What comic book movie do you want to see?
 

Out of these choices, what comic book/super-hero movie would you most like to see?

These are all movies that haven't been 100% confirmed, just various stages of rumor over the years.

Well, Superman has been "confirmed" by DC and Warner Bros., but the same thing was true of "James Cameron's Spider-Man" waaaaaay back in 1993 or so, so I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm a huge Guy Gardner/Green Lantern fan, so I'd most look forward to either of those, mostly because unlike Superman and Batman, they have yet to make a movie based on them.

Well, I am a huge Aquaman/JLA fan, Green Lantern is great too...but either an Aquaman movie or a JLA movie would be perfect, even though those 2 haven't been in the works yet I suppose...

Superman, I've been waiting for a new Superman flick for several years. I'd really like a supergirl movie based off the first 9 issues or so of Peter David's run on the series.

((Smacks forehead)) Thanks to both of you, I completely forgot Aquaman and Supergirl. I considered Justice League, but then I realized that if WB is having so much trouble finding just an actor to play Superman, the odds that they could find people to play Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, etc, in the same movie, are pretty slim. Stupid movie politics. :(

lol yeah, a JLA movie, while Great would be in production for ever, just in the casting department

Um, I don't think we are talking about the same Justice League...I am talking about the series on Cartoon Network, but more importantly the comics. And they do have a Superman voice.

I thought you meant a Live Action movie based on the comic actually, but if you mean an Animated Movie, that could be definetley do-able. I bet they'll even do it eventually, i mean if they did so many batman animated movies

Any casting ideas would be great too, for anyone who wants to throw them in.

Superman: If he was a few years younger and a few inches taller, Bruce Campbell would be perfect. Facially, he looks more like Superman than anyone I've ever seen, even Chris Reeve. But since he's not likely, I have no idea... except it should NOT be Brendan Frasier or Ashton Kutcher, two recent candidates.

Batman: Michael Keaton was the best, but as it stands now... Hmm... no idea.

Green Lantern: Man this is harder than I thought. I can't think of anyone except Tom Cruise as Hal Jordan, and I don't really like that. Damn.

Guy Gardner: I always saw Dennis Leary playing this. I don't think he'd do it, but it'd be fun to see.

I can't think right now. I'm all out of ideas. Oh, and maybe Kurt Russel could play Lobo, since Lobo and Snake Plissken aren't all that different.

Yea, I did mean a live action one as well. They don't necessarily need an actor, they could get one that can act well as Superman, but if he doesn't look like him, they could add some CGI, or just get a really cool suit he could where all the time.

I just prefer to keep things as based in reality as possible. I think the body, the face, the suit, and the muscles should all be as close to natural as possible, or it won't look right on Superman. It worked for Batman, but for Superman it just wouldn't look right, I think. As it is, I've read that the current Superman costume for the movie is padded inside to enhance the muscular look, and I'm not sure I like that idea.

It's official that a new Superman movie is going to be made. And there is a new Batman coming too, although it is called "Batman: Year One." It's the beginning of Batman and how he became what he is and such. That should be interesting. I too would like to see a Green Lantern movie.

I still don't count the Superman and Batman: Year One movies as "upcoming" because even though they've been "confirmed", with the way the biz works I'd be shocked to see either of them actually released within the next five years. "The Death and Return of Superman" movie was at one point confirmed for a "Christmas 1995" release.and this new Superman movie was at one point "promised" for a Summer 2004 release, no later than Christmas 2004. But now they have no director, no cast, and barely a script (the script I read was AWFUL, but I've heard rumors that they've reworked it since then). Some of the "highlights" were Luthor being a Kryptonian super-villain, Krypton not blowing up, Superman doing Matrix-style midair kung fu and Superman returning to Krypton at the end to help diffuse a civil war in the second film. If anything like that is still in the planning, they can keep the stupid movie on the shelf forever. I'm one of the biggest Superman fans ever, but if the movie is gonna suck then they can just forget about it.

