Justice League of America (1997 TV Movie)
10/10
Oh man...this show was disgustingly awesome.

or O out of 10!

I've only seen this show knowing it was a terrible failed television show that had never even seen the airing of its pilot. I came into it with a sense of humor and expecting nothing.

The Atom using his powers to limbo under doors...Barry Allen in the guise of Wally West...Guy Gardner...a RESPONSIBLE Green Lantern. Not to mention the fact that it was a bunch of twenty-somethings living in a sweet loft and sharing wacky adventures...but...oh man...they had a cornucopia of craaaaaaazy powers! It was like...Saved by the Bell: The College Years with super-powers...and they tried to air this on prime time CBS. You know...alongside...Murder She Wrote or something.

And no one could forget (provided you dug up a dub at a comic convention or caught it on youtube) the hilarious Martian Manhunter prosthetics.

The funny thing is...the Adam West Batman series originally aired as an adult comedy but gained a fan-base as a children's live-action series. If CBS decided to re-air the episodes with that kind of marketing...it could work. Had I seen this show when I was six years old I would have loved it.

Again. It goes both ways. If you go into this show expecting an ironically hilarious failed series, it is GOLDEN. If you go into it with expectations that reflect the comic book series... ... ... ... you will hate yourself for letting this show ever be a part of your life. Seriously, if you want a legitimate Justice League series...it is THAT bad.
