Justice League

Just because we were involved in this giant IP, we felt we had to do just a bit of research.

Because my experience with Green Lantern probably just goes back to when I was a kid watching Justice League and getting familiar with those characters.

You read the scripts.

You become enamored with the scripts because they were so great on the show.

And I think Batman can play in those worlds.

And then it even happens a lot when you move Batman to the Justice League.

We were like, why is Batman fighting Darkseid? He can't fucking do anything against this guy.

He's just a dude who knows karate.

Okay.

You don't think that there's, like, a plan in place? Well, do you think the Superman story is a larger, like, Justice League? Do you think they

can envision Justice

League right now or they

They did just fucking do green lantern, regardless of what we think they, um, they could do the flash.

And I think it's very possible that flash is established at some point in that fucking garage show.

um oh i don't i wouldn't expect that i know i know because batman wasn't in this movie i know i know but but it's possible it's a different kind of thing seemingly um and and then who was who's left for them to make justice league besides batman obviously but even realistic like really you could do justice league without batman you shouldn't but you could if you if you really had to you could

could do like original cover you know batman wasn't

I think DC has been working both in Absolute and Mainline in these sagas and these arcs.

You have the all-in saga, then you have next level and these thematic arcs or... periods which which is not dissimilar to what marvel was doing you know during like the bendis era um and i think this absolute justice right justice that's what it's called yeah yeah um that needs to be the the the cap for this first arc And what happens from there needs to be monumental and maybe spins out either the team book, the Justice League book, or more solo series.

Maybe even creative team switches, you know? But I think there needs to be a big noticeable change at the end of it.

Yeah, I think that's got to be coming to some level, right? Like, I recall...

All the people that are in Absolute right now, let's spread the line out a little bit to keep their interest within here, test things, do different things within it.

I really think they're biding their time for that crossover, and they would really need to make it meaningful so that people can start to be like, oh my god, I just read this stuff for Absolute.

It ties into... whatever's going on in justice league and whatever's going on in Superman, whatever's going on in Batman, like it has to really work in order for them to be like, okay, now I can start to trickle in because I can only imagine what that, and my brain works curves.

I can only imagine what that curve looks like.

You got Superman who's alone.

He doesn't have a Justice League.

He's not running anything.

So here's this group who...

And Gunn is like, I'm going to make you fucking wait.

You want him bad? We're going to make you wait for him.

So the fact that everybody, every movie is like, yo, when the fuck are we going to get Batman in the Justice League? They want him so bad.

So again, they're giving us, they gave us Superman.

Absolutely.

Flash two worlds, and then we went into the Justice League, Justice Society, and the, you know, the Crisis on Earth 1, Crisis on Earth 2, and Crisis on Earth 3 storylines from those couple of years.

So that was fun stuff.

I was just revisiting some of that stuff for a project that will be named later.

You know, the Owens, you know, that their total you know middle management like no no we're not we just want you to to show us everything you do as we're not replacing you al i just need exactly on everything you do just just in case you you should anything should happen someday what what exactly is it that you do here hey rest in peace you're real yeah i have people skills

Well, I mean, you know, I can go off on other things.

Like I think that the Justice League cartoon sort of changed the Jon Stewart character dramatically from what it was.

into this whole military thing, right? There was always the military thing, but it wasn't the overriding element of the character until that cartoon, which is fine.

Yeah, I've heard of it.

Also the same day, we had Justice League of America volume two, number one, the second printing.

This cover, this version of the cover includes Three Boot Karate Kid as a prospective member.

This was the original version of the promo poster, which was later edited to replace him with Blue Beetle.

But, like, when I think about my favorite moments from Secret Wars, it's, like...

Nemo T'Challa like character stuff the Justice League versus Avengers arc like those things that have to do with Secret Wars but like aren't just that so I kind of like that it's like it's two things that lead into one leads into the other but like they're both really good on their own and are just as like halves of a whole I

appreciate that, but I do think, like, Secret Wars answers the question of New Avengers number one, right? Which is ultimately, like, where does this net out? What happens with all these incursions? Like, you do need, need is a strong word, but, like, it very successfully answers all of that build, you know? Yeah, we've said it a few times now, but, like, I would almost just take Avengers out of the equation until time runs out.

You probably don't.

I

remember watching the Justice League of America film.

It's a bit like

Friends.
