I am a Marvel and DC fan and I have to say that I much more prefer JLA than the Avengers. Not because of the superhumans that make up the team but, how the team appears. What I mean by that is just, The Justice League seem to work better together than The Avengers.
They are all like family, even though they have their ups and downs. The Avengers, I just don't see it. Anyhow, I am pshyched to see the Avengers movie!
That's a great move for Marvel. DC is pretty good with movies than Marvel, so, I think this is an opportunity for them to create either a JLU/JLA movie or as you said (I may have misunderstood), a build up to a JLU/JLA movie. That is, if they found great actors/actresses to play the roles.
I personally prefer the JLA. They totally kick ***.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
