  3. Loved watching these when I was a kid. The Teen Titan ones rarely aired, but when they did I was thrilled. It's interesting that Filmation was ok with using Wonder Girl, but never attempted a Wonder Woman cartoon. Not even as part of the Justice League. Strange.

  4. Then as now, entertainment producers see super heroes as the sole domain of boys...and boys (supposedly) just aren't interested in female heroes. I think that's the main reason Wonder Woman gets so little love. How many movies, animated series, TV series have been made about Superman and Batman. Compare that number to the ones done about Wonder Woman...

    Even the majority of the merchandising for the Justice League animated series omitted Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl. It's a never ending cycle.

    I can't wait for this DVD, though.

    OH WAIT!!!

    Now that I think about it:
    Wonder Woman didn't make it out of comics (unless you count the newspaper strip) until The Brady Kids in 1972. The Superman/Aquaman Hour started in 1967. That means Donna beat Diana to TV by about 5 years!!! Wow.
