The Justice League is one of the most powerful superhero teams ever conceived, but Nightwing managed to do what no supervillain ever could. Dick Grayson made the League crumble past repair.
Few superhero teams can match the power and prestige of DC's Justice League. The team regularly faces cosmic villains and threats to the fabric of reality itself, yet always manages to walk away victorious. However, one of DC's darkest futures saw the League crumble, and all because of a surprising hero.
With powerhouses like Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter, it's no wonder that the League is basically undefeatable. Even in universes where the League does disband, it's less often due to a crushing defeat, and more due to internal squabbles. Classic comics such as Kingdom Come show a League unable to reconcile their different views of justice, while more recent alternate universes such as Justice League: Last Ride see the team breakup due to misplaced blame.
It's no understatement to say that Dick destroyed the Justice League, even if some may have survived. After the battle for Metropolis ends, superpowers are outlawed, with Dick leading the force that rounds up those who retained their abilities. The group of heroes that resist Nightwing's fascist state isn't the League, but a much older group of Teen Titans, with the addition of Blue Lantern Lois Lane.
Far from a moment created purely for shock value though, Dick's betrayal of the League makes total sense in context. While Nightwing: The New Order ultimately decides superpowers are good, it's easy to see why Dick made the choice that he did, especially given Batman's death. Still, there's something incredibly ironic about a group as powerful as the Justice League being taken down by a hero without powers like Nightwing.
