Hi, Telle. I just want to point out that [[Steven Snapinn]] was already covered in two entries at Supermanica, [[Steve Snappin]] and [[Little Leaguer]]. That said, I just noticed that your entry is the only one of the three to spell the boy's name correctly! Perhaps the "Steve Snappin" entry should be replaced with your entry with a link to the "Little Leaguer" entry. Alternatively, info from all three could be consolidated under either "Steven Snapinn" or "Little Leaguer". -Dr. Johnny Diablo

And why are you deleting my article?

It was a major event that featured the Pre-Crisis Superman.

It occured within the 1938-1986 period.

It was heavily pivotal to the character.

===Now before you move to delete this article===

I believe that this article is relevant--and probably even neccessary--in that it was this series that spelled the end of the Superman as covered by this site.

Truth be told, I do wish that this site could be expanded to include post-Crisis and alternate media Superman incarnations. However, since this happened WITHIN the continuity and era this site covers, it's a worthy endeavor to explore all of this.

Dick Grayson

'''Richard "Dick" Grayson'''

The adopted ward of millionaire socialite [[Bruce Wayne]] ([[Batman]]) - better known as the Caped Crusader's partner [[Robin]] the Boy Wonder.

The teen-aged boy who is secretly Robin, the inseparable crime-fighting companion of Batman. Dick Grayson is the ward of socialite Bruce Wayne, the man who is secretly Batman (S No. 76, May/Jun 1952: "The Mightiest Team in the World"; and others.) (TGSB)

In the 1980s, Grayson outgrew the Robin identity, passing it to [[Robin (Jason Todd)|Jason Todd]].

Grayson then became [[Nightwing]]. In the pre-Crisis continuity, Grayson's departure from the mantle of Robin was voluntary; in the post-Crisis version, he was fired by Batman after being shot in the leg (non-fatally) by the Joker.
By the end of the 1980s, Jason Todd (whose background varied greatly between the original history and the post-Crisis events) was murdered by the Joker. Superman aided Batman in apprehending the arch-criminal, but shortly thereafter, the Batman fell into an abyss of near-insanity. A young man named Tim Drake, however, helped him back to his normal state and eventually attained the rank of Robin, eventually donning a redesigned costume.

Drake is even more highly regarded in the DC Universe than Grayson was at his age. So much so that in the events of Infinite Crisis, Superman put him in charge of making sure the civilians were all right.

Justice League of America

'''Justice League of America'''

[[Image:Action-Comics-443.gif|thumb|Action Comics No. 443 Jan 1975 Cover art by Nick Cardy]]
A super-team comprised mainly of DC's most popular characters. [[Superman]], [[Batman]], [[Wonder Woman]], [[Aquaman]], [[Martian Manhunter]], [[The Flash]], [[Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)|Green Lantern]], [[Green Arrow]], the [[Atom]], and [[Hawkman]].

The team, inspired by the [[Justice Society of America]] of the Golden Age, was first seen in [[The Brave and the Bold]] #28 in 1960. They soon got their own series.

Superman was a founding member of the team, as was Batman. However, both heroes were kept off the cover of their earliest appearances as editor [[Julius Schwartz]] felt it was more fair for the others to have more of the spotlight.

The original roster consisted of [[Superman]], [[Batman]], [[Wonder Woman]], [[Aquaman]], [[Martian Manhunter]], [[The Flash]], [[Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)|Green Lantern]], and was expanded to include [[Green Arrow]], the [[Atom]], [[Hawkman]] and more.

In 1963, the League teamed up with the Justice Society of America for the first time in issues #21 and 22. This would eventually become a regular occurance. The story was also a predecessor to the classic [[Crisis on Infinite Earths]].

The series inspired the successful [[Super Friends]] cartoon series and the popular [[Super Powers]] toyline. However, in 1984--inspired by the success of [[New Teen Titans]], DC swiftly turned the comic into a series focusing on also-ran DC characters, such as [[Vibe]] and [[Vixen]]. Meanwhile, most of the team's founding members left. This hurt the team severely.

After Crisis on Infinite Earths ran its course, the various backstories of superheroes were altered so that Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman were not founding members of the team. In fact, in the new history, Superman was never a member of the team, and Wonder Woman hadn't even surficed until after the Crisis and her role in the founding of the team was retroactively filled by the [[Black Canary]].

In 1987, the series had a revival. It continued to focus on lesser heroes such as [[Booster Gold]] and [[Dr Light]] (although, by now, Batman had returned as the team's leader). This revival proved short-lived, however.

Superman briefly returned to (or first joined, in modern continuity) the League in 1992, however, this return turned out to be fleeting as Superman was killed by [[Doomsday]] later that year.

Superman finally rejoined the Justice League in 1996. In fact, that year saw the first true all-star roster of the team since the pre-Crisis era.

Recently, however, the Justice League fell apart as a result of recent storylines. Time will tell if a new League will emerge.

The JLA's senses-shattering battles and eventual triumph over evil are truly the stuff of heroic legend.
