Justice is a 12-issue limited series published by DC Comics from 2005-2007, created by Jim Krueger, Alex Ross, and Doug Braithwaite. It's a departure from normal continuity, but not quite an Elseworld story. It takes the concepts of the DC Comics characters as they were in the Silver and Bronze Ages and writes a new story using them. The plot concerns the villains reforming and using their abilities to help mankind. Naturally, it's not all as it seems, as the entire plot to "help" humanity requires the use of Brainiac's Mind Control worms. It's up to the assorted superhero teams (Justice League, Doom Patrol, Teen Titans, Metal Men) to save the day.Notable for being very idealistic on the sliding scale, while not veering into Lighter and Softer or Camp territory. It's almost a higher-quality Superfriends.Not to be confused with The New Universe comic of the same name. Or the French electronic band. Or the DC game/comic series Injustice. | |

| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: While having the reputation of being Lighter and Softer than the current DCU, the straightforward story is still fairly chilling compared to Superfriends (its main inspiration), and some aspects of the story are heavy-duty Nightmare Fuel. | |

Exactly What I Aimed At | |

Exactly What I Aimed At: When the mind-controlled Supergirl is holding several heroes hostage, Green Arrow fires a glowing green arrow at her, which Black Canary says is kryptonite. Supergirl easily sidesteps the shot, then mocks them for telegraphing what they're doing out loud. Arrow retorts, "Superhearing that my arrow was tipped with kryptonite doesn't mean it is." Cue John Stewart retrieving his power ring from the arrow and then freeing the controlled heroes. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_173909 | comment |
Brainwashed and Crazy: At certain points in the story, Batman, Captain Marvel, and the entire Teen Titans become mind-controlled henchmen, and even poor Alfred gets in on the action. In the final act, most of the second generation of heroes — Supergirl, Batgirl, Robin, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, Captain Marvel Jr., and Mary Marvel — were mind-controlled by Brainiac's worms and forced to fight the older heroes, and its even implied that some of the villains are only doing as much as they did for Brainiac and Luthor due to being subtly mind-controlled themselves. | |

Cardboard Prison: Arkham Asylum, as usual. Lampshaded by the Joker◊. Captain Marvel expresses incredulity it's been able to hold Doctor Sivana, for very good reasons. For starters, Sivana can walk through walls. Had he been lucid, it's likely he would have been out before breakfast. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: Lots: The Joker's outrage over not being included with the Legion of Doom. In Superfriends, the Joker was supposed to be a part of the Legion of Doom, but thanks to Executive Meddling, it never happened. Ironically, the same exact plot happened in Infinite Crisis, which released at the same time. Dr. Sivana's sidelining may be a similar in-joke; the initial pitch for the Legion of Doom had him as leader - probably to celebrate DC's recent acquisition of the rights to Shazam! — instead of Luthor. Dr. Sivana's role also possibly references the unseen scientist Dr. Natas in the episode "Superfriends: Rest in Peace". References to Lois Lane's interview with Superman in the first Superman movie. Toyman (Winslow Schott) builds a giant robot resembling the Jack Nimball version. One of Brainiac's experiments, a white monkey with a computer brain attached to its head, resembles Koko, Brainiac's pet "space monkey" from the pre-Crisis Superman comics. Ray Palmer wears a suit of armor that's identical to the Silver Age Atomic Knight (Gardner Grayle). Hawkman and Hawkwoman's armor suits resemble the Thanagarian deities from Legend of the Hawkman. You can see the original Batman costume in the Batcave. The one from before Bill Finger. In addition, Batman's armored suit resembles the Batmobile's design from Batman (1966). As is noted in the story, the mind-control drones are based off of Mister Mind. Luthor stealing them form Sivana and using them for mind-control was done before in Kingdom Come, which also had Ross in the creative team. Supergirl wears her classic Silver Age "hot pants" costume. Priscilla Rich performs a ritual in order to become the Cheetah again, similar to the Barbara Ann Minerva version. Zatanna's suit of armor resembles a silver-colored version of her Bronze Age costume. Once again, the Phantom Stranger briefly being an official JLA member comes back to save the team, as it did in JLA/Avengers. Black Canary is widowed before she joins the Justice League and fell in love with Green Arrow in this story, similar to pre-Crisis continuity. It's unclear if her husband was Larry Lance or Craig Windrow. Wonder Woman's armored suit resembles her biker suit from Wonder Woman (1975). Riddler's Freudian Excuse comes from his appearance in the 1980s The Question series, which never really caught on, continuity moving back towards his classic origin. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Black Manta's mooks, once freed from his mind-control, flat-out refuse to obey his order to kill Aquaman's son. This was the reason Brainiac hit Dr. Sivana with the mind-control worms. Sivana found out about Brainiac's real plan and objected to it, so Brainiac injected him with the worms to keep him from alerting the Justice League. | |

