8 Intriguing Superhero TV Shows That Were Never Made

As is often said, we are currently living through a hugely prosperous period for superhero TV shows, with Marvel and DC both owning the airwaves with the likes of Daredevil, Arrow, The Flash, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and many others. Whatever your particular taste for comic book capers is, there will most likely be a show for you out there.

1) The Justice League Of America

Though Batman V Superman received a mixed response, fans are still hugely excited for the upcoming Justice League movies. What most people don’t realize though is that a version of the JLA did previously star in a TV pilot at one stage, but it never came to become a series.

With big guns like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman off the table, the pilot for Justice League of America featured The Flash, Green Lantern, the Atom and Fire and Ice. Plus, Martian Manhunter as played by David Ogden Stiers. Unfortunately, this first attempt to bring the team to live-action (this honour eventually went to Smallville which formed the Justice League in its sixth season) didn’t win over any fans.

The writing and costumes in particular were atrocious and, well, it just isn’t the Justice League without the Big Three. Even if you’re not a fan of the gritty, gloomy tone of the DC Extended Universe, we can all be thankful that they are nothing like this failed TV show.
