for this heroic list we're looking at
the very best teams of heroes appearing
in books published by dc comics
we're focusing strictly on heroes so
supervillain teams or ones that fall
into a moral grey area like the suicide
squad
need not apply oh i get it
number 10 the outsiders batman's
relationship with the justice league can
be rocky at times
something that led him to form this team
when his ties to the league were pushed
to the breaking point
fed up with the jla's refusal to bypass
bureaucratic red tape and lack of focus
on street level crime fighting
the caped crusader walked out on
superman and company to form this team
along with heroes like black lightning
katana and others the group's gone
through a number of iterations since
then
but they've always maintained a
reputation for playing by their own
rules and going to whatever lengths
necessary to see
justice done number nine the birds of
prey
after being shot and paralyzed by the
joker in the killing joke barbara gordon
the first batgirl didn't retire from
crime fighting while she did hang up the
cape and cowell
she stayed in the game by using her
hacking and intelligence gathering
skills to help batman and others under
the code name oracle
she remained a steadfast member of
batman's circle of allies but also
formed this group with the help of black
canary
one of the most prominent all-female
groups in comics the team has included
notable heroines like the huntress and
is best remembered for its time under
writer extraordinaire
gail simone number eight justice league
international
following the massive continuity
shattering crisis on infinite earth's
storyline
as well as the legends story the classic
justice league was disbanded and a new
generation of heroes stepped in to fill
the gap
formed by millionaire businessman
maxwell lord this new league included
heroes from across the dc universe
and had chapters and embassies all over
the world this group is fondly
remembered for the more comedic spin put
on its adventures by the creative team
of keith giffen
and jm de matisse whose approach
balanced old-school superhero action
with lighthearted moments of comedy
particularly when it came to the duo of
blue beetle and booster gold
number seven the doom patrol and there
they go
our four lovable losers banding together
to become the superhero
fighting force no one saw coming except
everybody
while they aren't as well known as many
of their contemporaries this team is one
of the best that dc has to offer when it
comes to showing the less glamorous side
of superhumanity
a group of mismatched loners and
outsiders often saddled with superpowers
that are as much a blessing as a curse
this group's adventures explore the
darker and weirder side of dc since
their introduction
but especially once grant morrison got
his twisted hands on the series
team members like robot man and negative
man also frequently find themselves
battling feelings of extreme self-doubt
and inner turmoil as their powers leave
them ostracized from the rest of
humanity
being a superhero isn't all smiles and
sunshine and this team is living proof
number six justice league dark you exude
pain
your life is a patchwork of blackness
with no time for joy
how do you cope with it
i have a butler though the regular
justice league can always be counted on
to combat supervillains
alien invasions and other everyday
threats in the dc universe
they're a bit less well equipped when it
comes to the paranormal threats
after all super strength and batarangs
aren't much good against ghosts
spirits and other intangible enemies
that's why this is the team to call when
the things that go bump in the night
start bumping a little too hard
including paranormal heavy hitters like
zatanna dr fate
john constantine and even frankenstein
this group is all about battling the
paranormal
be it vampires evil warlocks and
whatever else is lurking in the shadows
batman asked me to be in the justice
league
and you're considering it number five
the green lantern corps
a massive galaxy-wide police force with
members recruited from every sector of
known space
there are few other forces in the galaxy
with as much power and authority as this
group
created by a race that calls themselves
the guardians of the universe members of
this elite force are chosen for their
ability to overcome great fear and
granted a power ring that allows them to
channel the emerald energy of pure
willpower
the ring allows the user to fly fire
beams of energy
and create constructs of any conceivable
shape or use so long as the user's
willpower is up to the task
and the ring is charged with energy in
brightest day
in blackest night no evil shall escape
my sight
number four the bat family while it may
not be a team in the strictest sense of
the word
few other groups in the dc universe can
match this team's tenacity
versatility and bond though he often
plays the brooding loner
batman has an extended roster of friends
family members and
allies who are always willing to have
his back including nightwing
batgirl red hood and the various
characters to don the mantle
of robin in every way that counts
they're a family an extremely tight-knit
group who've endured countless tragedies
and hardships
but always make it through together they
may not always get along
but they're in it together till the
bitter end number three the justice
society of america
the very first team of superheroes who
ever appear in comics this group began
when silver age heroes like the original
flash and green lantern teamed up with
other costume mystery men like the
sandman and hawkman to face threats
greater than any of them could fight
alone
the team's history is too long in story
to recount here but they've been a
mainstay of the dc universe for decades
and still represent the
old guard of heroes to a generation of
readers whether they're mentoring new
recruits like star girl or defending the
earth from every threat imaginable
these heroes never falter in their
dedication to peace and justice
number two the teen titans
[Music]
this now legendary team began when the
teen sidekicks of heroes like superman
wonder woman and batman banded together
to have their own adventures
and they've since grown to become one of
the most respected teams in the dc
universe
now including heroes like beast boy
starfire and raven
the group's adventures over the years
have taken them from victory to tragedy
and back again
and pitted them against deadly enemies
like deathstroke and trigon
but despite having to juggle the
pressures of being superheroes with the
angst and uncertainty of growing up
they've always been able to overcome
whatever life throws at them and in this
case that's a lot
no matter how you do the math it all
adds up to you
going down so are you going to go
quietly or is this gonna get loud before

number one the justice league i believe
that if we stayed together
as a team we would be a force that could
truly work for the ideals of peace and
justice
what like a bunch of super friends other
teams have been around longer and may
have even staked their roster with more
powerful members but when it comes to
protecting the peace and safety of the
dc universe
this team has always been on the front
lines and if you think they're not up to
the task
just look at their lineup superman
wonder woman
batman green lantern the flash anyone
who's anyone has spent some time on this
group's roster
in the nearly six decades since their
inception in march of 1960
they've been unyielding in their defense
of all things good and have saved the
dcu as we know it more times than we can
count