Anti-Interference Lock Up: The bad guys have to get very creative in locking away Green Lantern because his ring is pretty much the only effective countermeasure against Brainiac's mind-control bugs. As they cannot just kill him (because then his ring would just pass on to the next GL candidate), they instead teleport him outside the confines of the known universe — so far that even his ring wouldn't have the energy to bring him back or even to contact other Green Lanterns. | |

Go Mad from the Isolation | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_4f3c14ca | comment |
Go Mad from the Isolation: After Sinestro teleports him to the farthest reaches of space, with his ring is unable to determine where he is and how he can get back, Hal Jordan has the ring store his being within itself to keep him alive indefinitely. Inside the ring, Hal occupies himself by creating illusions, first of a city full of people (who disappear when he isn't looking at them) and then of people from his life (who confront him about his failings) — eventually leaving him in a Black Bug Room of sorts as he succumbs to despair. By the time that the Phantom Stranger rescues him, Hal has almost completely lost it, having regressed back to childhood. | |

Body Horror | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Giganta's growth powers are rendered rather disturbingly. As is Clayface, who has a disturbingly human looking face in the middle of his blobbish form. The result of Cheetah's poisoning of Wonder Woman by the end. Not quite shown, but Zatanna's reaction to finding Aquaman with most of his encephalitic cavity exposed and part of his brain missing speaks volumes. Turns out the merman is still alive even after that. Not to mention what happened to Martian Manhunter in the nightmare. | |

Bait-and-Switch: A very clever tactic on the Justice League's part; when several of the heroes attacked the villains while wearing Powered Armor composed from the shape-shifting Metal Men, Parasite saw one Flying Brick wearing armor made from Lead and featuring Superman's distinctive S-shield and tried to take him down with Kryptonite. Turns out he was really attacking Captain Marvel, who impersonated Superman to draw out any Kryptonite users. Superman himself was wearing Gold. Oliver Queen pulls this on a controlled Supergirl, telling Dinah he's shooting a Kryptonite arrow at her. Supergirl naturally dodges it and snarks that Oliver should have remembered her superhearing. Oliver shoots back just because he said it was a Kryptonite arrow didn't mean it was. Cue John Stewart recovering his Green Lantern ring from the arrow. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: Batman has an epiphany that Superman's methods are somewhat compatible with his "fight evil through fear" philosophy. The crime rate in Metropolis dropped dramatically ever since Superman revealed his powers, most importantly X-Ray Vision and Super-Hearing, in an interview. Batman concludes that this news has left the criminals too scared to try anything, since Supes would immediately find them. He then congratulates Supes on using fear to its fullest potential, but his reasoning only leaves Superman confused. Subverted with Black Manta. Aquaman calls him out on his claims that his motive is revenge for the black people's slavery and discrimination by pointing out that Manta is using mind-control to enslave his minions (all black) into serving him. Manta comments on the irony, then says he doesn't care and keeps attacking. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: In the beginning, Hal Jordan is shot by Sinestro into nowhere. Since his ring is unable to determine where Hal is and how he can get back, Hal transfers himself into the ring to survive — a process that can only be undone from outside. To make things worse, Hal becomes absorbed by the world and memories he sees inside the ring. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_a939a527 | comment |
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Brainiac's pupils are bright red and have a tendency to glint ominously in shadow, accentuating the villain's already creepy appearance. Superman's eyes glow red when he is facing his enemies. Supergirl's eyes glow red when she is about to blast Green Arrow and Black Canary, and when she burns Poison Ivy's plants and blasts her. | |

Sadistic Choice: The Legion of Doom brainwashed the younger heroes -Supergirl, Batgirl, the Teen Titans, and the Marvel family — and kidnapped the relatives and friends of the Leaguers. Superman put it best: they were never frightened of dying while doing what is right... but can they risk their families and friends' lives for the sake of a mass of strangers? | |

Subverted with Black Manta.

Manta comments on the irony, then says he doesn't care and keeps attacking. | |

This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_cce399 | comment |
This Looks Like a Job for Aquaman: Brainiac discusses and subverts this trope when operating on Aquaman by explaining that, though Aquaman’s powers are sometimes under-appreciated, he believes his telepathic powers are among the most impressive in the JLA. Considering Brainiac is talking to and about Aquaman himself, this may be an attempt to discredit this trope. The trope is played more straight — though while still demonstrating Brainiac's point — when Aquaman is able to contact the sea creatures to make a gigantic X pointing to his location large enough to be seen from the Justice League satellite. Good thing Aquaman was being held underwater. | |

Aquaman calls him out on it. Similarly, Lex Luthor believes that humanity is growing too complacent and dependent on the godlike alien Superman. So he sells them out to a different godlike alien, Brainiac. | |

Plot-Irrelevant Villain | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_f010eba7 | comment |
Plot-Irrelevant Villain: The Joker's influence in the plot is as follows: he is not taken by Brainiac when he springs all other bad guys from the Asylum, calling him irrelevant as an excuse, the Joker gets out of the Asylum by himself and sneaks into Brainiac's compound and blows a significant chunk of it to kingdom come in revenge, and kills Scarecrow when he's trying to escape. That is it. And the "blowing up Brainiac's stuff" part is just adding insult to injury because at that exact same moment the Legion of Doom is getting its ass kicked by the Justice League. | |

Insult Backfire | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_f6f2ff1 | comment |
Insult Backfire: Although the intent is not quite to insult, in issue #7, the Chief responds to Martian Manhunter's theory about the intent of Brainiac's experiments by telling him that he's "thinking too much like an Earthman". J'onn thanks the Chief for the compliment. | |

Downer Beginning | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_f88f2449 | comment |
Downer Beginning: The story begins with a dream about the world exploding from nuclear explosions, with Superman being the only survivor. On their selfish plan to avert that, the villains steal Batman's data on the heroes' identities, putting so many of them out of commission that backup members of the Justice League become needed to save the day. | |

Victory by Endurance | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_f962d8a3 | comment |
Victory by Endurance: In the final battle, Hal Jordan faces Sinestro. Eventually, Hal reveals that he's not using his own ring, but Sinestro's spare ring, with a chunk of blue kryptonite on it to make it look green (yellow + blue= green). Hal could either defeat Sinestro normally, or wait until both rings were depleted (they drew on the same power battery). Option 2 happens, and Hal defeats Sinestro with his fists. The blue kryptonite, meanwhile, was used to great effect against Bizarro. | |

Evil Is Petty | |
| Justice (DC Comics) (Comic Book) / int_fe64d5a1 | comment |
Evil is Petty: The Joker, as always: when Brainiac doesn't recruit him for his Legion of Doom, not seeing how getting him would be in any way useful, the Joker's response is to escape Arkham Asylum, sneak into the Legion's compound, and blow a significant chunk of it to smithereens in revenge, adding insult to injury during the climactic battle. And kill Scarecrow because it's the one member of the Legion he meets as they wander through the compound's corridors. | |

Last-Second Chance: Wonder Woman tried to reach out to Cheetah several times, but when they fight in issue 12, Diana makes very clear that she has run out of patience and Cheetah has no shots at redemption left. | |
