Justice League Infinity #1

[shakalooloo]

Remember when the Justice League was fun? And, uh, animated? Well, DC has decided to continue Justice League Unlimited in a new series, and I'm quite liking what we get in the first issue so far:







Co-written by JM DeMatteis and James Tucker, with art by Ethen Beavers, coloured by Nick Filardi and lettered by Tom Napolitano

I mean, they seem to pretty much let members some and go as long as they don't try to kill mob bosses (presidential canidates are fine though) or lead alien invasions so I'm not sure it really matters. He was clearly stepping down from his leadership role though. IIRC Mr Terrific seems to have taken on a lot of his responsibilities toward the end of the show.

Apparently that Fatale Five movie is DCAU canon* and that team has Miss Martian instead. I assume it's meant to be the the last chronological appearance of the League before the Batman Beyond time skip.

*Which doesn't make much sense to me because you'd think they'd at least mention Supergirl.

See the following video for a (far too?) in-depth look at the supposed canonicity of the Fatal Five movie:

Yeah, that was 35 minutes wasted on a "maybe"

"The people with a vested interested in marketing this thing say it counts so lets No-Prize all the stuff that doesn't make sense"

(For the record, I like this movie a lot but I consider Superman's interactions with the LoSH to be a major plot hole that can't be hand-waved as easily as "John Stewart is off-world")
