Batman: brilliant tactician with the will and determination to do what has to be done, batman always finds a way
and
Superman: scientific genius who inspires all others and has the will and the powers to always save the day
But most of the other JLA members are almost as valuable if not exactly as valuable as those two. That's why they are a team after all. Everyone adds something unqiue and important.

In comics, Batman, because of DC's big three policy (Supes, WW, Bats). But many would argue that they *shouldn't* need Batman. Everyone is just written dumber when he isn't around. (that is a common argument).But funny how Flash is the least valuable, but on the forum he's the most broken. 😛
"Superman! You fight the big bad! Wonder Woman! Destroy his space ship! Martian Manhunter! Keep us all linked! Flash, evacuate civilians!"
Tends to be how it goes 🙂 Flash uses his most broken abilities the least often. He plays a major role in their power-combo moves, but then again so do GL and MM, and they're powerhouses too.
If someone's powers are a magic bullet against a particular threat, most often it's either Bat's thinking of something, WW's lasso, or GL coming up with something weird.

No, he was JSA. Though with the Star Rod, he's not bad by normal hero standards.
The JLA goes through phases. Sometimes they're the best of the best, or at least the non-core members are really powerful (ala Firestorm, Manitou Raven, etc.). Other times they have some padding added on.
Originally posted by Q99That's just my point though, the big 3 (if you aren't Supes, Bats, or WW screw you policy), but it's all good. Although the carton series making him comic relief 95% of the time didn't help either.

If Flash was broken in the comics, they wouldn't be a good read and story.
batman 4 MVP........i think martian manhunter comes 2nd.....he's just so versatile.
least valuable? now that's just really too hard to say, but based of powers(at least among the super-powered portion), I'd say wonder woman......yeah, i know, but her powers are IMO not as versatile as the others.
add zattana........if she was on the original roster, i'd pick her as the MVP(behind bats of course.lol)
