What happens

The Guardians of Justice (also known as Adi Shankar's The Guardians of Justice (Will Save You!)) is a live-action/adult animated mixed media superhero television series created, directed, written, and executive produced by Adi Shankar. The series is a Bootleg Universe production and a satire of DC Comics and the Justice League starring WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page as Knight Hawk, a parody of an older grizzled Batman. The series was released on Netflix on March 1, 2022. In the series, World War III ended c. 1947 with a victory by the alien superhero Marvelous Man. He managed to maintain planetary peace for 40 years, addressing the world in an annual speech for that period. In 1987, Marvelous Man seemingly commits public suicide during his last speech. In his absence, the world is on the brink of nuclear war. The deceased hero's lieutenant Knight Hawk rallies a superhero team to prevent the war. He covertly suspects that Marvelous Man was assassinated and views the other heroes as murder suspects. His investigation on the death uncovers a number of their personal secrets. Knight Hawk himself is a fascist and he is building a secret army in preparation for a coup d'état. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
