Justice Society #2
In "Divided We Stand!", the Justice Society of America fractures into warring factions, with Hawkman, Green Lantern, Flash, and their allies confronting a force led by Commissioner Bruce Wayne and including Robin, Wonder Woman, and Starman—each side claiming righteousness. Written by Paul Levitz and illustrated by Joe Staton with inks by Bob Layton, the issue unfolds with tension and moral complexity, culminating in a shocking revelation when Superman and Dr. Fate intervene to expose the true puppet master behind the conflict. The cover by Brian Bolland captures the moment’s intensity, a striking visual that mirrors the story’s high stakes.
