He will go to hell and back to find out. Batman: Damned is a visceral thrill ride and supernatural horror story told by two of comics’ greatest modern creators: Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo. The Joker has been murdered. His killer’s identity is a mystery. Batman is the World’s Greatest Detective. But what happens when the person he is searching for is the man staring back at him in the mirror? With no memory of what happened on the night of the murder, Batman is going to need some help. Who better to set him straight than John Constantine? The problem is that as much as John loves a good mystery, he loves messing with people’s heads even more. With John’s “help,” the pair will delve into the sordid underbelly of Gotham as they race toward the mind-blowing truth of who murdered The Joker.

Some entries have been removed, added, or modified to better fit this format. The DC universe is long and storied one, in more ways than one. It’s a universe filled with adventure around every corner, not least among them on Earth, an unassuming but cosmically significant planet out of the way of most space territories. Heroes and villains, from the bottom of the Dark Multiverse to the top of the Monitor Sphere, endlessly struggle for justice, for power, and for control over the fate of the very multiverse itself.

Continuity === === === === === Continuity doesn't change during your time here, since each continuity has a past and a future unconnected to the Crises. If you're in Post-Crisis you'll blow right through 2011 instead of seeing Flashpoint. This changes if you take the relevant scenarios. You can choose your starting date. Early Golden Age (eGA) Default Start Date: 1939 The original timeline, the one where it all began. Superman can leap tall buildings in a single bound, while other characters like Batman, Dr. Occult, and Sandman have just debuted in their respective cities. This continuity occurred in the late 1930s, and takes place in a single universe.

    Queen’s National Model United Nations Conference Kingston, Ontario February 28th-March 2nd 2019 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Letter from the Director Hello delegates, My name is Brendan Nugara and I am the director for the Injustice League committee. This committee is inspired by the characters of DC comics, mainly the Assembly of Supervillains, commonly known as the Injustice League, but also as the Legion of Doom. I chose this committee due to my love for DC comics growing up and today, I’m definitely team DC over team Marvel. While this may be an unpopular opinion, I hope it doesn't sway your opinion of this committee. My goal for this committee is for you to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. If this is your first MUN experience, I hope this committee can inspire you to continue participating in MUN. If this isn’t your first rodeo, I hope for this to be a memorable experience that exceeds your expectations set by past conferences. All the best, Brendan Nugara 1 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Table of Contents Background Guide • Preface – 3 • The Justice League – 5 • The Injustice League – 5 • A message from Lex Luthor – 6 • Characters – 6 • Resources – 14 2 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Preface A breakdown of the Guide This guide consists of five parts.

SMALLVILLE DINER A small glob of red ketchup on a white plate. A hand dips and slides a french fry through it in a sunny, relaxed restaurant. CLARK ... and that's how I got out. The hand belongs to CLARK KENT, approaching his twenties, the boy next door in a world without neighbors. He beams a happy, sheepish smile. Two teenagers (a BOY and a GIRL) sit across from him, speechless. GIRL You're not serious. Clark chuckles and gestures 'cross my heart'. GIRL THAT'S your big secret. The girl folds her arms and leans back in her chair, frowning. GIRL I don't believe you. CLARK Honest. The girl slaps the table, laughing incredulously. GIRL Come on! You skipped physics?! That's REALLY the best you got? CLARK I told you it wasn't worth knowing. GIRL But we gave you such good ones! You can't honestly tell me that's all. CLARK What exactly were you expecting? The girl just shrugs. Clark looks around the diner for a waiter. He suddenly looks flushed. He leans forward, elbow on the table, rubbing a hand across his face. GIRL Hey Boy Scout, what's wrong? 2. CLARK Nothing. Clark grabs a menu and hides behind it, coughing, fidgeting. He wipes his brow with the back of his hand. His eyes slowly adopt a tint of red, an odd WHISTLING accompanying the change.
