Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Crisis on Infinite Earths and Zero Hour!—these two series were massive crossovers and usually resulted in some form of Retcon for at least one character involved. Crisis was the big one, merging Earth-2 and Earth-1 together, bringing us into the newly established Post-Crisis era. Zero Hour… made Hal Jordan, the most popular Green Lantern, into a supervillain and mucked up continuity. What Identity Crisis brought was similar but definitely NOT what readers were expecting.As the story begins, Sue Dibny, the wife of the superhero the Elongated Man, is mysteriously murdered with her body set on fire while her husband is on stakeout. The Justice League investigates the scene of the murder, the Dibny household, and are bewildered by the lack of evidence to be found. While sending out most of the League and the Teen Titans to look for fire- and/or teleport-based villains, the core members of the League (minus Superman and Batman) secretly turn their attention to small-time villain Dr. Light (the male one, not to be confused with the woman superhero who debuted in the Crisis). But before they can confront him, Wally West and Kyle Rayner overhear the League's plans and demand to know why they are confronting Light.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })They reveal that years ago, Dr. Light managed to teleport to the League's satellite, discovered Sue alone, and proceeded to rape her. Light is stopped quickly, but he lustfully swears he will do it again as soon as he's released and in the meantime will tell all the other supervillains how he raped Elongated Man's wife. The League then decides to wipe his memory and change his personality so the threat is defused. In the present, Dr. Light discovers he's the League's target and hires Deathstroke, but in the tail end of the fight, Light regains his memories and escapes, revealing the truth in an optic construct only the Flash is fast enough to see. The Flash sees that Batman was there the night Sue was raped, but Zatanna mindwiped him as well when he tried to stop Dr. Light's mindwipe.Sue's autopsied, and it is revealed she didn't actually burn to death. Meanwhile, Jean Loring (ex-wife of Ray Palmer, aka The Atom) is nearly lynched by an unknown assailant, and Lois Lane is threatened by someone who knows she married Superman. Tim Drake goes through a parental struggle with his father, who knows Tim is Robin and wishes for his safety. Captain Boomerang reconnects with his bastard son and discovers he is a speedster. While the divorced Atom and Jean reconnect, Jack Drake, Tim's father, is sent a gun with a warning and attacked. Jack uses the gun to kill his attacker, Captain Boomerang, but is killed by one of Boomerang's weapons. Robin and Boomerang Jr. both lose their fathers, and the mystery is apparently solved… until the autopsy of Sue reveals tiny footprints in her brain, which really killed her. Batman learns of this and deduces also that the Atom didn't kill Sue, and we learn that Jean discovered one of Atom's spare suits. In an attempt to reconnect with Ray (her ex-husband), Jean tried to organize an illusion of a threat to superhero families, but accidentally killed Sue and hired the wrong assassin for Jack Drake. Ray commits Jean to Arkham Asylum, shrinks to a microscopic size, and disappears completely. In the end, the League is shaken up, it is implied by Green Arrow that Batman might know he was mind-wiped; Dr. Light regains his old personality, Boomerang's son becomes the new Captain Boomerang, and Ralph Dibny is now a widower.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })So in the end, where the Crisis and Zero Hour were large crossovers that involved retconning and large gigantic battles, Identity Crisis was much more low-key, being a quieter crossover that was instead a murder mystery. However, that is why fans would point to this book if a new reader ever asked for a good starting point to get into The DCU. The retcons were smaller, but a little obvious. Especially with the Justice League.Identity Crisis was directly followed by Infinite Crisis, which followed the typical format much more closely.Written by Brad Meltzer with art by Rags Morales. | |

