SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary As a team of the DC Universe's greatest heroes, the Justice League has no shortage of high-powered enemies looking to make their downfall a reality. From interdimensional evils like Darkseid to more street-level foes like the Key, the League has gone up against just about every big bad in the DCU.
Now, one of their subtlest foes is working behind the scenes to hit the Justice League harder than ever before — with the surprising help of the WildStorm legacy. Batman: The Brave and the Bold #5 features the latest entry of “Stormwatch: Down With The Kings” by Ed Brisson, Jeff Spokes, and Saida Temofonte, in which the black-ops team learns that one surprising anti-Justice League figure has been controlling their every move: Amanda Waller.
Stormwatch has been collecting weapons that could take down the Justice League itself. When Ravager learns the truth, she makes it clear to Director Bones that she’s no longer taking part in their quest, especially after learning Bones is only a figurehead. Before Bones can finish spouting another lie, Stormwatch’s true commander, Amanda Waller herself, finally makes an appearance and reveals that she’s been running the team from the start.
This is far from the first connection Waller has made with the grittier WildStorm corner of the DC Universe, as the Waller vs. WildStorm Black Label miniseries by Spencer Ackerman, Evan Narcisse, Jesús Merino, and Vicente Cifuentes makes clear.
Amanda Waller and WildStorm Are More Connected than Ever When Amanda Waller sets her sight on a goal, she moves heaven and earth to make it a reality. Unfortunately, the Wall’s current goal seems to be the destruction of the DCU's greatest heroes. If the Justice League hopes to survive an onslaught at the hands of Amanda Waller and Stormwatch, they should start preparing for the worst.
