It’s happened again.

Once more, a high-octane, animated feature based on a popular comic-book franchise has burst onto the scene and, once more, the honors go to DC Comics. 

Not too far behind the successful SUPERMAN/BATMAN:  PUBLIC ENEMIES, comes a tale spanning the DC cosmos itself.  JUSTICE LEAGUE:  CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS  was released on DVD and Blu-ray on February 23.  It is an epic that brings to light the prospect that the world, indeed, the very universe in which the Justice League resides does not stand alone.  Beyond the ethereal veil are other continuums – complete with individual differences that set each apart from the next.  Some of these differences are subtle, some overt.  Some are strangely parallel to the Earth called home by the likes of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and other, well-known icons.  The story concerns a clash between a handful of first-tier Justice Leaguers and a counterpart team of villains known as the Crime Syndicate.

Gary Oldman and Juliet Landau have a few things in common.

Both are well-known actors. Both have played vampires. Both have also lent their voices for animated features.

Now, there’s another title they have in common: director.

He directed a music video for Chutzpah, a Jewish hip-hop group, but made it unique by using only cell-phone cameras (Nokia N93 cellphone, by the way). He then asked Juliet to direct a "behind the scenes" feature on how it was done.

It later developed into a 25-minute documentary called "Take Flight" where we see how the video is done, but also get some insight through Oldman’s eyes. How this is illustrated is just as fascinating, thanks to Juliet.
