'Justice League: Doom' Animated Film

April 2, 2011: Warner Bros. Animation Announces "Justice League: Doom"


Bruce Timm told fans at the "Green Lantern: Emerald Knights" panel at WonderCon this weekend that the next Warner Bros. animated film would be titled "Justice League: Doom", and would be loosely inspired by the "Tower of Babel" storyline from the comics.
The script for the animated movie was the final work of Dwayne McDuffie. The original story was published in "Justice League of America #43-46" and was written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Howard Porter.

Batman's greatest rival, Ra's al Ghul continues his quest to save Earth from humanity by thinning the ranks of the human populace. But after being thwarted over and over again, Ra's seeks to distract Batman by stealing the bodies of his dead parents while he enacts his nefarious plot. And to insure that Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash and the rest of the JLA do not interfere with his plans, he individually defeats each of the heroes using strategies developed by Batman himself! And when the League learn of his betrayal, they look to expel the Dark Knight from their ranks.

"the fact that it's a Ra's al-Ghul story arc should serve as confirmation about a certain rumored plot point from TDKRises,"

So in Batman Begins, we see Batman not kill him,

but did you ever see a body there? I didn't.

Plus, the storyline itself is pretty good, you can argue how wrong Batman really was in developing those war games to take out the other Leaguers if push if ever truly came to shove, the fact that it's a Ra's al-Ghul story arc should serve as confirmation about a certain rumored plot point from TDKRises, etc. Honestly, there are a LOT worse Justice League of America stories you could adapt. I could actually see getting excited about this.

And yes, it's written by Mark Waid, who can almost do no wrong in my eyes.

Justice League: Doom

Here comes the Justice League! An all-star cast has been assembled to provide voices for the iconic team of superheroes in Justice League: Doom, the latest animated DVD-movie in Warner Home Video's series of DC Comics adaptations. Castle star Nathan Fillion will reprise the role of Green Lantern, which he first played in Green Lantern: Emerald Knights. He'll be joined by Tim Daly and Kevin Conroy, the longtime voices for Superman and Batman, respectively. Rounding out the cast are several of Conroy's old costars from Cartoon Network's 2001-06 Justice League series (known as Justice League Unlimited in later seasons): Smallville's Michael Rosenbaum as the Flash, Alias alum Carl Lumbly as Martian Manhunter and veteran voice actress Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman. Cyborg, a character not seen on Justice League, joins the group for this movie and will be played by Bumper Robinson (The Game).
The movie, due to be released in early 2012 on DVD, Blu-ray, digital download and on-demand, is based on the popular DC storyline JLA: Tower of Babel, written by Mark Waid. The plot: Batman's secret contingency plans to defeat his own teammates (should any of them go rogue) are stolen and put into action by a group of super villains.

Once again running the show behind the scenes is executive producer Bruce Timm, the man responsible for dozens of beloved animated superhero projects, including the original Justice League. Lauren Montgomery, a veteran of several animated movies in this series, including the upcoming Batman: Year One, is the director. The script was written by acclaimed animation/comic book writer Dwayne McDuffie, who passed away earlier this year.

A trailer for Justice League: Doom will premiere at New York Comic Con on Friday, Oct. 14, and is featured on the Batman: Year One DVD, which goes on sale Tuesday, Oct. 18.
