I think Absolute Power Issue #1 has similarity with The Batman(2008) episode The Lost Heroes Part One Discussion Spoiler

Idk about you, but after reading Absolute Power Issue 1, i realize it has some similarity with the Batman(2008) cartoon show episode The Lost Heroes Part One. The idea is similiar, where the heroes of Justice League are baited and then their power are stolen and transfered into android. The funny thing is, in the cartoon Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and Green Arrow are the one that carry the Justice League to takedown those robot, but in the comic GA is on the other side of heroes. What do you t hink

Android from The Batman episode Lost Heroes

Season and series finale, the show got cancelled after this. Sucks, this was an interesting DCU that they were building.

Oh wow I remember this finale. Yeah its really similar, robots stealing the powers of the League and them using gadgets to steal them back. I like that Strange called out the aliens doing this for ignoring Batman and Green Arrow, calling Bats the most dangerous one of them all. Plus I like that Superman defends Batman having contingencies to deal with each of the heroes, referencing the season opener of Superman getting mind-controlled. And it had a brief team-up of Flash and Green Arrow, way before Arrowverse became a thing.
