Ovens and I thought this subject deserved it's own thread, since it is the subject of hot debate at the moment.
RWBY had a short comic run published through DC, which was confirmed to be canon to the show by the authors. However, a year or so after they released a crossover comic titled "RWBY x Justice League" that involved a version of the JL that was native to the RWBY universe. However, this has not been confirmed by the authors as being canon, as the aforementioned statement was made long before it existed.
Moreover, recently another Justice League crossover took place in movie form, this time with the actual DC Justice League being transported into RWBY from DC. Notably, the RWBY team does not seem to recognize any of the characters from the Justice League despite many of them having an extremely strong resemblance to the comic versions, and having the same names and powers. Such as Batman:
The comic version had bat ears, and the movie version had wings, but otherwise the costumes are completely identical. The team was having some memory problems due to being put into a virtual reality situation, but this was never shown as being a reason for them not recognizing any of these characters, and this didn't change when the situation was resolved either.
This seems to suggest that the original crossover isn't canon to the show, because the movie explicitly is. And since the authors haven't confirmed or addressed its canonicity, and seeing as the two contradict eachother, it should be treated as non-canon.
