History
An incarnation of the Justice League founded decades earlier, the origins of the Justice League Unlimited and whether it stands as a continuation of the original League or it was formed following it's disbanding are unrevealed.
Before Terry McGinnis joined the team, the members of the League included Big Barda, Kai-Ro, Warhawk, Aquagirl, Micron, Superman and possibly Static; Static may have joined the team after Terry joined or before but that still remains unclear. Wonder Woman was referred to as being a member of the JLU, but it's unrevealed if she was an active member at that time, highly possible given her lack of involvement in the JLU's fight with Starro. It's also unrevealed if the Wonder Woman associated with the Justice League Unlimited is Diana of Themyscira, herself a founding member of the original incarnation of the League, or a successor, as is the case with much of the JLU roster.[3]
When Batman received an invitation to join from Superman alone, the other members were not happy that they had no vote in deciding if he should join the team or not.[1] In time, Batman becomes an accepted member of the team, garnering the respect of his teammates, serving with them against many foes, such the Iniquity Collective.[4]
Alternate Timeline
When Chronos altered time, it affected the history of the Justice League. In this alternate timeline, Superman and the rest of the league were killed following the destruction of the Watchtower, while Green Lantern was slain by Jokerz gangmember Dee Dee. The surviving members of the League were Batman, Warhawk, and Static, with Bruce Wayne acting as de facto leader of the remaining group. They operated out of the abandoned Hamilton Hill High School.

- ↑ When asked if J'onn survived Chronos' attack against the JLU, it's simply stated that he, as well as the other Leaguers not present, are "all gone". Since his status was not disputed, it's assumed J'onn holds some degree of membership in the JLU's roster, if not within the mainline future DCAU, then at least in the timeline altered by Chronos' actions.
