Back in September, DC’s animated studio announced that after Batman/Superman: Public Enemies and Green Lantern: First Flight, the next film they would be taking on was an adaptation of DC’s alternate universes storyline, and a little bit of their “Crisis” plot. The film would be a hybrid of the two, focusing more on the alternate universe where the Justice League is an evil gang called the Crime Syndicate.

Much like DC’s other animated films, this project pulled no punches with their voice talent. With names like James Woods as Owlman, William Baldwin as Batman, Gina Torres as Super Woman, Mark Harmon as Superman, and even Erica Durance as Lois Lane, the film will be packed with plenty of talent.

The fllm is set to hit DVD and Blu-Ray on February 23rd, but before that even comes, the very first clip has hit the net, featuring the Justice League facing off against some alternate universe baddies. We were able to pick out evil Elongated Man (with a mohawk), evil Black Lighting (with bell-bottoms) and even evil Vixen (with pigtails).

Check out the clip after the jump, and let us know if we missed anybody.
