Doctor D.P.
The guy who wrote the last few issues of Firestorm looks like he's going to be taking over the J.L.A., with a new line up. Sounds ok to me, although I would have preferred Dini, Waid or Morisson.

http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=116926

I hope Firestorm gets on the Team.

This on the other hand made my nickers go all funny. Absolutely CAN'T wait to start buying the Flash again. And its looks like its either going to be Wally or Barry, again !!!!!!!! big grin

Good.

Flash Sucked, they had such potential with Inertia and they let it all go to waste with a cheap bargain bin villain plot.

I cant wait, Waids one of my favourite writers and although i haven't read his Flash run its regarded as one of the best. big grin

Hopefully he still has what it takes...

McDuffie is absolutely the best choice. Neither Waid's or Morrison's run was overly special but Duffie's JLU was the best animated superhero related TV show ever, throw live action in there cause Smallville definitely can't match the quality of it.

His run on FF4 so far has proven he can handle team's very effectively too. Glad to see Benes will still be on art.

Sorry my mistake .... mann that took a long time to verify. It didn't mention on his Wiki page any of his marvel stuff, like Beyond and FF4 e.t.c.

No?

I'd place JLU Season 4 or 5 well beyond either of their entire runs and classify it as special.

Morrison's JLA was probably one of the weaker works he's ever done in his career imo.

And Morrisons JLA run, was probably the best of the entire previous JLA series, and is certainly not a low point in his collection. A beautifully crafted 50-some odd issue storyarc.

If he puts Jonn on the team.

Or-f#cking-gasmic.

Wally West
J'onns going to be on the Outsiders, can't see him being on both teams.

Batman and Nightwing should trade teams if the JLA and Outsiders are going to be getting new line-ups, but they won't do it since Nightwing is already confirmed for the new Outsiders line up sad

By the way didn't McDuffie come up with the cosmic arm-lock? Wonder if we'll be seeing Batman physically overpower Supes?!

Kyle will continue to be a shadow in Hal's image. (hyuk, hyuk!)

Now, regarding The Flash. I really hate how DC likes to play compete with heroes of different generations. The only thing this will cause is another fanboy riot. The Allen fans vs. the Wally fans....oh, it's been done with GL....

...just look above. wink

Validus
It's either Kyle or Superboy Prime playing host to Parallax.

Kyle.

They already have a super-guy in the Sinestro Corps , why have another ?

Also Emoboy Prime is a little too awesome to just become a host for a giant custard stick insect.

I agree entirely ! smile

Emo-Prime has been stated by Dan Didio to feature in the Sinestro War. I think the Guardians will probably have to resort in using him on their side. eek!

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the female gaurdians recruited him. They said they were going to collect all emotions so why not give SBP a weapon fuled by his rage?

Granted but ever since Rebirth they've been banging it into our heads that Kyle would never fall under Parallax like a certain weak minded GLC member previously did ( stick out tongue). It would be a total 180 in character direction.

I hope they don't try to kill Kyle or Superboy Prime off or even worse try and justify it by making them do a big heroic sacrifice.

Emo Boy Prime is too evil for that. No one cares for Kyle now though , what with Hal being back and all...

The sales for Ion were good enough to spawn an ongoing. Only reason it didn't was because DC wanted Kyle for all these Countdown related shenanigans.

Its doesn't matter when the 180 happened, its still a 180 !

That's not what I was saying. Superman's shift in direction was gradual what with the Birthright mini and the whole storyline leading up to Superman #200. That's not so much a 180 as it is a character development.

Kyle just suddenly becoming Parallax after 2 years of DC telling us how pure and good he is would be completely different.

Skeets
Kyle sucks,they should retcon him into the love child of Norman Osbourn and Gwen Stacey.

I hope not, the concept of the villain united really sucked IMO. As if Cosmic threats such as Sinestro would give a crap about the affairs of a lowely planet such as Earth. Fair enough, the Idea of Luthor Joining up with Deathstroke, Vandal Savage, Talia, the Joker and Doctor Psycho is a cool idea. But don't bring in Galactic conquerors such as Mongul and Despero and Gods such as Granny Goodness!

Doctor D.P.
Yahh !

http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/wizard/004855823.cfm

I think the Team will look like this ;

Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Firestorm, John Stewart, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Vixen

Blair Wind
wait they are changing the lineup already? confused

Validus
He didn't say he was changing the lineup. One person is joining .

Ideally, yes.

Then Mogo and Alan tag-team the entire universe in the next Crisis (aka why Digi should never control a comic company).

It's practically the same idea but calling it differently.

Villains United=Injustice League.

Blair Wind
I still think Black Adam doesnt "fit"

but eh....and glad they are not changing the lineup. I like the team right now (with one or two additions I would make, but overall I like it)
