Hey!

So, CNN reports that a host of comic related comics are destined for release, with a few really catching my notice:

Ghostrider, with Nicholas Cage playing the lead. My comment: Hell yeah.

Thor, no cast or crew known at this time. My comment: Oh god.

Hey, I'd love to keep this up, but The Thing is that all of the ones listed were Marvel comics. Which is nice, but it doesn't cover the other major house. Also, if you read the article you'll note that Marvel alone has 5,000 characters. I want an "Iron Fist" movie so that Jim Kelly footage can be recycled.

So, what of DC? Wonder Woman was brought up, and there's mention of revising her costume. I'm thinking they should go with something out of Kingdom Come. Seriously armor up the gal, give her a sword and let her get amazonian on someone.

How about The Flash, staring Paul Reubens?

Alright, maybe that was bad. Really, I think Viggo Mortensen would make a kick-butt Hal Jordan. Really. He's got good eyes for it. Him versus Sinestro, kills Sinestro, at the end of that movie Guy Gardner is declared the new Green Lantern... well, you know. At the end of the trilogy Hal gives his life for all of us, Guy is still a collossal jerk, and Kyle has taken over as the new Lantern. Go us.

I'd like to see a Justice League movie, with some references to Justice Leage Antartica thrown in, but I'll never get it. Having to get someone to play Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman on one screen would probably cost about the same as Saudi Arabia. And last I checked that wasn't on Ebay. Maybe they could resort to the second, or third, stringers though. Maybe 2 minutes of screen time for Superman and you're off with Elongated Man, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Fire, Ice, and, yes, Guy Gardner. Let them eat cheese.

So, probably, one should delve deeper than those your most familiar with.

How about, "The Heckler?" The hero that finds villainy and laughs at it. And, no, I'm not making that one up.

"Lobo". This one is rated R, and I ain't sayin' why, but the amount of bloodshed would probably stagger the imagination, and make "The Shining" look like a Yogi Bear cartoon.

"Green Arrow." This one has such possibilities that I really don't feel like going into it. You've probably heard of him... but he brings to mind someone else.

Next Batman movie gets the villain "Deadshot," who gets his own spinoff which doesn't suck. That'd be a nice change of pace, wouldn't it?

And the world needs a "Plasticman" movie. Jim Carrey stars, of course.

"Shazam!" also needs a good cinematic treatment. I can't think of anyone big enough, and yet innocent enough, to pull that one off.

And, of course, there's always "Swamp Thing."
