Challenge of the Super-Friends

I was feeling nostalgic, so I put "Challenge of the Super-Friends" on my Netflix queue. This was the late 70s series that re-ran in the 80s featuring the JLA versus "The Legion of Doom". I loved it! It was corny fun. Here are some highlights:

1. Batman & Robin are trying to leap away from Solomon Grundy. Grundy grabs them both by the ankles and Robin say something like "We're goners for sure, Batman!" Batman's reply?
"Not so fast, Robin! Use your Bat-lube!" They both then push a button on their utility belts and an oil-like substance somes out causing Grundy to lose his grip.

2. Luthor creates a device that immobilizes the Super-Friends in a cage rocketing toward the sun. Wonder Woman finally saves them by using her "telepathic control" (aka telepathy) of her "magic lasso" to change the trajectory of the rocket boosters!


3. Aquaman is chasing after Black Manta in the ocean. His mode of transportation? His "Aqua-scooter"! Why would he swim?! That's just one of his major powers!?!
