Writer Dwayne McDuffie's love letter to the Legion of Doom isn't bad for a generic supervillain team up story, and if you're in the mood for a PG-13 homage to the TV series "Challenge of the Super Friends," this book fits the bill. What's missing from McDuffie's story is a sense that the stakes particularly matter. The characters are just going through the motions until a better storyline comes along, but if you want to see how much creative mileage a more wildly imaginative writer can get from Lex... more info
Wasn't that impressed:
I was waiting impatiently to buy this one, since I have the other two in the series. Much to my dismay, I wasn't impressed by it.

Dwayne McDuffie's run on "Justice League" gets off to a big start, with the Injustice League capturing the Justice League. The last time that Lex Luthor and the Joker teamed up in "Infinite Crisis" they put a bullet in Alexander Luthor's head. Here, though, they're far less vicious--Luthor won't let any of the other villains harm their Justice League foes until they've captured Superman. Most of the villains don't have much dialogue; the Joker, in particular, has only a couple of lines and is pretty... more info
