True. Marvel is the place for the misunderstood antiheroes. They do it better. And that's not slighting them, just saying there's a different flavor to Marvel that they're trying to imitate and it isn't working.
And I'm really getting sick of them slowly picking off every last Giffen Leaguer. Except Jurgens' pet Booster, who actually I only ever even tolerated as a second banana to Ted. I refuse to accept Booster Gold as important no matter how much they try to make me.
Booster isn't the same without Ted or even Rip/Michelle. Booster is NOT a team leader, he's a team grunt, a C-Lister who rises above it all, the (in the words of his pre-reboot title) "Greatest Hero You've Never Known".
i think in this case, it's not the "World" that hates and fears us, it's the "governments" fear and hate them, which has been a distinction here...
The Govenments fear the Supers because they can't control them hence the scene with the chairwoman.
But the People LOVE the JLA. because they are independant of the governments.
Here we have the governments essentially trying to have thier own superhero team they are trying to control (and not working).
meanwhile here, the people fear a government controlled superhero team. seeing them as government cronies.
as to the man here who rips Booster a new one, he just lost his daughter, so he is understandably angry. and he isn't necissarily wrong, superheroes do tend to attract supervillains.
that said, i think ultimately this will lead the team to be independant like the justice league, but work on a global scale free of the UN.

This is the fricking DCU we're talking about. They love and forgive their heroes for their failings. Let's move on and kick some ass.
