The Justice League is an organization comprised of the world's greatest superheroes. Together, they act as stalwart protectors of all sentient life dedicated to fighting crime and injustice, and act as Earth's first line of defense from terrestrial, extra-terrestrial and inter-dimensional threats.

Biography

The Justice League first formed when Starro had been terrorizing the Amazon Rainforest. The heroes that later formed it banded together and defeated Starro. The resulting damage to the rainforest itself sparked controversy from scientists such as Bella Garten and Tobias Manning. The city of Metropolis had granted the heroes use of a derelict train station that would later be converted into the Hall of Justice. It would be in the inner sanctum that they first agreed to form the Justice League. Since then, the inner sanctum of the Hall of Justice would serve as the nerve center of the league, where they would plan for threats too large for any one of them to face alone.

Before Kill the Justice League Incident

Sometime during the 5 years before the invasion of Metropolis by Brainiac, the Justice League had fought the Sinestro Corps and Batman recovered a yellow lantern from the aftermath of the fight for his contingency plan against Green Lantern. The Justice League also prevented a natural disaster caused by persons unknown, causing the destruction of a stump house in the process.

Kill the Justice League Incident

Five years later, after Brainiac’s arrival to Earth, the League was extremely cautious, but Superman was optimistic that he could be dealt with peacefully. Brainiac took advantage of this and invited them aboard his ship, only to reveal his true intentions upon their arrival. He intended to brainwash them and have them serve as his lieutenants. He attempted to convince them to join, only for Flash and Wonder Woman to escape. Green Lantern, Superman and Batman were able to resist the mind control attempts, forcing Brainiac to capture them and clone them. The clones would have their memories of the originals, leading the public to believe that they truly had been brainwashed. Even the league believed that they had been brainwashed while imprisoned. Ultimately the Flash was recaptured and subsequently cloned. Amanda Waller, believing them to be the originals, issued a kill order against them.

Using technology created to counter the cloned hero's abilities, or in the cloned Batman's case, having his own Fear Toxin turned against him, the Suicide Squad successfully managed to kill the cloned members of the League one by one, except for Wonder Woman, though she was killed by the Superman clone. Currently the bodies of the dead clones, were collected by Brainiac and taken back to the Skull Ship for unknown reasons.

However, it has been revealed that the Flash is still alive after the squad saved him and is currently recovering at the hands of Task Force X, indicating that the rest of the League is alive and well, but held captive by Brainiac. Later on, the squad rescued Green Lantern with the help of Lawless, Lantern is currently recovering at the hands of Task Force X. believing that Batman and Superman are still alive, but still captured by Brainiac. Finally, the squad, with the help of Deathstroke, the Flash, and Green Lantern, defeat Brainiac once and for all, as well as rescue Batman and Superman. The squad learns that the League members killed were all evil clones created by Brainiac, while the real ones were his prisoners the whole time. Afterwards, the Squad secretly have Hack and Toyman remotely disable the nanobombs in their heads, freeing them from Waller's control. Brainiac is left in Waller's custody, while the League go off to atone for the actions their clones committed.

Trivia

Batman is known to have an interactive exhibit in Metropolis known as "The Batman Experience" that gives visitors an abridged look into four specific moments in Bruce's life as Batman, these being the night Joker took over Arkham Asylum, the night Joker died in Arkham City, Scarecrow's and the Arkham Knight's attack on Gotham resulting in Batman's identity being revealed and finally the day Superman offered Bruce Wayne a place within the Justice League, resulting in Bruce coming back into the public eye as Batman.
- Wonder Woman likewise has an exhibit outside the Hall of Justice to referencing her heritage, while Superman has a golden statue dedicated to him in Centennial Park.
In the Arkhamverse currently only five known heroes make up the Justice League, with no indication that other superheroes such as regular League members Aquaman and Martian Manhunter are either a part of or are being considered to join the League.
On Earth-2, Hal Jordan and Wally West replace John and Barry in the League, while Diana is their leader instead of Superman.
The Flash, Green Lantern, Superman, and Batman are alive after the Suicide Squad saved them from Brainiac, although Wonder Woman is deceased.
Everyone on the League is called a metahuman, however only the Flash can be considered an actual metahuman:
- Batman is the only "normal" human on the team, possessing no superhuman powers and relies on gadgets and his own skills when fighting crime.
- Green Lantern's powers come from his ring, a piece of alien technology.
- Superman is an alien whose powers come from being exposed to Earth's yellow sun.
- Wonder Woman is a demigod, being the only one born with her powers without having to go through a process to gain them.
Batman had a hard time adjusting to being part of the League, with Superman and Wonder Woman advising him to not take all burdens on himself and to have faith in the team. However, he is more willing to work with the League and as part of a team overall, after having pushed away members of the Bat Family during the City of Fear incident.
It was speculated that a new Wonder Woman would be found in one of the Elseworlds, as there is a vacancy with the Earth-1 variant being dead. She blew away as ashes, with it unlikely Brainiac could have saved any genetic material to bring her back. However, with the release of the final update, this speculation doesn't occur.
