The Watchtower rises! The Justice League is back and bigger than ever! In the wake of Absolute Power and the DC All In Special, Darkseid’s death has triggered a massive power vacuum in the DCU, and Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman must unite like never before and expand the Justice League to encom every hero championing the forces of good in the face of incredible evil! As our heroes work to uncover the mystery of the dark lord’s successor, Ray Palmer’s Atom Project triggers a race between hero and villain to control the fate of metahuman abilities on planet Earth, which threatens to destroy everything the League has built. Worlds will live, worlds will die, and a surprise is waiting in store on the last page…Do not miss the dawn of the new era of justice—it all begins here!

In the newly unveiled variant covers, this new and improved Justice League features an unexpected lineup of characters, making this roster more exciting than any that's come before. I never expected to see characters like Kid Flash, Swamp Thing, and even Poison Ivy running around with the Justice League, but this art includes all of them — and more.

Howard Porter's epic artwork showcases an unexpected group of characters facing a threat outside the iconic Watchtower. This team includes Justice League mainstays Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, but the most interesting picks are the ones behind them: Kid Flash, Swamp Thing, Beast Boy, and the Spectre. These underrated heroes don't typically make the cut in the Justice League, so their inclusion here is a welcome surprise. Because this Justice League roster incorporates the entire DC Universe as opposed to being limited to a select few, unexpected additions like this are possible.

This new Justice League lineup is full of surprises, with familiar faces like the Trinity and newcomers like Beast Boy all among its ranks. What makes this new take on the League so innovative is its potential to feature shocking team-ups that no one will see coming.
