In other “Big News I Missed By Being Away For A Week” news, DC has announced a brand new series written by Geoff Johns and drawn by David Finch titled Justice League of America. This news series fills the void left by
#12 set up a lot of important plot points that we’ll see carried out in the new series. Geoff Johns had this to say about the new series:
This is a very different kind of team book. On first glance, people might think the heroes of the Justice League of America stand in the shadows of Superman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the Justice League, but Green Arrow, Katana, Martian Manhunter, the new Green Lantern, Stargirl, Vibe, Hawkman and Catwoman thrive in the shadows. They’re underdogs who have everything to prove and something to lose. They’re a team of unlikely heroes who will help one another discover they’re as A-List as anybody — yes, even Vibe. Though getting there won’t be easy. Why they’re formed, why each member joins, what they’re after and who the society of villains is they’re trying to take apart will all be clear in the first issue when it hits early 2013. David and I are really focused on delving deep into what it’s like to not be a member of the big seven and why, sometimes, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.”

? And how exactly does Catwoman fit into a Justice League? Anyone who reads the ongoing Catwoman series has to be scratching their head because that character is pretty small time. She’s a young, naive addrenaline junkie and thief so I don’t see how or why she would be added to a heroic team’s roster. And the even bigger question: how in the heck does Geoff Johns have enough time to write all these books? Seriously! He has to be a superhero himself. The guy’s doing
. That’s just…that’s an excessive amount of characters to write for and my hat’s off to him for taking on so much material.Cover for JLA #1, art by Howard Porter and John Dell.

Justice League Of America (film)
JLA was a monthly comic book published by DC Comics from January 1997 to April 2006 featuring the Justice League of America (JLA, Justice League).
The series restarted DC's approach to the Justice League, which had initially featured most of the company's top-tier superheroes but shifted in the 1980s to featuring a rotating cast of established characters alongside newer ones and also saw that franchise expand to several spin-off series, diluting the prestige of the name brand. Wh relaunched by writer Grant Morrison, the team again focused on the most recognizable, powerful, and long-lasting heroes in DC's library.
Prompted DC to revamp the League as a single team (all the various branch teams were disbanded) on a single title. A Justice League of America formed in the September 1996 limited series Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare by Mark Waid and Fabian Nicieza. In 1997, DC Comics launched a new Justice League series titled JLA, writt by Grant Morrison with art by Howard Porter and inker John Dell. Morrison stayed as writer for the series through issue #41, though several issues had fill-in writers. JLA #18-#21 and #33 were writt by Mark Waid. Mark Millar, Devin Grayson and Mark Waid, and J.M. DeMatteis wrote issues #27, 32 and 35, respectively.
Jla' Features The World's 'most Dangerous' Superheroes
This series, in an attempt at a back-to-basics approach, used as its core the team's original and most famous sev members (or their successors): Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash (Wally West), Gre Lantern (Kyle Rayner), and the Martian Manhunter.
Morrison introduced the idea of the JLA allegorically represting a pantheon of gods, with their differt powers and personalities, incorporating such characters as Zauriel, Big Barda, Orion, the Huntress, Barbara Gordon (the Oracle), Steel (John Hry Irons), and Plastic Man. They also had Aztek, the Tomorrow Woman, and the Gre Arrow (Connor Hawke) as temporaries.
Under Morrison, the series pitted the League against a variety of emies including the White Martians, regade angels, a new incarnation of the Injustice Gang led by Lex Luthor, and the Key. Other foes were the new villain Prometheus, the existing JLA villain Starro the Conqueror, the Ultra-Marines, and a futuristic Darkseid. Morrison's run culminated in an arc titled World War III, which involves the New Gods preparing the Earth for battle against a creature known as Mageddon, a super-stit weapon of mass destruction.
Justice League Of America (new 52) Timeline
Since this new League included most of DC's most powerful heroes, the focus of the stories changed. The League now dealt only with Earth-shattering, highest-priority threats which could challge their tremdous combined power. emies faced by this new JLA included an invading army of alis, a malfunctioning war machine from the future, a horde of regade angels, a newly reformed coalition of villains as a counter-league, mercaries armed with individualized take-down strategies for each superhero, various cosmic threats, and the raged spirit of the Earth itself. In addition, because almost all of the members had their own comics, the stories were almost always self-contained, with all chapters occurring within JLA itself and very rarely affecting evts outside of that series. Developmts from a hero's own title (such as the new costume and electric-based powers temporarily adopted by Superman in 1997–1998) were reflected in the League's comic book, however.
Morrison departed with issue #41, after which the book saw runs by Mark Waid and Joe Kelly. Subsequt to this, the series switched to a series of rotating writers with issue #91 while Kelly (via JLA #100) was giv the miniseries Justice League Elite #1-12, which featured the Gre Arrow, the Flash, and several other characters. The new format saw stories by John Byrne, Chuck Aust, and Kurt Busiek. Geoff Johns and Allan Heinberg would take over the book with #115, which saw a multi-part storyline dealing with the aftermath of Idtity Crisis, and served as a lead-in to the evts of Infinite Crisis, as Superboy-Prime destroyed the Watchtower at the d of issue #119. Bob Harras wrote the book's final storyline (JLA #120–125) as the Gre Arrow struggled in vain to keep the League afloat.
Despite all of this, DC did not create continuing spin-off series as it had done before. Instead, a large number of miniseries and one-shots featuring the team were released. One spin-off team, the Justice League Elite was created following the evts of JLA #100, but their miniseries was limited to 12 issues, and the team appeared only once after the miniseries ded its run. JLA's popularity was also able to launch the critically acclaimed JSA series, which was relaunched as Justice Society of America to coincide with the new Justice League of America book.

In 2005, a story arc by Geoff Johns and Alan Heinberg called Crisis of Conscice (JLA #115–119) depicted the dissolution of the Justice League of America as the breakdown of trust shown in the 2004 limited series Idtity Crisis reached its zith. At the d of the arc, Superboy-Prime destroyed the Justice League Watchtower. JLA, one of several titles to be cancelled at the conclusion of the Infinite Crisis storyline, ded with issue #125.
As depicted in the Villains United: Infinite Crisis Special and the final issue of Infinite Crisis itself, preparations for the defse of Metropolis against an army of organized supervillains required a brief and temporary expansion of the Justice League to its largest roster to date. The main defsive teams of the JLA, JSA, Te Titans and Outsiders already being occupied elsewhere by the Crisis, it fell on the Oracle and the Martian Manhunter to contact and deputize seemingly every active or once active hero in the DC Universe as Justice League members, effective immediately, to form a last line of defse for the city.
The new approach worked, and JLA quickly became DC's best-selling title, a position it joyed on and off for several years, as reflected in the following advance sales figures for months in which JLA was DC's best-selling title:
