re: If You Had It Your Way, What, If Any, Superhero Should Have a New Movie?

World's Finest...
Batman and Superman

Jett from Batman-on-film, who is probably the biggest insider to the DC movie universe, (has Nolan on speed dial) said this is what we will see instead of JLA.

Because there is no chick in real life that looks that good. Especially with purple hair.

But they can put a space squirrel who shoots guns in one?!

GTFO

aquaman (which I will direct)
ant man or giant man

Great Lakes Avengers.

Nah. But I really would like to see a well done Champions movie. (me and nobody else of course).

They are taking over. Just too many of them.

JUST superhero movies, from the days of Adam and Eve (1951) until 1991, there had been 51 total superhero movies. Superman and Mole Man being the first in 1951 (I think), there wasnt another till 1966 with the original Batman.

From 2000 to the end of 2013 there will have been 65 total. Thats not counting Transformers and a few others, dont know how to clasify them, or even the tons of animated movies. And it's only getting worse.

Run the stats for pure "single flawed male figure-centered action movie." They are probably opposite. This is the current trend for action movies post 9-11. We decided that "heroism" is something only people who sacrifice their lives to do, so we don't make real, flawed figures into heroes anymore, and probably won't for a long time (in terms of cultural psyche).

But we have to have heroes, so we transpose those properties onto people that can't exist. No more hyper-masculinity, bullets, and 90 dead men versus one Arnold. We are jaded now, so we have to take that kind of battle, good vs. evil one vs. many, and put it out of reach.

Enter Super Heroes.

And my vote goes to:

1. Nova - Probably one of the most interesting Superheroes no one in the mainstream knows
2. Nightwing - Dick Grayson is just awesome.
3. Cyclops - I want the fall of Cyclops storyline on film, he became an extremely deep character. Just pure awesome.
4. Heroes for Hire
5. Bishop - His power is great, and time travel needs to be done (yes, Days of Future Past..)
6. Black Panther
7. Wonder Man - Could be tons of fun

Static Shock


Nightwing


Deadpool

Oh, here's one that hasn't been posted yet.

Give me another Dredd movie with Keith Urban and Olivia Thirlby.

That first movie was awesomely fun.

I wouldn't mind a reboot of Spawn. He has a lot of potential that was ruined by the first movie.

Didn't know it was a comic, the first could have been epic.

I would like to see another Constantine movie without Keanu, although I do think it was one of his better movies.

Constantine was awesome.

This is how you make a 35yr old man feel old. You're right about the first too. They really tried but came up a bit short.

Phantom definitely counts and a reboot would be cool. Gotta give Billy Zane a place in there somewhere though.
