Synopsis for "Altered Egos"

Batman tells the assembled Leaguers he wants them to bring in Bruce Wayne, whom he believes is behind the recent destruction in Gotham City. He also tells Wonder Woman and Superman to go in search of Flash, while the others go after Wayne.

Incognito, Steel, Plastic Man, Big Barda, Orion and Green Lantern go to the Riviera Hotel in France, where they find Wayne at a Baccarat table. When he sees Plastic Man, he makes for the exit and ditches the heroes.

Meanwhile, in Keystone City, Superman encounters Flash (Walter West) and immediately recognizes that he is not Wally West. However, they must table the issue to deal with Dr. Alchemy. Superman, Flash, and Wonder Woman clean up the mess Dr. Alchemy has made.

As the League finds Wayne and tries to take him down, they discover that he seems to go intangible at will; as it turns out, the supposed Bruce Wayne is one of the White Martians, whom they eventually capture. Later, Flash reveals his true nature to Superman, who vouches for him and allows him to join the team.

Trivia

  • The Flash that appears in this issue was supposed to be Wally West, but between the time it was written and printed, Walter West had taken over the mantle of the Flash over in the Flash comic; in addition, the tone of his dialog is more in line with Wally than the much gruffer Walter. The image used was pasted on after the fact.
