The conclusion of DC Comics event Dark Nights: Metal will bring about some big changes for the Justice League comic line, IGN has learned from DC.
Following the events of Metal, which ends on March 14 with Issue #6, there will be a four-issue weekly miniseries that kicks off on May 9 called Justice League: No Justice co-written by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, and Joshua Williamson with art by Francis Manapul.
Upon concluding, ‘No Justice’ will set the stage for a family of Justice League comics starting in June, with the flagship title being written by Snyder and the others by Tynion, Williamson, and more. No artists have been revealed for any of these titles.

The plot of ‘No Justice’ sees Brainiac warn the Justice League about a cosmic-level threat on the way to destroy Earth. When the heroes find out that even the combined might of the Justice League (including some unlikely new recruits) isn’t enough to stop it, Brainiac advises them with a plan. His strategy involves the heroes allying with villains and splitting up into four specialized teams. The fate of a different alien world depends on the success of each team, but if they fail, it’s game over not just for Earth but the entire DC Universe.
Might we get a team of reformed villains once all tis is said and done? Luthor, Lobo and Harley Quinn arguably meet that description. Deathstroke has walked that tightrope for decades. Maybe Justice League Dark takes a whole new meaning.
The dynamic would be pretty terrific, if handled correctly. Deathstroke has history with all of those characters, if one chooses to take volumes two and three of his series into account. You could pull Clayface from Detective Comics and Captain Cold from the Flash books flirted with being on the side of the angels for a while. I'm only speculating but this could be a cool deal.
