Justice League's 'Silly' Era Tackled Heavy Topics So DC Could Evolve
One of finest iterations of the Justice League in DC Comics is the Justice League International. The original team was comprised of Batman, Martian Manhunter, Doctor Fate, Captain Marvel (Shazam), Black Canary, Oberon, Doctor Light, Green Lantern (Guy Gardner), Blue Beetle, and Mister Miracle, later expanding to welcome heroes like Fire, Ice, Booster Gold, Big Barda, Kilowog, Captain Atom, Rocket Red, and many more. And while Justice League International has a reputation of being DC's «joke team,» due to the humorous tone of their series, the JLI handled pertinent topics of the 1980s such as workplace sexism and gender roles in an upfront manner.
