Thank you to the administrators of this site for maintaining such an excellent website, and thank you to the members for making it a friendly and informative place.
On to the thread.
My apology if this is posted in the wrong forum, or has been discussed prior to this thread.
There seems to be such an wealth of knowledge in this forum. It really is impressive. Also, differing opinions are offered with such civility. A really neat place.
With regard to the title of this thread, I was wondering if anybody knows the reason why Wonder Woman wasn't featured, at least to my knowledge, in any of the 60's Filmation superhero episodes that featured The Justice League, Superman, Batman, Aquaman, The Atom, etc.
Even if the "powers that be" felt that Wonder Woman didn't warrant her own episodes, surely as a founding member of the Justice League (and to provide a little gender balance), she could have, and dare I say should have been featured in the Justice League episodes of the series.
To confound the issue even further for me, is the fact that other lesser known female characters from DC, such as Mera, were featured in some of the 60's Filmation superhero episode(s).
As a further exploration into the progression of cartoons with DC characters, it is interesting to note (as I am confident all here are aware) that when it came time for the Super Friends cartoons in the early 70's, Wonder Woman was automatically one of the main members, was featured in the show, and remained a staple character throughout the run of the series.
Which again begs the question (for me), why is Wonder Woman completely absent in the Filmation Justice League episodes or otherwise.
Thank you in advance for your time and your insight.
