In 1997 it seemed like a good idea to someone to pitch a live-action Justice League of America TV series. Thank the maker it failed. The movie was filmed in the "mockumentary" style centering on DC heroine Ice / meteorologist Ice.
What better villain to showcase in this pilot than The Weatherman? Luckily Flash, Guy Gardner Green Lantern, The Atom, and Fire, led by the Martain Manhunter were on hand to help save the day.
The pilot ended with The Weatherman captured but poised to be the series' Big Bad. It really makes you wonder why with all of the great heroes to choose from why they would choose these guys, and why the Manhunter would look so terrible.
At least Fire, Ice, and the Martian finally made their onscreen debuts as did the Guy Garner Lantern (who looked nothing like Guy).
The show never aired stateside and this poor man's league never got their heroic day in the spotlight, until now.
