Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, the latest direct-to-DVD offering from DC Entertainment and Warner Premiere, is possibly the best animated movie yet featuring DC characters.

Twenty Years! It’s hard for me to believe that the Simpsons have been on television for more than twenty years now. The show surpassed Gunsmoke as the longest running show in television history and it’s still running – admittedly not as strong as it used to be.
