in JL, since his name and personality are literally the only things different, Wally's life being Barry's in JL with no mention of Barry ever.
Reverse Flash is also absent from the series, the only true reference to him being a nanobot enemy taking on RF's colours in a fight with Flash, him not even acknowledging the appearance at all
I still love that Savage's plan was literally taken from an episode of the Super Friends
I love DC Animated films, but it drives me crazy how Martian Manhunter is done dirty in all of them ! Not just animated but live action too. He's literally the most powerful member of the Justice League, in terms of his range
So with this movie, Michael Rosenbaum has voiced: both Barry & Wally as the Flash; and in one episode of Justice League Unlimited, he voiced Lex Luthor when he and Flash swapped bodies.
Metallo is voiced by Paul Blackthorne, you know, Quentin Lance from Arrow.
Finally im so happy I've been asking for weeks haha
Kevin Conroy will always be my Batman.
R.I.P Kevin Conroy (1955-2022)
