and the members are....

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Cyborg, Power Girl, Mera, Deadman (three books already?!?), Green Arrow, Hawkman, GL, WW, Bat, Flash, Superman, Atom, Element Woman, Firestorm, Aquaman - total of 15</span></span>

I'm still not convinced that's Power Girl. I could be Canary.

This is Jim Lee -- it wouldn't surprise me if it's that chick from WildC.A.T.S, that martial arts chick ... whatsername?

Oh, and does anyone else find it ... a tad disturbing (for lack of a better term) that the Af-Am member has taken the "alien" (Martian Manhunter) slot? I'm glad that to see Cyborg there and all, but ... it's just a bit ... I dunno .... y'know?

Diversity. Pfft. Because everyone knows that adding in ONE black man in a cast of white people is diverse.

Diversity. The word's lost about as much meaning as the act of sex has.

There's an update to the post, quoting Geoff Johns:

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Geoff Johns tweets “That is not a blonde. (No one’s guessed the characters correctly yet.)”</span></span>

Now I'm really curious...

My guess: It's <span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Gypsy</span></span>

Which one's not a blonde ... looks like Canary to me on the right. (he talking about on the left?) She could possibly be an older Secret.

and on the left maybe it's Voodoo. the psychic from WS that has her own book coming out.

Re: Diversity ... No ViXEN, GYPSY, VIBE, JOHN STEWART, BLACK LIGHTNING, ETC. ETC. ETC.


good job on rebooting the whole line to add diversity in a way that is actually less diverse than previous Justice Leagues. way to go DC.


<span style="font-size: 8px;">I will sadly still be buying this book. </span>

After looking up Element Woman, that totally looks like her (as well as Voodoo)

It's a little off to me that Cyborg's formerly black legs and remaining uppper arm have been sealed up in armor. If it wasn't for a bit of his face still showing, he wouldn't be terribly well-suited to be the 'face of diversity' at all...

Vixen or John Stewart or Steel (or, to a lesser extent, Black Lightning), IMO, would feel less like a 'diversity hire' in this line-up, since they are more strongly associated with the League than Cyborg (or Mister Terrific, for another example).

Zealot, if that's her, as a Leaguer doesn't really fit well for me, either. Her and her Coda were, in the Wildstorm universe, the source of the Amazon legends (immortal warrior-women with their own island city-state), making her kind of clash with Wonder Woman. As an alien on Earth, she's also got a dash of Superman, and as someone who mostly operates through stealth and skill, and not super-powers, she's also got a dash of Batman. She's a one-woman 'trinity,' pretty much by design, and putting her on a team with the *actual* trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, would, IMO, just set her up to fail as a character.

There's a ton of cool Wildstorm characters that I'd love to see on a team like the League (such as Battalion or Winter, from Stormwatch, or the Engineer, from the Authority), but Zealot's way down the list...

Her main weapons are swords and she almost always kills, might be a problem, too.


And maybe, JLI will be more diverse since it's international.

Oh, and all of the men in the full figure line-up are fully clothed.
Only Diana has her chest exposed to the point of her boobs almost falling out.

The girl that some are saying is Zealot looks a little too 'soft' to be Zealot. Jim's always drawn her as cold and angular.

It looks more like her sister Savant, actually.

That's Mera (Queen of Atlantis)

Deadman's on the top. Under him is Atom. Martian Manhunter's in Stormwatch.

That's Element Woman (new Jim Lee character) and the revised Firestorm.

Actually, I'm glad he's a bit more covered up. It's like that old Superfriends joke where all the heroes of color weren't given pants. I don't know if it's an intentional holdover from when people of color were seen as savages, but it's something that doesn't seem necessary. Honestly, with all the added armor, it seems silly that he leaves half of his head exposed.

And in terms of diversity, it looks like Element Woman is Korean and the Atom is Ryan Choi! (Lee confirmed it at Comic Con)

And the heroine that's been speculated to be Black Canary, Power Girl or Zealot is actually Lady Luck- a revamped Golden Age character. Which is a surprising and somewhat comforting move on DC's part, considering its perceived treatment of the JSA, the Freedom Fighters, etc. I guess her back-story and characterization will really tell the tale.
