Yo.

The JLA pilot is so bad, it makes the Roasts look good.

I dont care how bad U say the roasts were, but U all should know this: Hawkman was fucking awesome in them, and he didnt even talk.

The guy who was Hawkman looked frgging AMAZING. All he did was make a loud squeak every now and then for comic relief, but he LOOKED like Hawkman...and was actually jacked.

Is this pilot where they have Guy as GL?

I've seen a shot of them walking them down a street. It looked horrendous.

It's not Guy as such, The costume they use is Guy's (although it's turquoise rather than green) with Kyle's crab mask but the man wearing it is Hal Jordan.

The film is rather terrible but in a cheap and cheesy way, much as the unreleased Fantastic Four movie was; that Dr. Doom was significantly better than Julian McMahon's 2005 attempt.

Ummm... no... the man's name is Guy Gardner.

I can see the TV Exec's saying and David Ogden Stiers is acting gold, he can play the big green alien...

Keep in mind that this came after The Flash TV series, that costume is shit in this...

I've only ever seen images of this, the F4 movie, and the Challenge Adam West special.

Hawkman was fucking jacked! That made me think Hawkman could work as a movie or tv property.... then I saw images of Geoff's Smallville Hawkman

And Hal teleported in that? Doesn't surprise me....

I liked smallville's hawkman. Michael Shanks I thought played really well.

I also like the Doctor Fate in it.

Smallville's Doctor Fate was amazing.

I actually liked it. No it was not an Emmy winning preformance by any stretch, but still was kinda fun to watch.

And that 1979 NBC live action, as campy as it was, was the catylist for me to start collecting Green Lantern way back when!

Really? Even with the teleporting Hal and dressed in drag Sinestro?
Wow... and here I thought that would turn most people away.

Yeah, that's the one. It does look pretty bad, but the fanboy in me must watch it.

It's Guys name and vest, with Hals personality, Kyles Ring and Crab Mask and, no imagination.

Well I was 13 years old, never read a GL comic before I watched that, so yes, it made me want to learn more about Green Lantern. Is it cool today to watch? Hardly. But I owe my love of comics and Green Lantern to that show.

I can sit through the JLA Pilot.

The Star Wars Holiday Special?!? that's another matter.
