The Justice League

Superman

Superman (Clark Kent)

Voiced by: Mark Harmon ^{Foreign VAs}Emmanuel Jacomy (FR)

---

• Flying Brick: His powerset includes Flight and Super-Strength. Owlman implies that Superman outshines the other Leaguers in these two departments.
  Owlman: You should have sent your flying man. With his strength, you might have had a chance.
• The Leader: Of the Justice League. Superman is the one who splits the team and coordinates the attacks to apprehend the Made-Men.
• X-Ray Vision: He uses this power to inspect Lex Luthor. Noticing that the position of the man's internal organs is reversed, he figures out that the Lex they captured is from a parallel universe.

Batman

Batman (Bruce Wayne)

Voiced by: William Baldwin ^{Foreign VAs}Adrien Antoine (FR)

---

• Badass Normal: As the only member of the Justice League to lack superhuman abilities, Batman relies solely on martial arts, gadgets and his own cunning to save the day.
• Batman Can Breathe in Space: He is somehow able to breathe on Earth-Prime when he travels there, despite said planet apparently lacking an atmosphere.
• Batman Grabs a Gun: Considering that Owlman was willing to erase all life in the multiverse, it's fair to say that all bets are off and Batman's usual rules can be broken in this instance. Interestingly, while Batman does technically kill Owlman by tying him to a universe-destroying bomb, he allows enough time for Owlman to save himself. Owlman refuses and lets himself die.
  • Similarly, he manipulates Johnny Quick into sacrificing himself. In both these instances, Batman's One Rule is barely kept intact, but only by sheer technicality.
• Bond One-Liner: See below under Shut Up, Hannibal!.
• Ineffectual Loner: Owlman correctly deduces that Batman doesn't trust anyone but himself to finish a job, hence why he came to Earth-Prime alone. Considering that Batman is a member of the Justice League though, his stubborn self-reliance rings slightly hollow.
• Manipulative Bastard: He sets up Johnny Quick to sacrifice himself instead of Flash to open a portal to Earth-Prime. To his credit, he takes no joy in it.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: Bluntly refutes Owlman's nihilist philosophy.
  Batman: We both looked into the abyss, but when it looked back at us....you blinked!

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman (Princess Diana of Themyscira)

Voiced by: Vanessa Marshall ^{Foreign VAs}Delphine Braillon (FR)

---

• Action Girl: She is the only female member of the League, but one of the most proficient in combat. Throughout the film, she triumphs over her Earth 3 counterpart, Owlman and Superwoman without breaking a sweat.
• Battle Trophy: She claims the invisible jet for herself after the Crime Syndicate is defeated, calling it "spoils of war". When the Flash notes she can fly on her own, Green Lantern retorts that he still drives a car.
• By the Hair: She gets momentarily stunned when she's fighting her Evil Counterpart Olympia, and gets her hair grabbed and used as leverage to throw her into a wall.
• Ship Tease: Barely, but she is the first to rush to Batman’s side when he returns from Earth Prime, and her evil counterpart is dating Batman’s counterpart. This is likely a holdover from when the film was initially intended as canon to the DC Animated Universe, given that those versions of Batman and Wonder Woman also had chemistry.
• Wrestler in All of Us: In the film, she uses a few wrestling moves, in particular a suplex and an elbow drop when battling Superwoman.

The Flash

The Flash (Wally West)

Voiced by: Josh Keaton ^{Foreign VAs}Christophe Lemoine (FR)

---

• Heroic Sacrifice: He almost unknowingly pulls one when he offers to be the one to open the portal to the Prime-Earth, though he is stopped by Batman and Johnny Quick does it instead, as Batman knew what would happen.
• Oh, Crap!: He accidentally runs off of an airship. Hal saves him, though.
• Pietà Plagiarism: He holds Johnny Quick in his arms as the villain dies.

Martian Manhunter

Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz)

Voiced by: Jonathan Adams ^{Foreign VAs}Philippe Peythieu (FR)

---

• But Now I Must Go: Rose Wilson asks the Martian Manhunter to stay, but he's promised to protect our Earth. Wonder Woman tries to comfort him by pointing out there's likely another Rose Wilson on their world, but the Martian Manhunter gripes that she's probably evil in their universe.
• The Cavalry: When it looks like Ultraman is going to start trouble again, the Martian Manhunter turns up with US space marines, the President in a space tank, and a shuttle loaded with nukes.
• Odd Couple: With Rose, who is a human and centuries younger than him (not to mention the fact that he's likely considered middle-aged for a Martian, while Rose is in her twenties).

