his series was one of several DC Comics based superhero cartoons that formed part of the 60-minute compilation program, The Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure. Only three, seven-minute episodes of Justice League of America were produced.

When the forces of evil were too great for any single superhero to conquer alone, the combined might of the world's greatest superheroes was relied on to save the day in the form of the Justice League of America. The group was led by Superman, with other members including Aquaman, Green Lantern, Hawkman, the Flash, and the Atom, each of which had they own series that ran concurrently with Justice League of America. It should be noted that although Aquaman was included as a member of the JLA in the opening segment, he never actually participated in any of the JLA episodes.
