Is he Omega Man? Skeletor? The mystery villain on Carlos D'anda's variant cover for Justice League #9 has 99 problems, of which skin and teeth ar two.

Not too long ago, there were very tentative plans for a Justice League movie to be directed by George Miller. Had the movie gone ahead, there were similarly tentative plans for a Warner Bros. game, and lead artist Jonathan Gwyn created this concept art for a fun looking fighter to be titled Justice League: Mortal. Here's hoping that The Avengers inspires DC to resurrect the JLA movie, and subsequent game, since I could kind of see myself playing this.

Say what you will about the New 52; good or bad, there's nothing on offer anywhere near as cool as Plastic Man and Black Lightning with top hats and canes. And that's a damn shame. Fellow Warner outlet Mad has this brilliant explanation for why the Justice League no longer refers to themselves as the Super Friends.

The Justice League tackles the Royal Flush Gang in this newest clip from the upcoming Justice League: Doom.

Apparently the Royal Flush Gang has never met Damian, or they would know that fearing Robin is actually a pretty good idea. That kid is terrifying! In any event, it's Green Lantern and the rest of the League who have Batman's back in this clip from Justice League: Doom.

Bumper Robinson (A Different World, Transformers: Animated) joins the cast as Cyborg. The cast features three villainous alumni of the Justice League animated series: Phil Morris (Smallville, Seinfeld) as Vandal Savage, Olivia d’Abo (The Wonder Years) as Star Sapphire, and Alexis Denisof (Angel) as Mirror Master. Also opposing our heroes are Carlos Alazraqui (Reno 911) as Bane, Paul Blackthorne (The Dresden Files) as Metallo, and Claudia Black (Farscape, Stargate SG-1) as Cheetah. David Kaufman (Danny Phantom) also reprises his Justice League role of Jimmy Olsen.
