...and Jerry Mathers as Robin, the Boy Wonder.

Mike Sterling's Progressive Ruin has a rather amazing find: two comics fans' letters, published in JLA #17 (July 1963), casting a hypothetical JLA movie.

Dear Editor: I think that the Justice League of America ought to be in the movies. Here are my ideas about who should play who:

     Aquaman - Troy Donahue
     Wonder Woman - Carole Wells (with black wig)
     Flash - Edd Byrnes
     Batman - Vince Edwards
     Green Arrow - Bobby Darin
     Snapper Carr - John Ashley
     Martian Manhunter - Gordon Scott (with make-up)
     Superman - Efrem Zimbalist
     Green Lantern - Roger Smith
     Atom - Michael Landon (with help of trick photography)

Jim Dismukes, 2141, Walz Drive, Savannah Ga.

(How's this for a remarkable coincidence - which really happened, as contrasted to a fictional one that no one would ever believe: in the same mail, we received two letters -- both from Georgia -- suggesting a cast of characters to portray the JLA in the movies! We offer them both for our readers to compare and deliberate over. -- Editor)

Dear Editor: I like the JLA so much that you should have them in the movies. Let me know how you feel about my selections:

     Green Lantern - Edd Byrnes
     Flash - Troy Donahue
     Martian Manhunter - Steve Reed
     Wonder Woman - Tuesday Weld
     Green Arrow - ?
     Aquaman - Lloyd Bridges
     Atom - Dean Martin
     Batman - Robert Taylor
     Superman - ?
My original choice for Green Arrow was Clark Gable, but he has since passed on. And I can't think of anyone to replace the late George Reeves in the role of Superman.
