    THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA

    Yay, America. Hmm.
    The JLA represented “American” justice, but they certainly ended up in a variety of places where that didn’t mean much. Just how well were they suited to dish out a universal definition of justice?

    Justice is defined as “the concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, fairness, or equity along with the punishment of the breach of said ethics.” Those seven principals correspond nicely to the original 7 members of the Justice League of America. Look!

    Ethics - addressing questions about morality, concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong
    Superman, with his superhuman morals and Kansasian sense of right and wrong, is the poster boy for ethics. Let’s not mention how he’s an illegal alien, OK?

    Rationality - the exercise of reason, the way humans come to conclusions when considering things most deliberately
    Batman, the cold calculating detective. He’s a little bit creepy, but he gets to the point and doesn’t let Superman’s “ethical” stuff fog up his goggles.

    Law - a system of rules, usually enforced through a set of institutions
    Green Lantern, the ultimate space cop, can lay down the law on a cosmic scale.

    Natural Law - a law whose content is set by nature and that therefore holds everywhere
    Aquaman talks to fishes and octopi, so he has this one covered.

    Religion - a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of life and the universe
    Martian Manhunter, the spooky, spectral outsider from a lost civilization has an enlightened perspective that borders on the transcendent.

    Fairness - understanding what is fair within a society
    Wonder Woman can see the big picture after coming from a tightly orchestrated and refined society herself.

    Equity - to have discretion in administering justice in order to rule fairly and without cruelty
    Flash is the everyman, so he’s not about to throw the book at anyone.

    There you go! They might not have gone “International” yet, but the original JLA was ready to dole out some serious justice, wherever they ended up.
