Super Friends was a Saturday morning cartoon staple airing on ABC from 1973-1986. Produced by
Hanna Barbera and based on the Justice League of America and associated comic book characters published
by DC Comics, the series ran over the years in a few slightly different iterations, but three of its best
known superheros, Batman,WonderWoman, and Superman remained a constant throughout its run.
