If you have to explain the joke...

For those of you might have not quite have gotten Ben's JLA nomination last week (which, um, included me), he was helpful enough to provide us some reference material:




(From 1997's thankfully aborted Justice League of America TV pilot.)


These catastrophes are all caused by "The Weather Man," the baddie played by Ben's nominee Miguel Ferrer, who shows up right about in the middle of the clip. Of course, I think the word "catastrophe" could easily be applied to this production as a whole.

I didn't realize until seeing this that Steve Barron should've been calling his mid-90's films "pilots".

I can't see how anyone involved in this project could remotely have thought it had any chance of making it to series. Holy schnikies, is this bad.
