'''The Movement''' is an ongoing series from DCComics which started in May 2013 as part of the {{New 52}}, with scripts by Creator/GailSimone and art by Freddie E Williams II.

Set in Coral City, The Movement centers around a group of superpowered teens who take matters of justice into their own hands after the corrupt local police department is exposed. But how will the rest of the world react to these teens? And with so much power at their disposal, can they really be trusted to work towards a greater good?
