Another Justice League

http://www.newsarama.com/WWLA/08/DC/countdown.html

I'm sure many of you have already seen this, but oh well.

Robinson then announced that he's working on a new Justice League book called - wait for it - Justice League. "Hal Jordan decides that he wants a pro-active team," said Robinson. "They never go out and bring in people. This team will go after the equivalent of the FBI's most wanted list, sometimes in different countries, sometimes through time. It's a nice eclectic team of established teams and some oddball characters I've thrown in." Along with Hal Jordan, Robinson named Green Arrow as a member. When writing the two characters, Robinson said "I just imagine me and Geoff Johns talking to each other."

Robinson expanded on the lineup, naming Ray Palmer. "He's not The Atom, but he still has the costume, and he still shrinks," Robinson says. "That's not to say at some point he won't be The Atom but again, but for now, he's Ray Palmer."

Also on the team? Supergirl, Batwoman (DiDio: "Whoops, we weren't supposed to say that one. Just kidding!"😉, Freddy Freeman in "whatever name he's going to have" (which DiDio said was Shazam), and Starman. No, not the Jack Knight Starman that Robinson made famous in the '90s, but the blue, alien Mikaal Tomas Starman.

Robinson said the final member is an "old, 90-year-old man named Bill." "People are going to love this character by the time I'm done with him," Robinson said. The writer was about to name the artist, but no, DiDio cut him off and said they were going to hold off on that announcement.

"The difference is, the Justice League of America is all about the league, it's a family," said Robinson. "While this is about justice. It's all about bringing in the bad guys."

Hal Jordan leading a Justice League? Hell yeah.

Hal Jordan being the leader of a second-string Justice League? Demoted to the likes of Supergirl and Batwoman?

What?!

Yeah I read this a while ago.

Because with McDuffie on the title, he wants all the black characters front and center in the main book, so Hal is thrown out, so he can give the character pushes to Black Lightning, John Stewart, and Vixen, who have been the center of the series since his takeover.

Outside of Batwoman, the team looks dope though. Maybe she'll grow on me... but probably not.

jesus, there's a bat woman?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's noticed that, recently....

Black Lightning, Stewart, and Vixen have been portrayed as more powerful/important than Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, et cetera.

I saw this coming back in the 40s.

I knew Hal would be thrown out. So much for the partnership dealio.

At least he gets to be the leader of a team with solid superstar characters like Supergirl, Batwoman, and Starman.

This actually looks decent, and any hal ollie interaction is good...

Very true. At the absolute least, the Green Lantern/Arrow dynamic will be good.

Gotta say though, I do have confidence in Robinson.

Sounds interesting but Juntai is right... Batwoman needs to go...or better yet erased from DC history.

Maybe we'll get lucky in Final Crisis?

That's what I'm hoping for.

She's completely craptastic.

yeah, fingers crossed the rest of the book is just as good... jla literally ony has benes' art going for it, imo...

Hal and Ollie is kind of an old hat. Doesn't help that I don't like Ollie.

I have nothing against Vixen or Black Lightning, but I can't stand John. He is far to arrogant and nunworthy to be a GL. I want to see more interaction between Superman, Wonder Woman and Hal, because in my opionion, Hal should be part of the Holy Trinity. Batman is too overrated, they need to bring him down and give Hal a try. Anyways if they write a new Justice league, you can't forget Flash. As for the other members, I would like to see Supergirl and Dr. Fate.

or if not have remake the justice league as a whole and include the following members as the core.

Superman, WonderWoman, Hal Jordan, Dr. Fate (kent), Zatanna, Vixen, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, Flash and Batman (reserve) and or Hawkman (Carter Hall)

p.s. I can wait for Red Tornado, he is finally going to get an upgrade, it is about time.

He is?

Red Tornado upgrade = another excuse for him to get blown to pieces and put back together

It was implied on suicide squad. I cant remember exactly what steel says, but he stated that his new suit will stronger and better than ever. That's what I got out of it, but I might be wrong though 😬
Anyways, I hope he gets an upgrade. It would be really cool. 🙂
He is an awesome character, or so i believe.
