When global catastrophes strike, sometimes the job is too big for a single hero. This is when the world’s greatest superheroes answer the call to join the Justice League. The Justice League’s all-star roster includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter. Justice League follows the premise and storyline of the DC Comics comic books. Members of the Justice League are called upon to battle against allied villains, supernatural creatures and other powerful forces of evil determined to usurp authority over the world and to destroy the Justice League.
Although our heroes come from vastly different backgrounds, even different planets, they must learn to set aside their personal differences to fight for a common cause. This does not prove easy. By their very nature, these heroes are independent outsiders, who live according to a strong personal code of honor. They must learn to trust and rely upon each other. Members of the Justice League may never become “Superfriends” but they learn to work together as a team to overcome a dangerous array of interstellar invaders and world-conquering megalomaniacs. Along with their many victories, the Justice League will also learn that sometimes a hero’s true measure of greatness is how she or he copes with disappointment and defeat.
With so much at stake, every episode will truly be an epic event. The Justice League’s relentless pursuit of justice takes them to exciting, exotic locations around the world, even extending to the farthest corners of the galaxy. The Justice League protects the Earth from a floating space station in orbit called The Watchtower. It serves as a central meeting place for the League’s busy members while they work to detect and defeat threats from remote corners of outer space.

DC Comics also released this press write-up concerning the launch of Justice League Infinity:
Justice League Unlimited, the second groundbreaking animated series focusing on DC’s premiere superteam, ended its far-too-short run in 2008. For many viewers, it was their first exposure to the Justice League, and it’s continued to introduce young superhero fans to the team and their adversaries in the years since. However, the reality is that once you reach that last episode—the Dwayne McDuffie-written “Destroyer,” for those keeping score—that’s just about it. Not only have there been no more Justice League Unlimited episodes, there have been no more series set in the shared animated universe kicked off by Batman: The Animated Series period.
That changes [on July 6], although you won’t find the newest chapter on any TV network or streaming service. Rather, you’ll want to look towards your local comic shop as writers James Tucker and J.M. DeMatteis and artist Ethen Beavers launch Justice League Infinity, an all-new title set within the show’s world that launches [July 6]. If you’re a fan of DC animation, you likely know the names Tucker and DeMatteis. Tucker was a Justice League Unlimited producer who went on to oversee the direction of the DC Universe animated movies, producing a series of interconnected films that culminated last year. DeMatteis served as a writer on Justice League Unlimited and has scripted many of the animated movies that Tucker produced, including Justice League Dark, Batman vs. Robin and Superman: Red Son. In other words, these guys understand DC animation like few others, so rest assured that Justice League Infinity feels (and looks, thanks to Beavers’ striking work) like the series that it’s continuing.
