DC is rebooting again and you're in charge of the Justice League. What 7 characters would you put on the team?
Not who's the most popular like the current Justice League, or who's the most powerful. What 7 DC characters would have the greatest team dynamic for interesting stories?

Working off the implication that Oliver is the one who started the team.
Naturally, Black Canary would follow/attempt to run the team.
I wanted a Lantern, and I think John would be the first to agree that Earth needs a squadron of heroes.
Manhunter would also join a team if offered, especially when dealing with alien threats.
I used Supergirl because, unlike PG, I think she would be more likely to join a team to try to find a sense of belonging.
Cyclone would join out a sort of arrogance, believing herself to be one of the smartest heroes out there. Her journey would be to accept that sometimes she isn't always right and that a team is a joint effort.
Zatanna is a magic counter. I think she would get along with the rest of the team, with her and Canary being mentor figures to Supergirl and Cyclone. She and Ollie would clash often.

The original 7 was just dynamic
I will just change Aquman for Mera

Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
Flash
Green Lantern
Martian Manhunter
Aquaman

Superman, for hope.
Batman, for justice.
Wonder Woman, for love.
Aquaman, for nature.
Green Lantern, for willpower.
Martian Manhunter for understanding.
I want one more lady on the team, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a thematic connection for Zatanna or Black Canary. Black Canary as a stand-in for Green Arrow as a champion for the common man would be interesting.
I wouldn't put Cyborg on immediately, but he'd be the first to join post-formation. His position as the embodiment of progress and technology would lead to an interesting dynamic with Aquaman, plus anxiety at being so young and the newest person on the team.

you could peg zatanna as curiosity or wisdom
you could peg black canary as doubt, in the 'don't assume you are right just because its you thinking it' way and 'I've seen enough bullshit to know a con method when I see one' way

Mary Marvel for purity of good
Guardian
Steel
Orion
Bumblebee
Atom Smasher
