King of Atlantis, Monarch of the Seven Seas and custodian of the Atlantian Chronicles. Orin is the acknowledged ruler of Earth's oceans, he can communicate with sea-life via the "Clear" and is physically adapted to operating in the ocean depths. In recent years he has become bombastic and more than a little gruff making the younger heroes wary of him. Morrison Quote: "He's a basic one. Aquaman is king of the seas and lord of the oceans in a figurative and literal sense. I want to use him a lot more, so we'll see him in the Watchtower a lot more often as he becomes a major player in the league." Waid Quote: " I'm always scrambling for a way to place him in the story. His royal background is similar to Wonder Woman. So their relationship will be...a subject for examination. " |

President of Wayne Industries and Chairman of the Wayne Foundation. Considered to be an urban legend by many he is the de facto-guardian of Gotham City. Believed to be amongst the top five martial artists in the world and the world's greatest detective. Batman recently revealed his secret identity to the rest of the League in an effort to rebuild trust after the events of the "Tower of Babel" storyline. Morrison Quote: "He fills the role of the lord of the underworld. It allows us to keep him on Earth more, rather than on the Watchtower, which is in the 'heavens'. He's the dark god connected to the underworld." Waid Quote: " He's the brain trust of the group, the master strategist. He's the one you want at your side when there's a fight." |

As Kid Flash he was a founder of the Teen Titans and progeny of Barry Allen (Flash II). He assumed the mantel of the Flash upon the death of Allen.

Freelance artist and graphic designer. Possessor of the last Oan power ring. Assumed identity of Green Lantern after the destruction of the Guardians by Hal Jordan. Initially inexperienced he has since proven himself to fellow JLA members as their equal. Morrison Quote: "The young god of light. Again, like the Flash, this was an easy one to fit in, and it ties in pretty well with Kyle's powers and place on the team." Waid Quote: "He's the point-of-view character for the readers. He's just a regular guy who can't believe he's playing with the Beatles. " |

Sole survivor of the planet Mars. He was brought to Earth by a teleportation ray and has spent decades undercover in an entire legion of assumed identities. Went public following the debut of Superman and was a founding member of the original JLA. He has been a JLA member longer than any other hero and serves as the heart of the team. Morrison Quote: "He's not strictly on the team anymore. He'll be taking an advisory capacity. He wants to put more effort into becoming the superhero for the southern hemisphere, which is what's he's been becoming. I'd like to see him get a series of his own." Waid Quote: "Because of his alien nature, he's never a strong leader when there's someone like Batman or Superman around. But he's the best second-in-command amd right-hand-man ever. " |

He's also the conscience of the League. " |

Avatar and agent of the Olympian gods. She was created out of clay by Queen Hippolyta of Paradise Island and was given life by the Olympian Gods. As an adult she became their ambassador in Patriarch's World seeking to spread a message of love and peace. For a time she joined her mentors as Diana, Goddess of Truth but has since relinquished her position to return to the role of Wonder Woman. Morrison Quote: "While she isn't Superman's [Zeus] wife as she was in Greek myth, she is nearly his equal in terms of strength and respect." Waid Quote: "She's a living paradox-the warbringer here to create peace. Just like in Kindgom Come, we'll play with that paradox a lot. " |
