I am writing this review after reading the entire series up to issue #29. The artwork is very good in issue #1. The character development held some promise for the series but the flaws seen throughout the series started here: premises that are countered by reality, forced personal conflicts, and new villains that are off-the-wall. On the very first page, Batman states that "People need to see heroes are human" and that "the JLA will show them that". First, I don't know why people need to see heroes as human and, second, the most noticeable and powerful member, Lobo, is a freakin' huge alien biker dude - far from human. Batman makes this statement a few time early in the series which bothered me every time. And going further with Lobo: he could provide a very interesting dynamic, but it never made sense why control-freak Batman wanted an erratic Lobo on the team and why self-serving, homicidal Lobo agreed to be on the team. Just some of the types of things that bothered me with this series.
