It’ll be a larger League says Dan Didio

Details of the Robinson/Bagley League continue to leak out. Newsarama have just had their regular 20 Questions with DCU Monitor Dan Didio and this time he commented on the size of the new JLA

It’s interesting, for Justice League, one of the versions everybody seems to refer to is the time when Len Wein was writing the book. That’s one of the reasons we just recently went back to Len on the series. Everyone seems to refer to his team as a benchmark, from around Issue #100 to #114. And in those days, what you would have is a team somewhere from 14 to 18 members, but you wouldn’t see them all in every issue. You’d see a combination of characters moving in and out depending on the story being told. It wasn’t that people were joining or quitting; it was just focusing on who was participating in an event at a particular time.

That’s some of what James is going to be doing, so the League seems larger than it has been in the past. It doesn’t mean that every single character is going to be in every single issue. But we have expanded the roster to take advantage of former Justice League members, current Titan members, and also characters who will have an important impact on the DC Universe in the very near future. So you really have an interesting mix of characters coming together. And we’ll be revealing them slowly over the next few months as we are building toward Mark Bagley and James Robinson taking over the book with Issue #38.