And they still can't decide apparently if they want to do "Batman: Year One", "Batman vs Superman", or both, so that's another one I don't expect to see for a while. They've both been "confirmed" more than once over the past year. I wish someone would just buckle down and make the damn movies already without the nonsense. Despite what the people working in Hollywood think, making a good movie based on a comic book isn't hard is you know what the hell you're doing and stop worrying about merchandise and the teen demographic.

Lobo, I need a Lobo Movie (though only an animated movie could do it justice). Few people get him, even I don't completely but this guy would make a great focus of a movie. They gave a movie to Howard the Duck, why not him to, after all he is one half of LOBO THE DUCK

non DC properties- Prime, Darkness, Ironman, Black Cat, Power Pack, Darkhawk, and Spider-Man 2099

There were already were Batman and Superman movies!

I remember hearing about a Superman movie that was 'confirmed' to be in the works like five years ago. The reporter kid (the obnoxious little freckle-faced one -- Jimmy, I think) was supposedly gonna be played by a black guy, and he was gonna be more street-smart. Which begs the question: If he's black and street-smart, is he still Jimmy?


Yeah, but the Superman ones were made in what, the 70s? He's way overdue for an update. And as much as I like Batman, Michael Keaton was the only one that did a decent job. The movies went sharply downhill after him.

Shredder: Yes, there were, but there was also a Punisher movie and now they're making another one, so basically we're being asked to for the sake of argument "forget" that the old movies existed. Same applies with the new Batman and Superman movies they're making (or supposedly making).

Kameko: That's a new one, but it does remind me that another rumor about the new Superman movie was that Jimmy was gay (actually I'm pretty sure that, in the same script as Kryptonian Luthor and Matrix Superman, Jimmy was written as gay), and then a later rumor that one of the guys from N Sync was going to play Jimmy. Stuff like that makes me think that the movie is just going to be bad.

I mean, they won't even let us know about the costume. WHY should it even be a mystery? It's Superman's costume, it looks like what it looks like and you DON'T change it. You don't change the colors, you don't change the symbol, you just DON'T. All they've told us so far as that "it's tight, it's blue, and the muscles are padded"... well that sounds suspiciously like they're planning to "surprise" us with the suit, and I for one don't want to be surprised.

I wish people would understand what made "Spider-Man" and "Daredevil" work: keeping faithfully to the source material and don't make any unnecessary changes. Some things of course are necessary, but changing Superman's costume isn't one of them.

Well, nowadays they should have the technogy that is needed for a suit that could fit your body and be muscular and act as if it were yours...There really is no one that can be Superman, I mean that is kinda the point, he is a super hero....not an average human being.

The suit itself really doesn't bother me, as in, padding or whatnot, making it "fit"... just the idea of changing the design of it is what bothers me. I mean before they get all into the idea of redesigning the suit for a more "modern" look, they should remember that Dean Cain's outfit on "Lois and Clark" had laced boots and a square belt buckle, and people hated it. So yes, a lot of people are anal about stuff like that.

And I do think that the right actor, with the right look, could definitely pull off Superman with a minimum of "movie magic". Chris Reeve did it, and special effects back then were primitive compared to nowadays. The only thing IMO that would keep Bruce Campbell from being perfect for the role is that A) He's only 5'7, and B) He's about ten years too old. Yes, I'm a Bruce Campbell geek, but facially he looks closer to Superman than anyone I've ever seen, what with the dark wavy hair, the chiseled looks and the big chin.

(hey, he's even wearing a cape in this one! :D )

Sigh, if only they'd made the movie ten years ago.

I'm probably the only person who wants to see a Captain America movie. Hopefully if they make one it won't be too Rocketeer-ish.

And hopefully he won't have rubber ears, or an Italian Red Skull as the villain. That guy was a tool.

