MOVIE: Justice Society: World War II
In the early 1940s; with Nazi Germany invading most of Europe, and Adolf Hitler after magical
artifacts, Franklin D. Roosevelt is asked by Colonel Steve Trevor to finally get Americans involved, by
creating a team of superhumans. Consisting of Black Canary, Hawkman, Hourman, Jay Garrick / Flash, Trevor, and led by Wonder Woman, the Justice Society of America is given the go.[1]
In the present day, Barry Allen / Flash and Iris West have a picnic in Metropolis hoping to get away from "work". However, their picnic is disrupted by Superman fighting Brainiac, and Flash comes to Superman's aid. When Brainiac fires a Kryptonite bullet, Flash goes so fast trying to catch it that he channels the Speed Force for the first time. Led by the voice of Doctor Fate, he arrives in the past during a battle between the JSA and the Nazis in France. Despite the confusion over his allegiance, the team realizes Barry is an ally when he defeats a group of Nazis and saves Trevor, and believe that he is from the future. While the team deploys to stop a second attack wave, Barry takes Trevor back to base, where he learns about the JSA, a secret superhero team he never heard of until now.
After meeting "Shakespeare", the JSA war correspondent - who looks vaguely familiar to Barry - and Trevor making a pass at proposing to Diana, the team meets up for their next mission. Despite the risk of causing a time paradox, the heroes realize that need Barry's help in saving a codebreaker from a Nazi fortress who can decode a message Trevor stole. Arriving at the fortress, the heroes, Trevor and "Shakespeare" break in, defeat the guards, and discover several prisoners in the dungeons. "Shakespeare" rescues one prisoner who tells that someone told him of "Shakepeare's arrival, gives gim a package with a red and blue suit inside, and implores him to prevent something from happening. A guard attacks "Shakespeare", only for the the bullets to bounce off him. Diana, Barry, and Trevor arrive, and "Shakespeare" identifies himself as Clark Kent; but when Clark reveals a background different from the Clark he knows, Barry realizes that he is not in the past, but in a parallel reality.
