Line 6:
The TV movie never aired in the United States, despite being commissioned and produced by [[CBS]] as a [[Pilot Movie]] for an eventual television series. However, [[Short Run in Peru|it was shown in other countries]] (notably Channel 5 in the United Kingdom), which is why [[Keep Circulating the Tapes|bootlegs circulate at conventions]]. Many claim it's [[So Bad It's Good]].
 
The film was reviewed by [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]] and [[What the Fuck Is Wrong With You (Web Video)|Nash]] from [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]] [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/nash/specials/31547-nash-justice-league-of-america-1997-a-review here].

=== The movie provides examples of: ===
Line 19:
* [[Identity Impersonator]]: The Martian Manhunter does this for Fire.
* [[Naive Newcomer]]: Ice
* [[New Powers Asas the Plot Demands]]: J'onn, the [[Martian Manhunter]], only uses his powers a few times but each time, it's a completely different power that just so happens to help the plot along. This is not completely unlike his comic counterpart, however, who has many abilities.
* [[Mundane Utility]]: The Flash makes breakfast at superspeed, the Green Lantern brings his power ring on a date, and the Martian Manhunter uses his powers to fix Fire's love life.
* [[No Endor Holocaust]]: There are ''no'' negative effects of the entire harbor, and later, most of the ocean being frozen solid.
* [[Race Lift]]: Fire goes from a light skinned Brazilian to an African-American.
* [[Strong Asas They Need to Be]]: The League seem to be as powerful as they need to be for any given situation. The [[Big Bad]] was creating intense weather that was threatening to destroy the city. Each time, a single member would casually negate the storm effects despite the scope of the storms or the limits of their powers shown in previous scenes with [[No Ontological Inertia]]. For instance, at the beginning, the Flash simply runs around a city-sized hurricane to reverse it. A blizzard and mud slide are quickly negated by Fire blasting them. At the end, Ice casually freezes an entire tidal wave despite gaining her powers a few days earlier and going through many [[How Do I Shot Web?]] moments.
* [[Super-Hero Origin]]: Ice gets hers in the movie. It's a [[Freak Lab Accident]] rather than her origin as part of an [[Ice Person|ice-people race]] as in the comics. The other members briefly gloss over their origins in one scene. Chances are, if the series had been picked up, it would have elaborated on their backstories a lot more.
* [[Weather Control Machine]]: This is how the Weather Man controls the weather {{spoiler|and what eventually gives Ice her powers.}}
