James Gunn's DCU "Justice Gang" team appears to be heavily inspired by the 1980s/90s DC Comics series "Justice League International" (JLI), which featured a League without many of its most famous heroes and was led by Maxwell Lord. While the "Justice League" title is likely reserved for a film with prominent heroes like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, a "Justice Gang" project could thrive in the interim, possibly as an HBO Max series due to the episodic nature of the classic JLI comics. The article suggests that the team could include characters already established in "Superman," such as Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) and Booster Gold, Fire and Ice, Mister Miracle and Big Barda, a recast Shazam, and Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz), who was the field leader of the JLI. Other potential members mentioned are Elongated Man and Rocket Red.
