8 Superhero TV Shows That Never Materialized

With so many superhero TV shows on at the moment, it's getting incredibly difficult to find time to do other things - such as eat, sleep, troll and, you know, work. What's even scarier is that there's more to come. Soon, your viewing will only be comic book-related and nothing else will suffice. It's like the comicgeddon, but we love it!

Justice League Of America

Sometimes, as much as we love these characters, it’s best that bad ideas fall flat on their face before they can do more damage in the long run. A prime example of this is 1997’s proposed Justice League of America TV series.

When the basic premise of the show is an unemployed Barry Allen and Guy Gardner as a software salesman, you know there’s no hope in hell that it will be any good. And guess what? It wasn’t. It’s like someone read Watchmen for the first time and said, “Wow. We can merge this franchise’s concept with the Justice League and get some washed-up actors to play the roles. Comic book fans will love it because they love everything! It’ll be like printing money.”

Attempting to be The Room of superhero shows, the costume designs were shockingly bad and many of the actors were overweight for the roles, looking like stuffed colorful sausages running around the city. The dialogue and acting weren’t any better, either, proving that no matter what the quality of Zack Snyder’s Justice League ends up being, we can rest assured that it’ll never be this bad.

Justice League of America is the perfect example of a production company not giving a damn about the characters and going for a smash-and-cash grab. We feel dirty even looking at the images of this pilot.
