[edit] Plot
After Earth is attacked by a Gordanian battleship, the Justice League are aided by an army of hawkmen from Hawkgirl's home planet of Thanagar. They discover that Hawkgirl has been providing her people with details about Earth... and about the League. Not only that, but Green Lantern discovers that Hawkgirl, whom he has gotten romantically involved with, is engaged to Hro Talak, the leader of the Thanagarian army. The Thanagarians offer to help Earth defend against the Gordanians, but Batman discovers that this is just a ruse. The Thanagarians have a much more sinister plan for Earth. Meanwhile, Shayera Hol finds herself torn between her allegiance to Thanagar and love for Hro Talak and her love for Earth and for John Stewart. Whom will she betray?
[edit] Trivia
The mask Batman used while undercover as a dignitary on the Thanagarian ship was strikingly similar to the face of Alan Napier, Alfred from the '60s Batman series.
Hawkgirl says that the Thanagarians are building a Hyperspace Bypass which will destroy earth. In Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy the earth was destroyed to build a Hyperspace Bypass.
