A comic book related glass making company called "Toon Tumblers" released on their Facebook page what appears to be Jim Lee's promotional spread for the new Justice League, part of which will be used on drinking glasses given out at this years San Diego Comic Con. As a result, we now have the complete line-up of the Justice League in the wake of the relaunch:



In the center, going from left to right, are the seven members we already know:
  • Aquaman
  • Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
  • Wonder Woman
  • Superman
  • Batman (Bruce Wayne)
  • The Flash (Barry Allen)
  • Cyborg

On the left side of the image, going from top to bottom, we have four additional members:
  • Deadman
  • The Atom (Ray Palmer)
  • Element Woman (from Flashpoint: Secret Seven)
  • Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond and Jason Rusch)

And on the right side, going from top to bottom, we have four more:
  • Green Arrow
  • Hawkman (Carter Hall)
  • A woman who could be either Zealot, Power Girl, or Miranda Shrieve (from Flashpoint: Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown)
  • Mera

Call me crazy, but for some reason the redesigned costumes look a whole lot better when Jim Lee draws them.  Anyway, what do folks think?

The one issue I have with that is, Wonder Woman is such a symbol of feminism and female-empowerment, if she is portrayed as a lesbian it can play right into the "All feminists are lesbians!" stereotype if they aren't careful.

I suppose. I did say lesbian-leaning bisexual, though, not outright exclusively lesbian (like... Kinsey 4? or something). But then again, a bad writer (or even a generally decent writer who is wrong for the series) can make almost anything fall into some sort of negative stereotype. It's not like there haven't been plenty of other Wonder Woman stories written with unintentional Unfortunate Implications, without her being in a relationship with another woman (Amazon or not).
