** Note, however, that very little in comics ever goes completely away. All of the above-mentioned "silly" elements of Batman have been revisited over the years, albeit usually in a "modernized" way.
* As with {{Batman}}, both {{Superman}} and WonderWoman got the sillies cleared out of their titles in the late sixties and early seventies. In Superman's case, this meant Krypto, Mr. Mxyzptlk, the Bizarro World, Lori the mermaid, the Superman robots, etc., while for Wonder Woman it meant Bird Boy, Merboy, the Glop, the Holiday Girls, even Steve Trevor! In Superman's case, however, the housecleaning didn't "take". Fans really ''liked'' Krypto and the Bizarros, so they were brought back after only a few years, and Superman's adventures stayed pretty lighthearted right up until the ''CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'', after which they became DarkerAndEdgier. In Wonder Woman's case, though, shooing the clowns kind of crippled the title, because virtually ''her entire supporting cast'' had been deemed silly and eliminated (Steve Trevor kept popping in and out, but the rest were just ''gone''). In all the years since, she has never really been able to settle on a single, stable supporting cast or even setting.

Korra may be the same universe, but it's its own show, thus its own entry instead of a subpoint of ATLA
