A threat large enough to put Harley Quinn, Sinestro and Starro on the Justice League must be a big one indeed.

Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo appear to be having the time of their lives putting the DC Universe through the wringer in Dark Nights: Metal, opening up the biggest can of proverbial worms possible with the introduction of the Dark Multiverse and an flock of evil Batmen. Whatever comes next is going to require a much bigger Justice League, one that will turn to both fan favorite heroes and some flat out surprises to bolster its ranks.

IGN broke the news today about DC’s post-Metal Justice League plans, which will kick off in a four-issue miniseries with the curiously paradoxical title Justice League: No Justice. It’s being put together by an all-star team of creators, including writers Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV and Joshua Williamson and artist Francis Manapul, and will run for four weekly issues beginning on May 9.

The biggest takeways from the article? First, the Teen Titans are getting called up to the big leagues, with Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven joining their former teammate Cyborg in the Justice League. Harley Quinn is also getting a shot to prove her worth to the League, and there are even more shocking surprises in the form of villains Sinestro, Starro and Deathstroke.

In fact, the Justice League will actually be four teams of five for this story, and perhaps going forward, at the suggestion of Brainiac. While it’s not the first superhero story ever to explore the “heroes accept the help of villains for the greater good” theme, it’s possibly the most ambitious one that DC has done, and it has the potential for some crazy stories.

Here are the four Justice League team rosters that will be introduced in No Justice, as well as the theme that ties each group together:

  • Mystery: Superman, Martian Manhunter, Starfire, Sinestro, Starro
  • Entropy: Batman, Deathstroke, Lex Luthor, Beast Boy, Lobo
  • Wonder: Wonder Woman, Doctor Fate, Raven, Zatanna, Etrigan the Demon
  • Wisdom: The Flash, Cyborg, Harley Quinn, The Atom, Robin (Damian Wayne)

It’s not clear at the moment if all of these teams will receive their own titles, but CBR is reporting that Snyder will pen the core Justice League title once Dark Nights: Metal wraps up, with an artist to be revealed later.
