James Gunn’s Superman places a new team at the center of the action, introducing audiences to the Justice Gang. This group stands beside David Corenswet’s Superman in defending Metropolis, proving to be valuable allies when Lex Luthor strikes. During the film, Luthor sets a gigantic creature loose in the city as a distraction, while he makes his move on the Fortress of Solitude. At the crucial moment, Superman is backed up by Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner’s Green Lantern, forming the first glimpse of the Justice Gang in action.

Justice Gang vs. Justice League: Key Differences

Unlike the Justice League, the Justice Gang is a fresh creation for the DCU. The name itself is an invention inside the story, humorously credited to Guy Gardner, though his teammates seem less enthusiastic about it. Their base of operations is none other than the Hall of Justice, a place strongly tied to the League in the comics, and in some timelines even linked to the Justice Society. And backing their operations is Maxwell Lord, the powerful CEO of LordTech, whose role mirrors his comic book ties to the Justice League International.

The team, however, feels new and unfinished. They have a smaller lineup, a name that may not stick, and their move into the Hall of Justice looks recent. Yet these details suggest that the Justice Gang may be a first step toward something larger.
