The Justice League, sometimes called the Justice League of America or JLA for short, is a fictional DC Comics superhero team.
First appearing in The Brave and the Bold #28 (1960), the League originally appeared with a line-up that included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter. However, the team roster has been rotated throughout the years with the recognizable characters Green Arrow, Atom, Hawkman, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, Plastic Man and dozens of others. Throughout the years, various incarnations or subsections of the team have also operated as Justice League America, Justice League Europe, Justice League International, Justice League Task Force, Justice League Elite, and Extreme Justice.
Various comic book series featuring the League have remained generally popular with fans since inception because, in most incarnations, its roster includes DC's most popular characters. The League concept has also been adapted into various other entertainment media, including the classic Saturday morning Super Friends animated series (1973-1986), a lesser known live action television movie, and most recently the successful animated series Justice League (2001-2004) and Justice League Unlimited (2004-2006). A live-action film was in the works in 2008 before being shelved.

Justice League: In Blackest Night Part One
On the alien world of Ajuris 5 an outlandish crowd of sentients is called to order by the leader of the High Tribunal. The Tribunal is a a trio of alien judges who appear as disembodied heads on a view screen inside a vast, stadium-like, court room. They state that never before has such a heinous crime brought together so many beings in grief and revulsion. The lead judge then tells the Prosecutor to bring forth the accused, but he is informed that the accused is still at large. Upon hearing this the lead judge calls forward the Manhunters, a corps of android soldiers whose mantra is ?No Man Escapes the Manhunters.? The Manhunters are then informed that their target is the Green Lantern of Earth.
On Earth, Green Lantern has returned to his childhood neighbourhood in his civilian alter ego of John Stewart. He walks the streets to collect this thoughts and is unrecognized by other citizens who are enjoying the crisp winter?s day. He uses his power ring once to stop a grocery store robbery, but slips away before anybody else notices. Quite by chance Stewart encounters Al McGee, his High School history teacher, and his grandson Chris. He hangs out with them for a time, but it?s clear that John is hesitant to explain what?s troubling him.
Meanwhile, a trio of Manhunters attract the attention of J?onn J?onzz, Hawkgirl, and Flash as they hurtle past the Justice League?s orbiting Watchtower. The Leaguers follow the Manhunters down to the city streets and question them about their reason for visiting Earth. The Leaguers react angrily when the Manhunters tell them that they are here for John Stewart and a physical confrontation ensues. The powerful Manhunters deflect the Leaguers? attacks with ease until Superman?s arrival evens the odds. The battle is cut short by Green Lantern?s intervention. He stuns his friends by willingly surrendering himself into the Manhunters? custody. He and the Manhunters teleport away before the Leaguers get an explanation.
The Manhunters? return to Ajuris 5 is met by a hostile crowd who are waving anti-Green Lantern signs and throw rotting fruit at Stewart as he passes. A group of Green Lanterns including Galius, Arrkis, and Kilowog are there to watch Stewart?s arrival, but?s it clear that they think he is as guilty as the crowd do. A snide comment by one of the Green Lantern?s about the Manhunters is overhead, but the Lead Manhunter prevents his soldiers from causing a scene by telling them ?not yet.? Stewart is left alone in his cell to ponder his upcoming trial. His arrest and arrival on Ajuris 5 is watched from afar by the Guardians of the Universe, the gnome like masters of the Green Lantern Corps, but they decide to remain on the sidelines for the time being.
Back at the Watchtower J?onn J?onzz is able to reach out across the gulf of space to John Stewart?s mind. They can?t communicate, but J?onn is able to pin point Stewart?s location on a star chart. Upon arrival at Ajuris 5 the League?s Javelin craft is attacked by the local defence patrol. After taking due care to avoid lethal force the League barge into the courtroom just as the Prosecutor is demanding that an example be made of Stewart. Superman apologises for the manner of their arrival, but asserts that they are friends of the accused. The lead judge then allows the Leaguers to take seats in the public gallery, but he warns them that he will tolerate no further interruptions.
The Prosecutor calls his first and only witness. Kanjar-Ro is, by his own admission, a pirate and thief, but he is willing to allow the court to probe his memories so they can be displayed as evidence against Stewart. Ro relates his story as his memories are projected on a giant screen for the court. Stewart had discovered that Ro was running blasters to a rebel faction on Ajuris 4 and had forced Ro to crash land on Ajuris 4?s moon. Before Stewart could question Ro he was attacked by a fleet of ships belonging to Ro?s unnamed backers. Stewart fired back, but his powerful energy blast bounced off of the attacker?s deflector shields. The shot ricocheted into a volcanic fault line on Ajuris 4 causing a seismic chain reaction that destroyed the entire planet and its 3 billion inhabitants. The court recesses to consider Ro?s testimony.
