If they ever said it was the other way around, I'd call that a retcon.
And yeah, I like pre-COIE with Superman the world's first super hero.
Now I'm wondering when the first story that WW and Robin were both in was published....
Anyway, did the lasso of compulsion last all the way to COIE? I know the hands-bound-no-powers bit still held true in the bronze age.
EDIT: Of course, Speedy also technically debuted before she did, too, but that one's close enough to fudge and say she came first if you like, IMO. But still at close to the same time.
