'''Justice League International''' ('''JLI''') is a superhero team appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics that succeeded the original Justice League from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. The team enjoyed several comic books runs, the first being written by Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis, with art by Kevin Maguire, created in 1987.<ref>{{cite book|last=Manning|first= Matthew K.|editor-last = Dolan|editor-first = Hannah|chapter= 1980s|title = DC Comics Year By Year A Visual Chronicle|publisher=Dorling Kindersley |year=2010 |isbn= 978-0-7566-6742-9 |page= 228 |quote = It was clear that the [Justice League] needed a major overhaul. But no one quite expected how drastic the transformation would truly be in the hands of writers Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis and artist Kevin Maguire.}}</ref> Due to editorial conflicts, the team's new makeup was based largely on newer characters, such as Booster Gold, and recent acquisitions from other comic book companies, such as Blue Beetle.

In 2010 and 2011, the team experienced a resurgence as part of the ''Blackest Night'' and ''New 52'' comic runs.

==Publication history== Following the events of the company-wide crossovers ''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' and ''Legends'', Justice League of America writer J. M. DeMatteis was paired with writer Keith Giffen and artist Kevin Maguire on a new Justice League series. However, at the time, most of the core Justice League characters were unavailable. Superman was limited to John Byrne's reboot, George Pérez was relaunching Wonder Woman and Mike Baron was launching the Wally West version of the Flash.

As a result, the initial team consisted of: * Batman: Series editor Dennis O'Neil, taking pity on the new creative team, allowed Batman to be used in the series.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Darius |first=Julian |date=October 15, 2012 |title=On the First Year of Keith Giffen and J.M.

His wife, Big Barda, and friend, Oberon, are also associated with the League.

The resulting comedic tone was Giffen's idea, introducing new characterizations to old characters: Guy Gardner was now a loutish hothead, Booster Gold was greedier and more inept than he had been in Dan Jurgens' series and Captain Marvel displayed a childlike personality.

When Black Canary resigns, Green Flame and Ice Maiden (both from the Global Guardians) join.<ref name="dc-ency">{{Cite book|last = Jimenez|first = Phil|author-link = Phil Jimenez|contribution = Fire|editor-last = Dougall| editor-first = Alastair|title = The DC Comics Encyclopedia|page = 121|publisher = Dorling Kindersley|place = New York|year = 2008|isbn = 978-0-7566-4119-1|oclc = 213309017}}</ref><ref>''Justice League International'' #14</ref> They eventually change their names to Fire and Ice and become long standing members within the team.

The series was nominated as "Best New Series" in 1988 by the Harvey Awards, but lost to Paul Chadwick's ''Concrete''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1988 Harvey Award Nominees and Winners |url=http://www.hahnlibrary.net/comics/awards/harvey88.php |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080712202956/http://www.hahnlibrary.net/comics/awards/harvey88.php |archive-date=July 12, 2008 |access-date=March 2, 2017 |website=hahnlibrary.net}}</ref> It also featured Adam Hughes' first work for a major comic book publisher.

Earth is attacked by a mysterious satellite and the League travels into space. Miracle recognizes it as a modified device from New Genesis and neutralizes it. They return home as heroes. Maxwell Lord introduces a proposal to get United Nations funding and they are given sponsorship in exchange for government regulation. This plan allows them to act as an independent city-state with worldwide embassies. Captain Atom and Rocket Red #7 are added to the team by the United States and Russia, respectively. Captain Marvel and Doctor Fate quit the team for personal reasons; Batman steps down as leader, appointing Martian Manhunter to replace him. They are reintroduced to the world as Justice League International.<ref>''Justice League International'' #7</ref> Despite a series of embarrassing accidents, they successfully move in to embassies around the world. This includes Moscow, New York City, and Paris.

With issue #7, the series was renamed ''Justice League International'' to reflect the team's new international status. The name change spawned the term "JLI", which is used when referring to this period in Justice League history. The series was again renamed following the launch of ''Justice League Europe'' in 1989. The series was known as ''Justice League America'' until its cancellation in 1996.

