Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
Not replaceable with
textual coverage because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Because comics are a highly visual medium, it is sometimes necessary to provide illustrations to adequately define and represent the objects of discussion in a Wikipedia article.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This is a low-resolution scan of part of the interior page of a comic book. It is of insufficient quality to be used for the purposes of printed reproduction.

The copyright for this image is most likely owned by either the publisher (DC Comics) or the estate of the illustrator (Mike Sekowsky) who produced the 1965 comic book Justice League of America (volume 1) #35. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of art from comic books to illustrate the copyrighted character depicted; where no free alternative exists or can be created, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.
