What should be made:

Green Lantern Possibly one of the best characters, and most original powers of all, the Green Lantern is one of the most pwoerful and potentially entertaining Super Heroes of all. Start with the Hal Jordan orgin story, he's a test pilot who is chosen by the ring of Abin Sur, who has crashed on Earth. Casting would be simple enough: someone we've never seen before. I'm not a fan of stars taking away from movies.

The Flash My personal favorite comic character of all time, we need to see a serious, extremely powerful character. Go into the speed force and the more dark stories. Have Wally West taking over for Barry Allen, who had just died. No more goofy Flash. The idea would be to get someone who could run, but more importantly who could act.

What's being made:

Iron Man This I am looking forward to. The unorthodox choice of casting Robert Downey Jr. gives the role some real edge and personality, wich I like. My only concern is that the director, John Faverau, was the destructive force behind Daredevil, which sucked harder than Spawn. If he mucks up Iran Man, he'll never be able to show his face at a comic-con again.

The Watchmen Don't know anyting about it yet except Darren Aronofsky will be directing the film adaptation of the greatest graphic novel of all time. I hope he goes in the direction Rodriguez went in Sin City and he doesn't change anything. If it ain't broke...

What should be made correctly:

Spider-Man Recast Peter/SM with someone who has onscreen presence, a personality, talent to speak of, and maybe testicles. Start FROM THE BEGINNING, with a true orgin story as it was in the comic. Peter Parker goes to a science fair, where a radiatio test is taking place. Mary Jane doesn't exist yet. He's bitten by the spider and becomes a TV star. He has a slimy agent, and becomes an egomaniac. Yes, he lets the burgler go that eventually kills his Uncle, and then Mary Jane, a girl who Peter has never met and lives next door, sees him leave to go after the killer. Pater goes back into the entertainment business, but the Bugle has started to ruin his reputation and so he fails. Spiderman tries to join the FF, where he is turned down and the rivalry between Spidey and the Human Torch starts. The first villan is not the Green Goblin, who appears decades later, but Chameleon, Vulture, and Tinkerer.

I can't tell you how frustrated I was with the Spider-man movies under Rami. They should have gotten someone like Peter Weir or Mary Harron, and make them actually read the damned comic. They also should have gotten someone with tallent to do the score. Danny Elfman dropped the ball big time. They need a bigger score from someone like Hans Zimmer or even Jerry Godlsmith's son, Joel Goldsmith.

Batman Yes, after seeing it dozens of times, I've come to the conclusion that I'm not happy with Batman Begins. I mea, sure it was better than the Keaton movies or the idiot Saturday morning cartoon Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, but taking a shit on a bat would be better than those (except the scores for the first two, oddly enough Danny Eflman hit that one out of the park). The acting, in a word, sucked. What kind of an idiot casts Katie Holmes for anything? They would have gotten a better performance with a poster of Katie Holmes without a bra under her shirt. The action scenes were completely horrible, the directing and editing hid all of the fighting skill that Christian Bale developed for the movie, the Batmobile driving on roofs that may have trouble supporting the weight of a few people holding up a 7000 pound rocket car, the microwave weapon only worked on water in pipes, conpletely ignoring the water inside of people. One thing any comic fan can tell you is that a villan is what can really define a hero. Starting with a poor copy of Ra'sh and the boring and annyoing portrail of the Scarecrow didn't reflect well. I've not seen Liam Neson underutilized like that since Kingdom of Heaven or Gangs of New York. The wort thing for me, though, was the score. When John Williams utilized a score relying on only two notes, it was inspired because it was original and it really conveyed the primal and visceral danger of the shark. When Batman Begins was a simple 1, then minor third, I was wondering where the rest of the song went. Jame Newton Howard is best known for, um, well he's written a lot, but nothing memorable. OH, he wrote the theme to ER, I'll be people can whistle that. No? Meh.

I'd like to score the perfect Batman movie, but they'd need a history of scoring films.
