With all of DC's most powerful heroes attached to the Justice League, the United Nations attempts to recruit lesser known heroes for a team of its own. Batman joins the team as a liaison from the actual Justice League, to keep tabs on these also-rans (and presumably also to sell more copies of the book).
Aaron Lopresti draws the roster well enough. Unfortunately, these characters are not given enough to do in Dan Jurgens' script to distinguish themselves from one another. Aside from some unfortunately timed banter between Rocket Red and the Chinese superhero August General in Iron about the reliability of Russian-made airplanes, nothing memorable happens to the heroes. A subplot involving anti-government protesters blowing up the JLI's new headquarters is much more compelling than anything that involves the actual stars of the title.
