I have really enjoyed Justice League so far. Cyborg is a beast. This isn't my favorite of New 52 but a fun book none the less.

I have two problems.
1. for as great as Geoff Johns writes Lanterns, this is the absolute worst portrayal of Hal I've seen and he has some awful lines
2. Wonder Woman is mistreated badly and is given the cheesiest, most awful dialogue in the book

i will stick with it for the rest of the johns run though

The writing is getting a bit annoying now.

I hope that changes when the characters settle into their latest incarnations around #7

I'm sorry, I just don't like these reviews. "Green Lantern is annoying". I know you're trying to avoid spoilers, but can you really not articulate your thoughts by providing an example and then explaining why said example illustrates annoying behavior?

@BackwardGalaxy I've demonstrated in the past with examples. He's the comic relief part of the team, yet his comic relief comes off as annoying than 'relief.'

I'm an English teacher, and if I were to grade you on this review, you'd get a 'C'. I especially love the parts in which you criticize Geoff Johns' writing yet are unable to formulate your thoughts into much more than sweeping generalizations and single-adjective descriptors.

Please see me after class.

Cyborg was in this for a second, it should have been GL Batman and Flash taking the limelight on that cover. And two of them arent even on the cover.

Why did Flash get shafted from this cover...
Overall Ihave been please with the NEW 52, I am a marvel guy overall but I like what I have seen.
Mostly Jusitice League, Green Lantern and Batman

I really like this issue, but mostly just for GL's fight with Darkseid. I like how we see GL's willpower in that he's getting destroyed but not giving up. But Aquaman hasn't done a thing yet and the Batman/Green Lantern scene felt really rushed. I'd give it the same score as you, its good but something big better start next issue.

I'm about to drop this book. I thought it was going to be like his run on the Teen Titans or the stuff he has done on Green Lantern but it seems like he's channeling his inner Michael Bay or something. Now Scott Snyder's Batman issue 5 was phenomenal! I highly urge everyone to check that one out.

I will say. I'm waiting for Cyborg to do something to make him relevant in this title.

Is it just me or does all of DC's new books seem awful short... Just seems something like Amazing Spider-man from Marvel is twice as long compared the new comics they offer....that said if you like action you will like this title.

I thought this one was great! Best line came from GL...
"Bruce Wayne huh?" "Moron is crazier than I am" ROFL AWESOME!!!

And I think they are bringing the dynamics of them as a team VERY well. Great character development. Each issue is someone new. Nice to read JL and not have it solely about Supes. This one did a great job building Bats as someone that can reach the team. If you are a JL fan I think this is a must read.

@GODDAMNSUPERGUY---Wouldn't say GL is leader. Bats plan, he just executed it. And the way it ends I think you will be happy with next months issue.

It seems to me the characters in the book are acting like one would expect if they are suppose to be young and a little green. Anyone who has ever been on a team of anything knows that it is kind of a mess in the begining. It takes time for people to grow. We all think we know everything when we are young. Its not till later you find out other people are right sometimes to.

Sure, Batman would reveal his secret identity.

Poor dialogue, poor story. Darkseid turned into a brute. What could I hope from the guy who turned Starro into another humanoid universe conquerer?

I think Issue #5 is a classic setup issue. I think big things will happen in #6 especially with Batman trying to save Superman. I think issue #6 is when everyone will witness the true power and moral example of Supes, he will be unleashed and become the leader we all know he is destined to become.

@ SteveRogerSon

I agree with you totally worse still was one minute the league is standing in front of Darkseid then Gl attacks by himself gets thrashed then its just him and Batman who tells him to regroup with the others - what happened to them.

And isn't Trusting Batman adorable! Knowing that Green Lantern can't keep a secret, as seen earlier with the Flash, he just reveals himself and leaves his cape and cowl behind. I don't see how they would have hindered him in any way.

Green Lantern's response was also just dumb who talks like that? It should have just devolved into chaos

Batman: My Name is Bruce Wayne
GL: Who the hell is Bruce Wayne?
Batman: .....ummm Batman?!
GL: Who the hell is Batman?
Batman: Has anyone seen the rest of the League

This book and Teen titans... stuff just happens because it must forget logic

@SteveRogersSon In my opinion, the story itself is still solid, the action/scope is huge, and the art is stellar. But now the writing is getting to me, hence the 8/10 rating instead of the 9/10.
