Many all-star teams, such as collegiate "all-conference" and All-America squads, are recognitions of performance only, without the connotation of those selected ever being teammates in a game.
The term "all star" is also used in films, often used as a form of publicity gimmick to promote the cast of a movie in which a number of high-profile actors appear, sometimes merely in cameo roles.
An example of this includes the single "Pow 2011" by Lethal Bizzle in which all the featured artists are credited as "Grime All-Stars".
The term is not equivalent to supergroup, which refers to a group made of already established musicians from other popular bands or with a successful solo career.
The premise of the imprint was to partner DC Comics' top tier characters with the most popular and acclaimed writers and artists.
