which of these JLA heavy weights is the most important

sorry about the Superman insult..I meant son from Kyrpton.

I think that officially, there are the permament members and reserve members, and no JLAer is officially the leader, but unofficially, it's always been Superman, with batman coming in at a close second (he funds the team)

hmmmmm......zcartoons0045

Wonder Woman 4 me! She's eye candy.
oh, And she can kick much butt. Never hurts to have a powerful female character.

agreed....but still gotta go with Bruce....Strong guys can be replaced..smart guys..not as easily.

The top 3 have always been WW,bruce and Kal.

The main memebrs (inner circle) are:
Kal
Bruce
Diana
GL (originally Hal)
Aquaman
J'onn
Wally

batman....he knows how to defeat every member (including the reserves) and if he ever went rouge they would all be fraggeled

Martian Manhunter. They'd be lost without his telepathy.

Batman
Gl
superman
hawkgirl
Aquaman
Green arrow
wonderwoman

superman and batman are the top two imo, both for completely different reasons...

superman cos well, when everything goes pear shaped superman is the one people look to...

and batman, because he's the polar opposite of superman... and the money doesnt hurt either...

Superman is the current chairman, but Bats is the top dog. cuz supes only accepted the position out of formality, but bats is the one behind the whole team brains wise and financially

Hawkgirl is a JSA member, not JLA (uless you are talking about the cartoon JLU version).
GA is a reserve member.

Good points....The Tower of Babel storylinerock

Why can people on this board not spell 'Rogue'?

I think Superman. You can replace Batman with someone smart. You can replace Superman with someone strong. However when it comes to crunch time I'd rather have Superman with me than Batman.

-AC

MM, he's the most versatile on the team.

um..........

It doesnt mean hes important. Superman is really the glue that keeps them together, you think they'd follow batman with as much "love" as they do superman, I doubt it.

Plastic Man. He can kill every member if he wanted to and he's just that damn cool.

The Batman.

Without funding, they'd be bupkis!

Batman! burning_globe without him the world and the league would be in ruins.

Batman is winning ......I gotta make sure it stays that way.

i think every member of the JLA looks to superman as the leader figure, and i'm sure alot f the public do as well, however, Batman would be the most VITAL to the team, as he does support them finanically and has the brains to strategise stuff....

There was a stretch, around the JLI era, where Superman wasn't on the time. Batman left the team in a snit to form the Outsiders, and things went on. None of the members are indespensible.

Anyway; Martian Manhunter has Superman-like powers, and he's a detective, so that should make him most versatile.

true but Batman kicks the most ass! burlybrawl

Superman. Without Superman they are all lost.

Anyone besides me read "Kingdom Come"? Superman left, the entire JLA fell apart.

Without Aquaman the JLA crumbles like tin foil.

martian manhunter seems to be something like the spiritual leader of the group and thus very important, but Batman might be the most important too. Its one of those two.

I cant believe somebody actually voted for plasticman

I believe Batman because he knows everyone weakness and often make up their counter attacks...that should make him very necessary..more so than even Kal-el

maybe, though when everything goes pear shaped i'd rather have superman than batman...

seems to me the team struggles more when it's Batmanless than when it's Supermanless.

the team would fall apart without superman...

read kingdom come...

the jla booted batman and still survived...

read Superman/Batman one of the two newest issues..Batman was dead and the world was in ruins.

but the JLA can still function without him...

when superman died they had to bring in a whole team to replace him...

I believe they are both extremely important..but the JLA could function without them...but those two are the key members...if memory serves neither one of them were orginal members of the JLA.

Martian Manhunter has always been the on most committed to the League, he was a founding member, and they've never really had to get along without him. His telepathy gives him a link to pretty much every member, and his powers are on par with the likes of Superman. Yes Bats and Supes are important in their own right, but MM is like the embodiement of the JLA itself. People are going to look up to Bats and Supes no matter what team they're on, but J'onn is and always has been about the League.

I voted for Plastic Man cause he's pimp.

rolleyes3

I always believed the Martian Manhunter was the "heart" or embodiment of the group. He is the one who seems to guide them.

I feel ya homie..but I still think Bats is where it's at Jack and that's a fact..but MM would be my second choice. zcartoons0045

I don't know, obviously Batman is an important member, but the League was formed and has survived without him. Hell, the League almost disbanded thanks to his plans for taking them all down. MM lives for the JLA because that's all he's got. He doesn't favor Gotham or any other city for that matter, he is constantly working for the League, not dividing his time between his other dealings. He's everything the JLA is supoosed to be.

far enough..dude.

Went with Bats here, There was this temption to vote for Plastic Man though, But Bats won me over. I mean if the Joker ever attacks the JL, Who will they relie on to see the team though?? Sure not Superman,

if the joker commits a crime, sure they need batman... but in a fight, plastic man can take joker...

Anyone of the JLA can take the Joker. I could probably take the Joker if I had the right equipment.

In Wild Cards, he was not JUST commiting a crime, Not going to give away spoilers, BUT HAD BATMAN not been there. Supes would be a BRAIN DEAD ZOMBIE.
