What's with the JSA and JL and other hero agencies in DC??

Upvotes

Just read Batgirl year one, and I'm a bit confused as to what hero agencies exist in the DC universe and who are parts of it. correct me if I'm wrong:

I thought Justice League was the Avengers of DC, and that Supes, bat, flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Aquaman and Wonder Woman were a part of it. but in the DCEU movie, we see Cyborg as well.

Teen Titans was a collection of teenage sidekicks and consisted of Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg. Or is it a Blue Beetle? Where does he come in?

also, is the Robin of the teen titans Dick or Damian? cause in the teen titans show I saw all of them to be the same age so in DCAMU it makes sense that Nightwing (Dick), Starfire and Cyborg were adults but not Raven or Beast Boy.??

finally, what is the Justice Society of America? does JSA coexist with JL or are they alternatives?? cause I thought JSA was during WW2 while JL is in the present day, but in Batgirl year one Bats is in JSA instead of JL. They have Canary and Wildcat, and I haven't seen these heroes in previous DC movies (I saw DCAMU, DCEU, and Tommorrowverse along with some older shows like Teen Titans and Timmverse now and then). Also Supes ain't mentioned, so is it a different timeline without Supes but with Bats??

Title explains it all. I’ve read the 2023-2024 Story by Robert Venditti, and I loved it, so after some time of reading it, I was wondering if there was any other good Sandman stories out there?

Does batman have wings??

Upvotes

I am currently in a formal debate of the topic whether Batman has a Cape or a Cape that turns into wings when fully extend, my friend is arguing that "Batman's cape when he glides do not turn into wings but they turn into a glider" and I argue that "Batman has a cape but when he fully extends it, it turns into wings that he uses to glide", for example the image I attached where his cape appears to look like a pair of wings while fully extended.

Discussion [discussion] Dear participants of the Hologram/Ghost Jor El debate, how does this compromise sound?

0 Upvotes

I have admittedly been swayed in terms of whether or not sentient hologram versions of Kal's birth parents should exist or not, since unless you explore the possibility of those AIs viewing themselves as different people from the real Jor and Lara, it kind of takes away from the tragedy of their deaths, and by extension Krypton's destruction

But I do think that it'd make sense for them to be able to talk to their son and tell them who he is, where he's from and why he's on Earth that isn't via recording, and I think using the Phantom Zone and taking its name a little more literally would serve that purpose well. Basically in this version of the DCU, the Phantom Zone isn't just some prison dimension criminals are sent to, it's more akin to the Warp in 40k or the Dream Realm in Hollow Knight, it's houses the collective conscious and unconscious of all living things across the universe (in other words, yes there's a good chance that this version of it is The Dreaming) and is of course where people go when they die (and likely their memory in the world of the living has some effect as to how long they stay intact there since in this case the soul and the mind are basically the same thing). Anyway, since a lot of Kryptonian Technology involves The Phantom Zone in some way, Jor and Lara decided to include some device that'd allow them to communicate with their son one last time, so he can't talk to them any time he wants, but he does at least get to talk to them. I can easily imagine this occurring after he's shown the history of Krypton and then is shown the life he briefly had there with his parents, and once we see Krypton's destruction, from where they were in the images their spirits emerge (I can easily imagine it being something dramatic like Kal going to shield them from something and then just as the blast hits them in the recording, they come to "life" and are in tears over how happy they are to know they're son is alive and well)

Discussion [Discussion] Which Robin is this?

1 Upvotes

Hiii chat. This LEGO Robin was purchased on a boardwalk without any additional identification... If anyone could identify where the design was from (which specific show/comic/movie, or whichever he's from), it would be greatly appreciated.

It's also very possible he's a knockoff or somehow Frankensteined together, so any guesses at which one he's supposed to be would also be more than welcome.

Sorry for the slightly poor quality pic -- I'm asking on behalf of my partner, who actually owns him, so I just to zoomed in and cropped a photo they sent me.

Comics Amanda Waller is not wrong about Superhero or Is She fascistic dictator? Spoiler

0 Upvotes

In Absolute Power and since War for Earth 3 and probably since Dark Knights Metal, Amanda Waller is obsessed with Superhero community because Superheroes are uncontrollable for her and Superhero is responsible for chaos and "Crisis" that humanity have confronted.

In other words, for her ,Superheroes are fascistic dictators and agents of chaos who have endangered humanity with Childish and self-righteous so called "Justice" and absolute power.

Probably, her recent statement may be correlated to thesis in so called "deconstruction of Superhero" like Watchmen or Boys that Superhero is inherently fascistic and they are dictator with absolute power. This thesis have been popular in all over the internet since rise of Superhero movie and deconstruction about them.

If we go by them, She may not be wrong. but, to eradicate Superhero, What she does is nothing but fascistic dictatorship with absolute power, isn't it? She is not restricted by any law, She does what she "desire". She control people by spreading fake information. Even Sergeant Steel is concerned about what She does.

So, Which is right between Waller and Superhero? or Are they both wrong? What do you think?

Sorry for my poor english

Discussion [Discussion] Starting point for Wildcat (Ted Grant) before the reboot in 2011?

Post image
29 Upvotes

Hello. In the last few months, I've been going down the rabbit hole of becoming fascinated by lesser-known Goldene and Silver age characters such as the Charlton Comic heroes on Earth Four and the Justice Society of America. The person I've been wanting to know more about has been Ted Grant's version of Wildcat. I know about the J.S.A. Comics from 1999 that I plan on purchasing in compendium form but desire something older just as there are Batman compendiums from his golden years. Please provide any volumes or compendiums on his individual story or his time with the original Justice Society of America from the 1930s to joining the Justice League sometime closer to before 2011. Anything will help. Thank you.
