As it turns out, the updated Justifier helmets are a blend between Apokoliptian technology and the Mad Hatter's mind control devices. Hatter's technology proves to be Libra's undoing: after being forced to watch his daughter be exposed to the Equation, Doctor Sivana teams up with Lex Luthor and gives him control of the Justifiers by activating a device that transmits his voice as Darkseid's, stating Hatter's devices are archaic in comparison to his own technologies.[5] Luthor then uses the Justifiers to attack the Female Furies. The heroes (and presumably the villains as well) were freed from the Equation's thrall when Wonder Woman (freed from her mental conditioning) wrapped her lasso around Darkseid's corpse, disrupting the control.
