The article suggests that James Gunn's DCU "Justice Gang" is heavily inspired by the 1980s/1990s DC Comics series "Justice League International" (JLI). While the title "Justice League" is likely reserved for a film featuring core DC heroes like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, a "Justice Gang" project could thrive in the interim, potentially as an HBO Max series due to the JLI's episodic and sitcom-like nature. The article proposes several characters for this team, drawing from the JLI roster, including Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (who are already confirmed to appear in the DCU), Fire and Ice, Mister Miracle and Big Barda, a recasted Shazam, and Martian Manhunter (with Chukwudi Iwuji suggested for the role).J[1]ames Gunn's DCU "Justice Gang" is likely inspired by the 1980s/1990s DC Comics series "Justice League International" (JLI), which featured a team of lesser-known heroes led by Maxwell Lord, similar to the DCU's "Justice Gang" as seen in Peacemaker and Superman.
