I like Geoff Johns, as every author he have his favorite and his weak link, but in general i like it more than i hate what he produce
I've been having this conversation a lot on Twitter recently and, in my opinion, if you're going to have the JLA and the JSA in the same continuity, then the JSA need to be failures. Blinded by their bigotries and their incompetence, with messed-up personal lives and either working with an unjust government or turning a blind eye to the harm that government causes because it's "not their fight."
Also the JSA was founded eighty years ago, the legacy aspect actually works even better now because they clearly aged out and the modern heroes replaced them (and its been stated occasionally there were heroes in between). Outside of the real cesspits conventional crime does seem lower in the DCU even before Superman so they probably did make things better for a while. Then a new generation of super criminals appeared (Lex at least was doing evil years before Clark appeared) and new heroes rose to oppose them. The JSA weren't failures but history teaches us you can't wipe out crime and evil and leave it at that. Sooner or later it comes back and a new generation fights to stop it again.Ehm sorry, but they are the JSA not characters in watchmen or the ultimate universe; personally i will hate such characterization, frankly i like them the way they are and not as reject of the dork age of comics

I love that Elseworld story and learning that it was originally intended to be canon OTL I hope they make it canon ITTL.Plus the JSA have his exploit in WWII as there were a lot of battle between nazi and allied metahuman (pre-crisis Spectre even destroyed a German fleet ready to invade the UK). They are the past generation, the first generation of costumed heroes and it's natural that many of the heroes that had followed them have been inspired; seem much more natural for Clark and Bruce to don their costume if others have done before, not even talking about Flash II (Barry Allen) that take the name from the past hero to honor his legacy.
For me one of the best depiction of the golden age generation of heroes is in the Elseword Golden Age (that was initially intented as canon) that depict them as somewhat flawed but still well meaning and good individual that want make the world better and have been very efficient at beating the nazi
Probably not in that form. An animated series on MTV? Maybe...Any chance of this getting picked up as a series even if it's just one season:
Generation X (film) - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Unfortunately not, but the game was not a particularly memorable one either.Did Beast feature as a playable character in Marvel Super Heroes: Infinity War?
If not then Alt timeline me would not be interested....
One thing I hope comes out of that is a teen oriented animation block there, while Nickelodeon pushes for the Elementary-Middle School demographic.Probably not in that form. An animated series on MTV? Maybe...
Done in the same animation style of Aeon Flux?Probably not in that form. An animated series on MTV? Maybe...
