The team was reunited by Creator/JuddWinick in the well-received ''Justice League: Generation Lost'' maxi-series, albeit with the new ComicBook/BlueBeetle and Rocket Red filling in for their deceased predecessors. In 2011, DC's ComicBook/{{New 52}} relaunch rebooted DC's continuity. The JLI's history was completely removed from continuity, but a new ''Justice League International'' series was launched. It featured many of the same characters, as well as Comicbook/{{Vixen}}, Godiva and August General in Iron. Despite decent sales, the series was [[ExecutiveMeddling cancelled in order to launch]] a new ''Justice League of America'' title, and ended with an Annual issue in September 2012 to finish the story. After the ComicBook/DCRebirth crossover ''ComicBook/SupermanReborn'', the team original team's history was partly restored to canon.

** The Extremists arc is another contender, with 5 expies of well-known Marvel Supervillains from another dimension coming to the main DC universe, hell-bent on killing as many people as possible and holding the entire Earth under the threat of a barrage of nukes just to get their kicks. Like with the Despero arc, the League can't even beat them on their own, only saving the day with the help of a WaltDisney expy, ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer yes, seriously,]]) and new Leaguer, Silver Sorceress, though she had technically been in JLI since its earliest days, if not as a Leaguer. There a few other such stories aside from those two, and when these types of stories occurred, the general light & silly tone that the rest of the series exuded made the more serious tales all the more shocking.

* IdentityAmnesia: Tired of having Batman in command, Guy Gardner took off the ring and tried to settle things as men do.

When he woke up, he tried to retrieve his ring from beneath a desk, and got a second TapOnTheHead. When he woke up, he was a new Guy Gardner, interested in poetry, good feelings, friendship, respectful, being nice to everyone... in short, everything that Guy Gardner is not. He stayed that way for several months (even across the ''ComicBook/{{Millennium}} crossover), and then returned to his true self against Lobo.

* NotMeThisTime: After a battle during the ''ComicBook/{{Invasion}}'' crossover, Mr. Miracle is cleaning the debris of a fallen alien starship, and Guy Gardner is kicking things around, with no regards for the possible consequences. Mr. Miracle tells him that if he's not careful he can make a big disaster, kicking things like that... and, suddenly, all the world turns black & white. But no, it wasn't because of Gardner, it was another attack of the aliens, which happened worldwide.

** Nemesis has been captured and jailed by the Soviets. Batman wants the League to invade Russia, go to that prison and help Nemesis to escape. Everyone tells him that no, that there are countless reasons against doing that... and then, Oberon announced that the president has called: a [[Comicbook/SuicideSquad group of villains]] is going to attack that very same prison, and the League has been summoned to provide protection. So, exactly what Batman wanted to do in the first place. Contrary to the rumors started by Blue Bettle, Batman did not pay those villains to do this.

It can't be between #14 and #15, because the action continues right away, and the JLI can not be having a barbecue at Mister Miracle's garden while there is an alien invasion going on (we hope). And it can't be after #15, because Mister Miracle is captured and sent to Apokolips.
