Con honrosas excepciones, en ésta obra se olvida a veces de seguir con la trama princnipal para despistarse (poco) en personajes que tampoco es que aporten nada, y se dan vueltas para llegar a un sitio al que se podría haber llegado en mucho menos tiempo. Son errores más perdonables en una serie regular, pero en una historia planteada a doce números y con un dibujo de éste nivel, uno esperaría un mayor cuidado en el argumento y la forma de contarlo y desarrollarse.

In an interview, Alex Ross jokingly compared the series to the All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder and All-Star Superman, two comics which like Justice take place outside the existing DC Universe. All three titles launched within the same time period as part of a wave of continuity-free incarnations of popular DC Universe properties, though Justice did not feature the " All-Star" labeling.

[17] Survival. Perhaps that is all I can hope for at this point. Our potential was stunted when earth became the battlefield for the rest of the cosmos... when the so-called Justice League of America banded together because they were unwilling to allow us to bleed and suffer and learn how to defend ourselves... when Earth and humanity became but suburbs to the conflicts of a galaxy.

Worst of all, the whole damned thing was confusing. Was it just that the original comic book miniseries assumed that the readers were all desperate fanboys who were reading everything that DC produced, and so left half the plot out of this series because it was all covered elsewhere? I doubt it. All I know is that for much of the novel I didn't know what was going on. And worse, I didn't CARE. Most of the second generation of heroes — Supergirl, Batgirl, Robin, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, Captain Marvel Jr., and Mary Marvel — were mind-controlled by Brainiac's worms and forced to fight the older heroes. Fans of Alex Ross saw the inspiration right away. As soon as the poster was released, people started sharing their interpretations and tributes to The Justice League. Look, the art is the usual brightly-colored eye candy.

[12] The bad: The only criticism I have of this is the point of view narration. It switches between a lot of characters whilst there are many characters in the frame, so it can take a while to work out who is speaking. Also it is just me or does Batman's armour look decidedly feminine?Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor: When Brainiac has Aquaman Strapped to an Operating Table and is preparing to cut into his brain, the otherwise unemotional android taunts Aquaman with a couple of morbid puns, saying that he's "just trying to get inside your head" and telling Aquaman to "have an open mind".
