JGA "Revealed"

[metaphysician]

Well, we know know that their will be analogues to the Golden Age:

Flash
Green Lantern
Black Canary
Atom
Wildcat

We've also heard that "Atom" will have a bit of Supes in him, and that "Wildcat" will have a bit of Bats in him.

What do you think?? Good roster?? Who else might be there ( if you assume seven total )?? Think they'll try to keep the two remaining ( if there are 2 more ) secret until showtime??

I'm actually intrested to see how it turns out.

I'm also hoping that these heroes are from an alternate Earth like in Pre-Crisis.

Its always bothered me in Post-Crisis that there were superheroes before Superman and Batman.

I like the idea that in the comics world just like in ours it all started with them.

Well, remember that those other heroes were from WWII, and then didn't fight for years, making it so that there was a lot of overgrowth for Bats and Supes to clear a brand spankin' new path in the hero world.

Plus, I really like JSA right now, so I'm kinda biased. :wakko:

I know that they couldn't use "real" DC characters, but that Atom/Superman combination sounds a bit like the Atom character from Tangent Comics a few years back.

The lineup sounds pretty good, overall.

Yes, very interesting. I can't wait to see the results.

However, I've never read the comics and although I know who the "JSA" is, after reading up on them online, can someone please explain who Wildcat is in the comics please? Thanks.

Wildcat is Ted Grant, the heavyweight boxing champ from around WWII, and original member of the JSA. Yes, he's the same one; apparently, he picked up some powers at one point ( 9 lives, and regeneration ). He trained several notable personages, Batman included, and is probably one of the most experienced members.

The line-up sounds cool.

I think they'll be the only five characters appearing. All seven members of JL won't be appearing in the episode (I read that besides "Secret Origins", the only other stories all 7 will be in are "Injustice For All", and I *think* "The Savage Time") so it makes sense that there'll only be five members of the JGA. It looks like each one is sort of paired with a member of the Justice League: There are the obvious "Flash" and "Green Lantern" characters to match up with their modern counterparts. And then there are the "Atom" and "Wildcat," who we've learned are meant to be like Superman and Batman. And then there's "Black Canary" and Hawkgirl, who have the bird-bond thing...I guess.

Savage Time will have the whole league in it. Its the season final.
