THIS!
The memory of this atrocity has been stuck in my unconcious for years, perhaps that explains all the alcohol and restraining orders.

This is why I'm glad I don't remember anything from the 70s

Anyone else remember the Justice League movie from the late 90's.

It included David Ogden Stiers (AKA Major Charles Emerson Winchester III) as the fattest Martian Manhunter ever

You know, their Solomon Grundy looked pretty accurate, actually.

I remember a live-action Justice League mini-series that aired in the early 80s, but was pre-empted twice by a stupid basketball game.

All I remember about it is that Hawkman was pretty buff.

Yikes! This looks campier than a SyFy monster flick.

I remember. It looks so cool but sucked so bad. No special effects, corniness, just plain bad. And not "so bad it's good" either, just bad.

I remember being a kid and seeing the listing for the first special in TV Guide. Nearly shiat my pants I was so excited. Then I watched the thing. I think I was, like the writer of this article, trying to look past the copious amount of cheese, so excited I was that some of my favorite comic characters were on TV. But nothing could have prepared me for the follow-up roast the next week. I remember sitting there wondering what the hell I had just seen and why there were no action or fight scenes. It was then, at 8 years old, I learned to hate Hollywood.

You kids today have it so much better.

It wasn't a movie but an unaired pilot. There are tons of bootlegs of it floating around and you can find it chopped up on Youtube as well. Sort of like the Electra Woman and Dynagirl reboot pilot the WB shot with Markie Post as Electra Woman. Part 1 (new window)

I remember seeing that when it came out. Thought the chicks playing Black Canary and Huntress were pretty hot. Not enough to watch it again, mind you.

The actress who played Giganta, Aleshia Brevard, underwent a gender transitional surgery in 1962.
