In 1996, Kenner started production on a new line of DC Comics character figures. This line, like Legends of Batman and Legends of the Dark Knight, featured all new sculpts of popular DC Comics characters. To appeal to buyers, Kenner produced the line under the high selling Batman title, calling the line Batman: Total Justice. This line featured Batman, Robin and The Huntress, but also included other DC Comics characters including Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash and others.
Even though this was the first line of DC Comics character figures released by Kenner since the Super Powers line of figures folded 10 years earlier, fans were not happy with the line. The figure's posed sculpts and weird "Fractal Armor" accessories made fans unhappy. Wanting more articulation and less gimmick, fans abandoned the Total Justice line, and Kenner stopped production after only 14 figures were released.
Two years later, the Hasbro toy company produced the same figures included in the Total Justice line, but this time released them under the name JLA (a tie-in with the popular comic title). Several of the unproduced Total Justice figures were produced in this line, but no new Batman related characters were included.
