10 Times The Justice League Went Way Too Far

10. Heroes In Crisis

2018's spiritual sequel to the mixed bag that is the Identity Crisis storyline matched its predecessor's divisiveness but is redeemed by incredible (if often too male gaze-focused) artwork from Clay Mann and interesting thematic content courtesy of Tom King.

Its initial exploration of mental health and disillusionment is commendable, but ultimately poorly handled, as its treatment of the League (especially Wally West) leaves a lot to be desired.

The story focuses on the events following the death of multiple heroes and reformed villains at the Sanctuary, a rehabilitation center for heroes dealing with mental health issues. Due to the nature of the crime scene, Booster Gold and Harley Quinn are the primary suspects and they each go about trying to solve the case despite opposition from various heroes.

The case is ultimately solved and in the process highlights how demented the Sanctuary really is. The League creates instances where the heroes at the center relive their trauma in the name of healing. It is a decision (in-story and out of it) that is in poor taste and only serves to further isolate souls that needed a tender approach to their recoveries.
