Each episode was 44 minutes long. After the third season, it was reduced to 22 minutes and ever so often expanded cast of characters by featuring other JLA heroes joining the main five Super Friends (Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman, and Robin) on a semi-regular basis. The series episodes varied from single episode stand-alone stories to episodes with two, three, or even four segments. The varied incarnations of the group, from Super Friends (1973–1974) through The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians (1985), were considered by their creators to be one continuous canon. There were a total of 93 episodes, along with two episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies , with Batman and Robin appearing in "The Dynamic Scooby Doo Affair" and "The Caped Crusader Caper".
