#Justice league america comic bookie series#
The series is set in the DC Animated Universe and based on the classic "Big Seven", expanding into Heroes Unlimited after the first two seasons the series' title was accordingly changed to Justice League Unlimited.Ī film adaptation set in the DC Extended Universe was released in 2017. This stopped happening regularly around 1986 when Crisis on Infinite Earths ended the original DC Multiverse, though the tradition has popped up sporadically since then (1998's "Crisis Times Five", 2002's JSA/JLA: Virtue and Vice, 2007's "The Lightning Saga").Īn animated television adaptation called Justice League aired from 2001 to 2006 on Cartoon Network and was produced by Warner Bros. Once labelled "Crisis on (Something)" fairly often commonly takes place at a get-together (or at a Christmas/Thanksgiving dinner post-Crisis) attended by both teams, when suddenly a villain attacks. The team has a long tradition of Crossovers with the Justice Society of America. After Morrison left, succeeding writers (most notably Mark Waid) continued his approach. This new approach was such a hit that for several years pretty much all major events in the DCU revolved around the League, and countless miniseries and one-shots were spun off the new title. The series was relaunched as JLA (1997) by Grant Morrison, who emphasized the team's role as the "gods" of the DCU, and had them only go up against the sort of tremendous, cosmic-level threats which befitted that stature. This approach fizzled after a few years, so DC took the team back to basics by reuniting the original Big Seven and giving them a lunar Watchtower base.
For this reason, they were a little ineffectual during Crisis on Infinite Earths.Īs a result of this, the team was retooled again in the '80s, becoming Justice League International (taking over the Global Guardians' role, and adding in some of the latter group's members) which then split into Justice League America and Justice League Europe, which later (after their membership grew huge) further split into the Justice League Task Force (a "superhero school" led by the Martian Manhunter), and Extreme Justice, which was led by the more proactive Captain Atom.
They operated out of a warehouse in Detroit. So, suddenly, Aquaman gave a big speech about how the team couldn't depend on heroes who were too busy to show up all the time and reformed the team with a bunch of second-stringers and a few new characters. In the '80s, DC's editorial team noticed that they were being outsold by the Teen Titans and the X-Men, more action-oriented, character-driven teams. And as the premier group of heroes in the DCU, when a cosmic crisis threatens, every superhero available becomes a temporary member of the JLA, such is the importance of the group. Basically, every DC Comics superhero who didn't belong to another team (and a few who did) was a member at one time or another ( and even Hawkeye!).
After that, the group has repeatedly disassembled and reassembled, sometimes with drastic membership changes, including a revival of the original seven. Almost immediately (six issues later), the team started to gradually expand to include Green Arrow, the Atom, Hawkman, Black Canary, the Phantom Stranger, Elongated Man, Red Tornado, Hawkgirl, Zatanna and, finally, Firestorm. The original lineup was Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter (commonly known as the "Big Seven", and considered the greatest heroes on Earth by pretty much the entire superhero community). The concept sold well and the team graduated to its first eponymous title by October, 1960.

Their appearances in three consecutive issues of The Brave and the Bold served as a trial run. The team debuted in The Brave and the Bold #28 (February-March, 1960), created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Mike Sekowsky. Composed (usually) of the heavy hitters of The DCU, the Justice League has been around in one form or another since The Silver Age of Comic Books, and doesn't show any sign of going away.
