    I really don't know what to think of "The People vs. Justice League." It's honestly kind of boring, and feels like more of a primer for future stories, rather than an interesting and engaging story on it's own.

    Also, just have to say WTF to the kiss at the end. So out of left field and pointless.

    It's important to remember that this is stated from Simon's point of view. Some writers use characters to express the writer's view, but some remember they are expressing the character's view. This story is about friction in the Justice League over leadership, who sets priorities, and so on. I'm not surprised that Simon - new to both the League and to superheroing (and belonging to a marginalized demographic as a civilian) - might see a hierarchy at play .

    Not sure how I felt about Aquaman's deep sea camo suit. Felt random and out of nowhere.
    I'm with you on that. I'm not getting a clear sense on when this story takes place relative to other things going on in the DCU right now.

    That whole ending scene was just very strange to me. It felt less like Batman being voted out of the Justice League, and more like a high school quarterback being kicked off the Varsity team. Complete with locker, duffel bag, casual clothes and a teenager's haircut. Maybe that was the intention? IDK. Weird.

    I think it's a forced vacation. He mentions he'll be back in a few weeks. So it kind of is like a varsity athlete being put on suspension. Poor guy needed a break.

    Ha! So, basically Batman just appoints spoilers:
    Victor
    end of spoilers as a parting snub to Superman so he doesn't take over? Wow, so spoilers:
    Vic
    end of spoilers has gone from serving no purpose to being a pawn in a game of petty team politics.

    Agreed on both points. First, I think it's meant to set up where DC is going with Doomsday Clock with a potential civil war. They're making people trust the heroes less and less. And as for the kiss...yeah, WTF. I don't like it for Cruz's character, I don't like it for Batman at all (he's engaged!) That, on top of him being petty to Supes....Not a good look for Batman this week. Does the "forced vacation" mean we'll get a Batman-less JL next issue?

    So Cyborg referrs to himself as a founding member. So where was he during that flashback that had J'onn?

    I don't think the flashback featuring J'onn had any specific timetable attached to it. The way it was presented, it wasn't set in stone that what we were seeing had to be the first, founding incarnation. So its likely that this was just a period where J'onn joined and Cyborg had left.

    The plan is probably to keep the founding as it is, and just say after a while Cyborg left to join up with the Teen Titans and really grow into his role being so significantly younger than the rest of the League at the time, and working with a team more in his age group. At this time J'onn joined. Eventually Vic came back.

    Also, here's another thought. Jessica isn't Jessica in this issue, or maybe this entire arc. Jessica is J'onn. HE'S not kissing Bruce, he's telepathically communicating his identity and whatever job he's doing right now that requires the ruse. Hence "This is going to be complicated".

    I would agree, but didn't Scott already bring J'onn back in Metal? What you are saying makes a lot of sense, and I hope this is the case.

    I'm always amazed how two people can read the same issue and have 180 views on it. IMO this whole run has been horrible. Boring isn't a strong enough word.

    Good to see Vic's tech so vastly expanded. Remember when he used to have to swing around on a cable he shot from his wrist, like a big metallic Spider Man?

    He also briefly had his human form somewhat restored during the original Crisis tie in issues by S.T.A.R. Labs ( with the ever-so-lovely Jenet Klyburn).
