"We've both looked into the abyss, but when it looked back at us. . .you blinked." I swear, I just love the way Batman phrases things.

This is genuinely my favorite DC animated movie and I hope ONE DAY we eventually see Owlman in live action!

James Woods is known for his incredibly energetic and charismatic voice work, however he realy nailed Owlman's cold, calculated and restrained voice in this film. What great range.

"We both looked into the abyss. But when it looked back at us, you blinked." Still the coldest line to this day, IMO.

If I remember correctly, this movie was originally proposed as a movie to connect the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoon series, but instead became a stand alone movie. Explains how the League grows between the two series, how wonder woman gets the invisible jet, the core League members, ect.

This movie is miles better than story that it's based on which is JLA: Earth 2. All thanks to the brilliant writing of the late great Dwayne McDuffie.

This was written by the incomparable Dwayne McDuffie (who also was the writing genius behind Justice League, JLU, The Milestone Universe and so many other comics). It was originally to be the interstitial between the end of Justice League Star Crossed and the beginning of Justice League Unlimited. But, it was held back and converted into a direct to video. The reason why it has so much fleshed is because it has the weight of the Timmverse behind it. It's such a great film and the cast is top notch.

The Made Men were actually the Marvel Family. So it was Billy, Freddy, and Uncle Duddly with Mary Marvel as Superwoman

So glad to see y’all appreciate this film! From the animation to especially the writing. A shame no multipleverse films have gotten close to this one(except spiderverse lol)

I HAVE SO MUCH NOSTALGIA FOR THIS ONE. What a treat to compare it to our current multiverse movies. Owl man in this is one of my fav one of villans ever

I was hoping you guys watched this sometime after Apokolips War, wasn't expecting it this soon. Batman Year One is another good one 🎬

“There is a difference between you and me. We both looked into the abyss. But when it looked back at us…you blinked.” - Batman Probably one of my top 3 favorite Batman quotes ever. Also I NEED the new DCU Batman to drop a line like this at some point. Something that’ll make the audience clap and cheer

Now it's time for "Superman/Batman public enemy" or "Superman vs the Elite" OR "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse" if you're feeling like something classic.

This one has the coldest batman line. "we both looked into the abyss. But when it looked back at us, you blinked".

Also Ultraman's origin is really funny to me. Bro came to earth as a baby and CHOSE his parents. Fully speaking to them and everything

Fave Justice League movie. The way they show their teamwork AND their individual strengths was great. I felt like all of that was portrayed properly. Batman doesn't have plot-armor, actually loses and still gets his moment, Superman is actually the leader and is a proper combination of strength and power, Wonder woman is portrayed as an actual strong woman and not as a b*tch (I actually like her fights the best) and the rest of the league shines on their own fights. I think having Crime Syndicate as an enemy instead of a faceless army w/c we've seen so many times before was also brilliant.

This is genuinely one of the best dc animated movies that that’s ever been created it’s so good I can’t wait for other reactions trouble in Tokyo justice league vs the fatal five and more

So glad y’all are watching these as I love these films so much! You should definitely watch Justice League Doom, The New Frontier, GL First Flight, Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, Mask of the Phantasm, All Star Superman etc!!

This movie is worthy of a live action adaptation it’s such a good story

The early DC animated movies were the best. Fantastic writing and very high quality animation and music. Bruce Timm produced them until the DCAMU

Easily one of the best animated movies. Looks good, powers are accurate, my favorite character flash got done justice. This was great

Mark Harmon is always the boyscott and that's always been his trademark when it comes to playing characters for example NCIS. Gina Torres as Superwoman just awesome. She plays the femme Fatale part so well and seeing her getting under Batman's skin are my favorite moments for the character.

A big part of this film for DC fans is recognising all the heroes turned into their evil counterparts. Owlman's gang is made up of the Outsiders and some of the 1980s Justice League members like Vibe.

Superwoman is actually the parallel version of Mary Marvel and her Made Men are the Marvel Family.

Also something you gotta keep in mind that in that final fight between Owlman and Batman. Not only is Owlman wearing a powered exosuit that makes him stronger and faster but Batman is fighting with a broken rib AND still won.

