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[]
- Lex Luthor: Individually, we have failed to stop the Super Friends. Only by combining out forces will we be assured to put an end to them!
....
- Brainiac: My flawless computerized mind has devised a brilliant scheme that will rid us of the Super Friends, and have the world paying us for doing it.
....
- Lex Luthor: It won't be long now before Toyman does some toying of his own with our three Super Friends!
....
- Black Vulcan: There must be a way out of this black death trap!
