Well that's upsetting. I always liked Ray. He's like the DC equivalent to Hank Pym.

Has the new GL's identity been revealed yet?

His name is Baz, and he's the first Arab American GL.

Well, lookit DC for expanding the racial rainbow. Good for them.

LOL. I wish they didn't make him American, American GL's are just so common. But then I guess it wouldn't make sense for him to be a member of the Justice League of America.

Eh. You can't get everything you want, lol. I've been begging for a Cuban superhero since forever, and I'm pretty sure none of them exist. Some day, my people will have a superhero. Some day.

Kobalt

Alright! A Z-Lister!

Still written by Johns? I'll pass.

Catwoman? really? I know she was a member of the Outsiders, but this?

Her and the JLA don't seem to mix.....

Hay your not the only dude that wan't a hero, I can't remember a European superhero that wasn't stereotyped up the yingyang let alone a Scottish one

I feel you. Same goes for the Latino ones.

Should Have put Black Canary Instead of Katana.

So the JLI fails and so they bring in the JLA....interesting. I would rather the JL just be the JLA because that's what they've always been.....but overall I do like this idea. Strange roster, though. And I'm about 2 months behind on comics so I don't know the fate of MM and SW....

Following DC's pattern, this book should be released in January with 3 others in the "Fourth Wave." As a Catwoman fan, I'm super excited about this including her. She will obviously be the one that doesn't belong and that should make for some interesting dialogue.

I'm sensing a fight will occur between both teams

Nice, I like this group lol. Especially Ollie, J'onn and Catwoman(Selina?) That's new lol. New GL is interesting

I'm guessing MMH is the leader/look up to figure? Kind of like Superman is for his group?

Because you need a Bat like character, are you seriously thinking why Catwoman? Dick wouldn't get himself involved with a government's team neither would the current Batgirl (maybe if it was Cass or Steph) and why would you think of Batwoman as a JLA member? I am more into ask why is Katana in there or why isn't Atom there even Firestorm would be nice

Not bad but not an interesting roster.

Really?

Once again DC is showing a complete lack of creativity in this new 52. Why does ever title need to sound like each other? Justice League, Justice League Dark, Justice League International, now Justice League of America? Batman, Batman and Robin, Batman Inc, Batman: The Dark Knight.

Can we please get some kind of distinction here!!!!

Why not have called JLI the Global Guardians. JLD could have been Shadowpact or Sentinels of Magic. JLA seems a perfect fit to be called Outsiders. These are important team names that have existed for decades in the DC Universe and yet all the current writers want to use are variations of Justice League.

DC really needs an editor/creative director with either some brains or some balls cause right now neither seem to be the driving force of the company.

.........well maaaybe I would be more excited if I knew how this came about story-wise. Still, I'm not feeling this roster. Katana should stay with BOP and Catwoman on any JL team is a BIG NO NO for me. She's better off on BOP in my opinion.

Who's Vibe?

Wouldn't Captain Atom or Firestorm be better suited for this team?

idk y but i just do not like vibe. but ill check this out , looks very interesting...

i rather switch out vibe with plastic man but w/e lol

Yawn...

How much you want to bet, Batman is going to be in this too?

Well, I dunno.

Not wild about Catwoman as a member of the Justice League in any capacity.

Also, putting Stargirl on the team brings up a ton of questions about the Starman legacy and about her stepfather, the former Stripesy (to the original Star Spangled Kid). I think I would have prefered having her in the new Earth 2 series.

Dammit I'm going to need to reconsider my pull list again... Awesome news tho! :)

I'm so glad to see J'onn back in action under a JL title. But Catwoman? I doubt that will last long. Selina's tried being good before, but with a klepto personality??? We'll see how long she can keep from getting sticky fingers. So did Trevor ditch babysitting A.R.G.U.S.??? I guess we won't see him much in JL Dark after this current arc...? (Isn't he dead in one of the other story lines anyways? I think I'm the only one who is confused about Trevor in this line up...)

Looks good, I'm sure the Manhunter's fans will be happy to see him back on a JL team. Catwoman though, that's interesting.

Yes,I'm really really really happy

I'm glad to see Vibe on the team and I hope that he is well written and not some walking stereotype. As others have mentioned, I'm not sure if I like Catwoman being on the team. While I like the character, this just doesn't seem like the right place for her. I thought she was a great addition to the Outsiders a few years back, but I don't see her as League material.

Really?

yoooooo this is awesome i love the john stewart outfit

Are they drunk? Catwoman? Steve Trevor? Who the f*ck cares 1 and 2? The race crime? Star Girl?

