Indexer Notes

The Justice League and the other heroes are shown out of costume in civilian identities (except Swamp Thing and Detective Chimp). Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl join the League.

Hawkman is shown to be unconscious, recovering after the battle. But before he fell unconscious he made notes of visions of things to come that he had seen while under the influence of Barbatos. Those visions include the Immortal Men, Controllers, Darkstars, the Dark Pantheon, and a vision of Atlantis rising to the surface.
