Summary

• Get ready for Justice League Unlimited, with a new creative team and roster of heroes at the helm.
• This will be the first time Justice League return to DC's main canon in two years since going defunct, which calls into question where that leaves the team who replaced them, the Titans.
• Mark Waid and Dan Mora are expected to evoke the same tone and spirit of their previous collaboration, Batman/Superman: World's Finest.

The future of DC's greatest heroes has been revealed, with Justice League Unlimited officially announced by the publisher. Revealing an all-star creative team, a new roster of Justice League heroes, and the resurrection of an iconic piece of comic book lore. While an Absolute Universe of DC is approaching, this news will be affecting the main canon of the DC Universe that exists outside of Absolute.

The first details have been revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, with the creative team of Mark Waid and Dan Mora (Batman/Superman: World's Finest) promising not only the presence of every DC superhero on the team (in official or unofficial capacity), but the first designs of the brand new Justice League Watchtower restored. Having been blown from Earth's orbit during the days of Infinite Crisis, the planet of Earth of DC's Universe will soon have a clear symbol of hope floating miles above their heads.

An official preview of the Unlimited team shown during DC's "Absolute Power" reveals that the roster will include the following : Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Martian Manhunter, Captain Atom, Black Lightning, and Star Sapphire. Following the team's "death" at the end of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, this will mark the first official return of the eponymous 'Justice League' to current DC.

The Justice League Return, But What About The Titans?

Justice League Unlimited #1 by Dan Mora and Mark Waid

In 2022, DC Comics held an event originally titled Dark Crisis, later adjusted to Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths. The conclusion of the seven-part limited series ends with not a literal death of the Justice League, but a symbolic one. On behalf of the League, Batman announces that the Titans positioned as equals to JLA in that moment, but they immediately became the premiere super-team of the DC Universe.

As exciting as it is to hear news about the Justice League finally returning to DC, it leaves readers to wonder what this return means for the Titans' current status in DC, in the long run. Even if the team does remain as equals, then surely, that still means that only one team can be positioned as the team of DC. Do the Titans keep their spot as DC's premiere team, or will they be taking a backseat to the League? And will any of these implications affect their dynamic in working alongside each other?

Mora & Waid Will Bring 'World's Finest' Greatness To JLU

Expect a Fun, Wholesome Effort That Maintains High Stakes

There remains much to be revealed regarding storytelling elements for the series. Still, if there is one thing certain, it's that Dan Mora and Mark Waid will likely bring the same tone and spirit that made Batman/Superman: World's Finest a worldwide hit. World's Finest has proven to be one of DC's best titles, oftentimes carrying a fun, wholesome vibe without sacrificing high-stakes drama, as seen especially during the Kingdom Come tie-in storyline. Expect the same for their new series.
