===Inter-company crossovers===
The Justice League has on a few occasions appeared in crossover stories with superhero characters from rival publishers such as [[Marvel Comics]] and [[Dark Horse Comics]]. In general, such inter-company crossovers are rare because a lot of resources must be spent in sorting out the legal issues and corporate politics of the two companies, and due to licensing issues, they cannot create spin-off merchandise and media, which all reduce the profitability of such projects.

The last crossover between [[DC Comics]] and [[Marvel Comics]] was ''[[JLA/Avengers]]'', which they jointly published in 2003. Now that Marvel Comics and DC Comics are part of major multimedia corporations (Disney and Warner Brothers, respectively), those aforementioned hurdles are even more complicated, which makes another project like ''JLA/Avengers'' much less likely.<ref>{{cite web |title=Marvel and DC team-up: An oral history of JLA/Avengers, the most ambitious crossover event ever |author=Jermaine McLaughlin |date=15 June 2015 |website=SyFy Wire |url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/marvel-and-dc-team-up-an-oral-history-of-jlaavengers-the-most-ambitious-crossover-event |access-date=October 2, 2021 |archive-date=October 2, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211002151857/https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/marvel-and-dc-team-up-an-oral-history-of-jlaavengers-the-most-ambitious-crossover-event |url-status=dead }}<br/>

Tom Brevoort: "Those were really the final days of both companies being "Mom & Pop" shops. Now, with both Marvel and DC being integrated multi-platform companies, the inter-mingling of competing IP is a much more complicated and complex situation, along with the fact that you wind up spending considerable resources on a project for which you only recoup half of the eventual profits (and that you cannot utilize across other lines of business beyond the publishing) make it a lot more difficult to justify. It's hard to justify both the allocation of resources and also the difficulties of navigating the politics between two competing corporate giants. So it's not impossible that it could never happen again, but the factors against it happening are considerable."</ref> In 2017, [[Dan Didio]] remarked that DC Comics and Marvel are very competitive toward each other and only did crossovers when their sales were low.<ref>{{cite web |author=Brendan Hughes |title=Could We Get A New Marvel/DC Crossover In The Near Future? |date=19 March 2018 |url=https://lrmonline.com/news/could-we-get-a-new-marvel-dc-crossover-in-the-near-future/}}<br/>"Dan Didio, DC's Co-Publisher, squashed the idea of any crossover with Marvel during the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con stating that the best way for DC to succeed is to compete with Marvel. He linked that the past Marvel/DC crossovers were a temporary measure due to the comic market reaching all-time lows."</ref> However, DC Comics did go on to feature the Justice League in crossovers with smaller companies such as [[Dark Horse Comics]], such as a crossover with ''[[Black Hammer (comics)|Black Hammer]]'' in 2019.
