In Tom Taylor’s new Injustice: Year Zero, however, we will discover that the change to the DC Universe in this reality happened even before the events of the first Injustice series. And it had to do with a conflict between the Justice League and their WWII era predecessors, the Justice Society of America. The series’ official synopsis is as follows:

“Fall of the Old Gods” focuses the action around the Justice League and the discovery of how their predecessors covertly fought within WWII to bring down a tyrant. When the Joker finds a way to control DC’s Super Heroes, he uses his leverage to sabotage the Justice League – and the JSA – from the inside!”
