Nope, it it wasn't. The way it looked, the whole Flash thing was an excuse. Those events were gonna happen one way or another.
Anyway, back on the topic at hand...
Wasn't this done before? If not then my apologies...
Everyone brings their own value to the team...
Superman is loved by the public, so him being on the team is a major step towards the league being accepted... plus he's an inspirational part of the team too... i mean, what hero doesnt respect superman?
Batman is batman... he's the human element (as in, no powers)... he's also (as someone else said) the one with morals that stretch further than everyones...
WW is the strong female... and the only person her ruthlessness comes second to is bats (and in places overtakes it)
MM is... well he's MM, versatility and intelligence personified...
Everyone else brings their own value to the team too, but imo the ones above are the most valuable (not in that order)

Thats really quite interesting in fact. I always seen the JLA as a chance to give D.C.'s other power houses a chance to shine. Therefore I've always seen Superman as an unnecessary luxury. Although he was pretty intrinsic to the Team through out the last Volume.
In answer to the original question id have to go with and Green lantern and at the moment that would have to be HAL. After Hal, id go with Batman although many dispute his necessity.

I disagree. JLA one suggest that Tornadoe (When he returns to his Android body) will be given a major upgrade, and i see B.L. as a potential Jenny Sparks. You should see how useful she was to the original Storm Watch as a covert member. After reading 0 and 1 im really confident that 'Brad' knows what he is doing.
