Hi, this is actually my first post on this board, but I am a long time fan of the Legion, and I am also a big fan of the new series and hope that it can last.
Now for the purpose of my message...
Is Karate Kid a new member of the JLA?
In the latest issue of Wizard, there is a large pic of about 40 or so heroes that are shown as being potential members of the new JLA. Way in the back of the team pic is Karate Kid (current version). I wonder if there isn't a Kara/Val swap in the near future...
Any insight from anyone?

The image is a bit suspect since Dr. Fate is no longer alive and no longer looks that way. I hope they aren't changing Green Arrow's outfit to that. Yuck.

Some other interesting inclusions in that picture as well as some very interesting omissions.
I see Tempest, Troia, & Cyborg but no Nightwing Arsenal or Starfire. Could it mean that Dick, Kory & Roy don't survice IC? Or is that maybe Dick wearing the Bat cowl as has been speculated?
Both Supergirl & Power Girl are on that cover. Maybe Kara will only be a part time, time traveling Legionnaire (as in the original Legion)
Is that The Guardian in the center just above Cyborg's left shoulder? That would be cool. Cooler still if that was actually Mal Duncan (who was the Guardian prior to being Herald.
Nice to see Red Tornado in the picture next to Ralph (who seems to be wearing fishnet stockings at first glance, though I imagine that means Zatanna is standing next to him off cover )
Is that the new Blue Beetle below KK or is it maybe Bummblebee in a new version of her outfit?
Also nice to see Adam Strange, Black Lightning and the Phantom Stranger included. They have long been JLA allies (and quasi members)
Four Lanterns are depicted (Hal, Kyle, John & Guy) so I guess they all survived IC)
Is that Wally or Bart (or maybe even Barry)? Enquiring minds want to know!
You can just make out Booster's arm and lower torso, just above the partial body of Diana, so it appears they both survived also.
And finally, is that Metamorpho or Shift? Hmmmmmm...
As for those not depicted...
Besides Dick, Roy and Kory (already mentioned) I find it odd that Barda isn't there next to Mr Miracle. And there is no Superboy (but I wouldn't necessarily expect him to be up for JLA membership) But most surprising, and of most concern to me, there is no Matian Manhunter and no Capt. Marvel Jr!

PS: Who is the dark skinned femal below Fate and next to Kendra? Almost looks like Dani Moonstar!

That's Vixen

Is that Arsenal behind the "M" in "America"?

Looks like the new Blue Beetle.
Other interesting tidbits: I love that the Question is there. Less so that he's colored brown instead of blue.
I like that they have Capt Atom in his silver look - the Kingdom Come looks he has now is ugly.
There's a little person on Ralph's shoulder (the Atom?), but s/he's almost completely in shadow. Hmmm...

In "JSA:Classified" #2, Lightning Lad said: "I told Brainiac 5 the time traveling was going to mess with her head. Look at what it did to Karate Kid."
That ended up not being the real Lightning Lad(?), but this could be either a clue or a red herring. Even if KK doesn't end up in the JLA, at least it appears that he will be "present" and availlable [SIC?] for membership consideration.

Whose hand do you think it is holding the membership notices, or whatever they are?
Nice spotting on the 'little person' perching on Elongated Man's shoulder-- I missed that completely.
Now I want to see Ralph adopt a costume with fishnets ...
Is that Shilo in the Mr. Miracle costume, or Scott?
Hope Ollie's readoption of this uniform isn't long-lasting. If he *had* to go back to a different look, I'd rather he went all the way back to the GA look over this one. The 70's costume is the one to stick with, IMO.
Guardian, KKid and the 'little person' are the surprises to me.
The trouble with an image like this one is that whatever lineup is actually settled upon could pale in comparison.
I hope they go for a JL Unlimited-like roster. It'd be kind of interesting if *some* Titans or Outsiders or Doom Patrollers were simultaneously League members. Some openly, some in secret?

Hey! Good point. I got used to the idea of multiple Flashes when Waid wrote Flash a few years ago, it'd be pretty cool to see somebody else take that idea and work it into the JLA again.

A
I thought it was the Ultra-Alien ...ultra-something..
Don't know why though, what would he be doing in a JLA promo image?
..and really, that's the new Blue Beetle? One that carries the scarab and has super-powers?
edit: Ralph does look like he's taking "a walk on the wild side"
