JLA Total Control, Issue One

The Bat stood above the crowds basking in the glory of their heroes. He tried not to notice the clean streets, the smiles below him, the fact that he had prowled the rooftops for hours before the event and had yet to encounter one act of crime. Maybe Metropolis was the City of Tommorow, but it was not his city.

"Metropolis' criminals look down from tall towers not dark alleys," the Dark Knight thought as he turned his ear piece to the local news transmission and watched his allies wave to the crowds.




It’s a beautiful day Corkie.

That it is Grant. All of Metropolis has shown up for this official appreciation day of the Justice League, sponsored by Buzz Cola and the Mayor’s office of special events.

Yes, Corkie this newly formed group in the mold of the Justice Society has already gathered quite a following. It is said they have replaced Brad, Angelia, and Bennifer as the buzzwords online and America is clamoring for anything about these heroes.


Noticeably absent on the float designed after their downtown metropolis headquarters is the Batman. The Justice League will neither confirm nor deny his membership or even existence.
Well with rumors of being 9 feet tall with batwings he probably saved all the children in the crowd years of therapy by staying home.

What would bat call home, Grant? A Belfry?

Oh Corkie, Let’s go down to Cat Grant for reaction from the man on the street, Cat.

If they did not activate the symbol, who did?




Who could break into Police Headquarters, assemble the symbol, and escape without notice...



It feels like a flutter in the air and a tingle of electricity.




The tingle spreads as nanites replicate, flooding the Bats bloodstream, crossing over into his nervous system, spreading over the pathways of his mind.



He feels a calmness and order fill his thoughts.
