Aquaman is a heavyweight?  Superman is the only incredibly
powerful member of the original JLA, and one of their great-
est weaknesses was that he couldn't be everywhere at once.
Batman has no super powers whatsoever.  The purpose of the
JLA was to provide a means to defeat adversaries that could
exploit the weaknesses of individual heroes, particularly
aggregate adversaries, e.g., Sinestro and the Top.  JLA
followed in the traditions of both World's Finest and the
early DC comics, in which heroes crossed titles so much
that the JSA and even its predecessors were a completely
reasonable occurrence.  To say that a personnel change is
going to ruin the Justice League is to completely ignore
the basis on which it exists.  They even let Bouncing Boy
into the Legion!
