Designer Notes
Like I said before, these are what I would create for players to run these iconics in a JL type movie. As such, they intended to be able to balance out to around 1k each with similar screen time. Some are do more damage, some have better support abilities, some take damage better, and the Flash is just learning how to use his abilities properly. I didn't stat Cyborg yet, but I might add him later.

First off, Aquaman is fairly tough on both land and sea. Atlantians are intended to be fairly strong (30s? as would be the Amazons), water adapted, and use telesend to communicate. Royals are amphibious. The EM for Swimming is instant on acceleration (from the recent move) and fairly fast, but not good for combat. Aquaman has an additional affinity for marine creatures even tending to defend him when he's upset (suggestion, uncontrollable). In the right setting he can summon a veritable army of critters underwater.

Batman is the old, somewhat burnt out Batman. Years of wear has reduced him to merely peak human levels backed by an insane amount of experience. He relies on real equipment made in "bat" motif. Gadgets allow him to pull anything he could have put in his belt. Visualization allows him to make an IQ roll each turn to benefit <or> penalize someone by 1/3 the MOS (usually a +2 or -2). Otherwise, he's rich, skilled, and has most benefits that a human can.

The Flash is the young, hardly knows his powers version. He's capable of building up static shocks and moving at top speed as easily as most PCs use their normal move. He gets 5 turns for everyone else's one turn, so he can take 5 move maneuvers. Using 5 move maneuvers to each go 256 yards (he can go from 0 to top speed or from top speed to 0 in one maneuver), he can top 1280 yds/sec which is where I put Superman's top speed on this write-up. He's quite powerful if you use, using AoA and AoD as warranted.

The movie Superman (and post-1984 version) are reallly tough aliens that are superior to any military but merely tougher than most metahumans. Kryptonians (and indeed anyone in that league) can indeed beat each other senseless. I've trimmed the less used senses as well in favor of a Wild Talent, so he can have them when he needs them but doesn't need to price out each of them. Mostly he's a tough brawler that can fly.

Wonder Woman is a tough, skilled warrior. She's a but lower in ST, but uses a sword at higher skill that more than makes up for the difference. She has quite a few support abilities (lasso, bracelets, empathy) and plenty of training. MA (Amazon) swaps the traditional ninga type weapons (katana, throwing star, etc) for amazon type weapons (bow, shortsword, shield). Diana does 10d+4 impaling or 10d+6 cutting after WM bonuses with her shortsword.
