James Robinson’s New JLA Line-up revealed!
You might have noticed this in last week’s Blackest Night… Might have been nice if James Robinson had picked ONE of the GLBT characters he brought into the JLA fold in Cry for Justice for the team. The upcoming Justice League of America line-up: Clockwise from upper left – Congorilla, Donna Troy, Mon-el, Batman III (Dick Grayson), Starfire, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Guardian, Dr. Light, The Atom (Ray Palmer), Green Arrow and Cyborg.
A few MAJOR flaws – 1. where is their super-speedster? With Jay, Wally, Barry, and Bart (maybe even Max who knows what Rebirth will bring) all running around at top speed, how can the JLA be without a Flash? 2. They need a magic expert – with the logic that Robinson is using to draw together this team we should see Timothy Hunter within 5 issues – actually that would be AWESOME!

As someone who came of age with the original New Teen Titans, it IS nice to see some of the former teen side-kicks move up to the major leagues, but I don’t know if you can just replace the DC trinity that easily. OK Superman is off on New Krypton, Bruce Wayne is “dead” so where is Diana? Is she fated to die in the Blackest Night? DCD is making a version of her in their Blackest Night series. What does that mean for her future? Only time will tell.
With this JLA line-up, what happens to the Titans? Without Donna, Kory, Dick and Vic there is just Raven, Gar, Roy and Wally and I don’t see that as a title worth watching (not that Titans is worth it now – but the characters have so much potential – as shown by the Titans: Blackest Night mini).
Also – where is Vixen? She was the only one who seemed REALLY dedicated to keeping the team going even after Black Canary took her ball and went home.
