    This may explain why the Atom is absent from the show. Atom Smasher will be in the Black Adam movie.

    And they're supposedly casting for The Hawks and Dr. Fate, so that might rule them out too...if DC's media embargoes are what they are.

    They will probably kill them all off again.

    I could see both Courtney and Beth maybe not putting it together right away, a lot has been happening in their immediate lives.

    Unless they're originally from another universe, which, frankly, would be the only way any of this would make sense.

    I'm able to suspend disbelief, but there's no way they haven't been at least Googling the JSA and its members. Courtney would have at least looked up Stripesy and the Star-Spangled Kid. I do hope they come up with a good explanation. The easiest thing I can think of is the Thunderbolt and some weird spell.

    Yeah, that could work. Without something magical, however... no way.

    We know they've looked them up. Wildcat had a wikipedia page and Yolanda learned about Ted Grant's backstory.

    Pat had a news article that spotlighted Star-Spangled Kid and Stripesy so that's probably a matter of public record.

    Yes - that's why I said earlier that they both have seen evidence of Pat and the JSA having crazy long lives, yet they don't seem phased by it. Flash Gordon said maybe they were too busy to notice, and that's why I said what I just said, and now we're full circle..... ha

    Do they actually know that? The newspaper account was recent, while I have no idea what was on the Wiki pages.

    I mean I do think it's weird how characters from the JSA aren't historical figures with cult followings and blogs about them. I'd imagine they'd inspire about the same level of interest as UFOs. These weird masked individuals that fought the good fight and disappeared.

    Anytime anybody mentioned a superhero film, TV program, or CB story, it would be impossible for someone not to bring up the JSA at some point. Fiction would pale next to the "real" thing. That's why I can't comprehend the people in that universe, beyond magical reasons, not knowing of them. The average person knows of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, but they would be foggy about actual superheroes? Sure.

    They even showed Courtney reading the JSA wiki page.

    Welp, it started out promising, like they might get a heavy hitter in brainwave jr. But we can't have nice things, can't have interesting and useful and potent powers around to showcase how ridiculous and useless some of the others are.
