Zatanna: The mystic. The DCU has a magic side (see Day of Vengeance) that is incredibly underused. Adding her to the JL is the key to fixing that. As a celebrity, she has one of the most interesting lives outside of the superhero world in the DCU. She also has ties to Atlantis (she's half Homo Magi) and an interesting backstory that has yet to be fully explored (she and her father share a curse).

She is possibly the most naturally gifted magician in the DCU and definitely one of its most powerful users. In addition to magic, she would also bring sex appeal to a team that is a near sausage fest without her.

Aaaand fishnets.




Apparently she's in a few Vertigo titles and likes to have a lot of sex in there, dont know if she's meant to be like that or its just some wannabe writer, but a whore on the team could be very interesting when not battling giant mythical beasts.



Batman/Nightwing-- Batman because he's Batman, but Nightwing more of the time, partly because Batmans obsessed with Gotham, and partly because he worked so well in The Obsidian Age and needs his respect back after the writing in his solo title. Would also be interesting to read his growing relationships with the already established leaguers, like being the new guy at school but still striving towards a moderate leadership role [and getting critised for his automatic leadership by the likes of GA]

Flash-- He's Flash. Would like to see him threaten a big gun like Superman after being yelled at, Wally showing he's got some attitude and wont roll over to the big shots would be great. Keep the softie attitude most of the time, but as Wednesday said, super-strength isnt everything, and Wally could take anyone in the League

Green Arrow-- Only sometimes. He's got the attitude thats interesting to read, and also the confrontations with literally everyone.

Kyle Rayner-- You dont get the relationship with GA etc... with Kyle as appossed to Hal, but he's an untrustworthy bastard. Batman getting revege and slapping him around for the punch he took in Rebirth #6 would also be very welcomed. Kyle should actually grow a JLA spine and take command now and again aswell. Give him an awkward relationship with someone like Hawkman aswell, just to have some interesting tension

J'onn J'onzz-- back-bone. Big gun. J'onn's got everything and cant be left out

Aquaman-- I want the Aquaman with the beard and 'tude back, but still with the water hand so he can actually participate in fights. He's got to have the arrogance and tied loyalties to his home under the sea though [Atlantis or Sub-Diego, dont care which]

Hawkman-- Like the wings, like the attitude, like the big honkin' mace, and would like to see him both interact friendly with the team and also be a real grumpy git, depending on who he's talking to

Superman--Obligitary big gun. Though I show disdain for his unlimited powers i'd still prefer him over Captain Marvel or Wonder Woman, he's also got the relationships with Batman and J'onn already down perfectly. Plus he could build a relationship with Nightwing and get slapped around by nameless giant beasts a lot

Edit: Im scraping Supes for Captain Atom/Breach, or whoever he is now. He'd had a rough ride what with dying again in Superman/Batman, getting defeated by Hawkeye in JLA/Avengers and being pummelled by Mary Marvel, but a slot on the League could remedy that and restore him to his Big Gun status in the DCU

Atom-- He's already got the established relationships. His return could also wipe the stain he suffered from the awful Identity Crisis ending

Edit: Azrael-- Az on the team could go someways to building a friendship with Nightwing, something I dont think ever happened. Plus he could revert back to his old killing ways and bring up some good boy-scout conflict where everyone says "Killing Super-villains is wrong!"



No Wonder Woman because she just annoys me. Dont know if she's meant to be portrayed as such, but when she lets thieves go just because they are female and refuses to admit she's wrong [like the Joe kelly story with the broken lasso] it just pisses me off. Better without her. Not fond of Canary or Zatanna either.
