Justice League of America Theme Song (1967)

[RainbowPowerRangerX]

Wonder Woman? N'aww, we don't want any girls wrecking our style.

[TheAwesomechriz]

Funny how they are all white lol

[lowlypeasant]

Aquaman: "Hey guys, I got the ocean covered if anything goes down in there!"

[JeLo2332]

Im Thinking these 60's Cartoons Use the same Narrator Over and Over again.

[soberchimera61]

I like this lineup, everyone has powers and there's no woman to bleed over everything.

[bearishone]

folks during the late 60's they took cartons from us for a while, and if they were not dressed a certain way were not allowed to be seen. they tried to force a change in the comic books too, didnt happen

[Artproductions2010]

this is kinda similiar to the 1967 show teen titans, except there's no girl superhero in it.

[drumdust]

They should have been off fighting the VC.

[brinpol]

Did this pre-date the Superfriends cartoon?

[timepoet77]

@brinpol As a matter of fact, it did by a good 6-7 years.

[MsSuperman1011]

DaNmitt

[recoverfromhydro]

I thought Batman was part of J.L.A.

[MsSuperman1011]

Wheres batman ,wonder woman,plastic man ? (he was in the justice league



[Metaldog67]

@MsSuperman1011 i always hated plasticman lol!

[WarriorSmurf]

@MsSuperman1011 Plastic Man was in a later JLA team not the roster back then.

[gunman771000]

Anyone notice that Batman wasn't there? And where's Wonder Woman? She at least made the SuperFriends team. Not to sound racist, but I guess back in the 60's it was only super-powered white-boys in the League, huh?

[MasterMacLeod]

@gunman771000 Superman and Hawkman are aliens, not white boys.

Just sayin'.

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod then what are they ? dark aliens? still white boys. outer appearance what matters

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft How do you know they're not minorities at their homeworlds?

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod who cares about if they are minorities in their homeworld or not? especially kids who watched this way back when this was shown on tv? all they cared was outer appearance, their power and what they did. as long as they were white, it didnt matter where they came from. it wouldnt be a question in the first place. put the black panther there, they would have asked "mom, why is there a nigger as hero?" fact is, in the past, often it was non-american which were the bad guys

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft You just answered the questions. They cared about what the characters' stupor powers were. They didn't give a rat's ass about their skin color. I know I didn't care if they were white, black or green. That's irrelevant.

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod hahaha. then u are mistaken, read again, ive said "all they cared was outer appearance, their power and what they did" so yes way back during those days colored heroes did matter. they raised up too much questions for the viewers. u should do a little history research about how colored people were treated way back 1967. for example, when did the mormons accepted colored people in their church etc.

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft I am talking about normal people. Mormons aren't normal. And the way they treated black people in the US doesn't mean they were treated the exact same way elsewhere.

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod besides that, u werent born during those days. u were born in the 80's, were everything seems already normal. what u care or dont care today differs from what the people cared during those days. so u cant speak for all of them. do research when colored people were finally accepted in some major sports league, schools, churches etc.

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft Well, my dad was in his 20s in the 60s and he tells me back then they didn't care about skin colors, so he knows better than either of us.

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod besides, kryptonians were all white as far as i remember. same goes to Thanager

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft You ever went to Krypton and Thanagar? fascinating

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod hahaha. tell me, have u seen an asian/black kryptonian on lois & clark? jla? any dc comics? even movies? or cartoons? same goes to thanagarians. there were several movies and cartoons / comics that gave us a glimpse of their planets. and no there werent black or asian colored people. even the entire army of thanagarians when they attacked earth. based on what the script writers have produced, i draw my conclusions on that, and there is no other answer accept if they produce it

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft Yes, Dean Cain is Japanese and he played Superman.

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod Dean Cain wasnt japanese, he wasnt even an obvious japanese from outer appearance. u could even dismiss him as an caucasian who regularly had a sunbath since he was also a worked out gladiator. he was a japanese descendant. but never did the series portrayed him as asian or japanese. think again man....asians would think that you're stupid.

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft Dean Cain's birth name is Dean Tanaka. Are you trolling? He's of direct Japanese descent, his dad is Japanese whether you like it or not and that makes him automatically Japanese. That's like saying Obama isn't black just because he was born somewhere else and because his mom's white. You're the one saying stupid stuff.

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod dumb ass. dean cain never portrayed asian. think twice. and read again, i already said he was descendant. he never was full japanese. he never looked full japanese, and he never represented japanese. i am asian and i would think of u as stupid as saying he represented asian origin as being superman

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod i can give u a few good examples were colored people were always the enemies... do u watch star trek? look up the concept for romulans and especially the klingons. klingon empire were a concept of the japanese empire (look up the first klingons in the 60's). or...who was the enemy of flash gordon? there are soo many examples that u havent noticed yet

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft We are talking about DC, not Star Trek.

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod Star Trek was an example, which applied to all. same to the bionic man, marvel, dc comics etc... u really do need some history lesson. way back in the past there wasnt even a black super hero among DC until black panther. the conversion of superheroes from white to black just started way way later (Jon Stewart GL, or Nick Fury of Marvel etc.). u do not need to stick to DC to see the difference...u need to see history

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft So what? Again, let me restate something that is 100% true: before the 70s, comic books were intended for children. Children never cared about skin colors, grown ups did (sometimes). Stan Lee says so. And even then there was the conspiracy theory of Batman being a homo, which is a far more controversial issue than racial ones.

