comment |
America vs. the Justice Society is a four-issue mini-series published in 1985 by DC Comics. It is written by Roy Thomas, with artwork by Rafael Kayanan, Rich Buckler, and Jerry Ordway, among others. It was considered canon up until Crisis on Infinite Earths, which was released that same year.In the story, a secret diary published by the Earth-2 Batman sometime prior to his death accuses his former allies, the Justice Society of America, of being collaborators with the Nazis during World War II. With some help by the younger members of the team, the Justice Society go to court to determine the validity of this "diary" and what purpose it was actually created for. |

Card-Carrying Villain: Or at least, "Card-Carrying Lunatic" - Degaton suspects that O'Fallon's attempts to defame the JSA are because he didn't think the former was crazy enough to actually try to attack them again. |

Arbitrary Skepticism: Senator Hopkins criticizes some of the JSA's cases as far-fetched (the JSA fought fairies?), Wonder Woman counters by asking if they are more ridiculous than an amazon princess like herself, an extra-terrestrial from a doomed planet (Superman), or a ring giving magical powers (Green Lantern). |

The Slow Path: Degaton is currently unable to time travel due to the loss of Zee's time machine, and so must wait until it returns, which happens to be the day of the trial. In the meantime, he busied with himself with less far-out crimes like getting involved in the Injustice Society or teaming up with Brainwave, which led to his imprisonment. |

Split Personality: Evidently this is what happened to Commissioner Bruce Wayne in his final months. Dying of cancer, he learns of Per Degaton's future plans of world conquest on the 100th birthday of the missing Professor Zee. Knowing he will die before that date happens, but still too hostile to the JSA to inform them of his suspicions, Bruce's subconscious took over as the Batman, writing the Diary and giving it to Dr. Nichols under the promise that it will be released to the public near Degaton's planned date. |

We Used to Be Friends: While only an honorary member, Batman used to be part of the JSA only for his growing paranoia to drive a wedge between them, even going as far as paroling Per Degaton due to what he saw as his 'mistreatment' by the JSA. Nonetheless, the JSA still sees him as a great man, and he may have gotten over his hangup eventually since he died in costume. |

Not to give him some kind of epiphany, mind you; He just wanted to rub it in his face that he collaborated with him over something that wasn't true. |

Big Bad Duumvirate: O'Fallon takes advantage of the doubt resulting from Batman's diary to incite a Kangaroo Court to frame the JSA, because he just knows they killed his dad. Meanwhile, there's Per Degaton, who is otherwise uninvolved with the proceedings but ultimately turns out to be Batman's real target when writing the diary and who the JSA have to stop from potentially disrupting the timeline yet again. They're only technically a duumvirate because O'Fallon was funding Degaton's laboratory as an Enemy Mine in case the trial didn't work out. Big Bad Wannabe: O'Fallon is just a normal guy, albeit deluded and wanting to take down the JSA. He helplessly watches as the JSA win back public support and is then confronted by Degaton, who gives him an Eviler than Thou speech and promises to grant him his revenge by killing the JSA... and plunging the world into the dark ages too, while he's at it. |

Time Travel |
| America vs. the Justice Society (Comic Book) / int_9d6427ec |
comment |
Time Travel: An essential part of the story. Professor Zee intended to travel in time to the point of his 100th birthday and then return back to his own time in 1947, but Per Degaton shot the professor, intending to take his time machine so that he could conquer the world. However, the professor fell into the machine and inadvertently activated it, sending him into the future. Per Degaton was waiting for the moment that the professor would re-emerge from his time travel for years, still intending to use the machine for his evil purposes. Apparently Batman figured this out, and so he wrote the diary with the purpose of having the Justice Society apprehend Per Degaton at the moment Professor Zee would appear to finger his former assistant as his murderer. |

Alternate History |

comment |
Alternate History: On Earth-2, Senator Joseph McCarthy died in a car crash in 1951, and thus his place was taken by Senator O'Fallon, who focused his lens on the Justice Society and tried to force them to unmask publicly. In All-Star Squadron Annual 3, the JSA was unable to prevent the murder of an innocent child by Ian Karkull's plans. So the citizens of Earth-2 now live in an Alternate History of what their original timeline should've been; the child would've grown up to become a U.S. president. It was not stated outright who it was in the original story, but it is confirmed in this one. |

Hoist by His Own Petard: The Brainwave mined the approaches to his lair with explosives to prevent the Justice Society members from rescuing their captured companions. Johnny Thunder's Thunderbolt gets through, though, and ends up replanting the explosives under the Brainwave's tower, so when he pushed the detonator plunger, he blew up his own lair instead. Degaton slipped up and made jokes referencing the Hundred-Year Club or living to a hundred one too many times in front of Bruce while he was getting paroled. If he had kept his mouth shut, Wayne would likely not have suspected him of being involved in the Professor's disappearance, which was what motivated him to write the diary and culminated in Robin and the JSA confronting him. |

Red Herring: With Degaton being seen lurking in the shadows watching the trial, the reader might think he's responsible for the events in some way. He's not; while he's revealed to have collaborated with the man creating this media circus, he's entirely uninvolved, and in fact, he sees the trail as a potential risk to his plans. The only reason he's watching at all is because he's biding his time waiting for Zee to arrive in the present and because he's hoping the JSA really will get locked up. |

Dick stands with Batman's accusation that the JSA were Nazis, even if it means condemning his teammates. Helena stands with the JSA and their innocence, even if it means condemning her father as a liar. Dick is Denying the Dead Parent's Sins, believing his late mentor was in the right, regardless of what he wrote, while Helena is Parents as People, knowing her father had flaws, such as an irrational hatred for the JSA near the end of his life. Fortunately, the revelations reconcile the two. |

Running Gag: At least three times in Wonder Woman's retelling of Per Degaton's exploits, whenever he is made to forget those events, he ends up talking to Professor Zee about having dreams of being the ruler of the world, and Professor Zee responds by telling him to clean up his test tubes. This is a nod to the ending of all JSA stories where Degaton tries to alter the past, as they always have this exact conversation, with the same panel either redrawn or at least quoted. However, the Running Gag gets Running Gagged in this story, where Degaton's fate is rather different... |

Last Words: Dick gets to see Professor Zee's last words as he accuses his assistant of his murder before passing away from blood loss. It would've been enough to put Degaton behind bars again, if not for the latter being Driven to Suicide. |
