Despite the massive influx of superhero movies in recent years, I still can't get enough of them.

I want to see a Captain America movie. Rumor on the 'net has it that they're going to make another Captain America movie and release date is 2009 but it hasn't been confirmed, no plot either. Either way I'm excited, I just hope to god it won't suck. For some reason, I think Damian Lewis would make a good Capt. America. As for the Red Skull, Mads Mikkelsen. I can die a happy man if they cast them two in the respective roles. I don't care if they end up having gay sex.

Others include, another Hulk movie. Remake of Dare Devil and Fantastic 4, this with different casting.

Another X-Men movie. This time, the villain should be Apocalypse.

A Batman Beyond movie. I want to see Bruce Wayne in his old, decrypted form. If George Cloony is 10 years older might've been good as the old Batman. With his acting capability, I don't think it should be hard to pull off a bitter old man . Plus, he already played Batman so it's more fitting.

A Cable movie.

A Justice League movie.

So which superhero do you want to see and who do you think would be a good cast?

A quality Robin movie (Tim Drake) or a decent Teen Titans/Outsiders movie would appeal to me. Runaways as well.

I'll go one further though: I would not want to see a Green Lantern flick.

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.

Another vote for Captain America. Done right the story has tremendous potential. Done wrong it could be another Punisher. Hmm ... I picture Clive Owen in the role.

A crossover film like Spider-man and the FF 4 (only by Sam Rami, of course). I actually thing the Sam Rami Spider-man is terrific.

The Avengers ...

Dr. Strange - another idea with good potential. It needs to have the right artistic direction, though to make it true to its roots.

MexicanOnABike

the made the ULTIMATE AVENGERS movie( 1 and 2 ) so theres the hulk, capt america, giant man, panther?, widow?, iron man, and a few others i just can't remember. i loved those 2 films but they are animated.

I'd love to see a Superman movie like the cartoons were. that would be great!
but beside that, maybe make 1 hero that actually kills the enemies!

edit: also, i just want them to continue the Batman movies. if they can improve on the 1st one, then that's PRO! and apparently, Kholmes wont be in this sequel . that's something i agree on!

yes. I mostly meant 1 hero(main character) that does what is needed right away. if i see a psycho killer who plans to take over the world and i have lazer eyes, you bet he'll be dead in 2sec! ZAAAP! BOOM! dead. movie is over. so there would be some GREAT villains in the future movies.

How about a sequel to the Punisher, where Frank Castle isn't so much out for revenge as for righting wrongs and extreme justice. He's been shooting pretty much anything that moves lately anyway.

Mage by Matt Wagner - should be a trilogy as it shows the evolution of the main character just as Star wars showed the evolution of Luke Skywalker, but I'd settle for just the first one, Mage: The Hero Discovered.

Grendel also by Matt Wagner - would need to be a trilogy, if only one Grendel could be made, i'd want to see the Warchild series. Not to do it as a trilogy would really take away from the evolution of the world's society and the Grendel spirit/legacy...

Dark Tower series by Stephen King - (Roland is a superhero as far as i'm concerned...)

Preacher by Garth Ennis

Cry For Dawn (the Joseph Micheal Lisner issues AKA Angry Christ) - would be an awesome horror anthology.

The Valiant Comics:
Solar - Man of the Atom.
Eternal Warrior
Harbinger
Shadow Man
Archer and Armstrong
XO Manowar

Powers by Brian Micheal Bendis

that's all i can think of off the top of my head...

Willravel, I feel you on Spider-Man and Batman. Although, my disdain for both movies isn't as great as yours because I'm not as well versed in either comics as you are, I still feel ya.

I'm disappointed in Spider-Man at first, too. But after seeing it again and again, it grew on me. Yes, I was particularly peeved when they completely changed Peter Parker's history. The fact that MJ was his first love boils my blood. Then I saw the action and got hooked. It's exactly like how I imagined it to be--and more.

As for Batman Begins. I thought he wasn't "dark" enough in the movie. Yeah, they got the part about him being a billionaire playboy right, but when he becomes Batman, I don't sense this intimidating bad ass. I'm want to give them the benefit of the doubt that they'll develop his terrifying persona in the 2nd movie since it's the first movie and perhaps he's still new at being Batman. I also want to see more of his detective work and genius being displayed. And the Batmobile, OMFG!! Please change it!!

