Justice League: Doom

The end of justice.

RELEASED 28 Feb 20121h 17m★ 7.4 TMDB

An adaptation of Mark Waid's "Tower of Babel" story from the JLA comic. Vandal Savage steals confidential files Batman has compiled on the members of the Justice League, and learns all their weaknesses.

Why it matters in DC

The theft of Batman's contingency files turns his preparations into a threat to his teammates. The film matters as an examination of trust within the Justice League: knowing how to defeat an ally can protect the world and endanger the partnership at the same time.
