I have been watching the Justice League Season One and Two DVDs recently. I’m actually working through season two now. I began watching the series on Cartoon Network with “Justice Legue Unlimited”. I really enjoyed the series, when I could watch it, so I was happy to see them on DVD. I am enjoying watching them out here. Â
The series however, is not without its questions. Even from the first episode, I asked the question; Since when does Wonder Woman fly? Doesn’t she have an invisible jet or something? Or maybe I missed it, but she definately does fly on the show. She didn’t fly in the Superfriends, but she does now–what’s up with that?
On the second season, she flies with Batman in tow–on some other planet.  Some things always suprise me. Why do the writers have to change what has worked well for so long? The invisible jet is as much apart of her character as her laso and bracelets. Are they going to make her fly in the movie too? Not to sound like I’m feeling threatened, but Superman flies…Wonder Woman does not…Batman does not. Green Lattern does because of his ring. Hawk girl does because of her wings. Martian Mnhunter does because…well all martians fly–but even if they don’t, who would know better.Â
So why does Wonder Woman fly? I don’t like it when they mess with the standard story line.
