Pre-Crisis, DC seemed very adamant about calling Wonder Woman's plane an "invisible plane" or "robot plane" (or variants thereof: "see-through robot plane"/"transparent plane"/etc.). Never mind there's nothing robotic about the plane, so calling it such seems odd.

Assume the 70s TV show and general popular culture ended up cementing "invisible jet" as its name. DC ditching the plane for years post-Crisis with the Perez reboot also probably erased the term "robot plane" from even comic fans' vocabulary.

Pre-Crisis, Earth C-Minus is the parallel Earth on which the "Justa Lotta Animals" from "Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew" live (a funny animal version of Earth-1/the main DCU). Post-Crisis renamed Earth-C "Earth-26"; it's unclear what's happened to Earth-C Minus...

...though guessing from recent material the "JLA" and Zoo Crew are on the same Earth (a la the post-Crisis merging of Earth-1 and -2), despite Captain Carrot's job for his Earth's DC Comics. (Also guess DC doesn't have to "waste" two Earths on funny animals, vs Elseworlds nobody cares about...)

Re: Taz: That's *one* way to get rid of that stupid sword (*sigh*).

Taz debuted in 1954; he only had 5 shorts, but since became a popular Looney Tunes character.

DC also has a superhero with the same name: a gay Australian man with werewolf-ish powers. Both Tazes owned by Warner Bros., of course.
