    I don't reject Flash, im just am having a hard time really getting into, or feeling much interest in, the current Flash because i have yet to let go of Wally. Im trying to learn to like Barry, but im struggling.

    Not that big a difference, really.
    Except Wayne wasn't killed so they could use Bertinelli, while Bertinelli WAS killed so they could use Wayne.

    There's no sense in dwelling on this, so agree to disagree.

    How about this would you take a comic set in a mutiverse in which the 7 were female?

    Yeah, I answered the poll wrong, I think.
    The AmeGirl comics are fun.

    In general, I would have the same discrimination/diversity problems with a team that feels overly exclusive.
    So, I'd have problems with a world in Multiversity that has a JL team where all the founders are female - they should have at least one male... and these days, I'd prefer a couple more.
    Same really with E-0. My preference would be to have a diverse team.

    I would!! I'm actually trying to find JL-Amazons. I've seen a couple of pictures here and there, but haven't come across the issues or trade.

    If DC made this happen, I would be happy with the following members:

    Leader: Wonder Woman
    Street Level: Black Canary
    Magician: Zatanna
    Telekinesis: Maxima
    Lantern: Carol Ferris
    Muscle: Big Barda
    Red head: Mera

    Reserves: Vixen, Dr. Light, Huntress, Hawkgirl, Elemental Woman and Fire.

    There would be tension between Maxima and Wonder Woman. They be at each others throats and in some cases go head to head against each other. Inevitably, Diana would come out on top. I didn't include Powergirl to the team, because she belongs with the Titans. I'd love to see her interact with Donna and Kory. Supergirl on the other hand is too young and is perfect for the Teen Titans. I place the heroes according to their age.

    Power Girl wouldn't belong with the Titans for several reasons. Including age, since she's several years older.
    Power Girl would belong to some other team -JS-A or JL spin-off- on par with the JL-A. Unless she was acting in the mentor position for a team of younger heroines.

    How old is Karen? I picture her around 27-28. Donna, Diack and Wally we're around that age prior to the re-boot.

    I'm not a huge fan of the Justice Society. They're okay, I'd rather see Karen interact with heroes I care about. That's one of the main reason, I didn't include her in the Justice League. Besides, with Wonder Woman, Maxima and Barda on the team she doesn't add much. Whereas in the Titans, she'd be the muscle.

    If not John who would you get to write and who would the artist be? Who would you want to be the big three.

    Power Girl was about 6 years older than Nightwing.

    I certainly wouldn't read it solely and exclusively because oh wow look they're all female! But if the story was good and the creative team were solid then I would certainly give it a look. I have nothing against all female teams on principle, but I would be wary if the only hook this hypothetical book had was the exact same stories except with just women. The same as a team made exclusively of LGBT characters (sadly that would be a small team I think) or ethnic minorities would need to have a good reason to exist and interesting stories to tell rather than just to tick a few PC boxes.

    Well, they might be the same time be writers can change on how they meet and if it's a alt universe they can go different routes on the villains they fight. The story must be different in order to hold fans. I'm just saying the founders not the whole league. After a couple of issues there should be other members or branches. I agree on what your saying. That stories can't be the same as in the Justice League.

    I'd definitely read a JL book if all the founding members were female, especially if three of those founders were Vixen, Wonder Woman and Zatanna.
    Storm & Black Panther: The Goddess and the Demi-God

    Forward with Storm and Black Panther

    The Trinity: Storm, Black Panther, Blue Marvel
