Savage has access to a variety of “contingency plans” pilfered from the Bat-computer which detail how to completely neutralize each member of the League should they ever turn heel, and with that information, his cronies can jump the queue straight to the flavor of physical and/or emotional torture our heroes are most susceptible to. The hires include Bane (Carlos Alazraqui), Cheetah (Claudia Black), Metallo (Paul Blackthorne), Star Sapphire (Olivia d’Abo), Ma’alefa’ak (Carl Lumbly) and Mirror Master (Alexis Denisof), who aren’t doppelgangers of the Justice League, but are iconic-enough villains in each member’s respective mythology that they function more or less the same way.īut, importantly, that isn’t all. The main plot is kick-started by an immortal tyrant, Vandal Savage (Phil Morris), hiring various lesser-known nemeses of the Justice League into his very own Legion of Doom, which doesn’t feel like too much of a deviation, structurally or thematically, from the set-up of Crisis on Two Earths.

It is familiar, I guess, but if Justice League: Doom accomplishes something tangible among the usual large-scale action these films are known for, it’s a darker treatment of the Justice League that pushes each member to their physical and emotional limits (and the film to the very brink of its PG-13 classification.) Ever wanted to see Batman get buried alive with his father’s bones, or Martian Manhunter perpetually immolate as he sweats flaming magnesium? Well, this is the movie for you.