[zirchsoft]

@MasterMacLeod u dont understand much of history, dont u? my father was in the US Army and he as an asian knows how people were treated way back in the past. I did some history lesson myself and found out that people were just diff. in the past than now. dont try to view history with the eyes u have now. in many states in the US children were taught that they were smarter than black people. that is a fact. so cartoon mattered for the adults, yes you are right on that point

[MasterMacLeod]

@zirchsoft And I'm telling you again that you're generalizing, because the US does not dictate how did the rest of the world viewed the racial issues.

[Lauragal220]

where is WOnder Woman?

[KennethMoreland]

Batman would get raped any REAL supervillian.

Bat Fanboys are just that retarded to believe he couldn't.

[MsSuperman1011]

go,justice league

[gregboyds]

DON'T MEAN TO BE TOO SIMPLISTIC, BUT THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA(THE USA) IS WHAT GUARANTEES THE WORLD'S STABILITY.

They can hate us all they want, but where would they be without us?

[FEVERPITCHROCKNROLL]

@gregboyds A more peaceful world.

[sonpanchan]

I suffered like three epileptic attacks while I watched this.

FUCK YEAH! Would watch again!

[ChristiRich]

Seems like I heard this narration voice talent in the old Go-Bots commercials, and he must still be working, because I recently heard a Mercedes radio commercial that sounded very much like him.

[GaryPeterson67]

@ChristiRich: The "narration voice talent" heard here is none other than Ted Knight, paying the bills between guest spots on GET SMART and GOMER PYLE before landing the Ted Baxter role on MARY TYLER MOORE.

[ChristiRich]

@GaryPeterson67 Thank you!!! :-) 

[MrWriter95]

where's batman and wonder woman?

[Rennba]

without batman they are nothing

the trinity of superman batman and wonderwoman is the hearth of the justice league

batman is a key character and also he can defeat the whole justice league if he wants because he knows their weaknesses

[TheHmuniversalvideos]

i dont care about dc becuase i am a MARVEL fan but where is batman

[Rennba]

without batman they are just a bunch of gay idiots and without wonder woman they are just a boys club.

[Sargebri]

Its funny how they had Aquaman in the opening, but he didn't appear in the cartoons. Also, I guess they didn't have the rights to use J'onn J'onzz the Martian Manhunter.

[auro1986]

they were smart not 2 include batman. he would be like a bug compared 2 them

[lawmancpa]

@auro1986 without batman, the justice league/superfriends would've been defeated many times. Even though you have superpowers, you need strategy to defeat super powered villains. The brains/strategy was Batman's specialty.

[steveasat2]

@lawmancpa And yet these other clods have been stumbling through their solo comics for decades without Mighty Batman to save their sorry butts. And how often do they lose to supervillains? Never. Not even Aquaman.

Batman's reputation is vastly overinflated by the same kind of writers who consistently depict Kirk as smarter than Spock. Humans can never be shown as "good enough", they've always gotta be the very best. Thus, Batman is a more quintessentially American hero than even Superman.

[DarthSideous63]

@lawmancpa Prior to Frank Miller's reboot of Batman in the mid 80's Batman became a joke and on the brink of being eliminated.

[kchishol1970]

@DarthSideous63 Considering how honoured the early 1970s stories with Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams, then the late 1970s stories with Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers, your statement says more of your ignorance of the character's history than anything else. Regardless of sales figures, Batman was treated with far more respect than the silly Jack Schiff editorship period of the late 1950s and early 1960s.

[wdc2998]

No Wonder Woman or Green Arrow, yet Wonder Girl and Speedy were in the Teen Titans cartoon that aired at the same time

[Urvy1A]

They didn't have the rights to Wonder Woman at the time.

[TheRosettaStoned]

Give them a break, they milked the fuck out of all the super heroes, and batman had his own tv show already. This was some tard saying lets do something with them all together, for a season or 2 and that buys us time to write the flintstones and jetsons, oh wait, they were the same thing lol

[fiftypercentelvis]

shoulda had The Batman....! !!

[oOiiPlayMSOo]

NO BATMAN AHHHH

[NEDM404]

the difference is too great between the modern justice league and this one.

[PoodleLover222]

oh my gosh... loolz i like it

[Jokerhamil]

Seizure-ific opening.

[madog20]

that was because color was such a big deal back then. the more color,the better.

[ilbtsfiles]

Thanks for the post but why no wonder woman, I mean I could see no batman cause I think he had his own show at the time, this came out but no wonder woman???

[AwakenedChrono]

I think Wonder Woman had her own show back then too.

[ilbtsfiles]

Hmm was this Wonder Woman Cartoon or the TV show??

Thanks for the reply

[AwakenedChrono]

Oh nevermind, the Wonder Woman TV show wasn't around this time.

[ilbtsfiles]

OTAY Thanks anyways

[WarriorSmurf]

She made her animated debut alongside Superman on the Brady Kids animated series also produced by Filmation Studios. Oddly enough, the Superfriends debuted not long after.

[Gernot2003]

You're right about Batman. He didn't come on CBS until after ABC cancelled his show in 1968.

[snake063]

Why no Batman?

[madog20]

they used him next year for the batman -superman hour.

[fknrat]

At 0:24 - WTF! The Flash and Aquaman are flying!

[mandrake01]

LOL it's true! xDDD

[RichardDickGrayson]

@fknrat hey It was the 60's, a lot of people were flying.... This intro looks like a psychedelic overdose...

[hcvang]

damn cool =0)
