## History

Three months prior to the start of *Aftermath*, three members of the Justice League were killed in mysterious circumstances: Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Soon after, three more members quit the team: Hal Jordan of the Green Lanterns, Cyborg, and the Barry Allen version of the Flash. This left Aquaman as the remaining member of the main League, and he had to pick up the pieces and form a new group, which is the current lineup.

## Appearances

* In *Case 1: Oswald Cobblepot*, flashbacks of the Justice League prior to the deaths of the Big Three were shown, with victories against Vandal Savage, Brainiac, Amazo, and Steppenwolf shown, as well as a brief look as the mysterious event that killed the Big Three.

## Trivia

* Albeit an unintentional reference, Arthur having to form a new main seven members of the Justice League alludes to the "Unite the Seven" poster of the DCEU Aquaman.
