New Members Announced for JUSTICE LEAGUE

The team is getting really big suddenly.

We've seen the issue where it was shown that the Justice League refused to allow other members to join the team. Something really big went down with Martian Manhunter. Green Arrow was determined to join but they would't have anything to do with him. All that's about to change.

Today at Fan Expo, it was announced that the roster is changing, big time.

No Caption Provided

You should notice one difference. This is going to be JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. Geoff Johns will be joined by David Finch and the team will be under the guidance of Steve Trevor. On the team we see Vibe, Catwoman, Martian Manhunter, the new Green Lantern, Stargirl, Katana, Hawkman and Green Arrow.

You can check out an interview with Johns and Finch over at MTV Geek.

What do you think about this roster? Does this team make sense? We'll see more of this in 2013. Are you ready for another Justice League comic?

EDIT

To clarify, this is a NEW title. It's mentioned above but to be clear, we'll have JUSTICE LEAGUE and JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA.

From DC's blog:

Launching in 2013, DC Comics will publish a new ongoing comic book series, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, written by Geoff Johns and drawn by David Finch.

Is this the first ongoing since the relaunch that has been announced, but not as a replacement for another title?

Also, I like Justice League for the popcorn and explosions book it is, and Finch is a good fit for another book in that style, so I'm in.

Catwoman is in this team for the money.I like her to mention how big of a paycheck she got and have a scene in her own book where she's sitting in a chair counting her earnings.

@Jonny_Anonymous: ...wait, this is an entirely new team altogether?

Edit: Wait, never mind. Just reread the whole post.

So this is supposed to be like what Secret Avengers is to the Avengers? Alright, I can settle with this.

NO! Does this mean Johns is leaving Aquaman like the rumors have said?? It's my favorite title and was hoping Johns would be on it for a long time with Reis. I'm not even interested in this.

Really hope that doesn't happen, wld rather him write aquaman than this n give him the green lantern treatment.

Is that confirmed? I don't want him to leave Aquaman like he left Flash... He made me care about Barry Allen, then he just up and left...

@Jonny_Anonymous: If that's the case then I'm on board. For a second I thought that Catwoman was going to be an actual Leaguer, lol.

I know. I hated Aquaman before Johns took over. He was dumb. I like Green Lantern too, but that's not nearly as good as Aquaman. Why can't he drop Justice League?? That title isn't nearly as good. It's almost unheard of for a writer to do four series at once. So it's highly unlikely he's staying on all these titles.

@Jonny_Anonymous: I can dig it. Still wondering what's gonna happen with the JLI members, though. Booster Gold is one of my favorites. Is Trinity War the New Gods event that everyone's talking about?

interesting line up. There's a good variety to it so character interactions should be good. However I'm curious over the need for another team book, given International's lack of success.

Has Katana left Birds of Prey? I've not been keeping up with that lately.

if we recall justice league 8 Steve Trevor does say that Green Arrow was welcomed onto a different team instead of the JL , so maybe this is that other team.

What the heck? Catwoman should be a criminal not a hero. Ug I hate when they try and change that. Even if she was a hero it wouldn't be as a Justice League Team. Stargirl? I'm glad she still exists but she is to young to be on a Justice League team. Still going to b1tch about MM not being a founder. I couldn't care less about Vibe and Katana doesn't seem like Justice League to me either. Isn't she a big time killer now? 
 
So this is the JL of America group right? Doesn't look that way to me.

Looks decent. Doubt I'll pick it up though. Johns' writing on this book didn't get me past the third issue, adding new team members won't make me want to read again.

No way. I'd rather he left Aquaman than GL. Sorry Sand but GL beats Aquaman in my eyes any day. Plus Green Lantern is John's baby (disturbing image I know) He's still got plenty to do with the title I hope. This Third Army event's caught my eye.

Those costumes are a mess. Catwoman being in this title really worries me. I can easily see a romance between her and Green Arrow forming, when that should never happen. Also, with David Finch as the artist, god knows that just means a continuation of the sexist and demeaning Catwoman artwork that's been dogging DC since the relaunch (just when we thought it was over...).

I'm glad about Stargirl especially. I completely forgot Johns was in love with her from his JSA work.

I hate the team being JLA, though. But at least this time, it makes sense as the team is formed by the US government.
