Because that's when they were most relevant.
WW2= kino
Because fanboys don’t like change.
What are the other options here?
We’ve had other wars since WW2, dude.
None that we're proud of.
Yes goy, America is an evil expansionist empire for its entire history except 1943-1945
>America is an evil expansionist empire including 1943-1945
Fixed
Most of those were fake and gay to varying degrees.
Fake war that allows for time sliding. (Ala Punisher).
WW2 works fine though since most of them are forgotten, retired, immortal, or have time dickery going on.
Why don't writer's just do away with sliding timelines?
Because Batman and Superman are brands that are meant to last forever. They’ll outlive us all. Retiring them would be stupid when they still have movies, merch and games based on them.
But then you wouldn't have this fun pseduo-history where Superheroes actually do affect society.
The JSA being tried to WW2 is the opposite of the sliding timeline. Sliding timeline is how Superman and Batman always came on the scene “ten years ago.”
But the thing is as Batman and Superman move through the years they create more bit characters that you can populate the decades with.
continuity is law and permanently retiring a superhero is a big no-no.
So just have time progress extremely slowly and keep the stories in the past. No need to slide the timeline if you do that.
What benefit does that do though?
Because DC are morons.
NO ONE but DC themselves associates the JSA with WWII.
>fanboys
you mean real fans that actually read comicbooks?
do you want them in Nam?, that would make the whole thing and even bigger disaster
Half of the characters in this drawing didn't exist before 1980. Anyway, remember when Alan was Sentinel? No you fricking don't.
Of course I do moron, I purposefully used this image because it includes the Infinitors, the JSA being tied to WW2 fricks them over too.
Logic dictates that in 17 years, they’ll have no choice but to change the JSA and other Golden age origins away from World War II.
The war will be a hundred years old and no matter what weird stuff they can still try to impose, they can’t stretching the characters ages longer and longer.
Marvel will have the same problems with Magneto.
Captain America is fine due to the frozen in ice Silver age Origin.
>Logic dictates that in 17 years, they’ll have no choice but to change the JSA and other Golden age origins away from World War II.
Why would they? They were octogenarians in 2006 and were still in fighting evil. Is that gonna more unbelievable if you say they 100 or older, knowing a writer can find a dozen ways to handwave away that fact.
>The war will be a hundred years old and no matter what weird stuff they can still try to impose, they can’t stretching the characters ages longer and longer
Who's gonna stop them? If Rex the Wonder Dog can drink from the Fountain of Youth then who are you to say no?
The trio of Alan, Ted and Jay are practically immortal so that won't be a problem for them. The rest of the JSA are all descendants and we can easily just move them down a generation or two as time passes. I don't think it's a big deal at all.
>Marvel will have the same problems with Magneto.
Well then its timr to ice him then
>, they can’t stretching the characters ages longer and longer.
Why do you fricks keep thinking the entire modern JSA was around for WW2. Literally only Alan, Jay, and Ted are left and they've been given individual reasons as why they are still alive. Everybody else is a descendant, reincarnated, or dead.
It’s not that. It’s because the timeline for the original being around since 1941 keeps stretching and stretching. As when most of them are killed by Extant, that’s still on the sliding time scale from a few years ago, while their debut still ties them to the early 20th century.
For the handful of people actually from WWII still left you can easily come up with excuses. I mean Alan's got enough magic running through him to give his daughter GL powers, that's been a thing for decades now. The real issue is for those like Jade who are family. They need to be active prior to Superman, which gets some people underwear in a bunch, or they just kind of sat around not doing the hero thing till "ten years ago."
Justice Society used to be the 99% white men team of comics.
Now it’s the opposite:
PoC: Mr Terrific, Jakeem Thunder, Dr Fate
Women: Wildcat, Dr Midnite, Jade, the Boom, Hawkgirl, Powergirl, Stargirl, Cyclone, huntress, Jesse Quick
Gay: Obsidian, Alan Scott
israeli: Atom Smasher
White straight men: Hourman, Jay, Garrick, Sand
I love it!!!
Female legacies still needed for Sandman, Hourman, the Atom, Mr Terrific.
In order to complete my coomer list.
Well for Mr.Terrific there is alternate earth Paula Holt.
Don’t forget that the villain Roulette is the grandniece of the Golden Age Mr Terrific
Anyone remembers when JSA had two ongoings in late 2010 and early 2011?
They had two ongoings in the mid to late 00s too.
Remember when they changed them to be all modern people and it sucked as soon as Robinson left the title?
Did they even actually deal with WW2 in the golden age?
because it's cool and makes them unique to the Dawn of the Modern Superhero era of shit.
give excuses for the old-timers to stay alive: Alan = Stearheart/Green Flame; Jay = Speedforce ain't gotta 'splain sheeeit; Ted = nine lives bullshit; Any Houseman = in the frickin name--comics that shit; Hackman = reincarnation bullshit; Any Dr. Fate = Helm of Nabu/legacy; Jade/Obsidian = Alan's excuse.
They tried to sever ties in Nu52, and it was mad ghey.
Do you wanna be a gay-ass homosexual, Anon, like back in the schoolyard?
What a stupid question.
