Then have him turn Into penance in the sequel.

Ugh please no. Anything but that shitty plotline lol. God Penance was such a terrible terrible idea, especially for a formerly fun character like Speedball.

 

[Human Resources]

Grendel

 

[MisterHero]

Plastic Man and specifically Jim Carrey.

Set his origin in the 1930s and have him join the Justice League because he's immortal

He's been around forever but people prefer they were saved by a more prestigious hero like JSA's Flash or Green Lantern. So he's been forgotten over time.

 

[woolley]

Static Shock, I don't understand why this isn't in the pipeline. It would be so dope.

 

[Shadowhelper]

Animal Man could be awesome. Imagine how amazing it would be if Cronenberg did it? I think he's a bit too pure of mind to do a superhero movie though. People love seeing animal based movies. Have tons of monkeys. People can never get sick of apes and monkeys in movies. It's pure gold the idea.

There are quite a lot of Warren Ellis comics you could make into movies. WE3 would make an awesome animated movie.

The first volume of Authority would make an awesome movie or movies.

Black Summer could be an awesome movie. Another short and sweet superhero tale from Warren Ellis.

[cesartron]

Opium. It's a comic from Spain.

Opium is the villain and he always win because the hero (a tv star) it's too dumb and egocentric.

 

[ChemicalCutthroat]

Static Shock, I don't understand why this isn't in the pipeline. It would be so dope.

Static really deserves more love.

 

[Loxley]

Give me my Invincible HBO series damn it.

 

[BlizzKrut]

Sandman (Sandy Hawkins)

 

[dancingphlower]

Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu. He deserves the film treatment.

 

[theSlacker]

Would definitely need to be either on Netflix or some other premium cable channel to fully adapt the greatness that is the Miracle Man comic.

I would kill for a Moore run adaptation of this. I was so fucking happy when they did a reprint of it. And yeah as a mini series with a set run on a premium channel/netflix.

 

[RangerX]

Yeah I was just taking the piss there. That was an awful storyline.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Kevin James.

Wrong. That was the only interesting thing that ever happened to him. Made perfect sense within the story line. They ruined it by going back.

 

[Raxus]

Spidergwen

Blue Beetle [Jaime] (GREAT origin story)

Question (loved him in JL)

Kamala Khan.

Granted, apart from Question and MAAAYBE Spider Gwen, I would be hard pressed to call them "Lesser known" outside of cinematic stuff.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu. He deserves the film treatment.

They should have him in season 2 of Iron Fist.

Just replace Danny with Shang-Chi.

And they can call it Shang-Chi S1 instead of Iron Fist S2. You know, so people don't get confused.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Loving the ROM on the previous page.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Elsa Bloodstone and Nextwave

Yes. Written & Directed by Edgar Wright.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

Perg, from lightning comics. Not that it would ever happen in a million years since I have no idea who even owns it anymore, but still.

 

[Astral Dog]

Negasonic teenager sigma

 

[Sora_N]

They should do Beta Ray Bill.

 

[adj_noun]

Is there really any other choice

 

[Alx]

Doc Savage. I like the cheesy, old-school vibe.

 

[KrebStar]

Moon Knight would be so good. I'm not sure how in the hell it would work, but I'd love to see someone take a crack at The Maxx.

 

[Fury451]

Moonknight and Silver Surfer for sure, but first....

Marvel is a never ending treasure trove of shit I've never heard of. And I thought I was semi well-versed in a lot of comics

 

[Corpsepyre]

Doom Patrol. Nuff said

 

[CaviarMeths]

Doc Savage. I like the cheesy, old-school vibe.

Shane Black is developing a Doc Savage movie. Probably his next full time project after Predator. Dwayne Johnson is playing Doc.

Nice, perfect casting. ^_^

Diabolik

Diabolik (Italian: [djaˈbɔːlik]) is the title and main character—an anti-hero—of an Italian comics series. He was created by sisters Angela and Luciana Giussani in 1962. His stories appear in monthly black-and-white, digest-sized booklets. The character was inspired by several previous characters from Italian and French pulp fiction

 

[J_Viper]

Moon Knight

Played by Tim Olyphant

 

[Wag]

Best DCU detective, all while drunk.

 

[ChimpanzeeThat]

Mister Miracle the master escape artist, just because the marketing should be based around the fact his name is Scott Free, the most delicious pun in comic book history.

 

[Chemo]

I want to see a TV adaptation (HBO/Starz) of THE BOYS.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

The Tick

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Swamp Thing already had a couple of movies back in the 80s, but I'd like to see a take on the character drawn more from the Alan Moore run onwards. Something more gothic and, like someone mentioned earlier, more psychological.

 

[Temp_User]

I think it would be cool to have a retrospective look of MCU Phase 1 to 3 in the style of Busiek and Ross' The Marvels.

What do Adrienne Barbeaus boobs look like now

Animal Man would be hot. Swamp Thing too.

i thought i'd be the only one!

Goku definitely deserves a second chance in hollywood.

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

Nighthawk

 

[Compbros]

Captain Cold, no doubt.

 

[Daingurse]

ROM was Lovecraftian cosmic horror blended with cosmic Marvel. Along with that, you had a guy who sacrificed his mortal form to become a Space Knight who yearns for his lost physical humanity. Meanwhile, he is singularly focused on his task to hunt and kill his enemy with absolutely no mercy. Even with such a crazy background, many of the runs were intimate and felt like I was reading horror comics.

ROM is cool as hell.

You have peaked my interest, man. I have never read any ROM comics.

 

[JeTmAn81]

I've been waiting for a decent adaptation of Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman's Invincible. The main character is a mix of Superman and Spider-Man​ and there are a lot of goofy characters. It could be great.

 

[Strangelove77]

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Moonknight and Silver Surfer for sure, but first....

Hopefully the Hasbro Cinematic Universe turns out to be good.

 

[Ogodei]

Depends on what we're talking about with "lesser known."

DC:
Firestorm
Stargirl
Steel (not that wack Shaq movie, but something real about an average human inspired by Superman who takes up the mantle. It'd fit great into existing DCEU since Death of Superman happened there).
Zatanna

Marvel:
An Eternals adaptation to broaden the mythos beyond Thanos. Bring on Starfox, Sersi, Moondragon, Gilgamesh, and more!
Black Knight
Spider Woman
Friggin' She Hulk

 

[TissueBox]

I'm glad to see Preacher got an adaptation but I haven't really kept up with it. Is it any good?
