*This logo was spoofed in an episode of ''Robot Chicken'', titled "Rabbits on a Rollercoaster", where Joss Whedon guest stars as himself (in doll form). As the Mutant Enemy rips apart the city, the scene cuts to an office where Joss is playing with paper cutouts and an executive says to him, "Come on Joss, that's why you were kicked off Wonder Woman.". To which Joss holds up one of the monsters and says "Grr, argh!" |
