If you had a custom DC deck of cards, who would your faces be for each suit?
For instance, I’d go:
Spades:
ACE — Krypto
KING — Superman
QUEEN — Supergirl
JACK — Superboy
Diamonds:
ACE — Itty
KING — Hal Jordan
QUEEN — Star Sapphire
JACK — John Stewart
Hearts:
ACE — Gleek
KING — Super Friends (Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, Samurai, El Dorado)
QUEEN — Wonder Twins
JACK — Marvin, Wendy, and Wonder Dog
Clubs:
ACE — Ace the Bat-Hound
KING — Batman
QUEEN — Batwoman
JACK — Nightwing
And for the two Jokers, of course, Joker and Harley Quinn.

Ace - Superman
King - Batman
Queen - Wonder Woman
Jack - The Flash
Diamonds:
Ace - Nightwing
King - Wally West
Queen - Donna Troy
Jack - Roy Harper
Spades:
Ace - Darkseid
King - Lex Luthor
Queen - Catwoman
Jack - Black Adam

On a separate but related note - the Justice League Tarot deck has some awesome artwork and fantastic choices for the cards.

I’m extremely disappointed that no one has listed the Ace o’ Clubs as Bibbo Bibbowski.

See, then the aces would be Ace, an ace pilot, an ace reporter, and the owner of the Ace o’ Clubs.
The Flash characters are hearts because Flash stories tend to be heavily driven by the romantic plot (and they literally wear red suits), and the Bat-characters are spades because they’re dark and edgy, so they get the pointier-looking black suit. With the World’s Finest in the black suits, it made sense for the other iconic duo of the Flash and Green Lantern to have the red suits. Kyle and Simon were not excluded on purpose, I just assigned each card to whoever seemed to fit it and they were the ones left over.

What form of bias? I think Dr Light would make a great one of the two Jokers.

The joke was you naming desaad king
Kings are the second highest in the order, often put into seemingly difficult circumstances by the card above them and the queen below. Seeemed.