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting | |
| Identity Crisis (Comic Book) / int_11bc87bc | comment |
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: According to the collected edition, Rags Morales did this with a number of characters, basing them on actors, singers, models, and other famous people, including... Elongated Man on Danny Kaye and Dick Van Dyke. Sue Dibny on Dawn Wells. Batman and Wizard on Tom Selleck, the former being ironic, considering Selleck is an avid gun collector and Batman infamously hates guns. Wonder Woman on B-film star Julie Strain. Barry Allen on John Hurt and Wally West on Brad Pitt. Hal Jordan on Pierce Brosnan. Green Arrow on Layne Staley. Black Canary on Rebecca Romjin and former Catwoman Michelle Pfeiffer. Ray Palmer on a young Paul Newman. Jean Loring on Lesley Ann Warren. Zatanna on Phoebe Cates. Vixen was originally supposed to be based on actress and singer Grace Jones, but ended up being based on Geena Davis—despite Davis not being black. Nightwing on Johnny Depp. Starfire on model Naomi Campbell. Felix Faust on Leonard Nimoy. Merlyn on Ricardo Montalbán. Captain Boomerang on porn star Ron Jeremy and Jackie Martling. Owen was based on Justin Timberlake and James Dean. Firehawk on Patty Hearst. Mirror Master on Eric Roberts, who does have DC experience, playing Sal Maroni in The Dark Knight and voicing Mongul on Justice League. Calculator on James Woods, who'd since voiced Batman's Mirror Universe counterpart Owlman in Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. Shining Knight on John Cleese. Phobia and Dr. Moon on, respectively, Carolyn Jones and Jerry Lewis. Chronos was based on NY Yankees manager Joe Torre. | |

Darker and Edgier: With the DCU already being darker and edgier in most places, one might say that Identity Crisis is far more realistic. The heroes and villains are weaker than usual and the fight scenes don't last for too long. | |

Mythology Gag: If you look closely at Sue's funeral, you can see Jack Knight standing next to Stargirl. This is actually Jack's last known appearance after retiring at the end of his series; as the Dibnys were key characters in Starman, it's fitting to have him here. He's pointedly not in his old uniform. | |

It also deconstructs the idea of the supposedly super-prepared Batman "vs. The Justice League." The fight is no fight at all with Batman quickly dogpiled and overpowered, even by heroes who don't have superpowers. | |

Keeping Secrets Sucks | |
| Identity Crisis (Comic Book) / int_4215e3e | comment |
Keeping Secrets Sucks: Wally The Flash West finds this out in the end when he keeps quiet about the Justice League's mind rapes on villains and especially the one on Batman. Wally considers the mind rapes immoral and that they ought to be disclosed, but he's also very aware that if Batman ever finds out for sure what really happened, it would probably bring about the JLA's breakup as well as possible trouble for half its well-intentioned members. You can see in Wally's final panel in the story that the dilemma is eating him inside. | |

| Identity Crisis (Comic Book) / int_43a045de | comment |
Dropped a Bridge on Him: Firestorm's death really comes out of nowhere, has no bearing on the plot, and seems only to exist so that a superhero dies in the book to give it more dramatic weight. Then it never gets mentioned again in the book after the one page scene. The event was later followed up on in Manhunter, where the League tracks down his killer, but most people didn't know about that tie-in. According to Firestorm Fan: | |

I Never Said It Was Poison: In the last issue, Ray Palmer relaxes with Jean Loring. Jean offhandedly asks about where a certain note (which warned of Captain Boomerang's impending attempt on Jack Drake's life) came from. Ray, horrified, knows Batman had confiscated the note before it could get in the news. When he grills Jean about this, she confesses to killing Sue and hiring Boomerang and Calculator. | |

Deathstroke the Terminator goes from a Crazy-Prepared, highly trained and slightly augmented badass to a superhuman with reflexes that can allow him to "surprise" The Flash with a sword thrust behind Slade's back.

Meaningful Background Event: When Dr. Light suddenly recovers his memory in the middle of a fight he flashbacks to the Justice League Tower where he's overpowered by all the League's members present. It's the very same scene that was shown when Green Arrow flashbacks the event for Wally West, the difference is that in Dr. Light's flashback, Batman is also included in the melée.

Stuck in Their Shadow | |
| Identity Crisis (Comic Book) / int_62f5731e | comment |
More broadly, this deconstructs the hierarchy within the JLA, the role played by the "lower-ranked" heroes, and their feelings about that. It also discusses Elongated Man's feelings about being in the Flash's shadow, and how his love for Sue is in great part due to the fact that she looked passed Barry and preferred him instead. | |

Forgot About His Powers | |
| Identity Crisis (Comic Book) / int_650a309b | comment |
Forgot About His Powers: So many in the fight with Deathstroke. Wally West forgets everything he can do aside from "run fast". Using the Speed Force to speed up his perceptions? Forgotten, unless he wanted to run into a sword. Stealing speed? Gone. Using his healing factor? Gone. Just making a tornado to blow Slade away? Gone. Kyle forgets that his ring's entire point is to be a ranged weapon. He doesn't just not create constructs, he also doesn't even bother with lasers or containment bubbles. Black Canary forgets her Canary Cry can destroy steel and also all of her martial arts training. | |

