So the "Justice Guild of America" is a direct reference to "The Justice Society of America," the first ever superhero team in comic book history. In modern DC canon, the Justice Society were a team of superheroes from the 1940s that fought on the side of the Allies in the war, and includes people like the first Human Green Lantern Alan Scott, and the original Flash Jay Garrick.

Thanks for watching JL again so soon!

I love how fast you’re getting through this, my fav episodes are in season 2. And don’t get me started on Unlimited, you’ll love that.

Good reaction! This episode was paying tribute to the OG superhero team, The Justice Society of America. They are DC characters who were introduced in the 1940’s long before The Justice League or The Avengers were created. The Justice Guild of America in the episode are original to the show but are meant to be based/resemble members of The Justice Society because from what I’m aware, the writers for the show couldn’t use the Justice Society so this was their compromise.

so as others have pointed out the justice guild are based on the justice society. Specifically: green guardsmen = alan scott green lantern the streak = jay garrick the flash black siren = black canary catman = wildcat (though there is also a batman villain called catman) tom turbine = the atom likewise the injustice guild are also based on the injustice society: dr blizzard = the icicle music master = the fiddler Sportsman = sportsmaster sir swami = the wizard. the justice society were the heroes of the golden heroes of the 1940s. However after word war 2 ended superheroes lost popularity and so as comics began to focus on other genres most superheroes faded, except for batman and superman. However by the mid 1950s superheroes regained their popularity and so dc introduced new versions of their old heroes starting with a new version of the flash called barry allen in 1955. In barry's origin it is established that barry named himself after the fictional comic book character, jay garrick, establishing this new silver age was not a continuation of the golden age. Barry was soon followed by new silver age versions of other heroes like green lantern and the atom. Then in 1961 the story "flash of two worlds" was published. Much like in this episode the flash accidently transports himself to another world where learns in this other universe Jay Garrick's flash is a real person., much like john's discovery in the episode. The two flashes team up before barry returns to his universe. This story would reveal that all the dc stories prior to 1955 were set on this alternate earth, christened "earth 2" whereas the post 1955 silver age stories were set on "earth 1". This story would mark the beginning of several multiversal meetings of earth 1 and 2 heroes as well as introduction of other earths such as earth 3, where the evil versions of the league, the crime syndicate lived (who you met in a previous animated movie). Finally in 1985 they did a massive crossover called "crisis on infinite earths" in which the entire multiverse was put in danger and every character from every earth and every time period were brought together to fight it. This event ended with the multiverse destroyed and replaced with a single new earth with a new history. In this new history the justice society were the predecessors of the justice league, with the JS operating in the 30s, 40s and 50s before being forced into retirement by the government trying to force them to reveal their identities. In addition to the golden age references the episodes tone is likely based on the 1960s adam west batman show. Specific references include a red phone linked to the police, ray's expressions like "holy hijackings, catman" being similar to burt ward's robin's way of speaking in the show, and finally the two cops are likely based on the shows version of gordon and his second in command Chief Ohara. Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman not getting sent to the other earth is likely a refrence to the fact that Bruce, Clark and Diana existed as their hero personas on both earth 1 and earth 2. The three marrying their versions of catwoman, lois and steve trevor respectively on earth 2, bruce even having a daughter named Helena. The episode ends with a tribute to Gardner Fox who created both the justice society and justice league as well as wrote the flash of two worlds story that first brought the golden age and silver age together and thus essentially created the dc version of the multiverse itself.

This episode is so sad. Those illusions were so real they gave their lives to save the justice league. John Stewart's Green Lantern is one of my favorite Lanterns. The moment Flash is hit at the start, John starts swinging. And yes you're right he was a Marine. As others mentioned the Green Guardsman is supposed to be Green Lantern Alan Scott. Alan Scott's weakness is wood. I'm not joking, his powers didn't work against wood. So it's a bit of a joke reference when Green Guardsman says his powers are useless against Aluminum. Sportsman is based off the DC villain Sportsmaster. Now that might sound stupid, but in the cartoon Young Justice Sportsmaster is actually a really powerful villain. Sportmaster is no joke, despite how ridiculous a villain who is an expert in every sport might sound.

As everyone is basically saying in the comments are saying, the Justice Guild is based on the Justice Society of America, which was the first superhero team in comics and were mainly popular during the 1940s. Each character is based on members of the Justice Society: Green Guardsman: Based on the first Green Lantern, Alan Scott Black Siren: Based on the first Black Canary, Dinah Drake The Streak: Based on the first Flash, Jay Garrick Tom Turbine: Based on a combination of the Golden Age Atom (Al Pratt) and Golden Age Superman Catman: Based on Wildcat (Ted Grant) and Golden Age Batman The Injustice Guild villains are also based on the Injustice Society (Justice Society's villains) as well: Music Master: The Fiddler The Sportsman: Sportsmaster Dr. Blizzard: Icicle Sir Swami: The Wizard The episode's tone is based on the golden age and silver age era of the comics from the 1940s and 1950s with the way they speak and kind of the corny and silly moments. Same goes for the sexism and racism unfortunately as well, which I'm glad you noticed. The blonde kid, Ray's expressions are based on what Robin used to say in the Adam West Batman show. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman not being present for the episode might be in reference to them being around during the golden age era of comics and even members of the Justice Society before DC retconned it. The ending of the episode being dedicated to Gardner Fox is because he was one of the great writers for DC who is known for being a co-creator and creator of characters such as Barbara Gordon Batgirl, Jay Garrick Flash, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Doctor Fate, Zatanna and the Sandman. He also was the one who created both superhero teams, the Justice Society of America and Justice League of America. He even established the concept of the multiverse in 1961 with his "Flash of Two Worlds" comic. So he was very influential for DC. We're so close to the end of season 1 of Justice League with only two episodes left. Can't wait to know what you'll think of it. And I'm glad that you're becoming a fan of John Stewart Green Lantern like so many of us did when we watched this show. Another thing is Catman is a real character as he is a lesser known villain to Batman and he's basically Batman but instead of his gadgets being bat-themed, they're cat-themed

I felt like Tom Turbine was more like Hourman because he uses science to give himself temporary super strength

HeroesKey

I can sort of see it but looking at the Golden Age Atom, I can definitely see the influence from there. And also according to Bruce Timm, he mentioned how they based Tom's characteristics on early Superman

Brandon Gibbs

This one was all about them being in a world of classic 60's like superheroes called The Justice Guild and they were true legends alright! The Justice League definitely could've learned a little something from them. It's just a real shame it was all an illusion coming from that Ray boy and that they all passed away a long time ago.

Late comment but yes the justice guild is based on the team called the justice society which in the comics is the team that came before the justice league. essentially the precursor to the league. All of the characters in the guild are knock off versions of the justice society members inuding the absurd villains who are also knock offs like sportman for example is a knock off of sports master who is actually a badass character actually. Also the most important part here is the tribute to gardner fox. He is the comic writer that created the justice league and the justice society. He’s on of the pillars of dc without him dc as we know it with the league wouldn’t exist.
