The Justice League of America and Teen Titans are also featured in team adventures.

Ted Knight's narration: the voice that launched a thousand childhoods.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Filmation's first superhero hit and directly funded their later Star Trek and He-Man empires. Aquaman literally kept the lights on.
The show's 'Aqua-march' theme song was so catchy that 90s Cartoon Network used it for their Aquaman: Outrageous! parody decades later—proving irony is just sincerity with time.
