I'm going to go against the grain and say... Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. Make the Moive. And treat it exactly the way SBahHJ should be treated.
It will be gloriously shitty.

My answer is pretty much this too.Queen Michael said:One word: Batman.
One that doesn't feel like a crime/thriller movie that has Batman in it.
One that isn't ridiculously campy.
One that lets the Joker's past remain enigmatic while still making sure that he resembles the comic book version. And doesn't think that the Penguin ought to live in the sewers.
That's what I want.
(Sure, I love the Burton movies and the Nolan ones too. But I'd like a movie that takes the characters from the comics and puts them on the big screen. That's all I'm asking for.)
Director? I don't know.
So, Gotham City Sirens without Poison Ivy? 'Cause Ivy/Harley is canon, ya know...Frontastic said:I'd love to do what Marvel did with the Avengers but with the Batman mythos. For exampe the threes films I would love to make more than anything (I already have pretty solid ideas for plots/casts/re-jigged origin stories) are a Harley Quinn film, a Batwoman/Kate Kane film (where Renee's Question would probably show up) and a Catwoman movie. Batman would sort of be a cameo character that would just be in the background of all of these while the world building happened and then bam, big team-up movie.
I wouldn't go the Sirens route (I really need to read that comic, you just reminded me ). I'd sort of like to keep all those films quite seperate aside from small Nick Fury-esque scenes here and there. Also they were just main the three, I'd love to see a Nightwing movie, maybe a Red Robin one etc. Altough if I was going to go any route in a Sirens-esque way, I'd go Birds of Prey and do it right unlike that bizarre live-action TV show they made. That was such a strange show though I did like how they did Harley.saintdane05 said:So, Gotham City Sirens without Poison Ivy?

Transmetro...I don't think you could even get close to capturing what made it good onscreen. Part of what made it so great was that it was...well, written about writing. Awesome thought, but I doubt it would work.FirstToStrike said:Transmetropolitan. I'm not sure who would play the role of Spider (I just don't see Patrick Stewart doing it.), but in the right hands it would make an absolutely kick-ass movie.
Holy crap that would rule. The horrible original movie already did Dangerous Habits (kinda) so you could lead on from there and do Rake at the Gates of Hell.Spot1990 said:Hellblazer. I can't believe no one has ever tried to make a movie about Constanine (Shut up they haven't, they just made a movie called Constantine).
Michael Sheen in the lead. I know it's an odd choice but look
Just die his hair blonde. After Tron I'm pretty sure he can do anything.
With Sam Raimi directing it. I think he'd be able to get the balance between darkness and Constantine's humour right.
No origin story either. There's too much there. Just give him a job to do, his past can be revealed throughout. I don't get why comic book movies always need to be an origin story.
Seconded for a Birds of Prey movie (though I kinda liked that show).Frontastic said:I wouldn't go the Sirens route (I really need to read that comic, you just reminded me ).

It was a decent show but it just lacked the courage the stick to it's guns. It was trying very hard not to come across as too much of a Batman thing (oh how times change) while still shouting, "look Batman fans! We have Oracle! And Huntress (kind of)!". Also I will give them all the props in the world for having a main character who was wheelchair bound but then they had to pussy out at the last minute and give her back the use of her legs (because science!) so she can cat-fight Harley Quinn. Fun fact, they were planning a Gotham Cetral tv show but BoP flopped so hard no network would risk it. *sigh*thaluikhain said:Seconded for a Birds of Prey movie (though I kinda liked that show).
Also, would like to see Cassandra Cain Batgirl, or maybe Kate Kane Batwoman.
Actually, more superhero movies which aren't about the same straight white guy character, especially if it's about him whining about people thinking he's a terrible wanker because he's a terrible wanker.
Yeah, no arguments there. Though, it seems everyone in a wheelchair will get some sciency thing to make them better, cause people in wheelchairs aren't hero-ey enough or somesuch. Logan from Dark Angel, I'm looking at you.Frontastic said:It was a decent show but it just lacked the courage the stick to it's guns.

Argh, yeah, it'll end up that way.Frontastic said:But I agree, more female superhero movies. Just as long as they don't make every one of them a damaged woman who needs to find a man.
Nah, it'll be Ryan Reynolds trying to be funny, fucking everything up "hilariously" but still getting away with it all, because the writers think it'll appeal to 12 year olds.Frontastic said:Also I have strong urge to watch a movie just called "Terrible Wanker" now, the poster of which would be RDJ just looking like his smug, magnificent bastard self.
I must give it a rewatch and see. I just recall that Tatu song playing over the final fight. That's just burned into my brain as how dated the show will likely look now.thaluikhain said:Yeah, no arguments there.

Still...I remember watching it and Mutant X at about the same time, and Mutant X doesn't hold up like BoP does.
Despite having still not seen it, I'm sensing that was directed toward Green Lantern. Is it really like that? Urgh.thaluikhain said:Nah, it'll be Ryan Reynolds trying to be funny, fucking everything up "hilariously" but still getting away with it all, because the writers think it'll appeal to 12 year olds.
