In the DCU, there is another Earth where [[Mirror Universe|life is reversed]]. The human heart is on the right side, and morality is switched around. Supervillains such as [[Lex Luthor]] and Slade Wilson are some of this world's greatest heroes. But on the other end of the spectrum, there is the [[Psycho Rangers|Crime Syndicate]]. Made up of [[Evil Counterpart]]s of the [[Justice League]], they run an empire of organized, superpowered crime that has all but taken over the world. Lex Luthor, in a desperate attempt to stop them, crosses over to the mainstream DC Universe to ask the League for help. While the League agrees, they're facing off against a world overflowing with supervillains, and Owlman ([[Batman]]'s Evil Counterpart) has his own deadly agenda...
 
ThisThe direct-to-DVD film '''''Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths''''' was originally planned as a ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' prequel film, dealing with how the League decided to make the jump to [[Heroes Unlimited]] after ''Starcrossed''. After JLU was cancelled, the film was re-imagined to show off the mainstream DCU. Still, the tone is perfect for a DCAU entry, and the JLU roots are still very obvious. (For example: Absent Hawkgirl, Funny Flash, Watchtower being rebuilt, and the [[Heroes Unlimited]] is still a plot point.)
 
An important fact to keep in mind is that, despite the similarities between the two factions, the Crime Syndicate of America is ''not'' composed of [[Evil Twin]]s of the Justice League of America. Though [[All There in the Manual|not explained within the film itself]], the members of the Syndicate have different personal and professional backgrounds, with different origins for their superpowers and different secret identities. They are [[Expy]]s, which is why the "twins" have different voice-actors;<ref>Bar Green Lantern</ref> they are actually not the same people as those in the League.