Green Lantern

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

Voiced by: Nolan North ^{Foreign VAs}Pierre Tessier (FR)

---

• Beam-O-War: He has one with his Evil Counterpart Power Ring.
• Pinball Protagonist: Compared to the other members of the League, he is the one that does the least.

The Crime Syndicate

Owlman

Owlman (Thomas Wayne Junior)

Voiced by: James Woods ^{Foreign VAs}Patrick Béthune (FR)

---

• Adaptational Villainy: Most comic versions of Owlman are criminally insane, but not the full-blown Omnicidal Maniac that the film's version becomes.
• Always Someone Better: For the most part, his fight with Batman demonstrates that he is this. On top of developing technology light-years ahead of anything Bruce could ever come up with, Owlman's lethal weaponry, physical strength and combat savagery are initially far superior. In the end, Batman's resourcefulness, willpower and long-term manipulation win out, but just barely.
• Apocalypse How: He plans to cause an X-5/Class Z one by blowing up Earth Prime, and in doing so, every other universe that derives from the prime one.
• Asshole Victim: He's one of the few villains that Batman technically kills, but considering his sociopathic demeanour, his depressingly nihilistic ideology, and the terrifying scope of his plans, it's safe to say that no one (except Superwoman) will mourn him. He also had just enough time to abort the bomb's detonation, which Batman probably knew, but chose not to and assert one last time that it doesn't matter, so his death was his own choice.
• Badass Normal: Just like Batman, he has no powers and relies on his gadgets and cunning to fight.
• Big Bad: He ends up taking over as the primary threat of the film.
• Brought to You by the Letter "S": His costume has a letter "O" in the middle.
• Cain and Abel: His secret identity is Thomas Wayne Jr., Bruce's older brother who was never born in the Justice League's universe, so he serves as this to Batman. Predictably, his true identity doesn't matter to him anymore, just like everything else in his life.
• Character Catchphrase: "It doesn't matter."
• Combat Pragmatist: While fond of a good Motive Rant, he makes it clear that his monologuing won't be too much of a hindrance.
  Batman: [choking] What are you gonna do? Talk me to death?
  Owlman: [smiling] Actually... I thought I'd beat you to death.
• Control Freak: His goal of destroying the multiverse, specifically the influence of "man", appears to be partly motivated by his inability to control or quantify the infinitely branching paths.
• Creepy Monotone: His voice never raises above it and he's all the more chilling because of it. Likely because as per his nihilistic, dispassionate disposition, he's just dead on the inside.
• Dark Is Evil: Wears a black and gray outfit similar to Batman's, and is the evilest character in the film, as his depravity causes the rest of the Syndicate (sans Superwoman) to turn on him.
• Deadpan Snarker: For such a dour, nihilistic creep, Owlman has an appropriately dry, condescending sense of humour.
  Batman: You're Insane!
  Owlman: Does it really matter? There are alternate versions of me that you might find quite charming.
• Death by Adaptation: He perishes in the end, when JLA: Earth-2, the graphic novel this animated film is loosely based on, had him survive in the end.
• Despair Event Horizon: After discovering the multiverse, he became nihilistic, believing nothing matters. No matter what decision a person makes, an alternate version of them will make the opposite choice, and so on, ad infinitum. Owlman convinced himself therefore only one choice mattered - the destruction of the multiverse.
  Batman: There is a difference between you and me. We both looked into the abyss, but when it looked back at us... You blinked.
• Evil Counterpart: To Batman. Both are Badass Normals whose outfits resemble a nocturnal animal, but Owlman is an Omnicidal Maniac with no redeeming qualities.
• Face Death with Dignity: His reaction when Batman strands him on an icy parallel Earth with his own bomb seconds away from detonation — he still has a chance to stop the detonation with one press of a button — is to merely smirk, do nothing, and affirm his driving philosophy: "It doesn't matter."
• Fallen Hero: Subverted. While Batman asserts that if they're multiversal counterparts, he must have been a good man once, Owlman denies he was ever good, and insists he's always been a monster — or in his words, only human.
• Fantastic Racism: Inverted. He is presumably aware of the existence of sentient alien life, yet he squarely focuses his hatred on humanity as the source of everything wrong with the multiverse. It's unclear if his bomb would have truly destroyed the entire Prime universe or merely Earth-Prime itself.
• In Love with Your Carnage: Admits that he finds the fact that Superwoman is a murdering psychopath 'attractive'.
• Know When to Fold 'Em: Owlman had enough time to halt the bomb's detonation and probably could have even gone back to blow up Earth-Prime if he wanted. Instead, he apparently accepts his defeat and happily dies while sticking to his (horrible) core principles, possibly under the belief that even if he fails, another version of himself may be able to finish the job for him eventually.
• Misanthrope Supreme: He hates all humanity, including himself.
• Multiversal Conqueror: His goal is to destroy the Prime dimension, which would destroy the rest of the multiverse as well.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: His battle against Batman eventually boils down to Owlman mercilessly curbstomping his heroic counterpart into the ground. But Batman purposefully goads him on to stall for time...
• No-Sell: Batman's usual stealth-based tactics are ineffective against Owlman, who has enough experience to counter anything Bruce can throw at him. Owlman even has a hidden mouth covering built into his cowl that slides out automatically to block gas attacks, as shown when Batman attempts to spray him^note Owl-Repellent Bat Spray, perhaps?.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Destroying his own Earth isn't good enough for him, he has to bomb the whole multiverse.
• Slasher Smile: Grins psychotically while beating his heroic alternate universe counterpart to death.
• Straw Nihilist: His revelations about the nature of a constantly expanding multiverse drove him to believe that absolutely nothing matters; for every positive decision, a billion negative ones are made on alternate Earths that branch out into new realities. This troubles Owlman enough for him to try to destroy Earth-Prime, and consequently "everyone who ever lived; who ever will live."
• Warrior Poet: A dark take. Owlman is fond of espousing his nihilistic philosophies in the midst of battle, always with the same Creepy Monotone delivery.

