## Trivia

* In the comics, the original seven Justice League members were Aquaman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Superman and Wonder Woman.
* The Justice League in the DC Extended Universe is the third live-action incarnation of the Justice League as well as the first to appear in live-action film, after the versions seen in the failed 1997 TV pilot and *Smallville*.
* In *Zack Snyder's Justice League*, the team does indeed take the team name of "Justice League" for themselves, as evidenced by their destroyed headquarters shown in the Knightmare future. However, the theatrical version of the film never mentions the name, or any name for the team.
	+ The first known instance of the League being referred to as "Justice League" in-universe, is shown in the tie-in book Shazam!: Freddy's Guide to Super Hero-ing, which includes the newspaper article that showcases Lois Lane's final words from the film *Justice League*, bearing the article title: 'Justice League: Heroes Among Us'.
	+ The first live-action instance of the team being referred to as the "Justice League" is heard in the *Peacemaker* episode *It's Cow or Never*.
* Unlike most versions of the Justice League, this roster is only made up of six members.
	+ This was likely done intentionally to mirror the number of members seen the Marvel Cinematic Universe film *The Avengers.*
	+ Ironically, the promotional art of Aquaman for *Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice* read "Unite the Seven", leading fans to speculate there would be seven members. However, the promo art was referring to the Seven Kingdoms of Atlantis.
* Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Cyborg are the only members of the Justice League known to have any surviving parents. The Flash only lost his mother, but his father has been imprisoned since his childhood, and Batman's parents were murdered when he was 9. Aquaman is a notable exception, as both his parents turn out to be alive and well despite one of them being presumed dead for some time. Superman is also an odd exception, as he's lost both his biological parents, though he was adopted by the Kents.
	+ This represents an ongoing trope with DC Comics, in that their character roster is largely comprised of orphaned heroes.
* The correct members of the Justice League can be counted as the modern version of the original unity that was formed to fight Darkseid in the Invasion of Earth: Diana represents both the Amazons and the Old Gods, Bruce, Barry and Victor represent the different tribes of men, Arthur represents the Atlanteans, and Clark represents the aid from other worlds.
