MONITOR'S NOTES:[]
I do not understand why they dismissed the history of Batman 66. I would have loved to have seen:
- Ellie Wood Walker version of Wonder Woman
- the JLA from Legends of the Super-Heroes
- George Reeves Superman
- George Reeves Superman vs The Puzzler and The Archer (both Superman villains)
- The JLD should have had the original Black Orchid
- Harley Quinn should have looked more like a go-go dancer
- Green Lantern Corps should have been in there classic uniform
