Future State: Justice League #1 (2021)

The old Hall of Justice, former headquarters of the Justice League The new Justice League is investigating inside the Hall of Justice, where it seems the entire Legion of Doom was murdered. Who could have done this? After all, they were a powerful group of villains. Batman suspects that the Legion's leaders, Ivo and T.O. Morrow, messed into something they really should have left unstirred. After the Flash searched for survivors, some of the members explained why the original League abandoned the Hall, leaving it like a ghost. It seems that back in the day, the team got incredibly big, and one member used the secrets of the League to hurt it, causing incredible damage. For that, they left the Hall of Justice, not destroying it so that it might serve as a moniker and as memory of the fallen heroes, and founded the Justice League Charter, with all the new rules, especially about the mandatory secret identity and the imperative to not share personal time with the other members. As they get out, Green Lantern tells them she will investigate and talk with the police, and that they can leave. Jon tries to break protocol: he would like to have a team meeting, to make new heroes join the team, to bond. But as he talks, everyone already disappeared, everyone but Yara. Superman and Wonder Woman already know each other personally, and Jon thinks it would be better if it was like the old days, with the Leaguers reaching out, becoming friends and not just colleagues. He doesn't even know Batman and Flash's true names. But Yara tells him it must stay this way: the important thing is not them reaching out, but people being safe. Yara knows Jon would like to be in a team similar to the League of his father, because of the happy past life he lived, but he must endure, because the way they are doing things works. As Yara leaves, Jon understands her words, but still feels a void: he knows all of this is for the people, but what about themselves? What if being closer would improve their lives as well, while keeping the world a safe place? But after all, if the others are good with this, he will stop pushing for the past. Meanwhile, Jo guesses that the Legion was blindsided by a force coming from inside the Hall of Justice, and tries to track down any trace that might lead to it: the ring detects a few traces of a mysterious toxin in the air. Meanwhile, in Amnesty Bay, the house of the Curry family Andy is talking with her parents, who right now are in a council in Atlantis, informing them about what happened with the Legion of Doom. They tell Andy that if she needs anything from them, she must call them. As she hangs down, the Flash, Jess Chambers, comes in and hangs out with her: they are friends after all, even if the rules are against it. It's an old rule made by the old team: Jess thinks it should be cancelled. As they talk, Superman and Wonder Woman call for them from the outside, another thing against the rules. Then, they make Jess disappear, and Andy goes berserk, and hits Jon. Under his skin though, there's some kind of metallic material. One by one, all the League members get transported by clones of themselves. Then, they reveal their true identity: they are the Hyperclan. T.O. Morrow discovered their existence, and wanted them to impersonate the Justice League so that they might destroy their public reputation. But no one controls the Clan: they came her the first time to rule, but they made a mistake, trying to rule with their true forms. No one likes the new. They want something familiar to deal with, and so they will give it to them, becoming the new Justice League...