Remake Superman Returns, 'nuff said. I don't mind boring, expressionless Brandon Routhe as Superman. I don't care for Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane. I just want to see Lex Luthor portrayed correctly: as an evil genius who's a billionaire and not a thug. He has so much potential and they ruined it! Mind you, I didn't watch the other Superman movies so I don't know how Lex is portrayed in there.

I don't think I'm going to see Spider-Man 3, but I'm with you, KellyC, in that I'm still going to give the new Batman Universe a shot. The Joker will be very, very cool to see again, and I'm really curious how Heat "Brokeback" Ledger will develope and portrey the ultimate arch enemy. I hope Billy Dee WIlliams gets to play Harvey Dent.

KellyC

You know, I was a bit excited to when I hear Heath Ledger playing the Joker but after I hear that Robin Williams and Adrien Brody also wanted to play him, I was really disappointed. On the one hand, it's Robin Williams. He's awesome and I'm damn sure he'll do some ad lib that'll make the Joker interesting--and funny. Depending on whether or not you like his improvs, I'm a huge fan of it. On the other, it's Adrien Brody. Actually, I just think he has the right look for it because of his long, slender face and big pointy nose. And the kicker is that both of them won an Oscar and Heath Ledger doesn't!

I personally don't think Williams could have handled the evil insane part of the joker. He has played a psycho before, like in One Hour Photo and Insomnia, but it was always subdued madness, never the over, sinister, and violent madness. Adrian Brody would be a question mark. His role in the Village sucked, hard, but he was good in the Pianist (though that role is basically the opposite of the Joker). I dunno.

Really hope Captain America movie does not get made - hate that comic. Anyway a good Judge Dredd or some other 2000AD characters like Nikolai Dante, Zenith etc
Lobo would be good

Ch'i

Darren Aronofsky directing The Watchmen sounds amazing, but isn't that Zack Snyder guy doing it?

m0rpheus

As far as what comics I'd like to see made into a movie...

Sandman (I'd prefer a TV show though)
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan origin story)
Captain Marvel (SHAZAM)
Captain Mar-vell (Ultimate version would be cool)
Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD (not played by David Hasselhoff)

Horror COmics... You have any copy?

Is it possible a horror movie has a superhero>??

I just watched the movie The Messenger. It has a different types of hero out there.. hehehe...

I wonder how could the WAZ movie be look like?
Anyone have idea here about the suspense/horror movie WAZ?

Miss Mango

I was really looking forward to the Wonder Woman movie Joss Whedon was working on it until a few days ago, but now hes off the project. That lessens my enthusiasm a bit as Im now concerned about it getting royally messed up. Also, I dont have a clue about which actress would be best in the role. Keeping my fingers crossed for it to work out well...

Oh, and I loved Christian Bale as Batman. The version with Clooney was a disaster, but to be fair, I dont think the fault rests his shoulders. It was simply a bad movie.

KellyC

I'm so stoked right now, there's gonna be a 2nd Hulk movie!!

Actually I just thought of another one that would make a great TV series, Sandman Mystery Theatre.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandman_Mystery_Theatre

It's a pulp/detective series starring the Golden Age Sandman. It would make for great TV.

Wow, no offense to anyone with this opinion, but those that didn't enjoy Batman Begins and ESPECIALLY Spiderman 2 need to lighten up a bit. Look at the regular trash that is produced out of comic book movies. Both of those are two of the best movies in the genre, hands down. Everything can't be absolutely perfect. I think both of those are the cream of the crop, and actually great movies by themselves, when compared to what usually stands at the box office.


With that said, I second Lasereth's choice - I want a GOOD Fantastic Four movie. I would also like to see a GOOD X-Men 4, that brings the series back to being "good movie" status. X-Men 2 was such a high. And it all came crashing down.

A Captain America movie would be freaking awesome. Or maybe something based on ULTIMATE AVENGERS! The animated movie that came out was freaking awesome. I would love to see Thor represented on screen. Hulk went APESHIT in that movie. Best part of that movie was when Hulk actually PICKED UP Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, and Thor is supposedly the only person that can pick it up.

