Justice League: Doom


Things start out with a bang as the Justice League and Cyborg investigate a robbery being perpetrated by the Royal Flush Gang. After a long and spectacular fight the Justice League members discover the Royal Flush Gang is in possession of technology years ahead of anything currently available.


The Justice League defeat the gang and leave. Unbeknownst to Batman he carries an unwanted passenger in the Batmobile.


Arriving at the Batcave, Batman is ushered off by Alfred for food, medical attention and rest. As the lights go out in the Batcave the Mirror Master reveals himself hidden in the Batmobile’s rear view mirror. He proceeds to the Bat computer and downloads some vital information.


Several hours later each Justice League member is incapacitated by various villains who exploit their weaknesses-weaknesses discovered in Batman’s computer files.


Bruce Wayne is accosted and buried alive by Bane. He manages to escape and with Wonder Woman, recently rescued by Cyborg, they free the other Justice League members from their various traps and injuries.


Following a tracking program that leads them to Batman’s lost computer files they encounter Vandal Savage and his new compatriots, Bane, Cheetah, Mirror Master, Metallo and other nemesis of the Justice League.


The Justice League manage to subdue the villains but not before vandal Savage sends a rocket to the Sun in order to trigger a solar flair that will destroy half of the Earth’s population.


The justice League and Cyborg must work as team in order to stop Vandal’s rocket-but can they put aside their distrust of Batman after they discover he was the one responsible for strategizing their incapacities that was exploited by Vandal Savage?


Justice League: Doom from Warner Bros. Animation is the ultimate superheroes versus supervillains slugfest which a storyline culled from several comic books published by DC Comics in the past. The dialogue is crisp, the action frenetic and the animation first-rate.


The Blu-ray features several documentaries and a sneak peek at the soon to be released Superman Vs. The Elite animated movie.
