Justice League: Doom

The story “Tower of Babel,” originally written by Mark Waid for the JLA (Justice League of America) comic, is one of the most memorable and dark plots that explores the vulnerabilities of DC Comics’ most powerful heroes. In this adaptation, the narrative focuses on a psychological and strategic conflict that puts the famous superhero alliance in jeopardy.

The premise begins with a disturbing fact: Vandal Savage, one of the oldest and most cunning villains in the DC universe, manages to steal confidential information that Batman has meticulously compiled about each member of the Justice League. This documentation includes not only personal data but also detailed analyses of their weaknesses—something only Batman, known for his extreme caution and preparation, could have obtained.

With this knowledge in hand, Vandal Savage devises a plan to neutralize each member of the League by exploiting their weaknesses individually. Thus, each hero faces a threat specifically designed to exploit their vulnerabilities, creating an internal crisis within the group and endangering the team’s stability and, by extension, global security.
