Justice League: Doom

No matter how bad the bad guys are, there’s always something predictable about super hero moves: you always know the good guys will win in the end. That’s why this latest DVD from DC comics is so intriguing. The members of the Justice League all have fights with various representatives of their criminal counterpoints, and they actually get their butts handed to them. It’s as if the bad guys all knew the secret to the one thing that the heroes can’t fight against. When it turns out they actually do have that kind of secret, the story takes an intense twist, followed by another when the source of their knowledge is revealed. Like all the DC DVDs, the art work here is bold and strong and the acting is excellent. This time, though, it’s the story that really shines through.
