if you could direct one super hero movie what would it be and why?

[JD]

Superman. I don't think anyone's gotten it right yet, not even close.

and...

Mage.

Stephanie Brown as Batgirl. I loved how simple minded and fun her character was and I enjoyed the heck out of her comic run. I think it would be a nice to have an angst free super hero who does what she does simply because she wants to do good, not because she's had a tragic life. I'll leave the tragic stuff to her mentor Barbara Gordon.

@ Shade88 : OH YEAH ! A Batman Beyond movie, well executed, could be a real treat. Who would have guessed that ? ^_^

I don't think 'simple minded' is the term I'd use for Stephanie's run as Batgirl. Lighthearted, maybe? She loved being a hero and she had fun at it which made her such a great counter to Batman and the others' usual grumpiness.

Yeah, lighthearted is what I was thinking. I don't know why I put simple minded into the post. Must be tired.

And I love her outfit as well. Had a nice blend of Batgirl and Spoiler's colors. I still did the heck out of this cover.

Absolutely awesome idea. Now you can bet that Hollywood will be picking that idea up.

It´s good to have a few old school-ians around who still know the vintage heroes. I think Magnus was the one hero that was not resurrected in the Valiant universe alongside Dr.Solar and a few others?

Actually, it was. But the Valiant version was horrible. They expalined his skills as being a superpower rather than being trained to do what he could do, then gave him a superhero's costume. Dark Horse had recently gave this title a go, also horrlble and changed the costume to some kind of bicyclist attire. No one seems to get it in their heads that the tunic is a variation of Tazan's lion cloth.

Although not really a superhero, i'd love to direct a movie based on transmetropolitan (Spider Jerusalem)
If it HAS to be a superhero, then deadpool hands down.
As for why -- i think the transmetropolitan story could work really well for a movie, and i'd just love to see deadpool on screen

 

[thebooder]

Spiderman. Simply because I'd like to see Venom done right. And Carnage.

 

[BDK]

I'd love to do a series for Punisher and Daredevil. Done up Cinemax style, not in the typical network drama way.

Movie wise, I'd love a crack at the X-men, as good as they were to go back and do them more 90's style with out all the black leather, and more bad guys than Magneto.

I don't know if there are enough prop stores in Hollywood to make all the leather pouches and straps necessary for such a film. And it'd rely on far to much CGI to give people the kind of anatomy that Rob Liefeld specializes in.

 

[djdancypants]

civil war that would be epic

 

[timelordjedi777]

I would have to say Green Lantern because I'm a huge fan and I understand it a lot more than the people that made the current movie. As far as movies that haven't been made I would say Red Tornado.

 

[Alan Cross]

Fantastic Four! Because I was born to do it...

And Adam Warlock... because it blew my mind when I was sixteen. And I owe the sixteen year old version of myself a great Warlock movie.

 

[darthgordon]

Batman...

I enjoyed the Nolan and Burton films, but I just think it could still be done a bit more like the comics (though, honestly, Batman has been done a 100 different ways in the comics too)...

We'll see what the next reboot after Nolan finishes up will have in store...

Rob Liefeld is to anatomy (and the art of drawing in general) what the Boston Strangler is to a woman alone at home. Didn't stop him from crying all the way to the bank though.

 

[yodakiller1138]

The NEW GODS because we need a NEW cosmic film saga for people to get excited about, though I'm sure like John Carter people will accuse it of being a ripoff of Star Wars.

 

[EmergencyLlama]

Spiderman Noir, I like how it could be dark and gritty and badass. I think he would be a cool twist on the classic red and blue spidey. Just look at him. Don't you think this would be a must see movie?

 

[Sundowner]

Power Girl. Do I need to say more? lol

 

[familyman]

Superman for me. I would love to direct a superman movie.

 

[Vinom11]

Superman for me too. The man of steel has not been enjoying as much popularity lately and I think a movie based off this concept would work. Supes being conflicted over whether he should continue to save and protect a resentful public. Showing a more human and vulnerable side.
