James Olsen- Earth 2 (The New 52)

First Appearance: Earth 2 (2011) #18: The Dark Age Part 2

James Olsen is a teen-aged activist, who's speciality is hacking into computers under the codename “The Accountable.” He was eventually captured after releasing thousands of World Army classified documents on the internet and sealed away in the Black Basement holding facility, beneath the Arkham World Army Command centre.

After the second Batman frees Marella on the day that Superman (Bizarro), he goes to another stasis chamber, which has been blacked out (unlike the others which are transparent.) When Lois asks why is this the case, Batman replies by saying “the World Army has many atrocities to hide.” He opens the shielding to reveal to everyone’s surprise that the prisoner inside is a child. Sato asks in shock why the World Army had a “child” imprisoned and Batman reveals that the “group” Accountable, which Sato called a “group of traitors who hack into private systems and release information online,” is just him and that he can gain access to anything.

Jimmy wakes up, asking what the year was and Batman tells him that it is 2014 and it is January. Is asks if that is all and when Batman questions if it was a problem, he jokes “you get put in a stasis chamber and you expect to wake up in the year 3000 or something.” Marella tells him that if he was disappointed he could go back in the pod, but he interrupts excitedly recognising Marella as “Aquawoman.”However she tells him that she doesn't acknowledge that name. He sits down cross legged on the floor and asks if he could have a phone to check on his “feed and get caught up”, but realises not of them do, calling them “the Queen of the Sea, the red robot woman whom obviously has no pockets and the apparently not dead Batman on steroids.” Sato hands him a phone and he thanks her, before he plugs it into his hand and begins reading the current latest. Batman confirms to him about a continent being destroyed the day before and that Superman is back but says “he's a douche now” after reading what he had done. He also learns about an incursion of Parademons and tells Batman to hang on while he tries to make sense of it when Batman asks. He creates holographic files, telling them that the Parademons are coming out of the Firepits in Rio, Rome, Karachi and tells them he will say everywhere to save time. He looks on in horror as Batman shoots the Joker, before Red Tornado covers his eyes and tells him not to look.
