DC Entertainment

With the exception of Batman and Superman, DC needs to get off their butts and start putting out some films. Wonder Woman, ok, but is it really gonna knock the socks off anybody? They did a good job with Constantine, so heres a list of adaptions I think would translate well intofilms

1. Preacher- Vertigo line, weird and somewhat offensive but would be a blast to see this, Clive Owen, Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage

2. Sandman- Vertigo line, alot of characters, but with a focus on Death and Dream, Christina ricci, Scarlett Johanson(Sp?) as death, not sure about Dream

3. Flash-This may already be in the works

4. Swamp Thing -Know there was two before but reinvent this DC staple

5. Green Lantern_This might be hard to translate into film, but still would rock

6. Green Arrow- Were gettin down to the bottom of the barrel but something like Mike Grell's "The Longbow Hunters" mini-series would be cool.

Cant think of much more DC anyone else?

preacher would be killer.

I'd love to see Flash (I watched the TV show religiously and still have the pilot on VHS). Green Lantern would be awesome, although I'd hope they'd use Hal Jordan.
I REALLY want to see a film version of Dark Knight Returns. Since Frank Miller's stuff is finally getting some nods in film, hopefully they'll actually consider it. R Rated Batman . . . mmmm. Maybe Bruce Willis as Bats? Paul Bettany as Joker, Ed Harris as Harvey Dent.

I would love Preacher also but its must be told in two parts and nothing should be left out and I think Clive Owen would nail this roll.

Green Lantern would also make a good one and also Green Arrow.

Actually, I have heard they're in the works for a Preacher series on HBO.

Aside from the Bruce Willis as Batman, that's a pretty damn good idea!!! Keep Christian Bale and I'd be happy with that.

In Dark Knight Returns, Batman is in his fifties or sixties and coming out of a ten year retirement. Christian Bale wouldn't work.

Y: The Last Man is coming soon.

I have always wanted to see this as well. But Bruce Willis? I always that Clint Eastwood would be the perfect Batman for this movie. He is probably to old for this now.

Bruce Willis would totally work with the way he looks now. Clint Eastwood would have worked, but I wouldn't have liked it. Clint Eastwood just can't be Batman.

And as far as other movies go, I'm not interested in any superhero properties from DC, only the Vertigo line. The other characters are just too fantastic for good movies to be made. They're not as grounded in reality as marvel movies are. Everyone's so overpowered with weak backstories. They would all end up 2 hours CG fests with stories on par with Fantastic Four (or worse).

[PS3-Playb3yond]

I don't know why they're taking so long with The Flash and Wonder Woman. I'm really hoping to see The Flash be made.

[buckshot]

never got into dc comics. but i'd like to see the death of superman as a 2 or 3 movie series. cover the death ad return of superman. it would be really hard to pull off, but would be amazing.

I agree that Sandman should get made, but it's obvious that you shouldn't be put in charge of casting, as it's apparent that you don't have a clue what Death looks like.

Death is a thin waif of a woman, she doesn't have a huge chestal area and she certainly isn't blonde.

5. Green Lantern_This might be hard to translate into film, but still would rock

Compared to how much Warner blew on Speed Crapper it wouldn't be that hard at all, just load it up with CGI and call it a day.

6. Green Arrow- Were gettin down to the bottom of the barrel but something like Mike Grell's "The Longbow Hunters" mini-series would be cool.

Green Arrow is a good character if handled properly, I doubt Hollywood would be up to so delicate a task, it'd be like asking Darkseid to shoot the hair off the ass-end of a flea with his omega beams, sure, he'd do it, but he'd probably also take out the mountain behind the flea.

P.S.

Lobo? That third rate Wolverine ripoff? No thanks.

Logan

[Marcusarilius]

Night Nurse.

[B-Runner]

identity crisis would be awesome.

I would also like to see the no mans land saga in like an animated mini series

[Horhay]

Just flash and green lantern, never been a big fan of DC.

[J_UNTITLED]

A real/actual "Catwoman" film/franchise (i.e. not the horrible 2004 Halle Berry-imposter).
