And while The Big Seven is a fallacy in regards to DC's marketing, for me it's still not the JLA without them...
40 odd years of history with the big seven only being a creation of the last 10 years or so, I find it funny that you think its not the JLA without them!
Firstly the big 7 that came about with Morrison is pure bullshit. Wally and Kyle were not the "big" GL and Flash, thats Barry and Hal, whether you like em or not. J'onn was a member for 5 minutes in the 60s, and didnt return til the late 80s.
And quite frankly, ranking Aquaman above Hawkman, the Atom, Black Canary and Green Arrow is a joke!
The concept of the big seven is laughable!
Fuck, Red Tornado had more claim to being in that line up than J'onn!
