  Justice League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The JLA comic was initially amongst the most popular of DC Comics' publications, but by the end of the 1960s, it had become overshadowed by Marvel Comics' equivalent super-team, the Avengers, in sales and quality.
In 1996, a new Justice League series titled JLA debuted, written by Grant Morrison and with art by Howard Porter and John Dell (though the new version of team first appeared in the miniseries JLA: A Midsummer's Nightmare, written by Mark Waid and Fabian Nicieza).
In 2005, the controversial story arc by Geoff Johns and Alan Heinberg called Crisis of Conscience (JLA #115-120), the aftermath of Identity Crisis, and a lead-in to Infinite Crisis led to the dissolution of the Justice League of America.

 JLA #68 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
We then join the rest of the JLA as they battle the Ocean Master & the Black Manta, who have laid claim to the ruins that now comprise Atlantis, and while these two villain put on an impressive display of their powers the JLA prove to be too powerful.
The sequence where the JLA is pulled through the magical portal is also a visually engaging bit of work, as Kyle nightmare adds a nice sense of foreboding as the JLA are pulled to their seeming dooms.
The issue also has the JLA dealing with the idea that Aquaman is still alive, and Joe Kelly does a nice job reminding the reader that Aquaman was a vital part of this group, and that Superman & Wonder Woman were far closer to the man than the rest of the team.

 JLA #74 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Now part of it does stem from the simple idea that I was bored of the big seven lineup even before this current arc began, and as such the all new, all different lineup fighting the good fight in the present day instantly grabbed my attention.
I mean an race of super-powered beings who are using their abilities to enslave an entire city, is hardly new ground, and giving the villains purple prose to spout at each other doesn't hide the fact that these characters are rather thin when it comes to their development as characters.
Now next issue is a big double-sized affair, and I imagine it'll have the new JLA arriving on the scene to take the baton from the fallen big seven JLA, and this could make for an interesting little showcase of how the new JLA compare to the former team.

JLA is one of DC's flagship titles and needs a writer of Busiek's stature on it monthly.
I jumped from the JLA ship when the rotating creative team concept was announced - the whole idea was awful and from the reviews I've come across since then I don't have any reason to question that decision - longing for the day that a regular, ongoing creative team would be brought on board.

All through the 1960s and '70s, the JLA series functioned as a meeting ground for DC's super characters.

The Leigon of Doom would be a fan-boy's dream come true but with all of those characters,things could get messy.It could be done but I think Dr.Destiny or the White Martians would work better.At least for the first movie.
I really want it to happen if done right, and I've participated in JLA casting threads, I just worry that it would suck because it might be cheesy or try to fit too much in.
If they fought some other Supergroup or alien threat, not only would the movie have to be about 5 hours long to set up why they are together and who they are fighting, but it would cost WAAAYYYYY too much.
