Also, modified into a really great movie. I'll warn you in advance. It's not exactly the same, but I still enjoyed it a lot.

Justice League #1 Reeboot

    In the world of geeky comic fandom, there's a lot of controversy. Most of which stems from external media sources, i.e. Diehard Batman fans attempting to swallow the movie the Dark knight. However once in a while the actual writers will do something so stupid (The infinite number of crisis that coccured, including "Infinite Crises", in the DC universe) that people get angry. The latest of those crazy things was (In all caps represents yelling) DC RE-BOOTED THE ENTIRE COMPANY! Everything started over! The first of the baby comics that i've read, was The Justice League #1.

     Now I'm going to be honest, when I picked this up, I had a negative notion to begin with. But the odd thing is I really didn't mind it. Like all new series there were good and bad things, but lets focus on the good. In the original justice league appearance (The Brave and the Bold #28) it was far to campy to take the formation seriously. In this, characters such as Batman, The Green Lantern, and Superman, all have an actual personality. Batman with the brooding, GL with the arrogance, and Superman with the, well... Supermanlyness.
     The story of this comic, revolves around two things. The formation of the league, and the introduction to a new villain. In this comic, I feel it should be noted, you only meet four members of the league. Batman, the Green Lantern, Victor Stone (Cyborg), and Superman. The Green Lantern Is in patrol in Gotham based on reports of an extra terrestrial threat. He is then approached by The Batman, who is both condescending and judgmental, and knows Hal by name. They are then confronted by what appears to be a cyborg lizard man. They chase it into the sewers to confront it and it shouts Hail darksied, and detonates a bomb blowing the sewer. So in this, they are introduced to the Leagues most dangerous foe, unknowingly. The two survive through Green Lantern's ring.
                                 Batman interrogates Darksied's minion
   Due to the alien nature of the minion, the two, go to Metropolis (where we see football player Victor Stone "Cyborg") to explore a potential lead, the alien who fell from the sky, that people consistently call the Superman, who then fight the two at the end of the comic.

JSA: Liberty Files

   This blog relates to a DC time bender called "JSA: Liberty Files. This comic is about a what if world in which the JSA were heroes and spies helping fight the Axis Powers in an underground race for time.
   This story focuses around three main characters. The Owl (Doctor Mid-nite), The Clock (Hourman) and the Bat (Batman), who are all three intelligence seekers for the U.S. armed forces.
                                    (From top) The Clock, The Bat, And The Owl
   In part one, They are tailing a German smuggler Jack the Grin (The Joker) who is carrying plans for a German secret weapon. They intercept him in Egypt, and recover the plans, only finding that the plans reveal the "ümbermensch" or in German, the Superman.
                                                           Jack the Grin
   Part two, starts on a sadder note. The Owl had been injured in a previous battle with the Germans and is recovering in the hospital when is killed by a German assassin. They (Now the Bat and the Clock) meet with a Swiss liaison, Terry Sloane, known as Mister Terrific.  However a German agent known as the Scarecrow bursts in and begins to fight Sloane, and during the struggle, Sloane's wife is killed. Then Sloane dons the Mister Terrific Alter-ego, and joins the Bat and The Clock , who all hunt down and kill the Scarecrow. (All the while Batman had been writing his thoughts in a small black journal, and when asked what he was writing, he responded with "nothing" and proceeded to burn the journal. Classic Batman moment.)
                                                  The Scarecrow
   The Bat then travels to Egypt, and confronts the German Superman, revealed to be the Martian Manhunter, who do to his ability to absorb thoughts from other people, Jon had only known Hitler's obscured and hate filled thought of the world. So Batman Dons a Jet-Pack, flys into the middle of the Germans rally, and touches The Martian Manhunter, who then sees that Hitler is... well.... a crazy murderer. So he then decides to join the allies. Batman stopped the release of the German superman just in time, for had he not, the allies were going to release the actual Superman.

    Part Three and forward will come later.

DC: The New Frontier


Basically, every major superhero joins together to sing kumbaya and such. Nothing at all bad happens and nobody is resentful about the Korean war. Also, dinosaurs. Just give it a read if you like the main DC heroes.

Superman: Red Son


Superman, as a Soviet Russian. Before I even begin to explain this story, it involves Superman, Batman, Lex Luthor, Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, Wonder Woman, Joseph Stalin. Yeah, all of them, ridiculous.
