The DC Comics dream team of writer Geoff Johns (DC UNIVERSE- REBIRTH) and legendary artist Jim Lee (BATMAN- HUSH) unite for this game-changing origin tale of the world's most iconic superhero group in ABSOLUTE JUSTICE LEAGUE- ORIGIN. This Absolute edition combines the first two volumes of the New York Times best-selling series, along with an introduction by DC co-publisher Dan DiDio, a variant cover gallery and a sketchbook section.

In a world where inexperienced superheroes operate under a cloud of suspicion from the public, loner vigilante Batman has stumbled upon a dark evil that threatens to destroy Earth as we know it. Faced with a threat far beyond anything he can handle on his own, the Dark Knight must trust an alien, a Scarlet Speedster, an accidental teenage hero, a space cop, an Amazon Princess and an undersea monarch to help him.

Can Batman, Superman, Flash, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Aquaman put aside their differences to save the world? Or will they destroy each other first?
