Thanks to Sosai Tim for passing on this information!

In the current issue of Justice Society of America, a group of heroes are trying to come up with a name for their Team. Here's the panel:

 

Good to know someone in current comics remembers! Roll

Yes, it is. I collect comics, but that's not one of them.

There was a cartoon version of Teen Titans a few years ago shown on Cartoon Network. Robin had a 'birdrang' that strongly resembled Ken's. When mentioned somewhere (I don't remember where) the artist admitted that it was in honor of Gatchaman.

I think Alex Ross credits BotP with his becoming a comics artist.

It is my understanding (and I'm no expert) that there have been a number of Gatchaman references in Teen Titans.

I think this is so cool! It's funny to see then sitting around trying to think of names, too!

A team name must be short, punchy, and not sound silly. Unless that's intended.

Neat! I find it amusing that they're referring to our Birdies as "that show," when they themselves are comic book characters. If I recall, in episode 85, Jinpei is shown reading comics -I will assume that he was reading about the fictional "Justice Society of America"!

Don't forget, in the Cataroller ep, Jinpei was interrupted from his comic book reading to answer the call to action!

Speaking of comic books, one time there was a Sonic The Hedgehog comic book that featured a Gatchaman parody. It's uploaded to some website, but I forgot which one.

Heh ... don't fret it Dark Writer ... I think I've done it more times than I can count.

I actually originally posted a link to the picture on wiki last night ... then scrolled down through the messages and went "OOPS! Must edit my post"

LOL!

Thank You. My 12 year old daughter and I are both huge Teen Titans fans (comics and video). Now daddy made Gatchaman her new favorite show as well. And the question came up.... which came first??? Cuz Teen Titans were out in the comics before 1972. But I couldn't find when the Bird-a-Rang was introduced. That confirmed my assumptions because you are right...... there are quite a few Gatchaman references made in the Teen Titans show which is still currently on the air on Cartoon Network primetime.

'Birdrang' is fanon. Probably by association with the 'Batarang' of Batman. And the Japanese pronunciation of 'Bird Run!' can sound like 'Birdrang'.

The SNT was modelled on American superheroe teams, making who influenced whom something of a problem to sort out. They set the template for the five-person team, right down to the characteristic members. The Hero (Ken), the Lancer/Rebel (Joe), the Action Girl (Jun), the Big Guy (Ryu), and the Mascot/Kid (Jinpei). These days, the formula varies more, but these guys started it.

I don't know about Teen Titans, but I do believe that Tatsuo Yoshida and his brothers were heavily influenced by Batman and Superman and other comics of the 1940's.

You know, that reminded me of a conversation I had with friends some time ago (and I'm talking back when the Lord of the Rings moves came out).

Some of my younger friends went and saw the first one, but didn;t like it because it was "full of cliches".

We explained gently that those cliches were original when this book was written.

The same people didn't like Gatchaman because it was "formula anime". Once again, we pointed to the date it was made and explained the Truth.

My DH said the same thing when I showed him the Godfather!

What do you mean 'sleep with the fishes' isn't cliche? ROFL 2
