Are we just ignoring the glaringly obvious similarities between this and Infinity War? I don’t know which story actually came first, and I definitely enjoyed this as I do all of DC/WB animated movies, but c’mon….Monitor is Thanos…the people dematerializing… the gathering of all the superheroes to fight it… There is so much source material to draw from than to be ripping basic ideas.

“Crisis on Infinite Earths” (DC) storyline began in ‘85 while the “The Infinity Gauntlet”(MC) (1st in a trilogy) storyline began in ‘91 and both preceded by “Secret Wars” (MC) in ‘84.
All with a similar type story elements, multi-verse/fate of the Univers/fighting extremely powerful beings etc.
These are just a few of the popular storylines from comics that are similar to, if not complete rip-offs, of other comics and I have no doubt that there were many others both before these and after.
All the original stories were told long ago around a campfire to people using sharpened sticks and bones for tools and weapons.
