Justice League of America

Team » Justice League of America appears in 172 issues.

The Justice League is said to be comprised of "The Worlds Greatest Superheroes". The current incarnation of the League bares resemblance to the original pre-Crisis Justice League of America but features updated versions of its cast of characters for the DC Universe's New 52 continuity.

You're put in charge of creating the roster for the Justice League movie. The only stipulations that the studio gives you are that you can only create a 6 person Justice League so that the film will be character-focused. You must also have one female character and one African American character.

Who's on your roster?

EDIT: Martian Manhunter does not count as Black. A Black woman can fulfill both requirements. You can choose more than 1 Woman and more than 1 Black person.

@Superdork: Can Martian Manhunter count as a black guy if that's what he picks as a secret identity?

#6 Posted by ArturoCalaKayVee (3631 posts) - 1 year, 2 months ago - Show Bio

@Gambit1024: I was legit just about to ask this. Because its thats the case I choose: Batman, Superman, Wonderwoman, GL, Flash, and Martian Manhunter. If MM doesn't count as the black person.....then I guess I would have to go with.... STEEL.

Superman - Immediatly lends the JL prestige and makes it easier for the public to trust, and he is also a major power house.

Batman- He'll bring in fans and he's a great strategist for the League

Flash ( Barry ) - Every super team needs a speedster

Green Lantern (Hal)- I'd have put John stewart in here to satisfy my minority need but the relationship between GL Barry and Bats is too good to pass up

Cyborg- satisfys my race based need and could be a cool character for this set up.

Wonder woman - as much as i don't like her she needs to be in this for fans

The Trinity obviously

Wally West - The best and most entertaining Flash in my opinion

John Stewart - Loved the way he worked with the team in the JL cartoon

Cyborg - I actually like him in the JL and think the team could use a good modern day tech expert. Not to mention the fact that he'd look awesome on the big screen, with his current look.

@TAneT62: It's quite simple. I really don't like her. She has always come off as rude and abrasive and her mission has never made sense to me. Hypollyta made a better wonder woman than Diana IMO. I'd much rather see Black Canary as a member. Black Canary is a strong female character who stands up for herself but doesn't come off badly. Also Canary doesn't have an invisible plane.

Yeah my opinion isn't based on her solo serieses. My problems with her originate from things like kingdom come, Her appearance in secret six, trinity, and other team focused stories. The only time I bothered with wonder woman solo was when JMS was in charge and I enjoyed that.

Seriously though. Black Canary can never be What Wonder Woman is? JLA year one, she was the first woman on the League. Black Canary has also led the league quite successfully and is an excellent role model for women.

#34 Posted by fodigg (4484 posts) - 1 year, 1 month ago - Show Bio

@SuperShafe: I think Black Canary has far more successful tenures with Birds of Prey and JSA than with the JLA. Her time leading the JLA was short and uninspiring. When they closed the chapter on that book they had to include a scene where characters reflected on their time together and the writer had to make up a bunch of adventures we never saw them have because the run was so bad.

Or wait, maybe I'm thinking of the JLA that came after them. The one with Grayson and Mon-El. We've had some bad JLA runs lately.

Just in case anyone is having trouble thinking of all DC's black heroes, here's as complete a list I could think up after sitting on it a while:

There's a lot of good options on that list.

Can't think of one. I wanted a futuristic, pseudo-science Justice League w/o magic. Can't think of anyone else who fits the bill. Booster Gold has the pedigree, but I already have a tech guy, a time traveler, and an energy wielder. So he isn't necessary.

Martian Manhunter kinda works but I already have two aliens. And I think that the sixth member should be female.

Thought about adding Raven, but then it has too many former Titans. Maybe Raven could be used for the sequel, in which they battle Trigon.

But when you get right down to it. There's no need for a sixth member.

I would go with the Classic 6 members. JLA mainstays.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Green Lantern.

Just make Green Lantern John Stewart instead of Hal Jordan.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman obviously.

then Aquaman, GL (john), and MMH.

Why? The only real options are John Stewart and Cyborg, but you have to have Hal as the GL, and Cyborg would suck in a Justice League movie.

Dems the rules. If you don't like them, then don't reply to the thread. It's not that hard to make a choice.

Also, there are a lot more than 2 Black heroes to choose from. You don't necessarily need to follow comics to the letter. The X-Films didn't and they turned out fine.

Black Heroes:

Amazing Man I, II, III, and IV

Aqualad II

Batwing

Black Lightning

Bronze Tiger

Bumblebee

Coldcast

Cyborg

Empress

Firestorm

Green Lantern

Jakeem Thunder

Hot Spot

Mister Terrific II

Mister Miracle III

Rocket

The Spectre

Steel

Vixen
