Get Ready For All New Villians In Justice League

Bryan Hitch recently launched Justice League Rebirth #1, which reunites the team with Superman, though not the Superman they've come to know.

Superman won't be the only thing new to the team in Hitch's run. The Writer and Artist told DC All Access recently that in his Justice League, fans can expect all new villains to set the tone.

"Well they're all going to be new, you know because we've got the core characters, we've got the two Green Lanterns, we've got Superman, Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, um, I'm going to do what I started, what I intended to do had I stayed on a longer JLA run which is just all new villains. You may see classic villains, but they won't be the villains of the piece because with them you kind of know what to expect because you've seen it before, and though those may play into the larger story themes and the story ideas, but springing new stuff on people is a lot more fun. That's when I read comics, it was all new."

In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Hitch elaborated on the book's mission statement, and how it has changed now that he is on Justice League for the long haul.

"If anything, it's only become bigger. Justice League is more a flagship title in the current DCU and so carries a little more consequence than JLA did in the way it effects the rest of the line. The important distinction between the two is the understanding that Justice League is the only place in the DCU that all those characters share time together.

As such it will instrumental in defining just what those relationships are and who the work across the line. But also, given a much longer planned commitment there's a chance to play with much broader long-form storytelling and the chance to shape how that effects the big picture at DC

And it really does. Big time!"

Justice League Rebirth #1 is in stores now.
