10 Superhero Costumes That Would Make Criminals Die Laughing

justice league 97 Way back in 1997 CBS attempted to launch a show based on the Justice League of America. Directed by Félix Enríquez Alcalá the series pilot focused on a female meteorologist who gains superpowers and her subsequent induction into the world famous JLA. Featuring a who's who of DC superheroes including Green Lantern, The Flash and Martian Manhunter, the show was a monumental flop on all levels and instead was turned from a pilot episode into a TV movie, not that you stand any more chance of ever watching it outside of YouTube. Perhaps one of the biggest failings however were the costumes the heroes wore. They were without a doubt some of the crappiest looking fancy dress costumes you'd ever seen and immediately made some of us think that if superheroes actually existed that is precisely how ridiculous they would look in their disguises. Criminals would be easy to catch as they'd be on the floor in fits of giggles after seeing these idiots running towards them. With that in mind it occurred to us here at What Culture that many of the supposed big Hollywood movies have equally terrible costumes in them so we set out to bring you 10 of the very worst. But before you start why not have a look at this clip from the aforementioned Justice League TV pilot. At least that should help prepare you for the ridiculous looking clothing you are about to feast your sad little eyes upon.
