Ummm. If memory serves me correct. Didn't he take out BOTH the JSA and JLA? And joined the JSA in his Red and Purple suit.

Very nice.....but why does Dr. Fate looks like he is doing the jitter bug?

With the exception of Nightwing, the art all looks very 70's. I don't recognize the source of any of them, but I can see them coming from that era. I think Reddy's logo is from the 80's, but I'm not sure when that one first appeared. The one I recall from the few times I saw it in the 70's (below) was pretty unimpressive, so even if this is a later version, it's a much better choice.

The earliest instance of the logo I can find is from a pair of appearances in the Brave and the Bold and DC Comics Presents in 1979. It was likely used before that in the interior of the Justice League of America as they often used individual logos at the beginning of a “chapter” when the heroes split into smaller teams of two or three.

I still can’t get my head around Nightwing being part of the 50th Anniversary line. I’m prefer that they stick with the mid 70s and leave characters like Nightwing for the main line, but that’s just me.

Thanks for the info, I am excited for it.

I'm thinking that is purely a marketing choice, to give the wave a major character to anchor it. Of all the figures in the wave outside Nightwing, Two-Face is probably the biggest name. He's known, but he doesn't have the "you can sell a bunch of this figure" status of Dick Grayson. He's the big gun for the rest to ride the coattails of. Mattel did this with basically every wave of the DC Universe Classics line; rather than releasing all the more popular characters at once, you'd have Flash in one wave, Green Lantern in the next, then Aquaman, etc. It's a time tested strategy.