Superwoman

Superwoman (Marion Batson)

Voiced by: Gina Torres ^{Foreign VAs}Laura Zichy (FR)

---

• Ax-Crazy: A sadistic dominatrix who decides to help her boyfriend destroy all of reality just for shits and giggles.
• Card-Carrying Villain: She freely admits to being a "murdering psychopath".
• Dominatrix: Her outfit ^note  a black leather leotard, fingerless opera gloves, thigh-high boots, a choker, and a high ponytail and clear sexual sadism in her treatment of Batman ^note  attacking and flirting with him simultaneously, saying she likes her lovers to "make some noise," and offering to keep him as a "pet" both give off this vibe.
• The Dragon: To Owlman. She is the only member of the Syndicate who knows his true intentions and wants to go through with his plan to destroy the multiverse.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Subverted. She admits that Owlman is on a whole 'nother level of insane compared to even herself, but she finds it hot and decides to help him without much hesitation.
• Evil Feels Good: She never expresses any remorse for her actions, which sets her apart from most of her team who turn on Owlman when they discover the scope of his plans, and she is generally very satisfied with her life of ill-gotten gains.
• For the Evulz: Everything she does is purely for her own twisted amusement. That apparently includes planning to wipe out all of reality, including herself.
• Has a Type: She's into Owlman and Batman, who are each other's counterparts. They're both dark, smart, brooding...
• Hate Sink: Like her lover, she has no redeeming qualities and is a sadistic psychopath, to boot. In some ways, she's more detestable since she has absolutely no good reason for wanting to destroy the multiverse, she just goes along with it because she can.
• Ms. Fanservice: Her leotard leaves little to the imagination.
• Polyamory: She's in a relationship with Owlman, but she also makes it clear she has the hots for Batman too.
• Victory Is Boring: Alongside the Crime Syndicate, she has successfully conquered everywhere worth conquering, stolen everything worth stealing and killed everyone worth killing. She justifies teaming up with Owlman in his plot to bomb the multiverse because she has already won life and, like him, has nothing else to live for.
• Villainous Crush: On Batman. She forcefully kisses him, compares his grunts of pain to sexual moaning, and voices her intention to turn him into her pet.

Ultraman

Ultraman (Clark Kell)

Voiced by: Brian Bloom ^{Foreign VAs}Damien Ferrette (FR)

---

• Adaptational Nice Guy: To an extent. He shows at least some restraint in his cruelty and mourns J'edd J'arkus, when JLA: Earth-2 had him willing to use his powers to kill people for the slightest of grievances and imply at one point that he personally killed his world's counterpart to J'onn J'onzz without a shred of remorse.
• Big Bad Wannabe: He is The Leader of the Crime Syndicate and does try to act like the Big Bad character pulling the strings. In the end, he is outclassed by Owlman who plans to destroy the universe, which ends up being the bigger threat.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
  • After J'edd J'arkus (Martian Manhunter's doppelganger) is killed in the opening act, Ultraman has a moment of silence and states "God rest his soul."
  • Similar to the main earth, Jimmy Olsen has a watch that allows him to call Ultraman at anytime, and Ultraman is legitimately upset about Lex and Superman ganging up on him. The first thing he does when he's called is tell them to lay off Jimmy, even calling him "his boy", although whether as his right-hand-mook/sidekick or because of an even deeper love and respect is up for debate. Either way you slice it, it shows that he does care for him.
• The Leader: He is the boss of the Crime Syndicate and acts as the moderator during the organization's meetings.
• The Sociopath: Ultraman uses his power to become the "Don o' Dons," and threatens the families of anybody who opposes him. He only agrees to save the multiverse to protect his own skin, and expects a reward for it.
• Super Mob Boss: Ultraman is essentially one of these considering he's the chairman of a syndicate of superpowered criminals with their own divisions and goons moving up in hierarchy based on service like that of the Italian Mafia. He even refers to himself as the "Don o' Dons" of all things.

