Superman Aquaman Hour?
This originally came out back in 1967 and was produced by Filmation with mostly Aquaman seven minute cartoons with Superman playing second fiddle with much fewer cartoons-it also included The Atom,The Flash,The JLA amongst others.Does Warner Brothers own the video rights?

DVD Talk Gold Edition
Warner owns the rights, or at least did, because I have The Superman, Aquaman, and Batman VHS versions that were released of these shows. They were called the "Super Powers Collection", but were not the complete runs, only a half dozen episodes per tape. I'm not sure if they're even still in print - but I got mine back in the late 90's.
Would be cool to one day see them show up on DVD, though. Could still happen.

These are great. I remember Superman, Batman, Aquaman & Superboy. I'd love to have them on DVD.
I found this on the DC Comics message boards:
In March 2004, ownership of the Filmation back catalog which was under the ownership of Hallmark was sold to a British company called Entertainment Rights. Entertainment Rights have since made the revelation that when Hallmark converted all of their Filmation shows to digital format in the 1990s, only PAL-format copies were made, with the original film prints apparently discarded. This was due to Hallmark's previously unknown (but long suspected) short-sighted policy of only distributing Filmation shows outside of the U.S., thus potentially leaving all Filmation shows forever running 4% faster than they originally did.
