There is a tale you know. One of heroes and villains, and the struggles that define them.
You know these heroes:
Our adopted savior, sent from another world.
An Amazon princess, the ambassador of peace.
An orphaned knight, fighting from the shadows.
A king of the seas, protector of its denizens.
A man with the speed of light itself.
An emerald guardian, tasked with protecting many worlds.
Theirs is a tale of myths and legends, locked in neverending battle for the lives of innocents.
Their stories have been writ a thousand times over, and their triumphs are known the world over.
But this is a different story.
In a world far separated from the one we know, those same heroes are but mere youths. Though they may resemble their familiar counterparts, their destinies are not the same. Some will still rise up as heroes, but others may not.
This is a tale of love, betrayal, anger, hope, desire, and woe.

Summary
Everyone always complains about The WB/CW, and how their adaptations of superhero stories inevitably end up butchering the continuities of the tales we know and love with cheesy dialogue, unecessary love triangles, and all manner of unholy teen drama.
So I thought, "hey, why not embrace it?"
This is a story that centers on the characters from the Justice League as teenagers in high school together. It takes place in a completely different universe than the mainstream DC Comics universe, so the characters can go in totally different (and deliciously melodramatic) directions.
It's going to be a fun story that embraces witty-yet-cheesy dialogue and great character moments.
It's called Teen Justice. Yes, you are supposed to laugh. :)
