let me know what you think of this idea

how might justice league have gone over with the fanbase if it was made clear from the very beginning early on that the 7 original founding members of the justice league had formed the justice league due to their drawing inspiration from the historical past exploits and the lives of the original members of the justice society?


how might things have played out over time timeline wise between the season 1 episodes legends and the savage time if the 2 part Legends storyline had actually played out as a straight time travel storyline?

these are just my thoughts on the matter but i think legends could have been better storyline wise if the flash had instead accidentally sent himself hawkgirl, green lantern and john jones into the past to the 1950's where they would actually have met the golden age era justice society members black canary, the atom, the flash, the green lantern, doctor fate, hourman and wildcat

but with the twist on this rather epic time travel storyline being that the justice society members the atom, wildcat, green lantern, the flash and black canary would all clearly remember having met the 4 jla members in a earlier point in time in the past during world war 2

basicly this part of the storyline would have clearly implied a predestination time travel loop and could be explained away do to the fact that in this version of the savage time storyline hawkgirl, green lantern, the flash, and john jones had either saved the life of each of those 5 persons before any of them would go on to become members of the justice society during world war 2 or had left a positive lasting impression on each of them which had over time in the long term inspired each of them to become the hero's and heroin that the 5 would become over time by the time the 4 jla members meet up with them for the first time in the legends

but with the events in legends happening later on time wise due to the savage time taking place during the early to mid 1940's and legend taking place during the 1950's

in its way if legends and the savage time had played out as two time trave l storylines like that it would have implied that the justice league had both inspired the existance of the justice society with the justice society having also inspired the seven founding heros to form the justice league in the first place and at the same time would have served as a epic predestination time travel loop twist to a already epic jsa storyline for the dcau


to me at least that sounds like a storyline worthy of the late great gardner fox himself

They actually wanted to use various Golden Age heroes, but for whatever reason DC wouldn't let them, so they went the Watchmen route and instead used similar-but-not-quite versions. I think what they eventually went with (Alternate universe obliterated by nuclear war and run by an Akira knock-off) was better.