The cast in this film is just incredible: Chris Noth as Lex Luthor of Earth 2. William Baldwin as Batman of Earth 1. Jonathan Adams from Bones and Last Man Standing as J'onn J'onzz aka Martian Manhunter. James Woods as Owlman and his voice tells preciseness, calculation etc. Brian Bloom from A-Team film as Ultraman Gina Torres of course can do no wrong as Superwoman. Josh Keaton as Barry Allen/The Flash with the quick wit, smart talk always great. Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman aka Hera Syndulla from Rebels.

James Woods as Owlman was perfect, he always gives me chills with his Nihilistic views and I love that his own team was like dude wtf lol

Even though you guys said you were gonna continue these movies, I was low key worried you would change your minds. Glad I was wrong. Looking forward to all of them to come.

Fun fact: this movie was supposed to be a bridge between the original run of the Justice League show and Justice League Unlimited, as in the latter show there's a sudden influx of numerous superheroes. The construction of the Watchtower in this movie is further proof of this as in the finale of the original show, the first Watchtower gets destroyed during the Thanagarian invasion. The character designs too look a bit like the DCAU. I guess because of budget reasons or something this movie got pushed back and by the time they got round to making it, the DCAU had already ended. That's why we have a brand new voice cast and altered plot and designs to sever ties with the old shows. Even the people involved aren't the same as the ones who worked on the shows.

Just such an amazing performance from James Woods as Owlman, he truly kept it cool to the very end.

"For what I gathered, we're pretty much alike. Everything about you tells the tale. Your attitude, your costume, your tactics. They all scream of outrage, despair, vengeance. What terrible wrong was done to set you on this path? It doesn't really matter, nothing matters." - Owlman🦉

Martian Manhunter got game. “This is how we do it on Mars.”

These reactions have become part of my Sunday ritual. Thanks for sticking with them!

This two are so fking fun with the sarcastic comments. They really can make any movie reaction funny.

YES! This is one of my favourites aside from dark knight returns. Owl man is one of the hidden gems of Batman/league villains, and this movie is near perfect in its characterisation, visuals and audio, and managed to make a multiverse film with virtually no plot holes or flawed ideas, something that most multiverse or big universe type films often fail to do(particularly nowadays). Love this film and love your reaction!

Superwoman and her Made Men are evil versions of the Marvel Family. Superwoman is Mary Marvel, and the rest are Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr and Uncle Marvel.

I love watching people discover great content for the first time! An older lady at a gas station near me is watching the MCU movies for the first time with her grand daughter. So awesome! I told her that I am so jealous for the trip she is about to go on!

This, Red Hood, and Justice League Doom were my prime DC Animated movies. The 2 Batman/Superman movies are really solid too, I forget if Public Enemies is 1 or 2

Super underrated dc animated movie, my third favorite after batman redhood and flashpoint paradox 🙌🙌🙌🙌

It was a sibling quarrel between Owlman & Batman since in a comic issue, Owlman which is named Thomas Wayne Jr. was said to be the older brother to Bruce Wayne in and that the entire Wayne family including Bruce except for Thomas Jr.

What a great Sunday surprise getting to see your reactions to one of my fave DC animated movies!! Love that you’ve been so consistent with these! TY!

as amazing as this movie is, Martian Manhunter being like “i like you, lemme mind meld and show you a bunch of death and destruction so we can get closer” is fucking insane

This movie was actually suppose to be in the animated universe, with the old justice league cartoon. I think something happened with the scheduling and etc. Along with Justice League Doom that was suppose to set in the universe and I think since they kept coming out with solo projects like this, they ended up making another DCAU which was the one you guys watched Justice league Dark: apocalypse war and that universe. Feel free to check, cause I might be wrong abt one of the movie but I know that one of them was suppose to set in that whole universe with the justice league cartoon show.

Thank you guys for re-watching that it really brought me back it was so good!!!!

This is one of the favorites! It's also back when Superman was actually seen and acknowledged as the Justice League's rightful leader and still should be now.

