So first things first, a little history and clarification on this project. This film started life as a script written by Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League/JLU) to bridge the gap between “Justice League” and what was initially pitched as a spin-off show but became “Justice League Unlimited.” When JLU became a continuation of the JL the film was scrapped, but the idea eventually became the episode “A Better World” featuring the “Justice Lords,” totalitarian versions of the Justice League. The original script titled “Justice League: Worlds Collide,” which borrowed ideas from an old Gardner Fox “Crisis” storyline that first introduced the “Crime Syndicate”, and Grant Morrison’s “Earth 2,” which reintroduced the group into modern day, was shelved but remained a plausible idea for DC’s then upcoming series of direct to DVD films. Years later with a few tweaks to make it follow a continuity not connected to the JL/JLU universe, but still great if you were a fan of the show.
