Justice League Unlimited changed my mind. Now I am much more into the idea of a comic that highlights different superheroes in every story. <BR/><BR/>I like the idea of every hero in the DCU essentially being Justice League members (and the ones who aren't: reserve members). I love the idea of endless combinations, and of second or third-stringers getting their chance to shine. JLU was a brilliant series because it introduced a lot of casual fans to a wide variety of lesser-known characters. This is what the Justice League comic should do. I love my big three, and it makes sense that they would be leading the league in some capacity, but there are a lot of Batman titles, and a lot of Superman titles (and...a Wonder Woman title). I like reading a book that showcases Black Lightning or Red Tornado. <BR/><BR/>Why should the big three waste time voting heroes in or out? Let 'em all in! You know you're gonna need them anyway. I know comic fans love to argue about who is Justice League material and who isn't, but every single hero in the DCU is, y'know, impressive. I mean, they can all contribute something.rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180614738344530538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506571604546002016.post-34397684967996674812007-02-19T16:30:00.000-05:002007-02-19T16:30:00.000-05:00I think the question of who in the DCU is JL mater...I think the question of who in the DCU is JL material has become moot. At this point, if we're putting Vixen, Black Lighting, and Speedy/Arsenal/Red Arrow/Junky in the JL, who are we to deny such pleasures to Blue Beetle? Ideally, Justice League should never not include Superman, Batman, WW, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Aquaman, a Green Lantern (or two!) and Green Arrow, but that doesn't seem likely to happen. If you're going to have B and C list heroes in the League anyway, I say go all out and make it all the B and C list characters so we at least get some variety and DC gets a chance to showcase some of its better characters.<BR/><BR/>Then there's another big issue, which is that none of the people who fought to keep the League together while Batman and WW were tearing it apart are in the current incarnation. That's just annoying to those of us who were on the infinite crisis train for however long. JL needs to be the best or the best available, but I will not suspend disbelief enough for Meltzer to say 'Why would we want Martian Manhunter and Green Arrow when we could have Red Tornado and Green Arrow's junky sidekick?'BIG MIKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365147999145372102noreply@blogger.com
