Great choices
Half of my team based on Black Adam Movie cast
My take
I would very much like
Helena Wayne to be part of the JSA
Her mini series
By Paul Levitz
Was incredible
But her
Being the daughter of
Bruce Wayne
Makes it complicated
But then again
Where is
Power Girl
From really?
If I could
I would substitute
Her for Mr Terrific or
Jesse Chambers
I didn’t use
Stargirl and her JSA
To avoid confusion
And allow freedom
From CW show
The two Jakeems
Could allow two teamups
Because
Thunderbolt can only do one thing once
Like
An Earth to Earth transport
Alan Scott will in be HBO Max Green Lantern series set in 1940s
Dr Midnite according to CW Stargirl was born in 1910
Most 1940s JSA born in 1910s or 1920s.
Johnny as depicted in Doomsday Clock is very very old and may not have Thundetbolt. Also more a humorous character. Like more Thunderbolt as funny one
The issue with Jay is not so much him as his wife. The Speed Force could be used to keep him active
But as with Lightning in Thunder Agents, Speed could be aging him, since speed is slowing things down, so more aging in less time than mere humans do
For original JSA
Still tied to World War II
Would like
This team
To team up with original
JSA in 1940s
To test potential
For 1940s set series

I think I’d go with the “classic” lineup that was featured in the 1991/1992 Len Strazewski Justice Society of America series, plus Kent Nelson Doctor Fate (who was absent from those series due to DC messing around with Doctor Fate at that time). These are the characters that I most closely associate with the JSA:
Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
Flash (Jay Garrick)
Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson)
Hawkman
Hawkgirl
Wildcat (Ted Grant)
Doctor Mid-Nite (Charles McNider)
Starman (Ted Knight)
Black Canary (Dinah Lance)
Hourman (Rex Tyler)
Sandman (Wes Dodds)
Atom (Al Pratt)
Johnny Thunder

I believe this great series was set in the 1950s
The question always is
Do period comics sell?

It would surely be great if they did. Some things are better in the era they are originally from.
I would love to see a 1940s era JSA series. Same for stuff like a 1950s/60s James Bond period movie, or a 1939 Batman comic. I would really dig a hard-boiled Alan Scott Black Label series set during the early era of Mystery Men as well as dealing with him having to be both a gay man and a superhero in the Gotham City of 1940.

DC did set up
Wonder Woman saving
FDR in the 1940s
And inspiring
Alan Scott
So maybe a 1940s mini series to test the waters?
Also a JSA Title with

I wanted to like it more than I did, but I’d still love to see them revisit that era and that Batman even though DC doesn’t have the rights to Doc Savage or The Spirit anymore. They could create some pastiches or rework some DC classics.

Roy Thomas used Midnight who looked like Spirit in All Star Squadron

One of these days I really need to take the time and reread the Doc Savage and Spirit First Wave series. I reread the mini-series last year in anticipation but never got around to it.

The 1991 series was, but the 1992 series moved the action forward to the then-present-day continuity.
It could be something akin to what Mark Waid is doing now with World’s Finest, where it’s set in the vaguely-defined “past”.

I have the book on my shelf. I haven’t read it but the art is pretty good but never calls out to me when I am deciding on a book to read. That might change one day though.
As for my JSA team:
Huntress (Helena Wayne)
Black Canary (Dinah Drake)
Power Girl
Doctor Midnite
WildCat
Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)
Joannie Thunder
Hawkman

I need nine JSA related comics a month with ninety different members.
Golden Age: Mystery Men give way to the new super heroes 1939-1941, sort of Earth Two with slight changes to history (moving Wonder Woman’s debut up to right after Superman and Batman for instance)
All-Star Squadron: World War II superheroics
Infinity Inc.: It’s time for the children of the JSA to take over… in the 1960s!
Infinity Inc. II: the grandchildren are now at it in the 1990s!
JSA: current DC Earth team
and four individual series set in the present day DCU
Stargirl
Spectre
Hawkman and Hawkwoman
Black Adam

- Power Girl
- Jay Garrick Flash
- Alan Scott Green Lantern
- Black Adam (likely a lock above all, given his movie)
- Dr. Fate
- Atom Smasher
- Cyclone
- Hawkman
- Hawkwoman
- Mister Terrific
PG and MT can serve as team leaders.
I won’t be at all surprised if all of the JSA characters in the Black Adam movie end up on the team of the oft-rumored new Justice Society book, should it debut this year, and especially if it debuts when the movie does.
Also, I’d like to see brand-new characters on the team.
I love the stalwarts of course, but new blood to enliven the team (and Justice Society franchise in general) is always welcome.
