10 Times The Justice League Went Way Too Far
3. Injustice
Injustice is one of DC's best tales in years, with its bold approach to worn out tropes winning over both new and old fans of the franchise.
This exploration of Superman's grief rolling over the world (and beyond) is a seminal example of what happens when absolute power is both compromised and unchecked.
After murdering the Joker for having killed Lois Lane, her unborn child and most of Metropolis, Superman and a few other Leaguers see it fit to take a more... proactive approach in global governance and policing.
Naturally, this totalitarian leap in logic on the Man of Steel's part is met with opposition from the world he wishes to protect and some of his old teammates, specifically Batman.
Superman's One Earth regime betrays the morals and ethos that the League was founded on, and during its devastating run commits atrocities that push the remaining Leaguers well beyond the moral event horizon in their severely unsound desire to uphold order across the globe.
