Roster
See: List of Justice League members

The Justice League, sometimes called the Justice League of America or JLA for short, is a fictional DC Universe superhero team. In most incarnations, its roster includes DC's most popular characters. The original line-up is Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter. The team has also included Green Arrow, Atom, Hawkman, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, Plastic Man and dozens of others.

The team first appears in The Brave and the Bold #28 (1960). Although series featuring the League occasionally have garnered low sales, the team has been fairly popular with comic book fans since inception. The Justice League concept was loosely adapted into the Super Friends animated series (1972-1985) and more directly into the series Justice League (2001-2004) and Justice League Unlimited (2004-2006).

Throughout the years, the team, or segments of it, are called Justice League America, Justice League Europe, Justice League International, Justice League Task Force, and Justice League Elite.

A "Justice League" as featured in the Smallville Season 6 episode Justice.
  • The first animated television appearance of the League were three segments in the 1967 animated series The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure.
  • The longest-running television version of the Justice League was a loosely adapted animated series called the Super Friends, which ran in various incarnations from 1972 to 1985.
  • Legends of the Superheroes were two live-action adaptations of the Justice League that appeared in the 1970s, and saw Adam West, Burt Ward and Frank Gorshin return to their fabled roles of Batman, Robin, and the Riddler (respectively) from the 1960s live-action Batman television series. Other heroes portrayed on the show included Black Canary, Captain Marvel, Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Huntress and more.
  • A live action television series pilot Justice League of America produced in 1997 failed to sell, possibly a result of the series using less well-known characters to avoid dealing with licensing issues surrounding Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. This pilot featured Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern (Guy Gardner), Fire, Ice, Flash (Barry Allen), Atom (Ray Palmer) and Weather Wizard as the featured villain.
  • Cartoon Network's Justice League animated series debuted in 2001 and lasted for two seasons. In July 2004, the original series was replaced by a successor series, Justice League Unlimited. Both of these are extensions of the DC Animated Universe, continuing the continuity begun by Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, and Batman Beyond.
  • Smallville features appearances of other DC Comics heroes in several storylines. The episode "Run" (season 4, episode 5) presents Impulse, "Aqua" (season 5, episode 4) introduces Aquaman, and "Cyborg" (season 5, episode 15) introduces Cyborg.
    • In "Run", the young speedster finishes the episode by telling Clark Kent that he is going to search for others like them and form "a club or a league," setting the table for an eventual Justice League.
    • In "Aqua", after working together successfully, Aquaman jokingly suggests he and Clark form a Junior Lifeguard Association. Clark replies that he's not ready to join the "JLA" yet.
    • In "Cyborg", Clark encounters Victor Stone, a former high school football opponent. Clark helps Victor to elude Lex Luthor and LuthorCorp, who have turned him into a machine-human hybrid.
    • Oliver Queen/Green Arrow appears in Smallville in season six for a several episode long arc.
    • Martian Manhunter appears in the sixth season episodes 'Static' and 'Labyrinth'.
    • The sixth season episode "Justice" features super-powered guest stars from previous episodes; (Aquaman, Cyborg, Green Arrow and Impulse); returning as a team and recruiting Clark. Their goal is to stop Lex Luthor's experimentation on persons with superhuman abilities. Oliver suggests the team name include the Justice in it.
  • As well as several video games based on its animated incarnation the Justice League has appeared in two video games titled Justice League Task Force and Justice League Heroes.
  • On February 22, 2007 Variety announced that Warner Brothers had hired Kiernan and Michele Mulroney to write a treatment for a potential Justice League movie. No announcement was made on the characters, actors, or crew involved. [1]
  • On March 19th, 2007, it was reported that Warner Brothers is apparently favoring a Justice League movie featuring Superman rather than a solo Superman sequel due to the slightly disappointing box office of Superman Returns. Reportedly the studio will gauge the response of the Justice League film before deciding to go ahead with a Superman sequels. Batman has been said not to be included due to his successful new franchise.[1]
