| Synopsis |
The Earth-2 Superman (as Clark Kent) is given a diary and wire spool recordings (predecessor to tape recorders) by Prof. Nichols that came from Batman shortly before his death (Nichols having known Batman for many years because of their 'time travel' adventures). Nichols, carrying out Batman's last request asks that the diary be published by the Daily Star. As Clark reads both the diary and spool, he learns of astonishing accusations from his best friend that the JSA was actually a 'Fifth colony' planted in the U.S. by Hitler during World War 2 when the group first formed to stop Hitler's actions vs. England in November 1940. Clark then calls for an emergency JSA meeting to reveal this information. Story continues next Chapter.. |

| Notes |
This part of the story covers information already explained in several Batman stories during the late 40's/early 50's in Batman and Detective comics, in which both Bruce and Dick (as Batman and Robin) travelled through time via Prof. Nichols' method, using hypnosis. This part also covers briefly the JSA's origin from DC Special (DC, 1975 series) #29, in a twisted way from Batman's diary. |
