Well, couldn't you make a similar argument for Batman characters?No, I do not believe I am biased. I made a reasonable argument as to why they could included. I didn't say they would. I'm just saying its a possibility. I also don't really see them as a single team. They are all separate in my eyes just like the Leaguers.
Joker is so far beyond just a "Batman character". He has his own merchandise and his own comic book stories written. He's got his own huge crazy fanbase.
Catwoman and Nightwing both have their own individual series currently.
Harley has her own series along with other villains called the "Suicide Squad".
The only character that's really only featured in Batman, and can be labeled a "Batman character", is Bane.
Finally, NRS has said in interviews, they don't really see people as from a certain franchise, they see them all as part of the DCU. They don't say to themselves, "alright, only 5 from this franchise, and make sure we get 2 from this other franchise". They just pick who will best meet their requirements for the initial roster.
