Justice League (2011): Origin #1

Spoiler Warnings for those who haven't read Justice League  #1 (Character profiles and transcripts will follow in seperete posts as well as reviews for individual titles and synopsis for the rest of the story line.)  I also  recommned using some youtube channels (listed below) if you are wanting to read some comic titles that have been uploaded as they are brillaint and contain full stories.

Five years before the formation of the Justice League, the people of the world viewed heroes like Batman, Flash and Green Lantern as public enemies. 

The G.C.P.D are on a mission to capture and take down both Batman and a Parademon, who Batman is trying to pin down and interrgoate what it had been doing in the Gotham Docks. They force Batman to use smoke pellets to get away, allowing the Parademon to escape, but Batman quickly knocks it to the floor. But before Batman can get an answer, the Parademon explodes in a blast of energy, changing it's appearance. The arrival of Green Lantern and his fire truck construct saves Batman and knocks the Parademon away, but that only leaves them open to being captured by G.C.P.D. They open fire at the heroes, who hide behind an energy construct, but are further attacked from behind by the Parademon, before firing at the G.CP.D helicopters and escaping in the confusion, while the heroes stay behind to stop the reckage falling on the city. 

They follow the Parademon to the sewers, where Green Lantern tries to find out the limits of Batman's powers and is bemused by the fact that he is just "some guy in a bat-costume." Batman just smiles asking what Lantern's Power Ring does, before removing it.  He is furious at this, surprised that Batman figured out that the ring needs concetration to be worn properly.  Lantern brings the ring back to him, trying to start a fight, but Batman silnces him as they come across the Parademon attaching a Mother Box to the sewer wall. The Parademons spots them and self destruftcs shouting "Hail Darkseid," with the heroes managing to survive by the fact that Lantern formed a green safe construct around them. 

Lantern uses his ring to try identify what the box is made from and discover where it originated, but his ring fails to identify anything about it. However goes on to say that due to it potentially being alien in origin, they should go to Metropolis to hnt down Superman, as rumours state is is an alien as well. 

Meanwhile at a highschool football game, the crowd are going crazy for teen star Victor Stone of the Ford High Titans, who scores a goal and winning the match. (Among the crowd is Pandora: More on her in bio) This gains alot of attention from potential scholarships, however as Victor looks to the crowd he sees an empty seat where his father should be sitting. 

Victor calls his dad after the game, but hangs up telling his coach that it will be next game that his dad comes to. He is distracted by screaming outside and he runs out to see Batman and Green Lantern flying over the field in a green energy construct of a fighter jet. 

Batman remrks that Green Lantern made them too viasble entering Metropolis, but Lantern tells him to relax, entering a demolition zone belonging to LexCorp, where his ring located Superman. Green Lantern traps Batman in abox, stating that he will go in and capture Superman for questioning stating that he can "handle this."

However a few seconds later, Superman smashes him through a wall, breaking Batman's box and reveals himself to Batman, asking what he can do as he doesn't "handle easy."

These are a few examples I can find at the moment and there will be more when I find them... But they are great for reading new and old comics.
