You're alright.

No Rogue Trooper though?

Asian lead & director a la BP

film in Hawaii, make it bright and blue and tropical

Constantine is a superhero now.

Hold the fucking phone: Ennis is back on Constantine?!

Is he going for his comedic, Son of Man-era, borderline Bugs Bunny-style Constantine too?!

 

[Staccat0]

Ummmm... hrm...

Fuck it.

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.

Yes he is. The situation surrounding his rights is so frustrating because James Gunn LOVES the character and his stories. A ROM movie would be a sure thing if it wasn't for Hasbro. Such a waste.

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

Oh you should, they are really good.

Stephanie Brown

Cassandra Cain

These two wonderful Batgirls need more love whether it is Batgirl or their own identity (Spoiler/Orphan). Stephanie had a cameo in Young Justice, so maybe it would be nice for Spoiler to appear in season 3.

Who is Cassandra Cain?

 

[lazygecko]

Make it cyberpunk as fuck with an unabashed synthwave score. Hell, there might even be some legal loophole where Marvel still has the movie rights to Doom 2099 specifically.

 

[bob_arctor]

Lesser known, right?

 

[ReiGun]

Best Batgirl. Should have never put Barbara back in the cowl.

 

[Schweinehund]

Captain Marvel/Shazam.

Still not convinced his film is actually happening.

Other then that, a fully realized JSA film would be awesome. They could even throw Wondy in it at this point if they set it in WW2.

 

[bob_arctor]

Always loved Alien Legion.

I would be there day one. But it has to be the arrogant as fuck, always pissed off Kirby Namor from the 1960s FF. Simply amazing.

Otherwise.. what about Grips?

 

[The Artisan]

Goku definitely deserves a second chance in hollywood.

casting needs to be done right. these folks had it

That's from a Section 8 miniseries that came out a few months ago. It consisted mostly of Constantine talking shit about being forced back into the DC universe. Pretty funny in spots but not that great overall.

Who is Cassandra Cain?

Every time, I shake my fist angrily in the air. Every damn time.

 

[Mulgrok]

GLA dark comedy.

With or without Squirrel Girl

Thanks.

Eh. I'll take some Ennistine whilst I ponder whether it's worth checking out any of the non-HB stuff.

If we are talking 2000AD I want Rogue Trooper and Absalom.

On top of that, Zenith might be good. Oooo or an animated Revere might be pretty cool. Imagine that...

 

[Siegcram]

My top dogs like Doom Patrol and Moon Knight have already gotten love, so I'd throw Cassandra Cain in there.

And I'd be all over a Grendel movie.

 

[inner-G]

That's a great shout.

I'd like a Nikolai Dante film or TV series.

ForgetMeNot

 

[Sandfox]

I would like to see Moon Knight or Static as well.

 

[MrToughPants]

The right person could make Sleepwalker lit. Could even go horror with it

This.

Or Moon Knight which could be paranormal/psychological.

Had both #1s along with Darkhawk...all worth fuck all. 😅

 

[Escape Goat]

Do a Great Lakes or West Coast Avengers but make it a comedy that deconstructs the genre

Best Batgirl. Should have never put Barbara back in the cowl.

Where are these people coming from...

 

[EdibleKnife]

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

I would like to see Moon Knight or Static as well.

All of this!

Edit: The Nighthawk image from Sandfox got cut off

Also Squadron Supreme in general

 

[Parallax]

Why though? Given specific circumstances they wouldn't give a shit about each other.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

Mike Allred's Madman preferably played by Steven Yeun

A secret agent killed in a car crash is brought back to life by two mad scientist who name him Frank Einstein. He lacks most memories from his previous life so he's all introspective but he gains supernatural reflexes & empathic and precognitive abilities.

He uses a hollowed out Duncan yo-yo and modified toy disc gun as weapons. He defends "Snap City" and fights evil robots, beatniks & G-men from Hell. He befriends Aliens & mutated street beatniks.

Madman & the Atomics would be one of the most off-beat & colorful comic films with the right team.

 

[obijkenobi]

Everyone saying Blue Beetle is my new best friend.

 

[shaowebb]

• Irredeemable
• Squadron Supreme

I got a thing for darker stories.

 

[The Silver]

Namor done right would be the Roman Reigns of the MCU

 

[Pau]

Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) is such a no brainer. It serves as a great subversion of the typical teenage superhero tropes found in Spider-Man. Unfortunately, in the cartoons he's been in, they've ignored many of those subversions. Particularly, his family and friends all knowing about his powers and heroics.

Blue Beetle without Paco and the others just isn't the same

 

[Red Arremer]

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.

Speedball wasn't exactly an interesting character, sure, but Penance was just an utter shitshow.
The basic idea was fine, but the execution was just utterly terrible. But there wasn't anything to ruin that they hadn't ruined by the over the top stupid "I need to be in constant pain to feel remorse" shite. Like, he's wearing an iron maiden as a suit. Seriously?

How is this better than just a boring ol' teenage hero just wanting to do some good?

Dude also went on to capture Nitro, then torture and murder him in cold blood.

There is absolutely nothing about the Penance arc that was good, it was just an utter failure at creating a super violentgrimdarkgritty anti-hero because those were vogue at the time, and it went so deep into over the top territory. It tried so hard to make Penance "cool", but it completely failed. And as a complete failure it stands in line with all the other Civil War storylines.

The Penance arc for Speedball was just as bad if not worse than Hydra Cap.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Static should have a movie.

 

[Black-Wind]

The only true Ms Marvel

 

[jon bones]

The only true Ms Marvel

kamala's not in that book

 

[Escape Goat]

He said the only true Ms Marvel.

 

[Red Arremer]

The only true Ms Marvel

Are you referring to Monica? Cause she never was Ms. Marvel, she was Captain Marvel. :V

 

[Pharaun]

I want Nextwave just so we can see The Captains run in with Captain America.

Booster Fucking Gold

I'm surprised this isn't a more popular response.

The goofball disgraced college football star from the future steals a bunch of future tech to go back in time and become a superhero just for the money and fame of it, but his selfish motivations to make up for a troubled past come back to bite him.

It's a lot more unique of a story than most comic hero origins would be, and could make for a really good one off movie. His outsider view of the DC superhero universe with just a vague grasp from history class could maybe even provide for some opportunity of deconstruction of the genre without being too in your face 4th wall breaking like Deadpool.

That's a great fucking cover. I love it.

There was a Booster Gold film in development I thought. It's not in the DCCU though.

its definetely worse than hydracap. hydra cap at least retains part of who he is despite all the heinous shit hes done. penance isnt robbie baldwin in any way. another casualty of the civil war shitshow

 

[Squirrel Killer]

Cool to see so many Moon Knight suggestions. I'd love to see a gritty noir-ish black and white take on something from Sienkiewicz era of the first run.

 

[Parallax]

honestly, im aware its a homage like squadron sinister/supreme but id love to see more of great society in film, tv, or (hopefully) in comic form. its a shame their story came to an end so quickly

also, id love an exiles series, with an adjustable cast per season. mainly so i can have more of this bastard

 

[PhoncipleBone]

All about that Adam Hughes speech bubble there.

 

[Opto]

Give me The Question with a Netflix Daredevil budget, but preserving his near crazy characterization from JLU. Gotta get to the bottom of the aglets conspiracy.
