JLA: Earth 2

A truly dark and wonderful take on the JLA story. In an alternate universe the Justice League is evil and Lex Luthor is good. Luthor travels to Earth-2 (our reality) and enlists the help of the JLA to help restore the balance. I enjoyed this Morrison tale of good and evil. The Crime Syndicate, the evil JLA, is something to behold. From Ultraman to Owlman the evil versions of the JLA are twisted and darkly amusing. The artwork is good, though the artist has a tendency to draw his characters are overly muscular and that causes the visualizations of Wonder Woman and her alternate Superwoman to be less than attractive. I also enjoyed the evil Flash, as he kept shooting up with speed. Of them all Ultraman and Owlman were my two favorite characters. Though I must admit a bit of confusion as to who Owlman was. In the evil world Bruce and his mother died and Thomas Wayne became the commissioner. I think any Morrison fan will love this story, as will anyone who likes a good Justice League tale. One of my favorite graphic novels.

Isn't Owlman one of the Watchmen (no powers)?

That dude is so screwed up. His lack of empathy at times sends a chill to your very bones!
Then again, Batman's overflowing empathy makes me want to puke!

*SPOILER COMMENT!* The Owlman of this version of the CSA is Thomas Wayne, Jr, Bruce's older brother. There's only the tiniest hint of that in the story, a picture on Commissioner Wayne's desk in one panel that has a child-sized piece ripped off, someone standing next to little Bruce. I missed it the first time I read it, and still had to Google Owlman to confirm this version is a Wayne.
