| 0:00.0 | Tom versus the JLA number 215, or I don't think it was mind control that made the Adam Knock Hawk man silly. |
| 0:07.2 | Welcome back for Justice League of America number 215 the June 1983 issue entitled Into the Microcosmos Part 3, The Bigger They Are, written by Jared Khan with art by Don Heck and Romeo Tangal, Ben Oda Letter, Tony Tolan, |
| 0:22.4 | colorist, Nenween, editor with a cover by George Perez. Your roll call for this issue is the Atom, |
| 0:28.7 | the Batman, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Red Tornado, and special guest, the Siren |
| 0:33.9 | Sisterhood. Now the best thing about doing a show five days a week is you guys |
| 0:38.7 | can hear it when I catch a cold and you can hear me in all my stages of getting bad and |
| 0:44.7 | then recovering. This is the low energy show. This is the truck. I'm going to entitle this |
| 0:49.7 | Thomas Struggling Part 1. We start this issue with where we ended up the last time. |

| 1:23.7 | with the back of his hand sending him for a ride. Red tornado I'd be kinder to, but not that |
| 1:28.8 | much kinder. And Ray Palmer knocks him away with the strong gust of his hurricane-like breath. |
| 1:33.5 | Now, don't, I don't want to start nickpicking comic book physics because, let's face it, |
| 1:40.1 | there's lots of improbable physical things in here. But this always bothers me to think about when someone gets really tall, |
| 1:46.6 | for some reason that they become so strong that their breath would become super |
| 1:50.0 | breath. |
| 1:51.0 | I mean, it's not really like the atom has become that much stronger |
