Would you read JL if it had all female Founders

[yvahed]

I'd get it ! Love what Marvel are proposing with the new X-Men series and Fearless Defenders.

My choice for the founding team would be:

Wonder Woman
Zatanna
Hawkwoman (Shayera Thal)
Batwoman
Black Canary
Vixen
Mera

Supergirl, Batgirl, Miss Martian and Gypsy as trainees
I imagine Huntress and Power Girl would go over to Earth2 eventually (they can guest star frequently as would Big Barda, Fire and Ice)

[Punter23]

Yes and No

I like a team with a mix of genders, it is more fun but yeah I would read it though cause it could be interesting but again depends on characters and I guess who's writing it.

[nightrider]

For an elseworld, maybe. In regular continuity if JL is founded by an all girls team, no. If its a Justice League team with all female characters on top of the regular justice league team, then maybe.

[theyallfalldown]

in a heartbeat!

the sad thing is, they dont even need to go that far, i would have been overjoyed at the jl relaunch if there was more than one female founder. DC really had a shot to do something different here, and they blew it in my mind. dont get me wrong, i am so pleased that cyborg was given the exposure he deserved, but would it have hurt to have 8 founders instead of 7, or replace one of the male characters with a female one? there are so many amazing dc female characters, too many to count. Instead of elevating one or more of them to justice league founder, they kept things as they had been with one exception.

Don't have a problem with an all female cast JL, but to make it founded by all females. Ya, can't say i'd be for that.

But why? Would you be ok with a JLA all founded by men? What is the difference?

No I would not be ok with it as well. Because the founders of Justice League are Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Flash. Throughout all the years, this fact has never changed. 5 of them are the most important founders and they continue to be. So I would not want to have Batgirl and Supergirl replacing Batman and Superman. Neither would I trade Green Arrow for Wonder Woman.

[ceroxide]

its called Birds of Prey and its awesome!
now a JLA compromised of say Powergirl, Batgirl, Wonder Woman... well for those 3 alone yes I would read/buy a female JLA book

Not quite.



The original founding team was Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash and Aquaman. But Wonder Woman was there. After Crisis on Infinite Earths, Wonder Woman was replaced with Black Canary as a founding member, but that got switched back after Infinite Crisis.

Depends if there is the hook to lure me in.
While I was lured into Ame-Comi with the visual style, found out as I read it that it's actually good...and one of the only DC comics publications that actually makes me laugh.

[The Darknight Detective]

Only if it's an Elseworld story. The JLA, IMO, should have the greatest heroes, which means a mix of genders. Would I read it if that weren't the case? Guess it depends on how it's handled, but I still wouldn't be crazy about it.

As to the question

Would you read JL if it had all female Founders

I'd have to say "no". But that's only if you meant THE "Justice League".

Now, if we're talking A "Justice League", which didn't outright happen instead of with THE "Justice League", I'd be open to that. But the Justice League, much as I dislike Geoff Johns take, should have its origins as the best heroes, both male and female. Having it vanish from DC history and replaced by an all-girl/woman group seems like a cheap attention grab, and I'd worry about whether it would be any good.

(Now, if DC somehow acquired the FemForce franchise and incorporated that into the New 52, mixing AC Comics superwomen with some DC fighting females, . . . )

[neverender]

Not if Johns still wrote it.

[MadDog1981]

I said no. I could be drawn in with the right creative team and word of mouth. But I would probably skip it right out of the gate.

[theXfactor]

I don't think the main team should be all female, but it wouldn't hurt if there was at least one more female founder on the team (Black Canary!).
