Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

James Harvey has spotted something interesting about the DVD covers for Superman/Batman: Public Enemies over at the World’s Finest Online.

According to the back cover art for the upcoming Blu-ray and Two-Disc Special Edition DVD release of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, hitting shelves next month, the title of the next direct-to-video animated feature from the popular “DC Universe Animated Original Movie” line is Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League Unlimited) is listed as the writer for this upcoming feature. Official details on Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths are not expected until later this year.

This sounds like another straight adaptation of a comics storyline – namely the story from JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #21 (“Crisis on Earth One”, August 1963) and #22 (“Crisis on Earth-Two!”, September 1963) which featured the first meeting of the Justice League from Earth-One and the Justice Society from Earth-Two.

A loose version of this story has appeared before as”Legends” from the first season of the Justice League cartoon, but it used surrogates for the JSA and included its own twist. Whether this adaptation will use the cartoon continuity or just go for a self contained world isn’t known.  And may I say, it’s nice to see Dwayne McDuffie back writing the Justice League again.
