Man, the switch from JLI to Justice League America SUCKS, it's like switching mid-episode from Seinfeld to a C-tier episode of CSI for no real reason. It was great before that, but all the melodrama and dark angst really lost me. Fire's Human Torch form is cool though.

I'd be pretty interested in reading pretty much all of those teams (as long as the creative teams are good).

Teenage Fansub posted:I bet these suits are just for the miniseries. I would assume so, although Flash looks decent with the black. Most of Team Wisdom look pretty good actually, though Cyborg looks very Iron Man. Sinestro looks decent too. Like how they based Team Entropy's colours on Batman's so they wouldn't have to give him a different outfit. That's marketing.

I don't know what the hell this is, but I'm down for it. I'm also adding this to my evidence that Tynion is leaving Detective, and Bendis will be writing Action and Detective.

Boo to Priest leaving JL. I was liking the more political direction he was taking it from the usual big stakes storyline and while I have been enjoying metal I hate Williamson and have found Tynion mediocre in everything other that Constantine the Hellblazer so I cant see Snyder’s new thing being as interesting.

Team Superman and Team Wonder Woman look great. Team Batman seems godawful. Team Flash seems like a bunch of editorial mandates stuck together and...Ryan Choi.

Could be really good, at least the comic might be about loving detective work instead of bitching about Batman, stupid time travelers and a poorly conceived military outfit.

Yeah those teams obviously aren't permanent. I do wonder why the higher ups and Snyder dislike the Titans so much so as not to include any of them in back to back events. I mean I know the book isn't the best but neither is Suicide Squad, JL, nor JLA.

Solution: Next year's reversioning put the Titans front and center, with Titans Reforged. What if Titans, but suicide squad! These troubled Teen heroes are given marching orders by an enigmatic AI known as The WALR . It's the Titans you know and love, with edgy new problems!

It's likely, but all that's saying for sure is that there isn't going to be a Titans (or TT, JA or JLA) in May.

BrianWilly posted:My patience for Harley Quinn plummets even further every time she gets shoehorned into something like this. I don't know, as she becomes less a straight villain she fits more in groups like this, especially with DC not really having fence-straddlers. Plus Team Wisdom seems to be gathering geniuses or specialists in certain fields, and she would count as the psychologist (psychiatrist?), with the added durability of being able to survive this sort of exploration and not being the more straight villainous psychologist type, like Hugo Strange.

I'm a great admirer of psychiatry, but I feel like that's gotta be one of the least useful abilities to have in a superheroic field team out to study some sort of ineffable cosmic threat. I don't even know what Harley's supposed to bring to a battle. Is she some sort of martial arts expert now? Is real handy with a big hammer or a baseball bat? Just off the top of my head I feel like Killer Frost would be a much better addition to that team. She's super powerful, good with science, got history with Ryan Choi, and would have TV-verse synergy with Barry Allen. I guess Harley's there to just...keep everyone on that team from being gigantic sticks-in-the-mud (which, to be fair, is a valid danger with that lineup).

Harley Quinn was (probably still is) slightly enhanced due to chemicals and a boost from Poison Ivy. She has above-average strength/endurance/etc and a resistance to poisons and such. I don't know how much of that is still canon but at least some of it probably is to explain why she is holding her own despite being Harley Quinn.

Plus, Joker's been the culprit behind at least two universe-altering events, so having Harley around to deal with / advise about him is good insurance.

I'm sure the in-universe explanation will be equally dumb, but Harley's inclusion is obviously a case of editorial mandate.

She's there because every superhero team needs a person who makes people whine on internet forums about not belonging on the team

This is bottom grade garbage. Also, it was kind of a big deal in Watchmen that the only person in the world with actual superpowers was Dr. Manhattan. Why does the Mime, a random petty criminal, have powers? Did Geoff Johns read Watchmen?
