Justice League is getting POLITICAL! (9-11 MIHOP reference?)

[oxbow]

Has anybody here been watching the latest season of the Justice League on Cartoon Network? The good guys are going up against the US government. Lex Luthor is running for POTUS, and he's using the media to turn the people against the Justice League. Luthor then hacks into the JL's weapon system and uses it to blow up a city. This makes it look like the Justice League did it, thereby giving the MIC (run by a motley group of scientists and crooks with chips on their shoulders) the justification to go against the Justice League with everything they have. I haven't watched the entire season yet, but does all this remind you of anything?

There are many other little things all throughout the series, especially this last season, that make me smile when I see them.
But it wasn't until I watched Lex blow up a city and blame it on Superman that I realized how plugged in these writers really are! Who says superheroes are kids stuff? I don't know for sure, but i remember seeing something about Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons writing some of the plot?