I... liked... the... old... Cap.... movie..... I must be the only one. :lol:

Well if hes to old we could make Bruce, Supermans father (kryptonian or Human)
Captain America was ok as a movie
I can't wait to see Travolta in Punisher (I think hes the one they got to play the villian)
And they should get around to making that Iron Fist Movie with Ray Park

Yea, his face in that black and white pic would fit superman perfectly, except he would have to go through rigorous physical training to attain a body somewhat muscular like Superman's. I know the suit can account for some of the buffness, but you can't rely on it all or else you will suffocate or not be able to be in the same scene for more than a couple minutes.

Hmmm, about the JLA movie, I think the only complete CGI character they should have is Plastic Man...If they do a good enough job, he could be funny as hell.

Another cool movie would be Hawkman.

It's over-done political correctness like that which makes me have second thoughts on how liberal I really am...

Yeah, Bruce has always been in pretty good shape though, with some weight training he could easily fill out the suit, he has good genetics and a decent frame.

I wouldn't be able to sit through another Superman movie unless it had General Zod in it.

:lol: *Uses the 'Conservative Force'* Join us...

I'll say Superman... as long as they have someone else beside Lex Luthor for a change... THEYVE DONE THAT ALREADY.... 3 TIMES

We need to see more villains like...
DARKSEID
METALLO
BRAINIAC
PARASITE
or even LIVEWIRE...........

Well, since the new Superman movie disregards the earlier ones (it's starting the story from scratch), Luthor's definitely going to be in it. You can't have a Superman story and just disregard Luthor. But that doesn't mean he'll be the main villain, I've heard rumors about others but that's all they are at this point.

Matt: No General Zod, as far as I know, but last I heard the script did call for a plot with Kryptonian super-villains attempting to take over Earth. Why they don't just call the leader Zod, though, I have no idea. We'll see what happens.

Also the one definite thing is that this new Superman movie will be part one of a trilogy, so who knows what villains we could see?

Again, that's IF they ever make the movie to begin with.

Oh, and the two most recent candidates for Luthor have been Billy Zane and Charlie Sheen, how cool is that?

A black guy to play as Superman? Now THAT is a movie I would like to see...Seriously, I think it would work out.

Whose leg do you have to hump to get a decent Green Lantern movie around here? Seriously, Green Lantern may be the best super hero ever, equal to that of even Batman........I just want my Lantern...

Yeah that'd be great to see, I wonder why there's never been a Green Lantern movie before. Well, maybe it has something to do with special effects. I'm against too much CGI in movies that don't really need it, But Green Lantern would be the kind of movie that CGI was made for. It'd be a thing of beauty to see.

Amen

But Spider-Man did make lots of unnecessary changes. Changeing how he got his powers. Changeing his web shooters. Changeing how the Green Goblin came about........oh yeah and in Daredevil they made the KingPin Black! :lol:

But none of that stuff really hurt the story, now did it? I mean back in the 60s, every Marvel super-hero got their powers from a "radioctive" something... but nowadays when genetic mutation and stuff is so popular to talk about, a genetically altered spider biting Peter makes more sense.

The organic web shooters make a lot more sense, IMO. I always found it hard to believe that a kid in high school, no matter how gifted, would have the resources to build something as complex as the web shooters. I actually prefer the organic version.

I never read enough "classic" Spidey to know all about the Goblin, but a lot of comic fans seemed to think it was fairly accurate... all I know is the whole Osbourne thing, how it was the father who then got killed and then passed it to his son. ((Shrug))

And I really don't understand the big deal about Kingpin being black. I honestly do NOT think anyone could have played that character any better or more convincingly than Michael Clarke Duncan. Besides, it's not like they changed an iconic character or anything. Wizard once described Kingpin as "a poor man's Lex Luthor... but fatter". Changing Kingpin's skin color isn't the same as changing Superman's costume, Superman's costume is a symbol people have recognized for almost 70 years, and changing it isn't necessary and would turn a lot of people off. But that's just my thoughts.

I want to see "Batman: Year One" the most.

Actually I belive Peter Paker was a college student.

I'm 99% sure he was in high school when the book started. I think he was 16 or so. Not 100% sure though, most of my Spidey knowledge comes from Wizard, trading cards and reprints of old issues.

Transformers. :tsad:

Not.
