Comment(s):
- Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are their Silver Age versions, therefore their post-Crisis versions would follow a different chronology. Of particular note is Wonder Woman, who for a time was not a charter member of the JLA and her place was filled by Black Canary II, with history reverting back following Infinite Crisis.
