Greetings friends. This has been a question that I have thinking about and I'm sure most have. We are gonna run out of comic book's to make into films, we will have tons of sequels and remakes but at some point they will be searching for bankable titles. Watchmen was one that had a huge history to it, from different casts, directors, scripts, and studios. We finally got it and I enjoyed it for what it was. However, I have thought of the term un-filmable comic, theres plenty of others out there, so heres 5 that I believe will most likely never see the silver screen.
#5. Blue Beetle(DC)- this is a title that has consisted of different people under the mantle. The most recent is Jaime Reyes, a Latino kid who has an alien bio-suit. The problem: too unknown of a character, part of a deeper universe, and a legacy hero.
#4. Teen Titans(DC)- Now theres mention of the film being in development but its been quiet ever since. I loved the cartoon and loved The Judas Contact. The problem: Diverse characters, origins would be abridged, No robin in "nolan"verse, and roster selection
#3.Runaways(Marvel)- sorta of a counter to the teen titans, THe runaways are about a group of kids who find out there parents are all super villains. I only read up the end of the first volume before the skrull invasion and so I don't know what's happened beyond that, but I thought it should have ended there and the characters join other books. The problem: only one is that they are immersed in the main universe. The group has a mutant and an alien girl. They met and fought cloak and dagger and meet captain America. So until a proper and larger universe is established, I can't see this being made soon.
#2. Planetary(Wildstorm)- I'm still reading volume one and so far I find it a hard read but I'm enjoying the complexity. From what I got from this its about an X-file like group deal with anything thats beyond the normal or unexplained. The problem: full of multiverses, complex characters, and not a coherent series(now I'm still reading it, so don't go crazy on me)
#1. MarvelMan(now own by Marvel)- Where do I begin with this. I found a CBR file of this series and was amazed and blown away by this character and series. Its a take off of Captain Marvel and its a violent take of a 50's character in the modern 80's era. This is probably out of all of Moores work to be impossible to make. The problem: its too good as a comic to be made into a film
And those are 5 comic series I read that would like to see but unlikely. Now I'm sure some form of them will be made and hopefully they get the justice of a good adaptation.
