Now although I do not want a Spawn film anywhere nearly as much as I want a amazing Wonder Woman film or an amazing reboot of Green Lantern with Hal Jordan, I do believe this character deserves a very good film treatment.
And why wouldn't he be given one? It seems all developer think about nowadays when developing comic book source material to film is making it "DARK AND GRITTY AND MATURE AND DARK AND GRITTY AND REALISTIC". Spawn is inherently dark as a character, as well as his story and world. His rouges are good, his back story is good, it had mountains of potential.
Though I have much hatred for the 1990's original film, that is neither here nor there. I personally feel the best inspiration for the film would be Todd McFarlane's Spawn, the dark animated series from the late 1990s. If you haven't seen it, I seriously recommend you to. I believe someone edited together all the episodes and split them up into 6 parts on YouTube. Watch them, seriously. So much better than the films.
Anyway, though the series did have some pacing issues, I feel it is the best inspiration. The voice actor, the style, the atmosphere, the way the characters were portrayed, all brilliant and all good inspiration for this film. And Spawn has good rogues as well. For the first film they could do Billy Kincaid, Chapel.
All in all, I feel Spawn is more than worthy of a brilliant film, and his films have A LOT of potential. Anyway, I hope to hell at least some of you are Spawn fans and are willing to share your thoughts, and tits (*I'm glaring at Teabag*)
