Total Justice

Cover Description: Aquaman, Batman, Flash III, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, and Robin III leap forward towards the viewer. (No Booster Gold.)

Brief Synopsis: The Justice League answers a distress call on an island where all is not as it seems.

Issue Summary: Robin tries but hesitates to stop a suicide bomber. The bomber is eventually defeated, but only through the intervention of Batman.

Some time later, Robin is on a sailboat off the Mexican coast with his father (and some woman that Robin doesn't seem to care about -- stepmother?). The boat is attacked by a parademon. Robin escapes, but the boat is destroyed.

Flash and Green Lantern are responding to a distress call when their powers fail. Fortunately, they are rescued by Aquaman. The rest of the Justice League chooses not to intervene for fear of losing their powers. Only Batman will answer the distress call.

When a parademon attacks the powerless Flash and Green Lantern, Robin comes to their rescue. But will Batman arrive in time to rescue Robin? Reveal Potential Spoilers

Booster Gold's role in this story:
Cameo (Booster Gold makes a minor appearance)

Costume Worn: MARK X armored power-suit

Issue Notes: This series was created to serve two purposes: promote an upcoming Kenner toy line, and bridge the gap between the canceled Justice League titles and the relaunch of the Justice League franchise by writer Grant Morrison in the series JLA. The Total Justice toy line was ultimately unsuccessful and was canceled before the fourth wave of toys was released. No Booster Gold figure was planned for the toy line.

Justice League members present at the orbiting Justice League Refuge for Martian Manhunter's briefing about a recent distress call include Amazing Man II, Blue Beetle II, Booster Gold (with built-in Skeets), Captain Atom, Firestorm V, Glenn Gammeron, Gypsy, Maxima, Ray II, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Zan and Jayna.

Page 16, panel 2
An argument between Booster Gold and Gypsy about whether the operation to save Flash III and Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner) should be conducted by the Extreme Justice or Justice League Task Force teams is interrupted by the arrival of Batman, who excludes either team from participating because all members, save Blue Beetle, need their powers to participate, powers which will not work on the island. Thus Booster is excluded from active duty in this issue because his power-suit will presumably not function on the island.
