Seriously, there is no reason whatsoever for them to play nice with others when they're perfectly capable of taking most situations on by themselves. Superman, Power Girl, and Wonder Woman are nigh invincible, highly experienced heroes and warriors. When in trouble they can get some outside help, no problem.
Batman has a whole damn Bat-family and network of allies to call on. He doesn't need to be rubbing elbows with one gimmick wonders and subpar martial artists. He's got enough of those at his disposal that don't need to preen or argue about "charter rules".
And the fuckin' Green Lanterns are a paramilitary intergalactic police force where there is one lantern per sector, with back up only a "ring" (ha!) away.
You don't "need" Superman on your team, you can just scream his damn name and he'll come help you without having to cow tow to your ego. "cause I mean, c'mon, if you need Superman AND Wonder Woman around 24/7 what kind of hero are you?
wow, fully agree with ya there, Esbat. I'd put them on reserves since they can probobly be there lickety split.
