This was one of the very first book publish for the new 52. What is the new 52? Well basically DC decided to reboot its entire universe. No more past story lines you needed to know about, no more conflicting stories. The new 52 is a continuity all its own, and Justice League: Origins is just that, the origin of the Justice League. This is where Batman, Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Cyborg come together to defeat a common enemy. Though they don't officially form a team... yet, they do realized by the end they are going to be working together again in the future. I just loved the dialog in this book. It doesn't take itself too seriously. For example:
Green Lantern: "What are your powers anyway? Can you fly?"
Batman: "No."
Green Lantern: "Super-strength?"
Batman: "No."
Green Lantern: "Hold on a second...You're not just some guy in a bat costume, are you? Are you freaking kidding me?!"
Got to love that. I know this hasn't gotten fantastic reviews by others on Amazon, but I really enjoyed it. If you are a DC fan like I am, and like DC's major characters, I think you'll enjoy this book like I did.
