The Toronto Star has announced that Canadian Jeff Lemire‘s next project for DC will be Justice League Canada...formerly Justice League America in 2014. The team's new headquarters will be at James Bay and Moosonee in Northern Ontario. The news is expected to be officially announced at the Fan Expo in Toronto later on today. Lemire dismisses any Alpha Flight comparisons to the Star, while revealing a little of what we can expect. “It’s not really like Alpha Flight, as we’re not creating a bunch of very Canadian characters,” says the writer “Like those characters are all almost clichéd Canadian archetypes. This is still very much set in the regular Justice League universe and the team will still have some of the bigger named superheroes, but they will actually be located in Canada now, and there will be a couple of new members who are Canadian. So obviously as a Canadian, and as a Canadian storyteller, it’s something I’m very proud of.” A few new teenage Canadian characters are expected, and, he'll be bringing back Adam Strange too..as a Canadian!

This sucks! First Ben a fleck as batman ,now this? Probably won't pick this comic up anymore. Why would all these characters rooted in the USA up and decide to move out of country and how is that going to effect their singles comics. Does DC even think anymore. Oh I'm Canadian so I'm going to just make all these americans Canadian now. Stick with dudly do right loser!

As a jla fan and a Canadian, I say WTF?

Also Ror... Maple Leaf not Clover leaf. Kind of a big difference.

Wait wait, hold on . . . WHAT? I don't even understand right now. What in the world is going to happen to the JLA post-Trinity War?!

Yes. Let's imitate the Iwo Jima statue/picture/film where American marines had just took Mount Suribachi. It's not like anybody DIED on that hill, right?

This is just insulting. Screw you, DC.

Now Superman can truly stand for, "Truth, Justice and all that other stuff!"

I don't mind including Canada in the universe. I have nothing against Canada.

Why does DC seem so anti-American, though? Just saying. Don't keep biting the hand that feeds you. Don't even seem to bite the hand that feeds you. Go out of the way to ensure the hand that feeds you knows that you appreciate it and would never bite it.

Wow he takes a back hand shot at Alpha Flight "cliched Canadians".

Not really feeling the Iwo Jima imagery here. Jeff, being a Canadian, doesn't get what it means for people in the States. Alot of our Marines died there but hey let's trivilize it for a comic.

I'm Canadian, and this is a stupid idea. Every Canadian knows *anything* Can-Con blows moose-nuts. Benton Fraser is the last (if not most successful) superhero we ever had...

So he makes a mistake and writes clover instead of maple and THAT'S what you guys are focusing on? That like that annoying friggin kid in class that's just dying to catch the teacher in a mistake. I'm pretty sure you all knew what he meant. Besides I like it a whole lot better his way!

Why????!! Canada isn't large enough on the global stage to host it's on superhero team. They would be absorbed into the American team. It makes no sense. Oh and I'm I Canada right now!! Oh the irony

This looks like an April Fools joke...

They should just make a separate series with a new character.
