    Lives of super heroes exposed

    The Justice League of America made an appearance in the Pottle Recital Hall at 9 p.m. last Friday, Jan. 28. Aaron Pfeil, Robbie Beyl, Roxanne Pfeil-Huckabee, Jacob Quebedeaux, Simon Pfeil and his wife Margaret Davis-Pfeil, Dwayne Smith and Nathan Constant made their film debuts as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Black Canary, Martian Manhunter and Aquaman, respectively, in season one of Stephen Pfeil’s online mini-series “Meet the Justice League.”

    The series is a parody of the lives of superheroes from DC Comic’s Justice League of America. It is a superhero series that gets away from the typical action found in superhero movies in today’s industry and focuses on aspects of everyday life. The style of the film is reminiscent of “The Office” or “Parks and Recreation.”

    The turnout for the premiere was spectacular. The event was publicized by word of mouth and on Facebook, as well as by the promotional posters hung in the Student Union that were shot by Leicester Mitchell, a senior graphic design and photography double major. Nearly every seat in the recital hall was filled, and each episode of the five-part series ended in uproarious applause, as well as a standing ovation at the end of the entire event.

    “I guess it’s one of those things that you can’t really explain how it feels until you’re privileged with getting one,” said Pfeil, who was humbled by the expression from his new fans.

    “I quite enjoyed the films. I think they were very amusing,” said Sarah Mathis, a biology pre-vet sophomore. “I thought the turnout was really surprising, I didn’t think that many people would be here.”

    Stephen and all of the actors thoroughly enjoyed working on the film.

    “Well there were a lot of parts that were really rough and a lot of times where I was like ‘Oh, I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish it,'” said Pfeil. “And production is so hard on a movie because you have to rely on so many other people. But I think my favorite part was actually having the whole Justice League together in one spot and having everyone acting together and working as one. We’re all friends and get along and goof off behind the scenes.”

    For those unable to attend Friday’s showing, all of the episodes of “Meet the Justice League” will be posted weekly on Facebook at www.facebook.com/meetthejusticeleague, or on Youtube at www.youtube.com/user/stpfeil.