==="Justice League: Breakdowns"=== "Breakdowns" was a 16-issue crossover between the ''Justice League America'' (#53–60) and ''Justice League Europe'' (#29–36) titles, changing the tone of both series from a humorous one to a more serious one. After it, the creative teams of both series changed. The major events that occurred were the following:

* Maxwell Lord is initially in a coma from a failed assassination attempt. He is later possessed by JLE foe Dreamslayer of the Extremists. Lord loses his powers following the events of "Breakdowns". * Queen Bee, ruler of the country Bialya, is killed in a coup d'état led by Sumaan Harjavti, the twin brother of Rumaan Harjavti. * Despero awakens and escapes Manga Khan's starship to wreak havoc on New York City, seeking vengeance against the Justice League. A force of the Justice League's best (Martian Manhunter, Power Girl, Fire, Rocket Red, Metamorpho, the Flash, Guy Gardner, Major Disaster), along with the Conglomerate (led by Booster Gold) and Lobo, were unable to stop him. Kilowog and L-Ron subdue Despero by transferring L-Ron's consciousness into Despero's body. * While possessing Maxwell Lord, Dreamslayer kidnaps and later murders Mitch Wacky on the island of Kooey Kooey Kooey, where Blue Beetle and Booster Gold previously attempted to open a resort called "Club JLI". Using Lord's persona, Dreamslayer lures a large portion of the Justice League to the island and takes control of them, making them the "new Extremists". * The Silver Sorceress, one of the former Champions of Angor and a Justice League member, dies defeating Dreamslayer and is buried on Kooey Kooey Kooey. * The United Nations withdraws its support from the Justice League and it disbands. Martian Manhunter seemingly takes a leave of absence, although he later re-emerges under the persona of Bloodwynd.

===Expansion=== [[File:JLI.jpg|thumb|right|180px|The Justice League gets a larger roster as seen in ''Justice League International'' #24 (February 1989), cover art by Kevin Maguire and Josef Rubinstein.]]

''Justice League International'' was renamed ''Justice League America''. The franchise expanded from the early to mid-1990s by adding severall Spin offs. These included: ''Justice League Europe'', ''Justice League Task Force'', ''Extreme Justice'' and ''Justice League Quarterly''. ''Justice League Europe'' was later retitled to become the second volume of ''Justice League International''.

In the latter part of the series, more recognizable characters, including Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Aquaman, joined, followed by lesser known characters such as Bloodwynd, Maya, Maxima, Nuklon, Obsidian, Tasmanian Devil, and Triumph. Longtime JLI-era characters such as Captain Atom, Martian Manhunter, and Power Girl were revised and revamped.

By 1996, with the commercial success of the series fading, each of the titles was eventually cancelled.

===Miniseries=== In 2003, Giffen, DeMatteis, and Maguire reunited for the six-issue miniseries ''Formerly Known as the Justice League''. This depicted Maxwell Lord trying to get the gang back together as ''The Super Buddies'' – a hero-for-hire group that operated out of a strip mall. 2005 saw a second storyline, ''I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League'', by the same creative team published in the pages of ''JLA Classified''. This tale told a story of the characters attempt to rescue Ice from Hell.

===Return=== Following ''Blackest Night'', DC launched two alternating 24-issue bi-weekly comic book miniseries, ''Brightest Day'' and ''Justice League: Generation Lost'', written by Keith Giffen and Judd Winick. This second series features Captain Atom, Booster Gold, the new Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes), Fire, Ice, and a new Rocket Red (Gavril Ivanovich) and essentially saw the return of Justice League International, as explained by Giffen:<ref>{{cite web |last=Rogers |first=Vaneta |date=January 12, 2010 |title=Justice League International Returns in 'Generation Lost' |url=http://www.newsarama.com/comics/justice-league-international-returns-011012.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100115041552/http://www.newsarama.com/comics/justice-league-international-returns-011012.html |archive-date=January 15, 2010 |access-date=January 12, 2010 |website=Newsarama |publisher=}}</ref>

