Official Synopsis: This is not your parents' Justice League! These heroes are not the renowned saviors of the world – they're more likely Earth's despotic rulers. Witness the divergent reality where the Justice League protects the planet but answers to no one but themselves. Employing methods of intimidation and fear, this Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman deal brute force in the name of justice.
