As with the Justice Society, the postulate of the Justice League was simple : to include all of DC's most well liked characters in one book ( therefore the first lineup included Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Wonder girl ). Three of DC's other surviving or revived characters, Green Arrow, Atom, and Hawkman were quickly added to the roster, the latter two having been reintroduced by Gardner Fox himself. JLA's early success was indirectly responsible for the creation of the fantastic Four.
Having successfully reintroduced a number of their golden period superhero characters ( Flash, Green Lantern, for example. ) during the late 1950s, DC Comics asked writer Gardner Fox to reintroduce the Justice Society of America. Fox, influenced by the popularity of the national Football League and Major League Baseball, decided to change the name of the team from Justice Society to Justice League.[1] The Justice League of America debuted in The Brave and the Bold twenty-eight ( 1960 ), and quickly became one of the organization's top selling titles. Fox wrote just about all of the League's adventures during the 1960s, and artist Mike Sekowsky penciled the first 5 years.
