Talk:List of Justice Society of America members

message: Please cite the comic in which Hawkgirl is explicitly referenced as a retconned member. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.88.251.243 (talk • contribs) 
: 1) Hawkgirl was introduced as a member in Justice Society of America v2 # 1. On Nov 1998, in the DC Comics Board, David Goyer told that DC position is that Hawkgirl was retconned into the Golden Age team at some point. We have just never seen it. 2) Superman and Batman weren't founding members as per DC Comics Encyclopedia. 3) Please, do not forget to sign your comments. —Lesfer (talk/@) 02:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: So we should follow what came first, which is All Star Comics #3, right? Superman and Batman are not full participants in there. Actually they're only mentioned as honorary members. DC Special #29 may have been written before COIE, but  is still a retcon. —Lesfer (talk/@) 05:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

text: So how do you explain both being mentioned as honorary members in 1940 and founding members in 1977? It looks pretty much like a retcon to me. —Lesfer (talk/@) 16:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I want to understand. You said that "Superman and Batman were known (somehow) to be quite explicitly affiliated with the JSA prior to the events of All-Star #3." Somehow? And how is that? Later you state that they "helped found the team, then went honorary in short order". Where do we see that happening? And what "mysterious unanswered question" have DC Special #29 answered? —Lesfer (talk/@) 17:09, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't Black Adam's JSA be added to the memmbers page? Titans East is a Rogue Titans team and they are on the Teen Titans Members Page.
:Titans East and Terminator call themselves "Titans East". Black Adam's team does not have a name and would never call themselves "Justice Society of America". —Lesfer (t/c/@) 17:17, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Black Adam's JSA

message: For when it invariably goes back up, the "role call" from JLofA #8 includes the Tom Grant Wildcat on the JSA roster. And it does so without tagging him as a "guest". By that he is being presented as a member, and his joining happened between JSofA #4 and JLofA #8. - J Greb 06:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So we should just "assume" that? Just when Johns is reforming the team he just wouldn't show a new member joining? Then we simply "assume" again when concerning Geo-Force and JLA? 201.53.9.90 13:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wildcat (Tom Grant) 

message: Shouldn't we update this page for the New 52 reboot? I realize that the Earth-2 series just started and the JSA's status is uncertain. But if nothing else, the bolded characters on this page are no longer current members. Should this be left alone until we get a better feel for the team's new status quo?

thread_title:  The New 52 

message: I've updated the page with the characters' status in DC Rebirth. Many of the originals have been reintroduced and more are likely on the way. As such, this page is a mess of multiple continuities but there's not much we can do about that for now. When and if we get the original JSA back, I would vote to split the Earth-2 versions to a separate section.
Also, I question the inclusion of the Arrowverse members. That's an adaptation of the JSA in other media, it has nothing to do with the comic book. I'd vote to delete that section entirely. What do others think? Rajah1 (talk) 02:36, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rebirth and Arrowverse questions 

message: I removed the duplicate characters from the Rebirth section. The page was a mess of multiple continuities. Members only need to be listed once, regardless of how many times DC reboots their universe. I moved the World Army/Earth-2 characters to an Alternate Versions section since they're not members of the main universe JSA. And I removed the bolding of current members' names. Do we need this? Superhero team lineups change so often, this would require frequent edits to keep it up to date.
I also question whether we need the In Other Media versions. It makes the page very long and confusing, again due to multiple continuities. And the notes for the Arrowverse section seem unnecessarily long. My preference would be to limit this page to just the main comics version of the JSA. Or at the very least to delete most of the unnecessary notes from the Other Media section. Rajah1 (talk) 16:36, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
