The DC character YOU want to see have a film

[Nightwing]

This thread is only for the hero/heroes you'd like to see on the big screen, and who in your mind would like to see direct and write the film. Of course pick your actor you'd like to see portray the hero, and if you want cast their supporting characters if you can find an actor or actress for that role aswell. I'm sure we'd all like a hero to get a film, but theres a chance it might not happen.

Like mine.

Martian Manhunter, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

Considering Shyamalan has had experience with alien type films (Signs), I think he'd be a perfect fit for a comic film based on the Martian. Reason I also chose him as the writer was cause he also wrote Signs which had an excellent script, along with being a decent film IMO.

My cast.

For the role of MM I'd cast either Nathan Fillion or Dominic Purcell, both actors IMO would play both sides of the Martian and his human form detective John Jones when not playing hero very well along with having the type of alien look required for the role.

Pictures.

Dominic Purcell

Bottom line is I'd kill to see a Manhunter film on the big screen, he's just one of the heroes I think can have a decent comic film brought to life straight out of the books.

Feel free to write down all your ideas for the hero flicks you'd like to see about a certain character you enjoy, DC only since they have TONS of heroes that could be made into movies.

[Kane]

Ill just copy my post from that previous thread here since its relevant:

I think these are the most marketable movie choices for DC to make in the future:

2008 - Summer Release: The Flash (has alot of Summer hype potential)

2008 - Winter Release: Batman 2 Sequel (after all the praise for BB, this will make money whenever it is)

2009 - Early Spring/Late Winter: The Watchmen

2009 - Summer: Superman Sequel (to Returns)

2009 - Winter: Shazam! (around Christmas)

2010 - Early Spring/Late Winter: The Question

2010 - Summer: The Green Lantern

2010 - Winter: The Golden Age (A WW2 epic featuring the classic JSA superheroes, a movie that really humanizes them and makes them into legends).


I think that lineup would be very successful. As far as Martian Manhunter goes, I think he should simply just appear in the first JLA movie (just the original 5, without Bat/Supes). The character is just so intergrated into the JLA mythos, he'd be more successful as the frontrunning character of that franchaise.

I think the third movie of the Batman and Superman franchaises should be the Batman/Superman movie in 2011. Theres so much market potential there. It could make soooo much.

[Nightwing]

2009 - Winter: Shazam! (around Christmas)

Shazam! is a hero flick I'd like to seealso, in fact it could be the film Richard Donner could be planning to do with Geoff Johns. Theres a slight chance it could happen, and I for one hope it does. If it's not, I'm all in for Green Lantern.

2010 - Early Spring/Late Winter: The Question

This is a film that I think could do really well if brought to life. Question's popularity keeps growing on fans, also people who have never heard of him. Mainly cause of JLU where the character was well played by Jeffrey Combs, which he did awesome in. The film could revolve mainly on some heavy mystery as he sets out to find the answers to things he can only do as Question, and then see his other side as tv reporter Vic Sage.

There was another thread on the Batman Sequels forum where I said the exact same thing. The JLA could be formed, but missing one member to make it the big seven, which would be the Martian. What I had said was that they could find him during a certain mission in a lab like in Justice Leauge when he was in his alien form, and then transfered to a a rather more human look. Maybe my idea can be brought up after he's properly introduced in a JLA film, and then make a spin off film for the character...

[SpiderTime]

i want to see an infinite crisis movie and a countdown to infinite crisis with the death of blue beetle. that could be really epic.

[SpiderTime]

come to think of it, i might just do it.

[Nightwing]

i want to see an infinite crisis movie and a countdown to infinite crisis with the death of blue beetle. that could be really epic.

I was actually thinking they'd do something like that for a JLU episode. It could be like a 3 or 4 part story. For a film though it might be possible, but it'd be REALLY difficult to do IMO. I agree, it would be a real epic for the DCU characters. Personally though, I don't see it happening for alot of years to come.

Hmmm I dont know if thats really fair to the character and the source material though. MM should be the one who forms the JLA, not the missing member. I dont know if the big 7 is the way to go though. They should start with the original 5:

Martian Manhunter

Hal Jordan (who appears in the first GL movie but then passes the torch on to another GL for the 2nd)

Barry Allen (who appears in Goyer's Flash movie apparently but Wally takes over in his film, meaning Barry could join this if hes still alive).

Aquaman

Black Canary

This way, the JLA movie can be done pretty soon. Maybe around 2012 while Batman and Superman can still have their teamup movie World Finest around the same time.

By the 2nd JLA movie, the team can be reorganized into the big 7 if necessary.

[cabel]

Green Arrow

The Question(I'm actually working on a treatment, sort of, research is scarce)

Nightwing/Teen Titans (unfortunatley that requires Robin be introduce to Batman Contunuity first)

Justice League

Green Lantern

Jonah Hex

Shazam!

[Nightwing]

Guys, this thread is not for listing the films you want to see even though they'd be kickass and all. It's about doing what I did in my first post, thats why its different then the other thread made. Pick a certain character you enjoy and assemble your cast in your own thoughts for some to discuss about, also the right director and writer who YOU think would do a decent job helming the films.

[rnewbz]

I love Dominic Purcell for martain manhunter.

[Nightwing]

I love Dominic Purcell for martain manhunter.

Thankyou, I certainly think he has the look. Plus thats just a picture of him from the show Prison Break where he's bald like the Martian. I've seen plenty of pictures where he has had his hair grow, which would be perfect when undercover as his civilian name, John Jones.

