How would you bring back the JUSTICE LEAGUE?

[Factor]

If you could bring back the JL, how would you do it and how would they be different from the Titans now that they’re positioned as the top dogs?

For me:
TITANS: The most popular/approachable team. The ones who are always available and who people can actually contact for help. They’re less removed from regular citizens and would have channels people from all over the world could use to ask for protection. Because of this, the Titans would mostly deal with threats that are already directly affecting the population.
HQ: Titans Tower (I even think it would be cool if they had like three separate towers spread across the world).
Members: The current team, possibly with a spin-off to handle missions that need discretion, lead by Arsenal and starring Tempest, Omen, Jericho, Ravager, Grace and Thunder.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: Gods among men. They all have busy solo careers and don’t have as much time to dedicate to the JL. Now that the Titans have stepped up, the JL gathers only in times of great global or cosmic crisis or when one of their members needs assistance. They have systems to ascertain if their action is needed and would count with the help of at least one member on monitor duty at all times.
HQ: The JL Satellite. The Hall of Justice would be used as a museum and as training ground for new recruits.

Members: Martian Manhunter (leader), Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Vixen, Zatanna, Green Lantern (Hal or John), Flash (Barry), Aquaman, Hawkgirl (Kendra), Atom (Ryan Choi), Tomorrow Woman.

The whole team would be 12 members, but they would rotate according to availability and the needs of each mission.
The less “popular” members would each gain expanded roles to keep them on par with the big guns:
- Martian Manhunter: new team leader (about time)
- Vixen: UN liaison and leader of the Global Guardians
- Zatanna: leader of JLD/Shadowpact
- Hawkgirl: director of the JL museum and mentor to new generations
- Atom: the lead scientist and engineer
- Tomorrow Woman: in charge of threat assessment systems

The JL should always be the top dogs and feature just about every superhero not aligned with any other supergroup. The Trinity and the other characters up their in popularity should be the anchors, but need not always be seen on an individual basis in every comic. Basically, the satellite years model, but bigger and more inclusive.

I’m open to pretty much any manner of bringing them back and establishing them, but I’d REALLY like the powers that be to scale back the on the “entire multiverse hangs in the balance” scenarios.

Not everything needs to be a Crisis™ to be interesting.

New threat obliterates Titans and big 7 reform to save the day. Easy.

I'm opposite to new line-wide events, but I like standalone epic JL stories. As long as they're contained in the JL ongoing and well-written, I don't mind. But I'd certainly avoid another "Crisis". I want more stories about the Multiverse, but as long as they're additive and actually explore the alternate Earths. I don't want their existence to be constantly in question.
(In my head canon DCU, Barry Allen would have his own book where he'd be exploring the Multiverse while still using Earth 0 as base and home).

The purpose of the thread is discussing how they can coexist without completely undermining the current status of the Titans

[exile001]

I'd have the JLA be more like the Morrison era and mostly just have them as a global strike-force for the biggest threats. Essentially, every story is an almost self-contained, high stakes mini-Crisis.

No need for a big re-introduction, everyone knows who they are, just do a Midsummer's Nightmare (but better) to reintroduce the team and we're off!

Very little character drama and relationship building, leave that to the Titans and Young Justice/Teen Titans, the JLA are just the big guns to tackle the big threats.

^^^Man that’s a total kick in the nuts to Titans fans. No.

^^^What you’re putting forward is something I could get behind, I simply don’t trust DC not to ruin it by going too big.

^^^I'd be okay w. this too, except that last part.
Even if the team is just the Big 7, theres no reason they can’t build on their relationships in a JL book.

If the team has members outside the Big 7 then a JL book is where they’d get characterization.

Since they've tried and pretty much failed at other "keeping an eye on the bigger multiveral threats" type teams, I would make that the mission statement of this new Justice League. The Titans protect earth, on the ground and start to operate more like the JLU with a loose association of a couple dozen members ready at a moment's notice. The JL goes anywhere there are threats to existence. Load the team with big guns:
- Supergirl
- Green Lantern (Hal)
- Flash (Wally)
- Wonder Woman
- Martian Manhunter
- Orion
- Dr Fate
- Dr Light (post Dark Crisis upgrade)

[Dr. Poison]

I'm also of the camp that not every mission needs to be world/existance-ending. I'm good with threats like Amazo, Starbreaker, Shaggy Man, the Legion of Doom, or Rex Maximus & his Animal-men. As for the team, I'd like the following roster:


Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Aquaman
Mera
Green Lantern(Hal & John)
Flash(Barry)
Martian Manhunter
Atom(Ray)
Hawkman
Green Arrow(Ollie)
Black Canary
Hawkwoman
Zatanna
Firestorm
Vixen
Vibe
Dr. Light
Steel
Black Lightning

I"d have them all go out for a beer and say "so, back in business"?

[Kaijudo]

The Titans are the public point person team for any day-in, day-out threats. Imagine modern iterations of what the League faced in the first 100 issues of its original run, that's what the Titans are facing now.

The League, on the other hand, is everywhere. It has dozens of members across the globe and assign them to jobs based upon that job's requirements...somewhere between the JLU setup and Mission: Impossible. It can be anything from squelching a move on New Genesis by Apokolips to covertly infiltrating Checkmate HQ for a hard drive. If you absolutely need the Trinity to appease the fanboys who can't accept the team without them, then put them in the "command center" position, selecting the members and doling out the assignments (not that they can't go on them themselves). While I don't think every League job should be some new Crisis, I think they should have a regular, permanent presence and should always be active, with multiple assignments going on at once.

[Digifiend]

The big names stay retired, but Doctor Light assembles a group of second stringers and legacies (think JLI) to deal with an incident while the Titans and JSA are busy dealing with other incidents.

[All Star Superman]

I'd stick with the Morrison idea of the JLA facing cosmic crises while the Titans and other teams handle more Earth-based stuff.

Core Team:

Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
The Flash (Wally)
Aquaman
Steel (John Henry Irons)
Firehawk (Lorraine Reilly)

A GL would always be a member of the team, but would rotate out as the story dictates.

Finally, a new character (not related to/using the name or powers of Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman) would emerge that is so powerful, the JLA grant her membership to keep an eye on her.

^^^THANK you. I’m usually really alone whenever I suggest that.

Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Aquaman
Mera
Green Lantern(Hal & John)
Flash(Barry)
Martian Manhunter
Atom(Ray)
Hawkman
Green Arrow(Ollie)
Black Canary
Hawkwoman
Zatanna
Firestorm
Vixen
Vibe
Dr. Light
Steel
Black Lightning

^^^That's a line up! Reminds me of the animated JLUnlimited line up!