I'd love to see a Doom Patrol series. I loved those comic books ... but then I like the surreal. Yes, a Sandman series would be great too.

A Justice League movie and a Green Lantern (either Hal Jordan or about the Corps), done right, would be the two I'd be most interested to see, followed by an Avengers film, and maybe the Legion.

I mostly agree with you here. I loved batman begin and i can't wait for the sequel. same with the xmen serie even if 3 wasn't as GREAT as 2, it was still enjoyable. and if they make a captain america, they need to keep the whole team of ultimate avengers. i've never seen any comics but from the animated movies, he's not that great so the team is what made it. The could introduce them in the new iron man movie too.

where i dissagree is with spiderman(1 and 2). i thought they REALLY sucked!
spiderman is a wussy. how can you loose special powers?! that part made no fucking sense. there's just too much i hated to pay to see that crap again. If they're not gonna keep the details that MADE the superhero, then you can't call it that! i haven't read that many spiderman comics but in the once i did, SPIDERMAN does NOT shoot webs from his veins. he actualy makes some that shoots from a device on his arm. so until they get that part correct, i'll never respect the movies.

ps: action sequences were awesome though.

I'd like to see a decent Shadow movie - one that is more of a grounded mystery/thriller than a cartoonish actioner.

Here's a question:

Can the X-Men franchise continue after the team was gutted in the last film? What we're they thinking?

I couldn't agree more. All the nay-say about these movies by those who put it forth were well said, and articulate, but I think there was way more good than bad in these flicks. Besides, directors always make changes to the original stories, you have to take that as a given.

I'd like to see...
Marshall Law
The Death & Return of Superman
Green Lantern

i think they can because all the ones that lost their powers can come back. magneto was getting his powers back at the end. the Blue guy got his hand back just a few secs after loosing it. so i feel like they'll just make them a bit less powerful. as for the ones that died, like profX and cyclop: they might still be there in flashbacks or something like that. but i'm just scared that the story will suck because they had such a huge movie(battle etc.) that it's hard to folow it up.

As much as I would totally flip if they decided to do this, I just would be absolutely mortified of them screwing it up. Besides, this role seemed to be perfect for the Clint Eastwood mold, but I cant think of who would work now.

Strange Famous

Magneto.

And yes, Magneto is a HERO.

yeah... they are gonna go backwards in prequel's. There's already a magneto prequel (probably from his liberation from the camps in 45 till the point he turns "evil") which is being discussed.

there is also at least 1 movie you could get out of Wolverine & 1 our of Nightcrawler.

Isn't Sam Raimi slated to work on a new Shadow movie? I'm sure I read that somewhere...

I would love to see a full blown all out Avengers movie, but that would to make a good Avengers film...the pricetag would be astronomical, I'd imagine. Maybe respective titles for the big names a la Iron Man? Maybe a movie each for Captain America and Thor.

Green Lantern would be pretty awesome as well, now that I think about it.

I would like to see a Gambit movie, but since they didnt introduce him in the X-men franchise I dont think they'll do it. (the name in X2 does not count lol)

emmdubb

I personally would love to see a good rendition of Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight" that or Alan Moores "The Watchmen"

both have the opportunity to be cinimatic and gritty

onodrim

I agree with KellyC from the first post that an XMen movie (or movies) dealing with Apocalypse would be excellent. They've introduced Angel into the series now, so they could easily bring in Mr. Sinister and go from there. But since I've lost faith in the francise, I don't see it happening. Also, I would also love to finally see Gambit in the movies, he's always been my favorite and has been sadly missing. Emma Frost I would pay money to see pretty much no matter what...hottest comic book character ever. Well, probably not true, but she is pretty awesome.

I agree with willravel that the music in Batman Begins was disappointing. The score from the original Batman movie is so wonderful and iconic that it would have been great to have worked that into the movie slowly. Slide in small motives throughout the film as he increasingly becomes more "Batman," and bring in the full blown theme at the end during the final scene or credits. But since they chose to do new music, I agree that they needed something stronger, some sort of identifying theme.

Did you see the Generation X made-for-tv movie in the mid 90s? It was great. It was all about Jubilee and Skin joining the team, and starred Finola Hughes, Suzanne Davis, Heather McComb, Jeremy Ratchford, Agustin Rodriguez, and Matt Frewer.
