Barry Allen is far and above my favorite Leaguer. First off, love the powers, the costume, the secret ID (How many forensic scientist heroes are there in comics?) but there is something else that really draws me to Barry. Especially during the Silver-Age. His heroism and optimism and his idealism are all things that interested me the first time I read about him.

I grew up with Wally as the Flash, so I had only known the Flash as a cocky smart-mouth character, who, at time, got old. Fast. Barry on the other hand seemed to be one of us; a comic book geek who just wanted to do the right thing. While Superman is a God, Barry is an average guy, doing his best to help people both as the Flash and as a cop.

I know it was long-winded, but that in a nutshell is why Barry is my favorite JLA’er. Flash Fact.

Zatanna – I think she’d be a fun, entertaining personality off duty and strengthen bonds between people. Plus, with her magic ehs si eni pu no namrepuS.

Who? Batman.

Why? No ‘doping’ apart from brains and (let’s be honest) a lot of money at his disposal. The most human of all. In fact it should be called BatMAN.

There is no question that it would have to be Batman. There is something about an individual who is the best at everything he does and doesn’t rest on his success. He instead continues to learn, continues to grow, continues to push himself. All this and he is actually the sanest crazy person in the DC Universe.

Hmmm. I remember I was actually excited when Firestorm joined the League. Loved the character. I think overall, I’d have to go with Power Girl, as awful as her characterization was in the JLE series (i.e. bitch), it was important to me that she was there and not being forgotten.

I like Hawkgirl from the Justice League cartoon, because she’s hot.

I have a weakness for the Giffen/deMatteis Martian Manhunter. Because of the Oreos. :-)

Superman because he is just super!

With no doubt my favorite is Batman.
He makes JLA different to another SH’s groups…there are more Supers, more velocists, more aliens, but only ONE Batman.

Ill always consider Batman the greatest member among the Justice League, as one of the icons of the association and original founder, he commits himself to the act of defending not only Gotham but the world and levels against the greatest of the other super-powered heroes by use of his own intellect and human technology. Any man who can keep up with Superman and Wonder-Woman. He has his flaws and weaknesses, but these are namely the faults of ordinary men and for that he best represents true stoicism in an extraordinary universe. (p.s. long live the league)

Hm. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve read a Justice League comic, but I’ll say ‘Oracle’ as well. If not her, then probably Batman…just for punching out Guy Gardner. :)

Red Arrow/Arsenal/Speedy/Roy Harper.
Just because he is the most fair-minded person in the whole DC-Universe.

Well it’s kinda obvious, that Booster Gold is my favourite JL member. I mean, after doing a Booster Gold costume and making two stage shows with him as a main character (and it goes on :3) there must be some kind of affection towards the character.

He’s got one of the most interesting origins and has gone through A LOT since his first days which also defined the character even more.

But I love him mainly because he’s so much fun to read about especially combined with Blue Beetle.

Alright for various reasons I haven’t read DC comics in a long time (and by various I mean certain things in the comics that I won’t get into here) and so I could be wrong about her membership but I so love and believe in this character I am staking my chance at a shirt on this once vote.

Oracle. Sure, Babs was great when she was Batgirl but once she became Oracle, she became one of the most dynamic and interesting characters in comics. Period. Information broker, eskrima practitioner and all around icon. As someone who uses a wheelchair and rarely sees anyone in a chair in an action hero capacity, or even in a heroic capacity in comics, she means a lot to me, and to lots of other people. If she’s not a member of the JL she should be.

Now, the other question…why hasn’t she had a t-shirt yet?

I have to go with Batman because he is the non powered hero,while Martian Manhunter has always been the heart of the JLA. Batman has always been the mind,never wavering in what was right and always thinking of non powered beings first.

My favourite has always been Oliver Queen as Green Arrow, as he seems to be have more ‘human’ in him than many of the others. The man makes some dreadful mistakes and he’s clearly an arse, but he does mean well, and I can identify with that. How can anyone fail to love a man who fires arrows with boxing gloves on the end, anyway?

When I was 11 years old, I fell in love with Hal Jordan. I would save my allowance in order to buy the Green Lantern comics at the little newsstand 2 blocks from my house. These comics were among the first things I was able to purchase on my own as a kid, and I treasured them, read and re-read them until the comics almost fell apart. I read other comics, too, but Hal was always my favorite. Even today, many decades later, I still have a soft spot for him, and he’s my favorite Green Lantern. For the record, I HATED Zero Hour, and I rejoiced when DC brought Hal back.

The Question: What is not to like? He has no super powers, just like Batman. In the JLU episodes he was going to kill Luthor to save the image of the JL. He is a conspiracy theory expert and his ramblings were the funniest things ever!

Oh man, it just has to be Connor Hawke. A member for the shortest time yet he was so awesome. For those who don’t remember this was back when Morrison was on JLA and he basically had Hawke rescue all of the classic JLA. which is no small shakes. So for that alone he wins for me.
