How come Morrison seems to have been the only Justice League

How come Morrison seems to have been the only Justice League writer not intimidated by writing the cast at full power?

As far as I can tell there really isn't any nerfing or jobbing in any of Morrison's run. Superman is practically Silver Age powerful, Batman is Batgod, Aquaman's not a joke at all, Flash is a monster. Yet Morrison seems to handle it all with ease, and manages to give the League threat after threat, crisis after crisis, that's actually worthy of their enormous power.

Is it really that hard a balance to strike?

But it had no character development

>>82785263
The league doesent need character development

>>82787711
this

>>82785056
Because Morrison actually likes all the characters and is not afraid to have them at full potential.

He also realizes that superhero comics are about heroes pulling off incredible and absurd stunts so he has no problem in writing a Batgod or all the other things you said.

I suck Morrison's dick a little too much, but really, this is why.

>Superman is practically Silver Age powerful
You need to read Silver Age before making that claim faggot.

Does that mean aquaman auctualy gets to do stuff in the league

Sounds interesting when was his run.
>>
>>82787938
Yeah it was dope.

JLA volume 3, 01-41
>>
>>82787938
Not really. He's just there.
>>
>>82787938
yeah, he mindrapes a white martian and holds off two members of the Crime Syndicate by himself
>>
>>82788020
He gave one guy seizures by control the portion of his brain that he inherited from his aquatic ancestry.

he got some badass moments.
>>
>>82787938

>>82788517
I really don't like this aquaman costume though aquaman needs his armor shirt
>>
>>82788535
Oh I dident even notice the arm at first
>>
>>82788554
Well that's odd I got up to page 59 and then it's all just black for the rest of the volume must not have downloaded right
>>
>>82787711
correct
>>
>>82787711
That's why SS>>>>JL
>>
>>82788723
Eh, I really wouldn't compare the two books, man. They're really striving for two different roles/goals.

Not to mention Suicide Squad only has like one good run.
>>
>>82788672
Ah excellent deleted and redownloaded it again and its fine now not ideal with my limited bandwidth but oh well back to reading
>>
>>82788865
>Not to mention Suicide Squad only has like one good run.
Honestly, Suicide Squad only WORKED as a run during the 80's.
Without the Cold War as a backdrop and a general embarrassingly lacking grasp most modern comics writers have of current events there's really no reason for them to exist as Batman points out himself near the end of Ostrander's run.
Now the actual "enemies of America" are guys we don't need to use shady black ops teams to fight because pretty much everyone can agree they need to be put down, and the big nations that we ARE opposed to we fight with on levels where a couple of really clever bankers and trade agreements end up doing more damage then some deniable assets unit could.
>>
>>82788902
Wait what the fuck happened to Supermans colors
This should be interesting
>>
>>82789181
I'm glad to see that amazo was apparently before this run started so is unlikely to show up fuck amazo
>>
>>82785056

Because you have to come up with some ridiculously overpowered villains to match up with them. I remember the Key being on the verge of wiping out all of existence by trapping the league in their sleep.

So what you ended up with were immortal keikaku masters that could destroy planets with their fists.
>>
why would a middle aged failure worry about power levels when he's high as shit the whole time
>>
>>82789876
How is he a failure?
>>
>>82785263
Who cares? It's a team book. Plus any character development would be erased anyway.
