I'm pretty excited. Its a B-list cast and Johns does B-list characters really well. Plus I get to see MM Stargirl and Vibe, so I'm in. All a-list teams are boring.

I'm most excited by the cast of the book. Absolutely love Vibe, Stargirl, And Hawkman. Enjoy everyone else. It's time for these brahs to shine!
I don't like Catwoman as a hero either, I'm hoping she's not there for any personal, moral issue, but because she was either coerced or offered something, in return for joining the team. If they play it like that, and have her solely on the team for her infiltration/burglary skills, then they have my attention.
Still, since she's a known criminal, you'd have to wonder why they'd have her on the team, in her very recognizable outfit (an in-story reason, not the obvious Catwoman recognizably reason.).

I'm excited on the basis that a scrappier, less "iconic" League should be an interesting counterpoint to the Main League. And, God help them, Hawkman, Green Arrow and Martian Manhunter really need strong homes.
Plus, it seems a good place to put Simon Baz - a character I like, but I want Hal back as well!

I'm not a fan of just about anything Johns is doing right now, but I'm actually looking forward to him on Stargirl. I'll give it a try.

It's got about the same balance of Power that the Avengers Movie had two Heavy Hitters (Martian Manhunter once took on the whole JL solo and survived to tell the tale) a well trained group of normal humans and adds a sprinkling of minor super humans in to make an interesting mix. A think it sounds like a good dynamic overall and am very interested in seeing how it all plays out.
D-Deadman! You killed Deadman!!
Honestly, I heard that not every team member is suppose to be permanent and with that I'm hoping they switch Martian Manhunter with Billy Batson from Justice League. I actually want Catwoman to stay on the team as well.
