===Television=== ====Animation==== * The ''[[Justice League (TV series)|Justice League]]'' two-part episode "Legends" pays homage to the Justice Society with the '''[[Justice Guild of America]]''' (JGA), a team of imaginary superheroes who exist in [[Multiverse (DC Comics)|another universe]] and consists of the Green Guardsman, the Streak, Black Siren, Catman, and Tom Turbine, who are all based on JSA members [[Alan Scott|Alan Scott / Green Lantern]], [[Jay Garrick|Jay Garrick / Flash]], [[Black Canary (Dinah Drake)|Dinah Drake / Black Canary]], [[Wildcat (Ted Grant)|Ted Grant / Wildcat]], and [[Atom (Al Pratt)|Al Pratt / Atom]] respectively. They fought crime until they were all killed in a nuclear war. Over the course of the following 40 years, a boy mutated by the radiation named Ray Thompson used his psionic powers to recreate the JGA as an illusion until the [[Justice League]] arrive in his universe and eventually inspire the JGA to sacrifice themselves to restore reality. According to the writers, the creative team originally intended to use the JSA for the episode, but DC Comics declined as their portrayal clashed with their comic counterparts' post-''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]'' portrayal.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/05/10/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-102/|title= Comic Book Urban Legends Revealed #102|first= Brian|last= Cronin|date= May 10, 2007|website= Comic Book Resources|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150418172921/http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/05/10/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-102/|archive-date= April 18, 2015|url-status=live|quote= DC Comics publisher Paul Levitz had some concerns with the story.

In 1956, the JSA became inactive when everyone but Obsidian were believed to have been killed during a covert mission. In reality, they recovered the [[Spear of Destiny]] with the help of [[Rip Hunter (Arrowverse)|Rip Hunter]], who then transported Stargirl, Steel, and Mid-Nite to differing points in time to guard fragments of the Spear and prevent its reassembly. However, the [[Legion of Doom]] brainwashes Hunter into joining them and recovering the fragments, killing Mid-Nite and Steel in the process. * Two incarnations of the Justice Society of America appear in ''[[Stargirl (TV series)|Stargirl]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://screenrant.com/cw-stargirl-series-trailer-justice-society-america-fate/|title = CW's Stargirl Show Trailer Reveals What Happened to the Justice Society of America|website = [[Screen Rant]]|date = January 16, 2020}}</ref> ** The original group was led by Sylvester Pemberton / Starman and consisted of Kent Nelson / Doctor Fate, Charles McNider / Doctor Mid-Nite, Jay Garrick / Flash, Alan Scott / Green Lantern, Carter Hall / Hawkman, Shiera Hall / Hawkgirl, Rex Tyler / Hourman, [[Johnny Thunder]] and [[Thunderbolt (DC Comics)|Thunderbolt]], Wesley Dodds / Sandman, and Ted Grant / Wildcat. A decade prior, the JSA was attacked by the [[Injustice Society of America]] (ISA) while deciding how to address [[Eclipso]]'s Black Diamond. When [[Pat Dugan]] arrived, most of the team had been killed and he only had time to evacuate a fatally wounded Starman. Before he died, the latter told the former to find someone worthy of wielding the Cosmic Staff to keep the JSA's legacy alive. ** By the present day, Courtney Whitmore finds the Cosmic Staff, becomes Stargirl, and rebuilds the JSA with Pat as S.T.R.I.P.E. and her friends [[Wildcat (Yolanda Montez)|Yolanda Montez]], [[Beth Chapel]] and [[Hourman (Rick Tyler)|Rick Tyler]] as the new Wildcat, Doctor Mid-Nite, and Hourman respectively. At the end of the second season, Whitmore recruits [[Shiv (comics)|Cindy Burman]] into the JSA.
