Just saw "Crisis on Two Earths" - was very good.

Stephen Baldwin as Batman?  Swing and a miss, but James Woods as Owlman was inspired.    I didn't buy into their version of Earth-2 so much.  It looked too shiny, Metropolislike for a world under seige.  Still, it was solid writing and performance.

Next up...Planet Hulk.  Let's see how Marvel sizes up.

One thing we never discussed in the episode, that I realized as I was relistening to the episode this morning, is that the DC animated universe has also been more successful due to the fact that Warner Bros is running the show.  Having only one master makes for a better production.

Marvel farms their characters out to various production companies who then have their own ideas, plus having to pass Marvel muster, which can be a hinderance.  If Marvel could gather their characters together with one company (hell, even Disney), they might be able to produce a more cohesive product.