I really want to know if they change the real name of Vibe. Paco Ramone ... come on guys. But as a puertorican Im exited to have him in the roster. What title are they gonna cancel?

I am glad to see Green Arrow, Hawkman and the Martian Manhunter on a JL book but this is one of the worst lineups in JLA history. We are most definitely back to the idiotic EXTREEEEEEEEEEEME 90's.

This is probably the team assembled by the US government to keep an eye on the original JL. It is a stupid plot point to give fanservice moments to those fans who spend their time on battle forums with heroes fighting each other.

Because why would you write original stories and interesting character development when all you need to do is have dickish characters fight each other for no reason except "the plot said so".

Very interesting. I'll definitely read it.

Don't like most of those characters. And this must mean something bad's going to happen to unfortunate Hal Jordan. Not good at all.

I posted earlier how I hope Manhunter is still on Stormwatch, and I'm kind of pissed off I don't see more being written about the title. It's been a good one, and with Stormwatch being one of the merging universes after the new 52 revamp, I'm surprised there hasn't been more news about them. On any of the comics sites, not just this one. I haven't seen much use of characters from those worlds either with the exception of a couple villains like Hellspont and Pike. Mid-Nighter was seen in Grifter, but Grifter (with his stupid ass catchers pads) and Midnighter were already seen together enough in the Stormwatch world. DC keeps letting me down. So much potential and it's being misused.

@nj06:

i feel the same way. she is more powerful as an individual, also im guessing steve trevor is not dead or faked his death, or he will be brought back to life. but to say that this is the government's response to the normal justice league is definitely an interesting move, and hopefully we can have them join forces

@moywar700 said:

This is interesting.I noticed they were trying to be more diverse within the team.

Catwoman in JLA? Not sure if i like it...

It's not the justice league without the Martian Man Hunter. after reading the interview with MTVgeek I'm actually getting interested in this (3rd wave i'm guessing, though which title will be cancelled?). At first i was like "dafuq?! catwoman?" but after reading the interview it kinda made more sense (i mean Vibe being recruted to the team after stopping three liquor store robberies, with one of those being by accident) though atm i'm more concered with how they will portray Star Girl. This has interested me though, and can only be better than the other Justice League title. :)

Everyone doesn't have pouches, guns, spikes and should pads, yup we're in the 90's. And no you can't say that this is the first time DC has done a more elite Justice League, or have you never read Justice League Elite. I like the roster as well because i think Johns could do a better job then what he have done in JL.

@DarthShap: I think there purpose is deeper than keeping an eye on Justice League. Especially since the first arc will be about the Secret Society of Super villains.

I have read Elite and it was a pretty good series. However, editorial completely missed the point on that one. It came out of Action Comics #775 which was supposed to be a one-time thing mocking the EXTREEEEEEEME comics of the 90's...and then it created a whole title based on those characters.

Also, the Elite were mostly new characters and they were not exactly superheroes for the most part and when they did fight the JLA, they had 0 superheroes on their team, so it really was not about having superheroes fight one another for splash pages sake.

I just read Vibe was dead and then a Black Lantern. Are there anymore characters that have died, but are alive without an explination??? Heros or villains???

I am guessing it is probably the USA's version of Stormwatch, kind of like "The Americans" from Millar's run on The Authority.

New universe.

I dont understand this lineup.

So does this mean that titles like Hawkman, Green Arrow, Catwoman, Stormwatch, Birds of Prey, etc. are going to be coming to a close?

I just want Martian Manhunter on the regular Justice League. Im fine with him being the 8th member just as long as he is involved.

@RalfvdH said:

Must say I kinda like this line-up...

Same here. I'm looking over it and I like the flavor of this team. Finch's art is usually on point so that helps, but something about this B-League squad captivates my interest.

Not to fund of the line up.i would've done it with.MARY MARVEL=LADY QUARK=VIXEN=ISIS=MARTAIN MANHUNTER=GREEN ARROW=HAWKMAN=BLACK LIGHTNING=STEVE TREVOR=CPT COMET

Hey If you look at the FCBD preview of Trinity War you see the Justice League of America (i myself just noticing had to post) Very excited to see where this is going.

What makes you think it will be anything like that? GJ said he's going for a JSA feel to the book

Because Trevor is an agent of the US government, because Johns seemed to go for some sort of "The JL is a threat" plot a few issues ago and because we know they are going to be fighting in Trinity War.

Also, I am guessing what he meant by JSA feel was the Black Reign arc. The rest of his two JSA runs are about family and legacy and I really do not see how it would fit this team.
