This week’s failed pilot TL;DR:
The creators of Smallville gave Aquaman a go in 2006. It looks like 1996. Ving Rhames is in it. It’s real dumb.
Smallville, despite never being more than a mediocre show, managed to run for 10 seasons thanks to the popularity of Superman. Here’s what happens when you do basically the same thing, but replace Metropolis with a bunch of fish.
This show was made in 2006. A period piece, presumably.