Johnny Quick

Johnny Quick (John Chambers)

Voiced by: James Patrick Stuart ^{Foreign VAs}Yoann Sover (FR)

---

• Alas, Poor Villain: The Justice League is suitably somber about his Heroic Sacrifice.
• Awesome Aussie: Johnny speaks with a noticeable Australian accent and is one of the leading members of the Crime Syndicate. He's also the only one to undergo a Heel–Face Turn by choosing to help the heroes save the multiverse.
• Death by Adaptation: He lived by the end of the source material JLA: Earth-2, but in this animated film sacrifices himself to help save the day.
• Died in Your Arms Tonight: After brutally aging from opening the interdimensional portal, he's so weak he falls and Flash has to support him. He dies quickly after this.
• Face Death with Dignity: He's not angry about Batman tricking him to his death, merely congratulating him for his wits and being happy as his sacrifice meant something.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Opening a portal to Earth-Prime makes him age to death, and he barely has time to get confirmation that yes, he did help to save the multiverse before dying.
• Rapid Aging: He dies from becoming very elderly as a result of his Heroic Sacrifice.
• Redemption Equals Death: Batman informed him opening the portal would be dangerous, yet Johnny still did it because the fate of all the Earths in existence was threatened.
• Super-Speed: He is a speedster, and Batman states he is even faster than the Flash. Though Batman was lying to manipulate Johnny into performing a Heroic Sacrifice.
• Token Good Teammate: Among the Crime Syndicate, he's the only one who accepts to work with the heroes and save the world. He's also implied to be one member of the team who objected to the construction of the planet-destroying bomb in the first place.
• What You Are in the Dark: Villainous he might have been, Johnny rose to the challenge when the multiverse needed protection. He could even have let Batman through and stopped vibrating to strand him there. He kept going until Batman arrived safely back.

Power Ring

Power Ring (Harold Jordan)

Voiced by: Nolan North ^{Foreign VAs}Gérard Darier (FR)

---

• Pinball Protagonist: A villainous version. To the other members of the Syndicate, just like his Good Counterpart, he is the one that does the least.
• Ring of Power: This comes naturally with being a Green Lantern, his name is even Power Ring.

The Justice Underground

Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor

Voiced by: Chris Noth ^{Foreign VAs}Paul Borne (FR)

A heroic version of one of Superman's most dangerous and personal foes. The leader of a group of superheroes that resist the Crime Syndicate.

---

• Adaptational Nice Guy: He's genuinely heroic as opposed to being a morally grey anti-hero like the Antimatter Alexander Luthor that appeared in JLA: Earth-2.
• Bald of Authority: And Bald Head of Toughness, given he is both a superhero and the former leader of his own Justice League.
• Big Good: What Superman is for the League's universe, Lex is for his own, as the former leader of his own Justice League and after their collective demise, the last man left who still openly stands up to the Crime Syndicate rather than kowtowing to them out of fear. He is also the one who jumps to the League's universe to recruit them to aid his own; without him, they wouldn't have been in a position to save it.
• Bizarre Alien Biology: When Superman uses his X-Ray vision on him, he notices that Lex's internal organs are back-to-front, i.e. on the opposite side of where they would normally be on a human. Justified by him being from a Mirror Universe, so he's literally a mirror of the normal Lex Luthor as well as morally.
• Deadpan Snarker: Frequently. A case in point is when he goes to the police station and jokingly claims he'll destroy the world if the Justice League don't come to see him.
• Good Counterpart: To the League's Lex Luthor, who is a supervillain (as one would expect) currently serving time in Stryker Island Prison while this one is a hero. This Lex even jokingly refers to the other as his Evil Twin.
• Guile Hero: Fitting for a heroic Lex Luthor, he has no superpowers outside what his warsuit provides and fights using his wits and technology. Oh, and a little Blue Kryptonite doesn't hurt either.
• Naked People Are Funny: He completely strips down to show the Justice League he's not a threat to them — cue Flash joking about it, and Superman reminding him he needs pants.
• Primary-Color Champion: His warsuit is a mix of black and gold, a strong contrast to the colours used by evil Lexes.
• Sole Survivor: After the Jester's Heroic Sacrifice, he's the last surviving member of the Justice Underground.