I love how they grouped thebad guys together. First, The Outsiders along with the Detroit JLA. Then the Marvels. Loved it.

I am 💯 enjoying these reactions to these animated DC movies. I feel like the DC animated movies are done so well!! Much love from Prince Edward Island Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️

This was, is, and will be always so good!

The DC animation has for many years been such a gem, it’s a shame the DCEU/DCU has never tried to follow their example. Thank you John and Mr Coy for such an enthusiastic reaction👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾☺️😎

Its literally impossible for these guys to miss

As a little kid about to start middle school, I remember this movie became my gateway into my love for comics and the concept of the multiverse. Now years later, knowing that owlman is actually a version of Thomas Wayne, makes re watching the final fight even more personal.

It's an evil version of the Shazam family's.

How I have been waiting for this one, this has to be my most favorite DC multi-verse stories

There is so many lines and animation details in this movie that's just so good. This one is such an underrated one, excited to see more of you guys' reaction on other dc animated movies!

“No you can’t die you got a crypt to keep” 😂🤣😂🤣 🙌🏾🙌🏾 John with the one liners!! Tales From The Crypt!!

YES! I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Grew up with this movie and its a classic

So glad you’re doing more of these! Can’t wait to see what’s next!!

“Multiverse fatigue”? We literally JUST started with the multiverse. We’ve been waiting years for Marvel and DC to do multiverse stuff in movies. We are just getting started. Bring back all the previous incarnations of characters!

This was my favorite animated flick from DC set outside the DCAMU. Glad you guys reviewed this one! Plus i'm guessing it's not but in my head cannon I used to imagine this film set in the same universe as Young Justice because of the similar art styles.

As morbid as it sounds I love how Owlmans idea of nothing matters comes back around in the end. When he's teleported to the ice planet it doesn't matter what he does. Whether he let's the bomb blow up or not he will die regardless. If you really think about it earth prime would of already been destroyed by one of the infinite other people like him but either due to some cosmic force stopping it or the multiverse being reformed after being destroyed it all starts over anyway only proving his point that nothing matters. If nothing matters though then anything CAN matter. It's your choice to give meaning to everything. Not because it has to be, but because you choose it to be.

The made men that are under superwoman are alternate versions of Captain Marvel, Cpt. Marvel Jr, and Uncle Marvel. Their costumes resemble superwoman because they are her 3 top lieutenants.

I've been subscribed to this channel now for well over a year, maybe 2 years+. But this series of DC Animated film reactions over the past few months have been the most fun and most looked forward to videos I've seen from this channel. Can't say enough how much I love these reactions and look forward to each one. Very much looking forward to The Long Halloween up next. So GOOD!! Much love Coy and John. (And you too, Greg!)

I hadn't thought of it but yeah it's funny how this movie and even some episodes of JL Unlimited did a lot of the things we've come to expect from multiverse films and also doing it really well, and did it SEVERAL years before it became the new "popular thing"

Back when dc animated films weren’t cutting corners and characters looked different from another. Solid animation through and through.

I have the 'nothing matters' monologue saved on my phone.

By the way if you didn't know, the Flash in this movie is Wally West (the best Flash).

this movie really felt like it knew the characters truly especially for the time it was made

it's so cool that Bruce Davison aka Senator Robert Kelly from X-Men films (X1 and X2 Mystique disguised) voices Slade Wilson of Earth 2 and he is the president of the US lol.

Not sure if it's been said yet but Owlman was Batman's brother and Superwoman is Lois Lane. Aaand I believe Owlman though that it doesn't matter if he aborts the bomb because his decision has already made an alternate world where he survived.

Great Reaction Coy and John, This movie was so cool and great to watch! 👍

Hope DC will do the same treatment to their live action movies like they do with these animated movies. DC has endless potential.

Hi! Greetings from a Italian fan! The DCAMU doesn't end With APOKALYPSE WAR but With DC Showcase: Constantine - The House of Mystery!

Also keep in mind that Batman was at a huge disadvantage to owl man in their matchup. Owl man was cybernetically enhanced (that’s how he could fist fight Wonder Woman), and Batman also had a broken rib.