The Leaguers crowd around Stewart and protest that Ro is obviously lying, but he stuns them by admitting that Ro was actually telling the truth. The large rubble cloud in the sky above Ajuris 5 is the remains of Ajuris 4. John Stewart admits that he is guilty of its destruction!

Right now "The Dark Knight" is still on the tip of everyone's tongue. But now, instead of folks
breathlessly asking each other if they've seen it, talk has turned to
speculation over Batman's next foe. Who's it gonna be?
Slashfilm notes that there are additional possibilities floating around. For instance, Phillip Seymour Hoffman may play the Penguin or Angelina JolieCatwoman's skin-tight suit. Truth or fiction, fanboys around the world must be having a heart attack at the mere possibility. could don
Still, the "official" rumor mill is just one of the ways superfans are checking in on the next Batman flick. Many seek the scoop themselves. We've noticed impressive searches on "batman 3 rumors," "dark knight sequel casting rumors," and "batman's next villain."
That last query is very telling. People clearly want to know the answer, but we doubt even the filmmakers have decided. To that end, may we offer the studio execs this humble piece of Search-informed advice: Go with Catwoman. She's far-and-away the most popular baddie and there are already a slew of searches on possible cast members including Jessica Biel, Amy Adams, and, wait for it, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Do fans think Rachel Dawes, Bruce Wayne's one-and-only, was really the Catwoman all along?
iVillage is reporting that the Caped Crusader may take on the Riddler in "Batman 3." According to the rumor mill, Johnny Depp might sign on to play the nefarious super-criminal. But caveat emptor?this could be just as false as the one about Crispin Glover playing the Joker.
Captain Marvel
By Virgil The Storyteller
Captain Marvel was created in 1940 to be Fawcett Comic's
version of the popular DC hero Superman. After being approached
by a stranger while trying to sell his papers on a rainy-night,
Billy Baston followed the stranger, who turned out to be the
wizard Shazam.
The wizard explained to young Billy that he had been fighting
evil for 3,000 years and was growing tired. Thus, he gave his
powers to Billy. In order to activate his powers, Billy had to
shout "Shazam!" and he would be grow several years and feet,
and be granted the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules,
the endurance of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the bravery of
Achilles, and the speed of Mercury.
Captain Marvel's main foe was the evil Dr. Sivana. Known for
being smarter than his contemporary supervillain counterparts,
Sivana soon found out his hero's identity (something that
always managed to escape most other villains) and spend a good
deal of time trying to keep Billy from saying the magic word.
Sivana's daughter, Beautia, was the main love interest in the
comic. Her power was that her beauty "affects every man who
sees her as a powerful drug. "Not even the "Big Red
Cheese," as he was scornfully called by Sivana, was immune to
Beauty's charms.
Shortly after gaining his powers, Billy discovered he had a long
lost twin sister, Mary. Upon learning Billy's secret, the
first thing Mary wondered was if she too could have the powers
of Shazam. Billy's reply was immediate. "you know
he wouldn't give his powers to a girl."
Billy was quickly proved wrong, however, because when Mary
shouted "Shazam!" she was granted the powers of Selena,
Hippolyta, Ariandne, Zepphyrus, Aurora, and Minerva. This trend
in the growing family continued after Billy's friend Freedy
Freeman lost a scuffle with Captain Nazi and almost froze to
death. Taking Freddy to the same lair where Billy was granted
his powers, Billy appealed to the wizard to help. In return,
Freddy was given the ability to transform whenever he said
"Captain Marvel!"
It should be noted that neither Mary nor Freddy experienced the
same growth spurt that Billy did during their transformations.
Both stayed relatively small.
During the 1940s, all three Marvel family members enjoyed
publication success, and the Captain Marvel comic sold more than
any other comic during the period. This drew the attention of DC
Comics, who decided that Captain Marvel was a little too much
like Superman after all. Hit with a copyright infringement suit,
Fawcett Comics stopped publishing Captain Marvel.
When Captain Marvel comics began being published again in 1972,
it was under DC's logo. By that time, Marvel Comics had
trademarked the name Captain Marvel, so DC was forced to publish
the comic under the title of Shazam!
Though the new Captain Marvel solo series only lasted 35 issues,
since then, the character and his Marvel family have appeared in
numerous min-series and specials. Among them are The Power of
Shazam!, the Trials of Shazam! and Shazam! The New Beginning. In
addition, Captain Marvel joined the Justice League and Captain
Marvel Jr. joined the Outsiders. Captain Marvel's old villain,
Black Adam, became a major character in the Justice Society
books, and later, 52. Mary Marvel's most notable role of late
has been a tragic turn to the dark side as depicted in the
Countdown storyline.
Though originally began as a way to cash in on the Superman
buying craze, the character of Captain Marvel became a beloved
favorite in his own right. Both Captain Marvel and his
supporting cast survived a major lawsuit and are now integral
parts of the DC comic book landscape.
