So Aquaman's series was so popular they were going to team him up each week with other DC heroes to give them pilots for new shows! Too bad Batman's live show was so popular that Aquaman got bumped from his own show. Doesn't seem fair to me. He should have kept his own series and give Batman a separate new show.Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05447083825248853313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-14887702956697959512008-05-23T11:29:00.000-04:002008-05-23T11:29:00.000-04:00Glenn, I'll grant you that the "Super-Hawks" were even worse!<BR/>But the Red-Suits were basically just Challs rippoffs.<BR/><BR/>I'll stick with the Dirty Nazi/Commie fighters, by Crandall, Boyette, Evans, Speigle, etc.!<BR/><BR/>Great weekend,<BR/>-Craig W.Wich2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-91167103685355264192008-05-23T09:41:00.000-04:002008-05-23T09:41:00.000-04:00Oh come on now, wich2, the red jacket 'Hawks were cool.
