Rating: - Super Friends nostalgia, anyone?
Writer Dwayne McDuffie's love letter to the Legion of Doom isn't bad for a generic supervillain team up story, and if you're in the mood for a PG-13 homage to the TV series "Challenge of the Super Friends," this book fits the bill.

The first couple of pages feature Luthor, Joker, and Cheetah in a parody of the opening of Justice League of America, Vol. 1: The Tornado's Path. It's a witty beginning, but what's missing from McDuffie's story is a sense that the stakes particularly matter. Where "The Tornado's Path" was all about a man's fight for his soul, as well as for the lives of his family, "The Injustice League" is all about dramatic posturing, empty rhetoric, and lame jokes. The characters are just going through the motions until a better storyline comes along. (Feel free to pick up the JLA trade paperbacks JLA (Book 3): Rock of Ages and JLA Vol. 6: World War III, both written by Grant Morrison, for stunning examples of better Injustice League storylines, with the characters fighting for apocalyptic stakes.)

Returning to the present volume, two forgettable backup stories, about which the less said the better, allow this book to meet the minimum page count requirement.
