@SquiggyBomb  
who isn’t?
 
oh and real shame to the haters who are hating this
 

 
because they thought it’s actually the finished product (“their CGI sucks!!!”)

@OptimusPrimevil  
i actually watched a bit of power rangers lightspeed rescue when i kid and this looks interesting.

@angrybrony  
you’d be surprised how many got angry about this CONCEPT art because they mistook it as final product.
 
people had to point it out to the haters MULTIPLE times (because they can’t seem to grasp it’s concept art).

@OptimusPrimevil  
to be fair i actually would have thought it wa something transformers related if you hadn’t said it was power rangers.

Cyborg should not be a Justice League founding member, especially if it negates his time as a Titan, and they should keep Martian Manhunter as the 7th founding member.
 
The latter is much more interesting character and superhero with many more reasons to be a founding member. Have Cyborg join the Justuce League later on, not right away. Better still, allow him to mature and grow as a Titan first.

@EquestrianScholar  
wasn’t MM the cyborg of their time (MM supplied the tech for most of the league’s stuff)?
 
isn’t that cyborg’s role in the new JL (tech stuff)?

@OptimusPrimevil  
No Martian Manhunter was not the tech guy, that was more Batman’s focus though in the earlier comics Cyborg did come in later on to be the tech guy. No our green alien hero offered other things to the team, of greater worth I feel.
 
My complain is Cyborg being a founding member of the Justice League and taking the place of Martian Manhunter. It doesn’t fit his character and makes it difficult, if impossible, to also be a founding member of the Titans.

@EquestrianScholar  
i don’t even get why they needed to make vic a leaguer anyways. couldn’t batman make gadgets for the league?

@angrybrony  
best guess is for diversity
 
now why not let john stewart in instead of hal jordan?

 
ha ha!

@OptimusPrimevil  
because his retired mabe john oliver could fit the bill?

@angrybrony  
ha ha!
 
also  

 
harley vs deadpool next

@OptimusPrimevil  
If it was about diversity, they could have made J’onn’s human disguise be African American since he is a shapshifter. There was comic versions of him that did such.
 
On the question of why not use John Stewart instead of Hal Jordan is because he wasn’t the founding member or the first Green Lantern. More, he was in truth a replacement of a replacement.
 
Dammit, if you are going to show the creation of the Justice League and show its founding members get it right!

@EquestrianScholar  
that’s the best answer i could come up with.
 
the stewart sub would make sense if you’re more familiar with the animated version.

@EquestrianScholar  
But hal sucks, most modern fans grew up with John, Hal is only alive because his piss poor fan boys weren’t told to fuck off when they along with so many others decided to wreck the DCU because of their whiny trukk not munky bullshit,

@Thanotos Omega  
Well I think you might be blinded by bias for John Stewart and the Justice League tv series, as if you knew Hal Jordan from more then the most recent movie he is a very interesting and complex character… More then worthy to hold his position as founding member of the Justice League and the first Green Lantern from Earth.

@EquestrianScholar  
I’m familiar with him as being the same as the version of the flash with the helmet, a hasbeen held up as an icon on pure nostalgia despite having no real value to anything beyond a launching point for better characters,

@Thanotos Omega  
this one?  

@angrybrony  
Yep first doesn’t mean best,

@Thanotos Omega  
Well my apologizes for such a harsh tone, but buck your option. The fact remains that Hal was the founding member of the Justice League, that there is a rich lore and history to back him.
 
John Stewart is no better, no matter your preference, and your insistance that he is… Well it is worthless.

@Thanotos Omega  
actually i’ve heard people say the samething about Barry Allen in the comics.

@Thanotos Omega
 
@angrybrony
 
funny you mention Jay Garrick because there’s a minor commotion about him because of the flash TV series.

@angrybrony
 
Actually, the stuff between Bruce and Natasha DID happen in the comics.

@Jarkes  
were?

@angrybrony
 
Wait, never mind; I was misremembering some of the info on the TV Tropes pages for Age of Ultron. The page just said that Natasha had had romantic relationships with “many” members of the team in the comics, but didn’t mention Bruce specifically.
