Little resemblence? Are we talking about the same book here? I don't see how he could have been closer to the JLA without actually using the logos. There were even brand new SS members introduced that brought in all the missing JLA members.
I'm afraid I have to disagree, strongly.
Beyond that, SS and Watchmen (and Kingdon Come, come to that) suffer (well, actually they profit) from telling stories that really shouldn't have been told. They involve superheroes* doing exactly what superheoes don't do. In fact, doing what superheroes actively prevent villains from doing.
*In the process becoming supervilains, and forever blurring the line as to what a superhero is.
