Part 3/9:
Fast forward two years, the world has dramatically transformed. The Justice League, now known as the Justice Lords, have taken a tyrannical grip on Earth, executing supervillains without hesitation and curbing public dissent. Their authoritarian rule leads to a society gripped by fear. Hawk Girl, amidst this oppressive regime, starts to question the morality of their actions as they respond to reports of protests in Smallville.
A stark contrast develops when Superman tries to rationalize their rule during a dinner with Lois Lane, who remains disillusioned by the Justice Lords' totalitarian approach. The atmosphere of oppression fosters resistance, and tension builds when Batman calls an emergency meeting regarding their strategies.
