The Justice League is a cornerstone of the DC Universe
Bad things can happen without the Justice League.
The Justice League is one of the mainstays of the DC Universe, but the team was on hiatus for a short period of time. As a result, Amanda Waller was able to enact a plan to nearly wipe out all psychics on Earth, as chronicled in Absolute Power. Waller used the Amazon army to steal power and imprison anyone who got in his way. Although Waller mostly achieved his objective, he was unable to account for the discord within his ranks. After Waller’s defeat, the heroes realize that the Justice League is needed once again.

This hero’s final form blindsided me, reminding me of a long-buried piece of pop culture that once haunted my childhood nightmares.
But this time, the league was taking a new approach that befits DC’s new all-in initiative. Taking cues from the 2000s comic book Justice League Unlimited, every hero is a potential member of the team. There’s also a new Watchtower on a scale never seen before, befitting this unprecedented new era in Justice League history. The new incarnation of the Watchtower is filled with facilities such as a zoo, botanical laboratory, training room, and even a bar. Every hero on Earth also has a room in the watchtower.
The new era of the Justice League is opening up the ranks to everyone, and so far, All In has given fans a glimpse of just how far-reaching the team is now.
The new era of the Justice League is opening up the ranks to everyone, and so far, All In has given fans a glimpse of just how far-reaching the team is now. Mr. The Question is not a member of the League, but serves as its head of security. Talky Tawny and Animal Man lead the biological research unit, and the adventurers go about their daily tasks. While each of these departments is essential to the smooth functioning of the Watchtower, the recreation areas are equally important. These locations also need staff, and Nightshade does just that.
Who is Nightshade? Explaining DC’s shadow-based teleporters
Nightshade’s new Justice League role is perfect for her comeback
Nightshade was the inspiration for Watchmen’s Silk Specter.
Nightshade is a staple of both the spy/espionage side of the DC Universe and its supernatural corner. Co-created by Steve Ditko for Charlton Comics in the mid-1960s, Nightshade’s shadow-based powers give him the ability to teleport across Nightshade Land. Nightshade is a member of both the Suicide Squad and the Shadowpact, but he has never been promoted as much as other characters from Charlton, such as Captain Atom and Blue Beetle. Instead, Nightshade is relegated to semi-obscurity, which makes the character underrated.
Mixing drinks might not be the best use of her great powers, but it could lead to Nightshade getting a role and going on missions with the rest of the Justice League. .
But now Nightshade has a new purpose in the DC Universe. It’s the bartender at the Watchtower. Mixing drinks might not be the best use of her great powers, but it could lead to Nightshade getting a role and going on missions with the rest of the Justice League. . Nightshade’s new job shows how committed DC is to the new “Unlimited” era of the Justice League. They adopted all the heroes and turned into perhaps the first league in history. But rather than just adding more players, the league is giving everyone something meaningful to do.
