Justice Lords are a fictional team of anti-heroes/anti-villains who first appeared in the two-part Justice League episode "A Better World", which was broadcast on November 1, 2003. The Justice Lords were brought into DC Comics' canonical Multiverse with The Multiversity Guidebook #1 by Grant Morrison in 2015. Their world is situated on Earth-50 of DC's Multiverse. Television appearances The Justice Lords are an alternate Justice League from a parallel Earth whose roster resembles the original DC animated universe Justice League—an alternate Batman, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, Superman, and Wonder Woman—with the exception of The Flash, who was killed by Lex Luthor. Their world diverges from that of the world of the Justice League when Lex Luthor is elected President and establishes policies resulting in the prediction that a nuclear war between the League and the government could destroy the entire Earth. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman try to stop the war, storming the White House and confronting Luthor. When Luthor tells Superman no matter how many times he sends him to prison, he would find a way back to power, Superman kills Luthor with his heat vision, and decides he likes this new form of "justice". The others also lose faith in humanity. For two years, the Justice Lords seize the world's governments and begin ruling with an iron fist. Using their satellite base for surveillance, they ban free speech, limit elections, and eliminate crime by lobotomizing criminals and supervillains through Lord Superman's heat vision, although they justify their behavior as "temporary" and for the people's own good. Lord Superman has also imposed severe restrictions on his girlfriend Lois Lane's way of life, forbidding her from making phone calls, having unauthorized guests, or leaving her home. "A Better World" The Justice Lords discover their counterparts when Lord Batman finds the League during an experiment which allowed him to view the alternate universe, as well as be transported there. Bored with their own world, the Lords decide to "assist" their counterparts by having their tyranny on the League's world, and trick them into going to the alternate Earth. When the League arrives, they are imprisoned and rendered unconscious. They are later transferred to cells designed to neutralize their powers, and Lord Batman stays behind to keep watch over them. When the rest of the Lords arrive on mainstream Earth, they meet Doomsday, a monstrous fighter who challenges Earth's mightiest combatants
