Producer Bruce Timm described Justice League as, "the Superfriends for a new generation." Timm stressed that the show will take a traditional approach to the Justice League. This is such a big thing for comic book fans, for DC Comics, and for us, that we wanted to make sure we do the show right," Timm said.
"Based on what we've seen -- other attempts to do this kind of show in the past in cartoons -- we needed to go with the big guns, we needed to put the 'big seven' in there." Timm did mention that overall the show will edge more toward Grant Morrison's take of the JLA, but the show will not be as dark or as complicated. "The thing we found with the Grant Morrison comics that we liked is that the group was more of a dysfunctional family. Not that they bicker all the time, but they weren't like 'let's be nice and get along and be the happy Superfriends.'" Head writer Rich Fogel added that their approach to the characters was heavily influenced by the overall group dynamic. "Each character has a specific role and we understand how they fit in and how they react to one another. We're trying to get really specific with what their concerns are and what issues they care about. It's like The West Wing with super powers."
Below are eight images released by the network. Two of which are Wonder Woman. Click on the links to check view.
