That is great news. I love Robinson and I hope he puts together a good cast of characters (I really hope he keeps blue-Starman and Congorilla). Plus I’m really excited to have a talented regular artist. I was not a fan of Ed Benes’ work on the league.

So does this mean Bagley is off Batman now to do this? Not upset, but curious….

But Robinson & Bagley together on JLA is quite possibly the best news I’ve seen in a long time.

I don’t know what to say. I was hoping for Geoff Johns, there was that rumor. Looking at the cover, that cannot be the cover to the first issue. I have to say is that the book needs: a better cover for Robinson’s first issue, and a better condensed lineup. I guess we have to find out what the first issue is all about, and see if anything from Cry For Justice connects to it. As we all know it is thats eries, and us, that must’ve got DC’s attention to hire Robinson from JL to JLA.

Hey, JLA might actually be readable again when they start up, awesome! Time to lose Vixen though, she wore out her welcome about three issues into Meltzer’s run. Hopefully this will be some hybrid of the two useful characters in the current book and the Hal-league.

Hey Nate. I think Vixen is standing in front of a picture of the Big 3 – so, it’s possible.

Didn’t see that coming. Love this combo… Not the least of which is JLA will never be late or delayed. Always a PLUS.

Certainly, given the success that James is having on the Superman books, this is a good choice. I just wish that I found his work to be anywhere near the level it was in the Starman era.

Kind of makes you wonder where Johns and Lee are going to go (Legion ???) or if all those rumors about those two collaborating were way off..

If I hadn’t read that horrible 5-page preview for Cry For Justice, I might be more excited about this…

That was bad, people.

I think Bagely is only on Batman for an arc. But even if he wasn’t I think he’s fast enough (and good enough) to do both of those series at the same time lol

I was hoping for a reunion of Mark Bagley with Fabian Nicieza on TEEN TITANS since that title is in dire need of refocusing and both have a proven record with “young” voices.

Is it a running gag now that every JLA cover must feature all or some of them lying unconscious on the ground ? And the occasional shot of Red Tornado torn in half ?

I say “Good luck” to them! They’re gonna need it. But then, as others have pointed out, it might become a readable book again. That is, so long as DC Editorial keeps their grubby paws off the book and lets Robinson chart his own course.

Bagley’s certainly a good choice. Although I strongly disliked Trinity, his art was never the problem. Just no more covers of the entire league lying unconscious, please.

You heard it here first: Vixen is the next C-list comic book character that Warners’ will tap for film treatment. Looking at how much play she’s been getting since her run in the DCAU, it seems apparent that they’re trying to boost the character’s profile and, honestly, from a demographic standpoint, she’s ripe for film. Sexy african american woman with a rather nifty power set and not a lot of well-known continuity to bog her down. Honestly, if Halle Berry hadn’t already been used all over the place, I’d say she would be a shoo-in for such a part. Just remember… you heard it here first…

Man, I haaate Bagley’s art. It just looks rushed (which it must be sometimes). It looks like all of his women just have on bad wigs. Maybe he’s improved since Ultimate Spider-Man came out bimonthly and Gwen, MJ, and Kitty all looked the same and equally sloppy.

I have to say that I wasn’t interested in McDuffie’s run, and I think it is probably both the Editorial Staff at fault, and his own, for him being let go, but I hope that in a way, they don’t just let Robinson do his own thing because it would be totally shafting McDuffie.

In any case, I might be more interested in this line-up if Bagley wasn’t on it. I get that because of Ultimate Spider-Man he’s an A-List that will bring sales to this book, but his art, to me, is more for Ultimate Spider-Man — he can draw hot when it comes to teenagers, but at least for the “Trinity”, he comes off stale to me.

I really wish that the Hal/Ollie team would just come over here as that is what makes me want to read a Justice League title. Anything with Supergirl really.

As for Vixen, I have always loved the character, and am happy to see her spotlighted more, but that whole world in her totem thing or whatever it was did nothing for me, and now seeing her apparently gone all feral and taking out the JLA doesn’t make me want to pick up the book either.

As for a Vixen movie, that essentially was done with “Catwoman”: sexy black woman with animal powers — even her costume was sort of a cross between Mari’s current and original (what inspired Pantha’s) costume, but if it hadn’t been for that, then maybe I could see it happen.

I like James Robinson he is one of the British writer who doesn’t change everything when he comes on board he adds layers
and suffistication (I love Grant Morrison but he does tend to remake things)

suffistication – sorry, lol.

and as much as I like robinson’s work, I do think he’s better when left to flesh out his own world rather than work with stock characters (I think they’ve figured that out with his approach to Superman). Bagley really does leave me cold though

i hate what DC did to McDuffie, both in his treatment on the title and dismissal from it…but damn, if this isn’t an incredible creative team to bring on. i feel like i should take more of a stand for integrity or something here…but Robinson and Bagley are too enticing to pass up! sigh…i have no principles…:p

I like Bagley, and he’s a consistent artist (which a lot of books are lacking right now) but Robinson’s work on Superman has been a huge let down. I would have preferred to see Geoff Johns on the book.

I was thinking JMS or Joe Casey, but Robinson isnt bad. well done

I actually like Robinson’s Superman, and think he’s a great choice for writer. Bagley, on the other hand, not so much. My only exposure to his stuff has been Trinity. Another poster mentioned his work looking rushed, and I have to agree. Maybe it’ll be better here since it’s not weekly and he can devote more attention to it.

Crud- had dropped this, but now may have to pick it up again! Need to to shed the titles I’m collecting, but this is making it hard!

The writer on this book is Dan Didio and DC editorial, the same knuckleheads who’ve been writing the book for years.

What is the DEAL with the number of JLA covers these days that feature most of the team unconscious at the feet of someone else?

They had to do this to shut Robinson up. With the way they handled his other Justice League series.

Hey, I kind of LIKE Vixen, myself. If you think about all the animals out there she can tap, she’s pretty powerful, and she’s not bad on the old eyeballs besides.
Let’s give these new guys a chance, hey?

The JLA without the BIG 3, just ain’t the JLA, Vixen and co. are as boring as BATSH%T!

Hal and Ollie’s team are a much more exciting prospect.

And when will BATMAN (Dick Grayson) get his chance?

Unquestionably imagine that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to be mindful of. I say to you, I certainly get irked at the same time as folks consider concerns that they just don’t understand about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as smartly as outlined out the entire thing with no need side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
