Behind the scenes

• This issue explicitly states that the Hall of Justice is located in Gotham.
• Wendy and Marvin's surnames are revealed.
• The Anthony Stark that gives a donation to the telethon is really the civilian identity of Marvel Comics superhero Iron Man.
• Wonderdog hitches a ride on a Ford truck.

Errors

• It's a little confusing on the first page because it says how the Super Friends are training the Junior Super Friends at the Hall of Justice in Gotham, but that's not actually where they are when the story begins, as it's later revealed they are holding the telethon in Metropolis.
