So, I've recently begun collecting comics again so that my newborn son can grow up reading the same comics I did and sharing in the same joys as I. I'm focusing mostly on the big 3: Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. My question is in regards to the formation of the Justice League of America.
In The Death of Superman series, particularly in Funeral For A Friend, we see Batman and Wonder Woman watching Superman die from the JLA HQ... which takes place after Superman: Panic in the Sky, which by all rights could be a precursor to the JLA's origin... but when does the actual League form? I plan on getting the Morrison run to the JLA and I was wondering how that fits in chronology with the events of Superman's death and return / Batman's Knightfall trilogy. If not, then could anybody point me in the direction of finding the origin story for the Post-Crisis JLA in relation to the events listed above?
Edit:
I am not overly concerned with any of the newer publications. I consider this time of Post Crisis to Infinite Crisis to be the heyday of DC's comics and desire to focus mainly on that. As such, I just wanna post Post-Crisis to Infinite Crisis in a somewhat logical order for my son, wife, and I to have a somewhat complete story.
Thanks so much.