{{cquote|In all of my years in comics, I have never experienced anything like the complete 180 this project took once the brainstorming kicked off. Like I said, when we started the writers' summit, the Justice League... hell, why mince words... Justice League International was not on the table. Then someone, and I really wish I remembered exactly who, stirred the JLI into the mix.}}

Over the course of the series, Power Girl and Batman joined the group as well, with Wonder Woman appearing in the book's final three issues. The title was heavily tied to Winick's run on ''Power Girl'', which had the title character dealing with villains connected to Maxwell Lord's plans in ''Generation Lost'', and eventually had her rejoin Justice League International after a crossover between the two titles. The title also indirectly tied into ''Odyssey'', a storyline published in ''Wonder Woman'' that saw the title character being removed from history with her existence forgotten by most of her fellow heroes. This formed the basis of the book's finale, with the members of the Justice League International racing to track down Wonder Woman before Lord could find her and kill her.<ref>{{cite web |last=Rogers |first=Vaneta |date=March 23, 2011 |title=Generation Lost: Judd Winick: The Future of Max Lord & the Gen Lost Gang |url=http://www.newsarama.com/comics/judd-winick-generation-lost-2-110323.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110326224012/http://www.newsarama.com/comics/judd-winick-generation-lost-2-110323.html |archive-date=March 26, 2011 |access-date= |website=Newsarama}}</ref> Plot threads from ''Kingdom Come'' and ''The OMAC Project'' also appeared.

''Generation Lost'' ended with a teaser that a new ''Justice League International'' series from The New 52 would be coming in a few months (with Booster Gold as leader).

===''The New 52''===  As part of DC's 2011 ''New 52'' relaunch of all of its monthly books, ''Justice League International'' was relaunched in September 2011, after the conclusion of the ''Flashpoint'' storyline, written by Dan Jurgens and drawn by Aaron Lopresti.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hyde |first=David |date=June 2, 2011 |title=The New Justice |url=http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/06/02/the-new-justice/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605085501/http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/06/02/the-new-justice/ |archive-date=June 5, 2011 |access-date=June 2, 2011 |publisher=DC Comics}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Johnston |first=Rich |author-link=Rich Johnston |date=July 21, 2011 |title=Live From The DC New 52 Panel… Updating |url=http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/07/21/live-from-the-dc-new-52-panel-updating |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120525184634/http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/07/21/live-from-the-dc-new-52-panel-updating |archive-date=May 25, 2012 |access-date= |work=Bleeding Cool |publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url= http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dcnu-take-2-justice-league-international-110817.html |title=The DCnU Take 2: Justice League International |first=Vaneta |last=Rogers |date=August 17, 2011 |publisher= | website= Newsarama.com |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120201020057/http://www.newsarama.com/comics/dcnu-take-2-justice-league-international-110817.html |archive-date=February 1, 2012 |url-status=dead |access-date=February 26, 2012}}</ref>

This version of Justice League International is formed by United Nations director Andre Briggs as a UN-controlled counterpart to the original Justice League and is based out of the Hall of Justice. The founding members of the team consist of Booster Gold, Fire, Ice, Rocket Red (Gavril Ivanovich), Green Lantern (Guy Gardner), Vixen, August General in Iron, and Godiva, who are recruited to the team due to having their identities publicly known. Batman is denied membership due to having a secret identity, but is allowed to accompany the group as part of an effort to foster good relations between the JLI and the original Justice League. The team goes on to defeat the Signal Men and the alien conqueror Peraxxus.<ref>''Justice League International'' (vol. 2) #1–6 (September 2011 – March 2012)</ref>

During a press conference outside the Hall of Justice, Rocket Red is killed when a bomb explodes, while Fire, Ice and Vixen are hospitalized and become comatose. This leads Booster Gold to recruit Batwing, OMAC and Firehawk to the team.<ref>''Justice League International'' (vol. 3) #7 (April 2012)</ref>
