Official JLA discussion thread - Part 1

[Anubis]

In other words, complete bulls**t.

 

[hippie_hunter]

They should have put J'onn and Black Canary over god damn Cyborg

 

[trustyside-kick]

I want J'onn to also go to the BD look in the DCnU at one point, period regardless of where he stands if he doesn't stay at Stormwatch for long. I have an Aquaman collection and I'm strict on it but as a loophole of J'onn being a good pal of his I got the BD figure because the design is so simply yet so awesome.

 

[HighFivingMF]

I'd rather Hawkman, Green Arrow, or Blue Beetle over Cyborg. But Cyborg's cool and my favorites are on the team anyhow. So fudge it.

 

[Anubis]

I don't mind him being on the team. What I do mind is that he is now a founder and J'onn isn't.

 

[trustyside-kick]

One of the SDCC podcasts addressed J'onn and his standing with the League in that he is technically a founder or some stuff. They made it sound like it will be addressed in the JL book so didn't want to spoil the explanations.

 

[Hush]

Well he ain't on the cover and that's ******ed. I always though Cyborg was dumb and will always be a Titan too me.

The JLA are racist toward aliens so they wont let J'onn join

 

[trustyside-kick]

Yea to me Cyborg is a character that will never elevate about TT for me either. Only time he will is in like a future story where the main/original/common JLA members are long dead.

 

[Mystirious]

I've got no problem with Cyborg being on the JLA but i do think its a shame J'onn isn't as well

DC is pathetic! I get sick of this "BLOW UP THE UNIVERSE" and start over again crap! What is this...5 times now???

and now part of this new "start up" is leaving JONN JONZZ out of the starting line-up??? Are you kidding??

 

[Shazam]

DC says that the reason that J'onn isn't there is because they already have an alien on the team--Superman--as the reason "in a nutshell" but in terms of when that is explained and put into further detail in the comic it will be worded/shown in a good way since given Superman's introduction to the world apparently wasn't in the best light they (as in the people of the DCnU world) are weary of another alien being on the team. But in a nutshell that is the reason they mentioned at SDCC.

Good Grief!!!

 

[Shazam]

With all these DC changes....how does this effect the Justice Society??? Is that blown up too?

 

[Mystirious]

No mention of the JSA but it looks like their not around any more

 

[CLARKY]

Good Grief!!!

I second this.
As someone mentionned I would have like Black Canary, or Zatanna, or J'onn (of course). I am not really questionning WHY the MartianManhunter is not in the League but I am questionning why the h*ll is Cyborg in the league.

WHAT!! ????

 

[Shazam]

Why blow up everything!?? AGAIN!!! Why not creat new books based on those 52 new earths they just brought back????

Does the multiverse still exist??

 

[Mystirious]

Yep Morrison is going to do a series about the multiverse its still around

Why are you asking questions you already know the answers to?

It's a periodical thing. There is a hard reboot every 20-25 years or so, with only two characters keeping most of their history. From the Golden Age to Silver was 16-18 years. Silver age to Post crisis was 30 years and then from Crisis to now is 25 years.

I'd wager my left nut they show up eventually.

There wasn't a hard reboot from GA to SA. Things changed a lot, granted, but there was never a official event or time period when they totally rebooted it from scratch, or sort of but not really scratch.

 

[Anubis]

They just created a new universe. No big event no nothing. Then later they said that the GA one was simply another universe that they could travel to on a cosmic treadmill.

 

[Hush]

Which when you say it like that Nubs sounds awesome. I wonder how many calories you can burn on a cosmic treadmill.

Oh, yeah, I guess that is right, didn't even think of it like that. Just think, two universes going on and being somewhat active at the same time. Madness.

Depends which parallel earth your travelling to
