Any superhero comic book fans on here?

Since a few of you are into Teen Titans, DC used to run a series called Young Justice. I've never read it, I'm not sure how it conntects to Teen Titans or not.

Any, for a few issues, they gave the Wonder Twins from Super Friends a reboot, and added them to the line-up.

Issue 49 of YJ had a two page spread with all the teen heros in it, you can see the twins in the upper left corner.

I believe Young Justice (the comic = Cannon) was basically Titans 2.0 after the (original) Titans grew up and were adults themselves - no longer the young junior side kicks. It featured the newer versions of the Titans. Probably as a marketing scheme to draw in younger (teen) readers whom could identify with the teen heroes. I believe it had a bigger draw featuring more popular teen versions of the Justice League than, Batman's Outsiders, whom were relatively B/C - List heroes.

The Young Justice cartoon was everything the Titans cartoon SHOULD have been - IMO, but I suppose some version of the juvenile Titans format is necessary to draw in fans at a younger age.

Two of the three items I won on ebay (am I the only one who still uses ebay> LOL) arrived today. They're going on my wall, framed, but they're a bit of a curiosity.

They are group images of The Super Friends. They have the official logo, the "Tm" to show they're trademarked.

The line up is very similar to the one on the show, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Robin, Aquaman, Flash, and Green Lantern.

However, for some odd reason, Green Arrow and Batgirl are both added to the line up. Green Arrow as a guest star on one episode, in the very first season. Batgirl never appeared.

Same line up, different pose. Once again including Green Arrow and Batgirl.

I don't know if this line up was suggested at one point, and then scrapped, but it's pretty interesting.

To my knowledge, Wonder Woman never had the double "W" breastplate logo while she was in the Super Friends. She had always had the eagle. I think the double "W" came in the later 80's, after most of the Super Friends cartoons were over - other than the Super Powers line. That had the double "W".

... but I could be wrong.

Of course it could just be my age... when I think of "Super Friends", I think of the stylized cartoon art:

The art in your pictures to me looks like traditional 80's comic book silver age Justice League of America comics art... but Batgirl was never a formal member there either.

The pic you posted above is the first season of The Super Friends. That line up was 1973-1976.

In 1984 the show was retitled as "Super Friends - The Legendary Super Powers Show", and at that point, Wonder Woman looked like this.

The third item I won via ebay arrived today. a "mini" poster....size 16 X 20.

The heroes and villains of Challenge Of The Super Friends.

The "white spots" are not on the item I won, they're from the flash when I took the pic.
