Will it be the traditional Justice League team or the New 52 team?

In order to make the Marvel Universe work on the big screen, the studio made the decision to deviate from comic book mythology regarding the origin of a number of heroes and the formation of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The traditional Justice League team featured Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and the Martian Manhunter. DC recently rebooted its entire continuity and changed the original team to include Cyborg instead of the Manhunter. That would leave the team with only one lady (an obvious problem for the big screen Avengers) and just one minority character (also a problem for "The Avengers"), unless the John Stewart Green Lantern is included instead of Jordan. Considering the success of the new "Justice League" comic book series, it's hard not to see the current lineup in a "League" movie. Whether they will add any other characters to that mix will be a big question mark.
