@Vitalius - the first Nightwing was Van-Zee. Lor-Zod didn't appear until much later.

Odds and ends:


 * The Aquaman stereotype was mainly the fault of Super Friends. Heroes weren't allowed to punch villains. Wonder Woman used her lasso, Batman his nifty batarangs, Superman did something, and Aquaman.... was pretty useless out of water. Ever since more violence is allowed on TV, he's busy on rehabilitation, but there's a long way to go. I thought the first issue of the new series didn't help.


 * Earth GLs: everyone forgets Waverly Sayre (and to a lesser extent, Donna Parker, but she doesn't count).


 * Flashes: not counting Reverse-Flashes or Elseworlds, there've been six: Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West, Walter West, John Fox and Bart Allen.