The Jester

The Jester (Jax Napier)

Voiced by: James Patrick Stuart ^{Foreign VAs}Xavier Fagnon (FR)

The heroic counterpart of the Joker.

---

• Adaptation Name Change: The comics featured a heroic counterpart to the Joker from the Crime Syndicate's universe called the Jokester in Countdown to Final Crisis.
• Defiant to the End: His last line, as he is being impaled by a burning sword, is to crack a joke.
  Jester: Okay, okay! I'm down to my last joke, anyway. But this one'll kill ya. [detonates an explosive]
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: The Jokester was shot in the back by a rogue Monitor, while the Jester gives his life to enable his world's Luthor to escape from the Crime Syndicate.
• Face of a Thug: He still has the original Joker's rather unsettling visage, but he's a good dude.
• Good Counterpart: The mainstream Joker is a psychopathic killer. Jester shares the Monster Clown motif, but is a member of his universe's Justice League.
• Heroic Sacrifice: He gets killed by the Crime Syndicate so that Luthor can escape with the quantum trigger that they stole from the Syndicate's headquarters.
• Villainous Harlequin: Inverted. Despite dressing like a court jester, he's a hero.
• We Hardly Knew Ye: He gets about 2 minutes of screen time before he dies, killing 2 crime syndicate members with him.

Harley

Harley

Voiced by: N/A

The heroic counterpart of Harley Quinn. Also a monkey for some reason.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: It's not clear if the monkey actually is Harley Quinn's direct counterpart or if Harley Quinn's real counterpart died and the monkey was named in honor of her, considering that it's established that the Jester and heroic Lex Luthor are the only surviving heroes after the rest were wiped out by the Crime Syndicate.
• Good Counterpart: The Harley Quinn from the main universe is the Joker's Ax-Crazy girlfriend. This Harley is the pet of the Jester, a heroic member of the Justice Underground.
• Team Pet: Implied to be the mascot of the Justice Underground.

Others

Slade Wilson

President Slade Wilson

Voiced by: Bruce Davison ^{Foreign VAs}Michel Vigné (FR)

A famed war hero and a former government agent, now President of the United States.

---

• Action Politician: He's a war hero and joins the Marine assault on the Crime Syndicate HQ in the climax.
• Big Good: As the president of the United States and an ally of the Justice League and the Justice Underground, his threats of a nuclear attack are the one thing keeping the Crime Syndicate from seizing complete control over the world.
• Eyepatch of Power: One worn over his left eye, the reverse of Slade Wilson's usual appearance — fitting for a Mirror Universe.
• Good Counterpart: He's the Mirror Universe version of the deadly assassin Deathstroke, a supervillain who has fought many different superheroes and superteams over the years; here, instead of that, he's a decorated war hero and current President of the United States.
• Grew a Spine: At the beginning of the film, he allows the Crime Syndicate to do whatever they want out of fear of the destruction they'll cause. However after the syndicate tried to have his precious daughter killed, he finally gets fed up and brings the might of the U.S. military onto the criminals.
• The Lost Lenore: His wife is dead, and it's implied this is why he's so protective of Rose yet so reluctant to fight the Syndicate.
• Papa Wolf: Even if you're Ultraman, you will not threaten or harm the President's daughter. Having his daughter threatened by Ultraman is what finally motivates him to end his passivity and bring them down for good.
• The So-Called Coward: Martian Manhunter overhears Rose think that he is a war hero but has become a coward. He rebukes her for this, pointing out her father is concerned with safeguarding human life on Earth because he's fought in wars past.

Rose Wilson

Rose Wilson

Voiced by: Freddi Rogers ^{Foreign VAs}Claire Baradat (FR)

President Wilson's daughter.

---

• Adaptation Dye-Job: Her counterpart on the Justice League's Earth has snow-white hair. Here, it's auburn. Unlike Lex, Slade, and the Jester, she wouldn't be recognizable as Rose Wilson on looks alone.
• Nice Girl: Rose's most prominent trait is her altruism and desire to protect the weak, as she is willing to risk her own life to inspire the people to fight back against the Crime Syndicate.
• Odd Couple: With J'onn, who is a Martian and centuries older than she is (and could be considered middle-aged since he's old enough to be a father in Martian years).
