At 5:02,”Curse you, man-bird!”. Notice how they didn’t use “birdman”, thus avoiding a lawsuit from Hanna-Barbera. Ironically, on the DC superheroes DVD set, some spots had Birdman depicted instead of Hawkman.
This wasn't the Justice League cartoon. It was just Hawkman. In 1967 there were Superman, Aquaman (with aqualad and "pet sidekicks"), Green Lantern (with Kyro), Atom, Flash (with kid Flash), Hawkman (with Skreel) Justice League (all the aforementioned adults) and Teen Titans (Wondergirl, Speedy, kid Flash & Aquaman) All had there own cartoons. Though only 3-6 of each were ever made.
I'm 5 years late to reply, but these were made when the live Batman TV show was still on and its producer had exclusive rights to the characters of Batman and Robin. No other show live or animated could be produced at the same time. After the live show was cancelled, Filmation did make Batman cartoons.
Hawkman was a cop from thanagar & his job on earth was curator of midway city museum. Who ever wrote these stories didn't read the comics. They're idiots.
It was written by George Kashdan, who was a staff writer for DC Comics. Why Hawkman was made a scientist, I don’t know. Understandably, they couldn’t use Hawkgirl, so they gave him a bird for a sidekick. Maybe Kashdan saw an episode of Hanna-Barbera’s “Birdman”.
HAWKMAN in:
PERIL FROM PLUTO
Love the design o f Hawkman's spaceship and I loved the hawk claw glove!
Yes, this ship is better than the one in the comics.
The Distructo-Claw!
Well, at least they got the costume right! ;-)
Yes.
"Your rays cannot harm me--my wings are like a shield of steel!"
This isn't Justice League of America, this is a Hawkman episode.
Yes.

The original superfriends
Nice!

these cartoons are primative
And I wish he'd kept the original title sequence, so we'd know who wrote this particular cartoon.
"Hop aboard, Skreel." "Keep your claws crossed, Skreel." The writers must have been laughing their a@@s off.
The good old days of animation
lovely
Did anyone else think it was weird how Hawkman was able to stand the freezing temperatures of Pluto without any protective clothing?
His nipples are like a shield of steel.
Or be able to survive outer space for a limited time in a JLA story.
Or maybe it’s from getting the cold shoulder from Hawkgirl, for replacing her with Skreel.
Buenísima 👍👍👍
This Hawkman creeps me out because his voice actor usually does all the villains.
I believe Vic Perrin voiced Hawkman; this particular villain, Kobara, was unmistakably voiced by the late, great Paul Frees.

Ain't Pluto Supposed to be Freezing Cold
These are the "real" heroes of justice
Anyone else notice "wonderGirl" in opening credits?😊
From filmation to hanna barbera
Why wasn’t Batman with them... I remember this as a kid but never noticed that Batman wasn’t there
David belk BATMAN quit the team to ficus on Gotham City
As he should. He's alot more entertaining when they're not trying to shoehorn him in with all the godly heroes.
This cartoon first aired in 1967. Batman wasn't part of the show until the following year.

Smokin’ hot Wonder girl
Who is more powerful? Hawkman or Birdman?
Hawkman edges him out due to Skreal.
No Batman?
Batman came later
