What comic book movie do you want to see? - Page 2

**GK Punk** · 06-11-2003, 02:37 AM

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

Shellfox · 06-11-2003, 07:23 AM

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

~~Tokka-B~~ · 06-11-2003, 03:31 PM

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.

Which begs the question: If he's black and street-smart, is he still Jimmy?

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.

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...........

~~Leo656~~ · 06-12-2003, 02:22 PM

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?

~~Tokka-B~~ · 06-12-2003, 04:10 PM

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

*Voltron* · 06-12-2003, 04:24 PM

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...

~~Leo656~~ · 06-12-2003, 04:27 PM

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.

*Voltron* · 06-12-2003, 04:30 PM

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!

~~Leo656~~ · 06-12-2003, 05:58 PM

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.

ninjapizza · 06-12-2003, 06:07 PM

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

~~TheShredder~~ · 06-12-2003, 08:48 PM

Actually I belive Peter Paker was a college student.

~~Leo656~~ · 06-12-2003, 08:50 PM

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.
