How did the Justice League in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League turn evil?

The Justice League in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is turned evil by Brainiac, a multiversal alien who aims to conquer every planet he sets foot on while also collecting their remnants as souvenirs. Furthermore, he can assume psychic control of his enemies, making him a formidable threat akin to the likes of Darkseid.

In his mission to conquer Metropolis and, subsequently, the entire planet, he takes control of the strongest Justice League members, i.e., Superman, Green Lantern, Batman, and Flash. While Brainiac alone isn't that strong, his real strength lies in his psychic abilities.

Once he takes control of his subjects, they essentially become his minions, serving his every command. Brainiac also helms a mothership, which amplifies his abilities.

He's the reason why the Justice League in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League suddenly turned rogue and started attacking the very people they swore to protect.
