SUPERGIRL REBIRTH #1 (with J'onn J'onzz as DEO Director Hank Henshaw! Nah that would never work.).He at least is in there somewhere, and with his own title: WONDER WOMAN #1 (with J'onn Jonzz as Mars!)Ĭyborg - the new 52 replacement for MM and a character DC has been trying to force feed us for decades - fares a little better.SUPERMAN #1 (with J'onn Jonzz as Joan Jonas the WGBS Weathergirl!).GREEN LANTERNS #1 ( with J'onn Jonzz as All the Stewardesses!).GREEN ARROW #1 ( with J'onn Jonzz as Diggle!).THE FLASH #1 (with J'onn Jonzz as Harrison Wells!).BATMAN #1 (with J'onn Jonzz as Detective Jones!).His title is cancelled and there's no sign of him lurking in any of the 'new 32' titles that are part of DC's streamlined offerings.
Well, it's pretty clear Martian Manhunter's not on deck or even in the bullpen for JLA this time. "Oh, thank goodness YOU were here, J'onn I don't know WHAT we would have done without you! " They could, of course Superman can do anything. The poor Martian Manhunter, who, as previously discussed, never got to do anything but suck or blow in JLA stories, because that wasn't something the others generally did. Only those heroes who were strong enough to have survived the 1950s' "lean years" for superheroes, who still had their own titles (or had found shelter in back-up stories, as did Aquaman), or the revamped ones meant to usher in the new era of superheroes Only Icons Need Apply. Membership in the JLA, however, mean the opposite.
"Of course, in my case 'raised' means 'wrote a cashier's check'. Active membership in the JSA meant you weren't enough of an icon to have your own comic. This is why when the (Jay Garrick) Flash become popular enough to get his own title, he left the JSA. This is why Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman were members of the JSA in name only and appear only in passing. As a publishing concept, the purpose of Justice Society was as a proving ground for superhero characters that didn't have yet enough popularity to carry their own titles. It's exactly the opposite of the Justice Society. Truth be told, the Justice League, as I have pointed out before, isn't a mere 'update' of the Justice Society.
ALL SIXES AND SEVENS MOVIE QUOTE UPDATE
Those were the characters DC chose to include in its modern update of the Justice Society, the new "Justice League", at the start of the Silver Age and its 'rebirth' of DC's superhero lines of comics. You know who they are DC knows who they are heck, everyone knows who they are: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, and Green Lantern. Ugh, there's really no other way to say that, is there? You win again, Kal. But they are overshadowed by the fact that DC has six, well.'super-iconic' characters. But Plastic Man, Shazam, Batgirl, heck, Krypto DC is tripping over iconic characters. Sure, Cave Carson and Oddman don't have a lot of ancillary merchandise. That's really a misnomer DC has LOTS of iconic characters. The problem is: DC only has six iconic characters. Iconically, the JLA has seven member (or "core members" when it's larger). This has always been a problem in the Justice League. Every week brings more news of who's going to be doing what on which titles.īut on thing remains tantalizing unclear, at least to me: As we approach our landing in the strange new (?) country of the DCU's Rebirth, the contours of its coast are acquiring finest details.
