With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Reader mode
Seeing as Paul works semi-independently from the Team, will he ever form a separate group similar to what the Renegade did? If yes, I hope he is able to recruit Anarky.
 
On the earlier Injustice stuff, from someone who actually read the comics . . . It's not like Superman immediately started skiing down the slippery slope. He was constantly being pushed by Batman's ridiculously needless antagonism and Wonder Woman whispering poison into his ears. Hell, he starts out just saying he's going to be more active in Earth's affairs by intervening in wars to protect civilians and the like. Which the US government gets pissy enough about that they hire Mirror Master to kidnap Clark's parents, and it being pointless escalations of that nature that push him towards outright taking over.

And even when he first takes over, he still remains pretty reasonable to start with. He's just constantly being pushed along by stupid shit like a bunch of idiots adopting the Joker as a symbol of freedom until it gets to the point he completely snaps.

A few little things I'll mention . . . Batman's side tries to get Swamp Thing on their side. He refuses because Superman has started introducing a bunch of green technologies that are already improving the environment. The Injustice version of Lex Luthor was actually friends with Superman. The storyline just completely fucking forgets the role Harley played in murdering Jimmy, murdering Lois, and nuking Metropolis. (I especially hate how Injustice handles Harley's bullshit.)

Oh, and the reason Injustice Wonder Woman is such a horrible person is because her Steve Trevor was a double agent working for the Nazis.

Looks like a control room. There's a large computer console across the opposite side, panels open and… Wiring that escaped from the sixties visible inside. It looks like he's making an effort to modernise it, but that's slow going for a boy his age.

I have never emphathized more with a character than Anarky in this moment. Gods, even if I was a comic-book genius I wouldn't want to mess with old school military systems.
You think it's gonna be all sunshine and rainbows because it's just a stupid prehistoric system with no GUI and instead you get hit with a frankestein monster-machine with custom-made software that breaks constantly. It's been toggled to battle-mode for twelve years already and is so full of compiling errors that it can't even function without it anymore, it has the worst version of Ada ever seen to man and the hardware is made to specifications so robust and modular you can't even properly mantain it by switching with modern alternatives as they're specialized products and instead you have to depend on government tech just slipping into the consumer market through military otakus...

He should probably just scrap the entire thing and repurpose the components to make battle-proof equipment, honestly.

It gets even worse in the movie adaptation. Batman constantly calls out Superman for killing people, yet he's perfectly content working alongside Harley Quinn and Catwoman, who both have killed people before (not to mention that Harley's crimes are far worse than Clark's). Hell, we even see a scene where Catwoman outright SNAPS THE NECK OF A LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS NINJA, and yet Batman never even calls her out for killing the guy. Double standard, much?

Either that, or maybe Anarky is purposely using really old equipement because he thinks it would be harder to trace or hack than modern tech. Which, to be fair, would be true for most people, because there's far less people who are familiar with technology from the 60's, 70's and 80's today than before.

What the fuck is this? Did Gorilla Grodd decide to "de-evolve" a dog and turn it into a cyborg?

So it occurs to me....

Batman has a well documented history of adopting orphans. Lonnie is an orphaned kid of incredible talent who is very concerned about the Justice League's expansion of authority. Batman needs someone to keep an eye on him. Lonnie wants to keep an eye on Batman.

Is it really a coincidence that Paul is trying to find Lonnie before he meets with Batman? Maybe there's an opportunity to make something happen here.

We shouldn't be looking at a full Brother Eye situation. That required him getting his brain messed up by someone he liked and trusted, rather than a serial problem child like me. And it took longer for the paranoia-inducing near-recall of the event to produce the dreadful consequences that occurred.

Given Batman is still running around with that yellow power ring maybe you aught to actually check instead of just assuming.

And by check I mean go up to the Justice League space station and manually access the computers to check for signs of Brother Eye intrusion.

No. It's not clear that We3 is in continuity with anything. That's Weapon 4, their last attempt to contain Weapon 1, 2 and 3 after they escaped. Basically, it's a dog in power armour with a brain implant that can translate its thoughts into English.

If we assume that Batman did in fact go crazy and made a Brother Eye, what makes you think that Batman wouldn't cover his tracks and erase any signs of intrusion from Brother Eye? He helped make the watchtower's computers and program them, so it wouldn't be hard for him to do that. And even if it wasn't, he can just hack it with his power ring and screw with the systems to erase all traces of suspicious activity on his part.

In fact, forget the space station, because he could theoretically do that with ANY computer system on Earth that hasn't been warded against ring scans.

Why do I have a feeling that Paul is going to deeply regret letting Batman keep that ring pretty soon?
