Two pages from Justice League of America 31, and the story behind them
In the latest issue of JLA, there's a short scene between Red Arrow and Black Canary. Those pages have an interesting behind-the-scenes story to them, as Dwayne McDuffie revealed on a message board some time back.

Why a simulation of a graveyard, you perhaps wonder. Here's your answer.

Some readers were discussing the fate of Hawkman and Hawkgirl in Final Crisis and whether or not they died. McDuffie chimed in with:

I wrote a scene set at their gravesite that I recently had to quickly rewrite into something not very good.

Which prompted the following exchange.

Reader: Do you actually enjoy writing JLA? It just seems to be constant editorial rewrites and bad art.

McDuffie: No, I don't.

	Approach Wally for what? And why wouldn't she? He's been around for the past thirty years--in non-DCU time. Not sure what that is in DCU time--as the main Flash. At this point, I would say she knows him a lot better than she knows Barry. The real question is: why would Didio let Dinah approach Wally when she could be approaching the "iconic" form of the Flash? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I know that the original Post-COIE timeline has been partially redone, and Dinah is no longer a founder, but she still served with Barry for quite a while. She has known Wally for a long time, but he would have been "Roy's friend" or "Barry's nephew" until very recently. To my knowledge, this is the only iteration of the JL where they actually served together, and one of McDuffie's stories had Diana call him on the fact that he was never around. She never had the chance to really get to know him.

The real question is: why would Didio let Dinah approach Wally when she could be approaching the "iconic" form of the Flash?

For all we know Barry could be on Hal's team, so the "iconic" Flash would be taken.

*sigh*

I really hate the Silver Age fetish going on.

	I thought Wonder woman and Black Canary were both founders now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Supposedly! That's only been established in the 52 back-up and pretty much ignored. (Then again, one of those cases was Meltzer, who conflated Busiek's Aquaman with Orin.) (Reply to this) (Parent)
