Plot:

Ra's Al Ghul seems to have found the final plan to decimate human population, interfere with their brains to destroy the ability to understand spoken language and written driving it well in the chaos, the only thing that gets in your way are members of the Justice League but Ra's seems to have inside information to take away from permanently in the middle ....

Review:

of Waid's JLA tries to follow with the epic tone that characterized the period of his predecessor Grant Morrison even risking the characters develop more, work in which hardly got a Morrison aware that working with the great icons of the UDC, the result is a JLA if may well be regarded as correct pales in comparison with earlier stages.

Tower of Babel, the rainbow that is reflected in the volume under analysis, has a Ra's Al Ghul flatter than seen earlier issues, reduced to a condition in which its role is limited to a series of acts tyrannical megalomaniacs, so it is not the best number to approach the character. The plot, which as we said earlier attempts to emulate Morrison's epic tone and only manages to stay in grand, is an excuse to analyze the relationships between members of the League which, paradoxically. it does allow the reader to use it as a more acceptable approach to the JLA since, although not really much talk about the origin of the characters, the issue offers a good look at the powers and weaknesses of the most famous superhero of the UDC group can serve as a good first contact with the characters.

The volume is completed with three stories about members of the League, one centered on the figure of Batman, we can, be generous, to accept as a good epilogue which discusses the relationship of trust between miembros de la Liga y los temores de Batman sobre el futuro que les espera a él y Superman; las otras dos, ya completamente ajenas a los acontecimientos de Torre de Babel, son una insulsa historia protagonizada por Wonder Woman y Aquaman, y una aventura, de final bastante previsible, en la que la una formación de la Liga sin Batman se enfrenta a una cultura inteligente que se ha instalado en el cuerpo de un niño.

Nota para los poseedores de la edición de Norma:
La edición de Planeta responde más a la edición del TPB USA editado por DC. Las principales bazas de este tomo respecto a la edición en prestigios de Norma ( al margen de la mejora en la edición) son la inclusión de un pequeño epilogue which looks very passing, the impact of the saga is in the wards of Batman and a chapter, while not essential if it brings more depth to the story, which tells how it was Ra's with information from the League and how it was collected by the author. The other extras take affect not only the series but neither are particularly recommended as a purchase.

Enjoy: To those who have not yet seen the JLA in action, fans completists, who were already somewhat saturated tone "serious" collectible previous releases.

not like: For those who do not read anything from the League JLA Justice of Giffen & DeMatteis, who enjoy the moral ambiguity of Ra's Al Ghul.
