Justice League question. Been watching a lot of animated DC stuff lately. Question relates to the boom tubes being used by JLA members going to and from the watchtower. In some of the series there is a voice that announces them as they enter the watchtower or as in the series Young Justice, mount justice. From what I gathered Superman is 001 and Batman 002 and so forth and so on. I was wondering if there is any verification as to whether or not this was ever in any of the comics, and if so is there an actual list with names and numbers. Also hyped about the new DC Dawn of Justice :D
To my layperson knowledge, that numbering system was only made up for the DC animated universe system. The teleportation tubes were created in the late 70's I think when the JLA first created their satellite station (in pre-Crisis-on-Infinite-Earths continuity.)
Because DC seems to always reboot continuity constantly (Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero-Hour, Flash Point/New-52) and because the TV and movie versions are based loosely on whichever continuity is current at the time, the actual rosters of the JLA teams vary as well.
The DCAU titles "JLA" and "JLA Unlimited" (and off-shoots like "Static Shock") were a separate continuity from "Young Justice", which came out prior to the latest continuity remake (New 52.) So honestly even the newest comics won't match what you will see on the TV shows.
In terms of the recent animated movies,
Flashpoint Paradox onward all feature New 52 storylines and character designs. All the ones prior to that were based on older stories.
Sorry for such a long convoluted explanation, but DC has a bad habit of having a long convoluted history of reboots. It's confusing, but maybe easier in some ways than Marvel's system of simply writing stories forever and having every single story considered 'canon' without ever rebooting/restarting (and having characters from the 1940's still as young adults today.) :p
