The Justice League of America is apparently heading north of the
border to my home and native land that is Canada come Spring 2014, with
writer Jeff Lemire at the helm. Promising a dream-team of characters to
fill out the roster, a mix of top names and a new Canadian character as
bonus.
With such little details as to the who's, why's and how's we will focus on the people who already exist or have existed in the past within the DC Universe who could possibly make up the team. As for the new character, all that shall be said is, "Good Luck!" Having never even crossed the border, I can tell you that it will not be an easy task. Very "Marvel-Heavy" up here in Canada product wise, and I am sure there are already people out there waiting to compare this with Marvel's Alpha Flight. However, we are very loyal to roots and tradition, and the fact that co-creator of Superman Joe Shuster was born here may help the situation as here in Canada we're all about our Quarters and Stamps, and sure enough Supes himself has and will again soon be appearing on both of those. I usually poke fun at my country for these things, but will admit am looking into getting my hands on all the Superman Quarters and Stamps ahaha
Okay, back to the point, Who Should Be On The Justice League Of Canada Roster?
Green Lantern Simon Baz
With the happenings in the real world, everyone always looks to Superman to be that shining light in a currently dark world of comic books, perhaps this Lanterns light is the one to be that beacon. Yes, pun heavily intended!
Nightwing
If anyone has read "Forever Evil #1" then they would understand why Richard Grayson might want to lay low in the great white north for a bit. Plus, Batman seems to be everywhere among the 52 titles, Nightwing would fill that role in this book nicely.
Swamp Thing
Yes, referred to as the great white north, but trust me despite the rumors it isn't winter all year around up here, we have spring, summer and fall as well and it is green as it gets up here, and that would fit into Swamp Things comfort zone nicely.
Frankenstein
Going with this guy as a recruiter of sorts for Bigfoot a flip side to Marvel's Sasquatch as a new character. It's far fetched, but is anything really in comic books?
Booster Gold
Apparently Booster is a Canuck. However, that isn't confirmed yet in the New 52 either apparently. But, if he is, then most definitely make him a member. Comedy between him and Nighwing could be similar to that of The Flash and Green Lantern Hal Jordan.
Animal Man
Much like Swamp Thing, Animal Man would fit in nicely in Canada's wilderness. With, although slightly common, more of a variety of animals can be included. Wolverine, anybody?
Batgirl
Far fetched, as she is in a compelling story of her own as of late. Yet, the current situation could see Babs needing a break from Gotham. Added bonus is reuniting on a more regular basis with Grayson.
Ice
Strong feeling that perhaps the new character being created to join the DC Universe is going to be a female Canadian as I can't think of any at all really. However, if that isn't the case and Batgirl is held up in Gotham City, then the character Ice to complete the roster. She also fills the "Canada equals Snow & Ice" stereotype ahaha
We'll find out who really made the cut come Spring 2014! All of you Americans that will be joining the ride, pack light as you may want to be a villain and smuggle our beer back with you!
Stay Nerdy!
