Interesting idea that was pretty well executed. "What if the bad guys had to be the good guys?" And the concept is followed through pretty well. Ultimately the art is fine, but not stunning. The story was good but not as compelling as I had hoped. Still worth the read.

Really enjoyed this book much more than I did the last Justice League compilation which was focused on the metal men. This whole book revolves around Lex Luthor and what can only be described as the Legion of Doom - they even through a visual cue to this in the form of Sinestro projecting a protective field with the shape of the Legion of doom's headquarters as seen in the old Super-friends cartoon.
Captain Cold and the rogues are also a big part of this book, and I always enjoy that team. The whole honorable bad guy trope is well played by them.
This book brings to light the New 52 version of Bizarro, as well as two very critical crisis characters which I won't spoil here. Overall: Go read it!

5 stars because lex Luther stepped on atomica like spongebob would step on plankton 10/10. Anyways
Forever evil - the justice league go M.I.A and there are no heroes to stop the crime syndicate who are basically justice baddies so then lex was like hell no and made his secret captain America civil war team and it’s baddies v baddies and it’s awesome
My thoughts - David finch really shines in forever evil, his art is beautiful and the colouring complements his art so much. I love the direction they take with lex and smart becoming goodies it’s a nice change. I love how badass sinestro and black Adam are. I love how brutal this book is, and I love how the villains are actually scary. My least favourite part of the book was ultraman, I just found him boring. Mazahs is cool and I just realized it’s Shazam backwards hehhe I see you dc. Anyways
Great book

So far, this has been the only true catalogue-wide crossover of the New 52, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Evil doppelgängers, good villains, some great character redesigns and a lot of potential for the future. I’ll note that this series is only good if read with the tie-ins.
Nightwings identity gone, Lex Luthor as a respected hero, Batmans identity discovered, the metal men, cyborgs redesign, owl man on the loose, a new super baby, and the anti-monitor. None of this felt forced or haphazardly thrown in, which makes it all the more earned and worth reading.

Ehh, between 3.5-4/5?
Didn't like this as much as I wanted/was expecting to, but still overall fairly enjoyable.

Aw man! Leave Nightwing alone! That is unforgivable.
I'm also unclear as to why they unmasked only Nightwing.
Mostly, this was an entertaining read, but there was too much crossing over and I'm not invested enough to go find all the issues to answer the questions. Like what happened to the Teen Titans after they were zapped to the future? Where are Pandora and the Question? They were in Kandaq when the Crime Syndicate appeared and then disappeared. I just want everything I'm supposed to read in one giant volume in the correct reading order.
