One of the biggest clichés in comics is the notion of the parallel world where the villains are heroes and the heroes are villains, and characters from our world have to go over and sort it out. Comics have done this to death, really. So has Science Fiction. (Just stop it already, Star Trek!)
But DC Animated group took this cliché and actually made it work. In a parallel Earth, equivalents of our Justice League have formed a crime syndicate, lead by a Superman-clone who sounds like the rocket from Krypton landed in New Jersey instead of Kansas. Lex Luthor, the last surviving hero, goes to Earth 1, and recruits its Justice League to fight the Syndicate.
Meanwhile, this world's Batman counterpart has concluded that if they use their new terror weapon to destroy Earth Prime, all the other Earths will be destroyed as well. We also get a subplot with a romance between the president's daughter and J'onn J'onz, the Martian Manhunter. "In our universe, she's probably evil!"
Overall, fun to watch.