Covers Always Lie | |

Covers Always Lie: The JLA "Big Three"—Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman—are center stage of the cover for the first issue, but these heroes (with the partial exception of Batman) are very peripheral to the story. The cover for issue number 4 shows Wonder Woman alone and front and center, but she only appears for two pages, and even then we only get to see part of her hip, a hand, and her lasso. | |

Villain Decay: League members lampshade and reconstruct this trope in explaining how they caused Dr. Light to go from being a threatening villain to a total joke and, by the end, back again. Bolt decays to the point of being shot and severely injured by two petty under-aged street thugs. | |

Freak Out | |
| Identity Crisis (Comic Book) / int_7fbe9a30 | comment |
Freak Out!: You can pinpoint the moment when Jean snaps completely in the flashback after she accidentally kills Sue (originally wanting only to attack but not seriously injure her), in a single facial expression hyperventilating and sobbing while grinning maniacally, preparing to burn Sue in order to cover it up. Her resulting complete insanity results in two more deaths. | |

Open Secret: Green Arrow implies that Superman may or may not be aware of the lobotomies that the Justice League has performed (see Weirdness Censor). As Owen Mercer questions why he sees Batman at the Drake household, the policeman accompanying Batman denies that he's there, even when Bats is right there in the middle of everyone in plain sight. | |

The issue closes with Ray Palmer and Jean Loring together, Ray wearing a very sinister-looking smile on his face. The next issue reveals that it was Jean, not Ray, who was the culprit. | |

Deconstruction | |
| Identity Crisis (Comic Book) / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: of the Silver Age JLA. It fills in the blanks between adventures to explain the measures necessary to clean up after defeating supervillain schemes and restoring the status quo. They specifically reference an occasion when the Secret Society of Supervillains took control of the JLA's bodies and (likely) learned their secret identities. How do you think the heroes averted Death by Secret Identity for the villains? Green Arrow further suggests that Superman and Batman knowingly look the other way and don't ask questions about how the League's B-Squad does its clean-up. More broadly, this deconstructs the hierarchy within the JLA, the role played by the "lower-ranked" heroes, and their feelings about that. It also discusses Elongated Man's feelings about being in the Flash's shadow, and how his love for Sue is in great part due to the fact that she looked passed Barry and preferred him instead. It also deconstructs the idea of the supposedly super-prepared Batman "vs. The Justice League." The fight is no fight at all with Batman quickly dogpiled and overpowered, even by heroes who don't have superpowers. | |

Took a Level in Badass: Deathstroke the Terminator goes from a Crazy-Prepared, highly trained and slightly augmented badass to a superhuman with reflexes that can allow him to "surprise" The Flash with a sword thrust behind Slade's back. That would be the Wally West Flash who once had time slow to a standstill when a sniper's bullet touched his neck. This series revamped the Calculator into Oracle's Evil Counterpart. The series also returned Dr. Light to a credible threat. | |

Death by Secret Identity | |
| Identity Crisis (Comic Book) / int_9e0d9594 | comment |
Death by Secret Identity: We learn that during The Silver Age of Comic Books and The Golden Age of Comic Books, villains learned superheroes' secret identities all the time. Heroes toed the line of the Moral Event Horizon by using Zatanna to make them forget, and neglecting to tell the more principled heroes; such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman; who are also implied to have an inkling that something fishy is going on, but refuse to investigate why villains mysteriously keep forgetting their identities. | |

| Identity Crisis (Comic Book) / int_c446f93c | comment |
Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: A nuclear-powered character (Firestorm) is skewered by a sword. He has to fly off to prevent himself from killing his allies, as "They all know what happens when you puncture a nuclear reactor", and he is shown exploding. Except, as Greg Morrow notes, not much actually happens if you puncture a nuclear reactor. (Further flavoring the inaccuracy stew is that the character's powers were never shown to work that way previously; he had nuclear abilities, but was not a "nuclear reactor".) | |

Lower-Deck Episode: The important role played by the League’s B-squad members is front and center, particularly regarding post-conflict clean-up operations. It also shows some of the dynamics within the group and the true origins of the animosity between Green Arrow and Hawkman. In addition, besides Wonder Woman’s eulogy of Sue and Batman’s lead role in investigating Sue’s death and the revelation that he too was mind-wiped, the JLA “Big Three” barely appear in any of the issues. | |