Also its a subtle call back to the beginning... "are you absolutely sure/pretty sure" "you knew this was going to happen"

10:29 He actually can… he’s just slower doing it. He can run on clouds and if needed rotate his arms to generate wind funnels to fly with

Superwoman, Uncle Super, Captain Super and Super Jr. are Made-Men counterparts of the Marvel Family.

In case it wasn’t clear, Superwoman and the Made Men are the Shazam family

I like how Coy is starting to conenct more with animation because of stuff like this. This one is one of my favourites from DC, and I agree,one of my favourite Justice League things, hard stop. There's nothing I would complain about that this movie did. I would have liked maybe a bit more about the new League members at the end, maybe more time with Jester, but everything the movie actually did with the characters was great

You guys need to watch Justice League: Doom next. It’s almost like the sequel to this movie. I think you will love it

Hey Coy and John, I enjoyed watching your reactions to the DCAMU! I really hope you start the “Tomorrowverse” it starts with Superman: Man of Tomorrow and it includes Batman: the Long Halloween (Parts 1&2). I really am enjoying these reactions. I am starting the “Tomorrowverse” as well, would love to see y’all join the adventure!

I’m sure this is one of a million comments pointing out that it’s Wally and not Barry as the Flash for this one. Biggest giveaway was him not understanding the scientific language Lex is using since Wally is a mechanic, not a scientist like Barry

“My personal computer” I haven’t heard that in years 😂❤

To me this is one of the peaks of DC’s animated films. Glad you two got to watch it!

Did anyone else want to see the Crime Syndicate as alternate skins in Injustice 2? I really wanted Owl Man especially. I really hope they make it into Injustice 3.

If I remember correctly, Superwoman’s Made Men are Billy Batson, Freddy Freeman, and Uncle Dudley.

Love this film. Will you be going back over the older films before starting the new rebooted animated universe?

The opening title song gives me chills every fucking time. Justice League theme is goated and this particular version is sick

For some reason I’m super stoked you both liked this one. I absolutely love this movie. It has a special place in my heart

I watched this movie so much when I was younger! I think I intentionally forget how it goes every time I watch it so I can be surprised and get that feeling I had as a kid watching it.

This movie proposes a great question ,could Owlman work in live action ? And as always Coy and John great reaction

Hey, Coy. I hope you watch the rest of the films in the Christopher Reeve Superman franchise, because those films are just so damn nostalgic, and absolutely worth your time. All of those movies, yep, even the bad ones, hold a special place in my heart, and I couldn't get enough of your reaction to the original Richard Donner classic from '78, which is also still my favorite DC movie, if not overall superhero film! I really thought you'd mention watching Superman II in the James Gunn announcement video, but I'm just stuck asking for you to watch them. There's also been quite a lot of comparisons to Superman II (1980), and Justice League (2017), with both having inferior theatrical versions, and superior in every way director's cuts. Absolutely worth your time! Feel free to skip that terrible Supergirl spinoff movie.

Johnny quick was a legend

I was first introduced to Owl Man in the Lego DC Supervillains game. This is one of the many DCAU movies I missed.

I think that the made-men are this universe is version of the Shazam Family . Since if you go by the Comics, Super-Woman is actually Mary Batson (or as we know her in the main continuity: Mary Marvel. Shazam’s foster sister.)

Weird Yoshi is fast enough to fly for bit running his feet, yet Flash isn’t fast enough to fly flapping his feet.

"With my luck, she'll be evil" I mean, thats Rose Wilson, the Ravager Hahaha

I just recently rewatched this movie. Im so grateful to watch this is as a kid so entertaining and hype

There are two quotes that I consider to be two of the most badass quotes of all time. "There is a difference between you and me. We both looked into the abyss, but when it looked back at us, you blinked" (Batman) "All I am surrounded by is Fear. And dead men" (Darth Vader)

(At 30:30) No he's not. Batman knows what will happen to him if he does that. After all, before Barry Allen came back to life, this IS how he died, originally.
