(B) 74% | More than Satisfactory
Notes: But for Batman, really silly (products of their time), though Batman skews comedic too: Silver/Bronze Age paradigm.

Notes:
(1) This is the first time I've really read any Pre-Crisis stories, and it's sort of a culture shock.
- I'm not used to thought bubbles period, let along how ubiquitous they are.
- There's lots of third-person narration. It's exactly how they used it in the 1966 Batman show, so that's the voice I use in my head.
(2) 1970s John Stewart speaks heavy jive, I mean heavy!"

Notes:
(1) Robin keeps calling Wonder Girl "Wonder Chick."
- Possibly, times had changed to where "girl" was deemed insulting or demeaning and "chick" was the new modern/hip term. Of course, today you can't call girls "chicks," for precisely the same reason. The irony.
(2) I understand that "groovy" was a common word, at least in theory. It's so weird to see it in practice."

Notes:
(1) It's interesting to see how modern Neal Adams' art is in context.
- His story is the second-oldest one here, but looks the most modern of them all.
(2) A lot of these stories have Christian messaging, quite overt in some cases. It's odd to see that from a 2022 (almost 2023) viewpoint.
- There's one mention of Hannukah here, and that's about it for other holidays."
