I hate to say it because it should be DC’s flagship book but I haven’t been a regular Justice League reader in years.
We’ve already a lot of potential replacements established for classic members so hopefully we can get a JL with some new blood like we did when the old JL “died” in Obsidian Age.
Sure, I could make the case that some of them should be spared (didn’t they just finally put Martian Manhunter back on the team where he belongs?) because they don’t deserve to be sacrificed for a sales gimmick. I know Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman won’t be gone long but they’ve also had plenty of time in the spotlight that Black Canary and Zatanna just don’t get very often.
And it goes without saying that they’re killing the wrong Green Lantern.
Speaking of legacies, isn’t this team supposed to have a Flash? He seemed conspicuously absent from the list. Please let it be Barry. I don’t think I can handle them killing Wally AGAIN. ..
Also, its really weird that this thing that’s meant to be a tribute to the Death of Superman would completely miss the point of Death of Superman. In the real world, I don’t think you could convince anyone but the most gullible that Superman and co are gone for good this time; stories like DoS have played that card too many times. In-universe however, Superman died on camera; his sacrifice was felt by the whole world. It’s downright bizarre that someone who thinks they’re doing a spiritual successor would have nearly everyone just vanish on a space mission. A lone survivor saying that the JL died in battle just doesn’t have the same emotional punch as watching it happen on TV.
