Bloopers

 * While it is easy enough to explain why Hawkman can survive in space without a helmet, it makes no sense that Black Vulcan can as well, particularly when he is just a normal human gifted with amazing powers. Wonder Woman however, who is an Amazon, requires a helmet to breathe in space.


 * During one of the outer space scenes, Hawkman's legs are mis-colored. In fact, it looks as if he's just wearing red Underoos.

Quotes
