Stargirl’s Justice Society of America: A Quick Overview

August 4, 2020 By Paula Leave a Comment

The Justice Society of America (JSA) is a central element in the new teenage superhero drama, Stargirl by DC Comics. If you’ve never picked up a comic book, the JSA might be a bit unfamiliar to you. So here’s a quick recap…

The Justice Society of America (JSA) is a central element in the new teenage superhero drama, Stargirl by DC Comics. If you’ve never picked up a comic book, the JSA might be a bit unfamiliar to you. So here’s a quick recap…

Most of the JSA heroes actually date back as far as the 1930s. In fact, heroes like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman were all members of the team back then.

The Society Is Formed

The Golden Age of Comic Books is defined as the earliest years of popularity for the medium. DC Comics, a prominent early name in the industry, enjoyed much success with characters like Superman, Batman, Flash and Green Lantern. Bringing these heroes together under one comic seemed like the right idea, so in All Star Comics #3 (1940), the Justice Society of America made its first appearance.

The team originally included heroes who didn’t have their own individual comics like Hour-Man, the Atom, Hawkman and Doctor Fate. Eventually, Superman and Wonder Woman would join the team regularly.  

The characters of the Justice Society were wildly popular in comics set during World War II and were said to be a source of inspiration to soldiers overseas and children back home. By the 1950s, America lost its fascination with superheroes and the Justice Society gradually fell into obscurity. DC Comics would see a resurgence in the early 1960s when the Silver Age of Comic Books began. During this period, characters like Green Lantern and Flash were reimagined with new identities and origins to match the times. This led to the birth of the Justice League of America. 

A Tale of Two Earths: JSA Versus JLA

DC Comics had an interesting problem in the 1970s. If Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman all served on the Justice Society during World War II, how were they the same age in the ‘60s and fighting alongside the JLA? To explain this, DC introduced the concepts of Earth-1 and Earth-2. This meant there were two versions of Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Diana Prince and so on. On Earth-2, the heroes were the versions introduced in the ‘30s, while Earth-1 revolved around the heroes of the 1960s.

Though the characters would go through a number of bizarre changes and editorial mandates over the years, the Justice Society would not see true popularity again until the late ‘90s. Geoff Johns, the executive producer of Stargirl, joined with writers like James Robinson, Paul Levitz, and David Goyer to release the comic JSA. A smash hit from the first issue, JSA involved a mix of the original and legacy members like Stargirl as they faced an array of problems, villains and events. 

The Justice Society of America (JSA) is a central element in the new teenage superhero drama, Stargirl by DC Comics. If you’ve never picked up a comic book, the JSA might be a bit unfamiliar to you. So here’s a quick recap…

The JSA and Stargirl

Though Stargirl did not appear during the first 70 years of the Justice Society, she became a fixture on the team from 1999 until the present day. The show Stargirl opens with the supposed deaths of the Justice Society, specifically the hero known as Starman. Ten years later, a young Courtney Whitmore discovers she might be Starman’s daughter. This leads Whitmore to uncover certain truths about her family, her town and herself. The show follows Whitmore, played by Brec Bassinger, as she attempts to reform the Justice Society with new members. 

Today, though the history of the Justice Society of America dates back almost a century, the story of heroism is still reaching an enthusiastic and loyal audience. Hop into Stargirl by streaming it on CW or DCU and learn more about the legacies of these remarkable characters.

BATMAN TAKES A VACATION?
THE JUSTICE LEAGUE DISCOVERS THE DIFFICULTY IN
KEEPING GOTHAM CITY CRIME-FREE AS
WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT
AND THE LEGO GROUP RELEASE
 
 
LEGO DC COMICS SUPER HEROES –

 

JUSTICE LEAGUE: GOTHAM CITY BREAKOUT
 
ON BLU-RAY COMBO PACK, DVD & DIGITAL HD
TODAY! JULY 12, 2016
 
All New Original Movie Includes Exclusive LEGO Nightwing Figurine!
 
BURBANK, CA (April 14, 2016) – Fighting crime is a full-time job and Batman NEVER takes a vacation. That is until he finally agrees to let Batgirl and Nightwing take him on a long overdue trip – leaving Gotham City under the watchful eye of the Justice League in LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC Entertainment, and the LEGO Group, the film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on July 12, 2016, on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, and Digital HD. The Blu-ray and DVD releases will include an exclusive Nightwing LEGO® figurine, while supplies last.
 
 
LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack for $24.98 SRP and DVD for $19.98 SRP.  The Blu-ray Combo Pack includes a digital version of the movie on Digital HD with UltraViolet. Fans can also own LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout on Digital HD on June 21, 2016 via purchase from digital retailers.
 
When Batgirl and Nightwing take Batman on a trip down memory lane – literally – to visit one of the key mentors from his formative years, it’s up to the Justice League to keep Gotham City crime-free. But neither situation proves to be a vacation as the Bat trio encounters old nemeses on their adventure, and the Justice League discovers just how busy Batman is on a regular basis. It’s a brick-tastic battle on two fronts as Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing take on Bane and Deathstroke, while the Justice League – with some help from a few Teen Titans – fends off an assault by many of Batman’s infamous adversaries to ensure Gotham City’s safety.
 
Modern Family star Sarah Hyland joins the cast of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout as the voice of Batgirl alongside some of the top actors in the industry voicing a quartet of Justice League superheroes: Troy Baker (Batman), Nolan North (Superman), Grey Griffin (Wonder Woman), and Khary Payton (Cyborg). Eric Bauza (Bane), John DiMaggio (Deathstroke), Tom Kenny (Penguin), Jason Spisak (Joker), Tara Strong (Harley Quinn), and Vanessa Marshall (Poison Ivy) comprise the rogues’ gallery of villains that Batman and the Justice League must confront. The Teen Titans also join the fray, vocally represented by Will Friedle (Nightwing), Greg Cipes (Beast Boy), Scott Menville (Robin), and Hynden Walch (Starfire). Amy Hill adds to the fun as the voice of Madame Mantis.
 
LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout is directed by Matt Peters and Mel Zwyer from a script by Jim Krieg. Sam Register, Jill Wilfert, and Jason Cosler are executive producers. Benjamin Melniker & Michael Uslan are co-executive producers, and Brandon Vietti is supervising producer.
 


My Thoughts about Justice League: Gotham City Breakout:

With over an hour of crime fighting and fun both my grandson and nephew were in Lego heaven. They both loved the Lego Nexo Knights and were ecstatic to watch another great action packed movie featuring one of their favorite toys, LEGOS! As they watched and fought crime right along with this DVD they were superheroes in their minds. After all, how could they not be immersed – it is from one of the best sources of home entertainment, Warner Brothers (WBHE). The music and choreography is everything that we expected it to be. If you have a little one that is a fan of Legos or any of the many DC Comic characters that make an appearance in this DVD this is a must-have for your collection. I sent my copy home with daughter-in-law so that our other grandchildren will be to watch and enjoy it also.
