SuaveStar Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Who the fuck is Congorilla. And isn't cyborg meant to be the Titans mentor I thought. That line up does look shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Kick Dr Light, The Guardian and Congorilla out and you've got a decent team there, its about time Cyborg and Starfire got a shot, especially since they finished with the Teen Titans a couple of years back, plus the next-gen Trinity of Grayson, Troy and Mon-El is going to be interesting. Hal and Ollie can rep the old school league just fine, with Hal leading the group I suppose. I like the lineup, obviously barring the unless three I named. Still find it odd that Canary is getting kicked to the curb whilst her own husband is getting back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prez Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 According to Newsarama, the Atom is Ray Palmer. Badass, John Wayne, take-no-shit Ray Palmer from "Cry for Justice" I imagine. (Actually, Newsarama's breakdown of the lineup is pretty good if you have time to go read it.) And I agree with the general consensus here - that lineup will NOT make me read the book again.

Molly Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Dammit. I really, really like that incarnation of Palmer. Makes sense that coming off of Cry For Justice, Hal, Ollie and Ray would all take to the League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prez Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll add Batgirl to the lineup, Preston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 The new Batgirl is way too green to be on the League. If anything, she should be on the Teen Titans or JSA, but she has to grow on her own before joining a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 In a recent episode of Word Balloon, James Robinson discussed why the advertised / teased roster changed. - Mon-El is headed back to the future or the Phantom Zone. - Green Arrow is gone because of his new direction. - The Guardian was dropped because "using [him] didn't feel right" after Robinson left Superman. - Starfire is heading to REBELS. - Green Lantern is gone because he's too involved in other storylines. - No word on where The Atom, Doctor Light, and Cyborg are headed. So the new team will be: - Donna Troy - Batman (Dick Grayson) - Congorilla - Starman (Thom Kallor) - Jade - Jesse Quick - Supergirl He tried to sell it as his Big Seven, but come on! That is a low-rent Justice League. Seriously, does DC not want the Justice League to work? It's their premier team book. Outside of Hal (who I'm okay with the team losing because Johns has had longterm plans for him for years), the rest of the DCU should have to bend to what the writers / editors of JLA want. If a team is announced, you don't kill it because the REBELS creative team (no disrespect) wants Starfire or Green Arrow needs to become a loner again. Granted, I wasn't sold on the teased team as a whole to begin with (outside of it looking like the Teen Titans had finally graduated), but the point remains.

SuaveStar Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm calling it now, DC will renumber JL in one year. The Atom is heading towards a back up in Adventure Comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Personally, I'd rather the REBELS creative team gets what they want than this bullshit-show. But really, Congorilla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm calling it now, DC will renumber JL in one year. The Atom is heading towards a back up in Adventure Comics. Adding to that, it will happen after Brightest Day is over (which is in one year, as you said), and the team will be the Silver Age big guns: Superman Batman (Bruce) Wonder Woman The Flash (Barry) Green Lantern (Hal) Aquaman Martian Manhunter or The Atom (Ray) I also wouldn't be surprised if one or both of the Hawks wind up there. And you know what? I assumed Robinson meant Thom when he said Starman, but it's probably Mikaal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Outside of Congorilla, I don't entirely hate that roster. Though I really don't care because James Robinson will still be writing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 One of the things that James Robinson said during C2E2 is that he apparently has stories planned for the next few years. Sales aren't bad on the book so, for the time being, I doubt he's going anywhere. His writing on the title is getting better. Not enough where I'm going to start buying the book but still not as bad.
