Their HQ isn't in America, less than half of the members are American, and they don't defend America exclusively. It seems that as far as the US is concerned, the words "America" and "world" are interchangable. How arrogant is that?! mad

Just a comic.

Why is Spuerman called superman? He is not a man.

Because "Justice League of Earth" sounds lame...that's why.

I was talking to the "How arrogant is that?! mad" guy; should have used quote tags.

And every one of the "Big Seven" is either American or comes from a non-existant location. Since Superman is an American citizen, dispite being an alien, that makes a majority of the major JLA members American, DarkAge.

Not to mention the blasted comic is MADE AND WRITTEN IN AMERICA.

Its j; of AMERICA, because thats where most of the founding members lived at the time. When the JLA were founded, the comics were being sold mostly to a patriotic, facist AMERICA

Americans have a weird idea of patriotism. Wrap something in an American flag and it somehow transcends reason. *coughFoxNewscough*

Not all Americans. That would be like me saying all Europeans liked Hitler.

I don't know, I commonly see it referred to as simply the "Justice League" or "The League", I rarely see "of America" added (Though obviously I know it's there).
