Who was their leader?


I think that Lex Luthor was the leader of the Legion of Doom but what about the JLA? Was it Batman or Superman or both?

reply

They never really said, but everyone pretty much assumes Superman was leader.

In the comics, they had a 'rotating chairmanship,' with everyone taking a turn.

reply

OK thanks for the reply. That would make sense as not to offend anyone.

reply

Yeah, but even in the comics, everyone deferred to either Superman or Batman, regardless of the chairman. The same was true in other team books. Captain America or Iron Man always seem to be defacto leaders of the Avengers and Hawkman was the key leader of the JSA, and Robin was always the leader of the Teen Titans.

In my own view I always had put Superman as leader fallow by...

Batman
Wonder Woman
Aquaman

and if anything happen to all of them I always had put.

Green Lantern
Hawkman
Flash
Black Volcan
as secondeary [ms] leaders. The others like Robin the Wonder Twins Firestorm,Samuri and Cyborg never put as leaders.

reply

Yeah my view is similar. Superman seems to be the leader since he united the team in "History of Doom". The teams name was also SUPERfriends. I think the JLA split up and Superman created a new team with Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Robin since the boy wonder was not a part of the Teen Titans.

reply

It was a coleadership between Superman and Batman. They were best friends and deeply respected each other and ther other Superfriends deferred to either one of them.

reply

Agreed, but I always put Superman ahead of Batman between the 2. It would have been funny to have Superman come up with a plan and Apache Chief throw a temper tantrum and have his own plan and pull a Jerry Maguire and walk out saying "who is with me?!!"

reply

Superman was the almost immortal. Only kryptonite could kill him. Batman had money but was still human. So I'd go with superman.