If anyone want to see pictures of Jones, I'll put them up. But they're pretty big...

[The Guard]

Aquaman, Aquaman, Aquaman!

The Question(I'm actually working on a treatment, sort of, research is scarce)


Read Denny O'Neal and Denys Cowan's Question series from the late 80s/early 90s. 36 issues plus three anuals. Great series. And, for a better look at the character's origins, the Question shorts that Steve Ditko wrote and drew for Charlton in the 60s give a good idea fo his early years and earlyer characterization.

[Nightwing]

The Spectre.

Who would you have play him?

well, i have a question, Question . Would you actually cast Jeffery Combs as the Question, given his depiction from JLU?

[The Question]

He's great for the part, but he's currently too old. Vic should be around 35 or 36 in the comics now. If you're starting early in his career, you'll want to cast even younger.

[rnewbz]

The flash
http://www.small-ville.de/michael/michael7.jpg
It should be around the same kind of style as spider-man
I would use Wally as the flash. I think brettt ratner or Goyer should direct it and geoff johns should write it.

Booster Gold would a great superhero comedy with owen wilson as booster.

[Mee]

DC doesn't need to flood the genre with crap like Marvel is doing. I mean Namor and Ant-Man movies? No thanks. For DC they should stick to Bats, Supes, WW, Flash, and maybe JLA. No movie for a character is better than a bad one. Ask Catwoman fans.

[GL1]

John Stewart

Dick Grayson

Static/Virgil Hawkins

The Authority

I need no other movies...

[Ben Breeck]

I would say Doom Patrol, but the original would seem to combine the most obvious aspects of X-Men and Fantastic Four, while the Seventies version, which stood more on its own, is just too obscure to the public.

How about Suicide Squad, Especially to go against Marvel doing a Thunderbolts or Ultimates movie?

Transmetropolitan would be a good one, as would (with the recent spate of vampire films) Bite Club. I do believe that Brian K. Vaughn is pitching Y: The Last Man to Warner Bros. Then we have The Losers and Hard Time.

We might even be able to spin Gotham Central out of Batman Begins or some sequel.

[The Guard]

Who would you have play him?

Jim Caviezel.

[cerealkiller182]

He's great for the part, but he's currently too old. Vic should be around 35 or 36 in the comics now. If you're starting early in his career, you'll want to cast even younger.

How important is his Vic part of his character. Do we need to see Vic because if you can keep the mask on Combs would be perfect? I dont know much about The Question past JLU but he was real cool in JLU.

[The Question]

It is a big part pf his character, seeing as how he is Vic. We'd mis out on alot if we never saw him in the newsroom or writing up one of his tirades or behaving like the mutant hybrid of Jon Stewart, Hunter S. Thompson, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone that he is.

[Nightwing]

Jim Caviezel.

Thats great casting.

[KaptainKrypton]

Captain Marvel
I could see a beefed up Jerry O'Connell playing him. O'Connell tested for Superman but wasn't given it of course. I think he has the lighthearted nature to pull off the role of a naive superhero befitting of Mr. Batson (see: My Secret Identity). For Black Adam I'd say maybe Jason Isaacs with a tan or somebody else who is good at embodying a total scumbag.

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Casting for this one would be tough for me. But for Hal Jordan (I know many will disagree with me) but I could probably see Clive Owen sporting the ring.

Now thats what I'm talking about. He's not my first choice, but I could see O'Connell for Marvel any day. He certainly has a decent build and if he wanted to, get slightly bigger if ever considered/cast. I don't really know any other actor that could play the part, I may have one or two in mind...For Batson, I'd go with Carter Jenkins for the show Surface. IMO that would be great casting, I'm getting chills down my spine just picturing the kid screaming out SHAZAM! It's something I could see very clearly. As for Isaacs as Black Adam, I would have no problem with that. He wouldn't necessarily have to have a tan though...

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Casting for this one would be tough for me. But for Hal Jordan (I know many will disagree with me) but I could probably see Clive Owen sporting the ring.

Clive Owen IMO, could play a decent Sinestro. Even though Guy Pearce would be my choice, to me he's the one who shares a good resemblence to the character. But it's your opinion.

Jim Caviezel is my choice for Hal.

I figured Isaacs would have to have a tan because I guessed Adam was of Egyptian descent (or at least his abilities) and he appeared to have more olive skin in some of his recent JSA appearances. Guy Pearce could also play Hal, I think. I could always see a few different guys that could probably fit the bill for Hal very easily and still make the movie rock. These characters need movies badly. I remember hearing somewhere that Cap's rights were possibly headed to NewLine so as not to lump him in as a direct WB copy of Superman. Whatever the case, he needs a damn movie...bad.

Well these are my choices for SHAZAM!

Shazam!

This is GREAT casting Q, either him or Jason Isaacs resemble Adam the most.

[DarKush]

Don't hate me for this,

But I say why not the Wonder Twins (from the Superfriends Cartoon)? I think it would be a cool comedic movie. Put Vince Vaughn in it, find a funny actress to costar with him, and maybe a CGI Gleek. They could be like the C-list superhero team, similar to the Mystery Men.

Hell, why not do a Mystery Men type of movie with some of the second bananas from the Superfriends, or the DCU fighting against a modified version of the Legion of Doom after the "real" heroes have mysteriously vanished?

I think the Flash and Green Lantern are the next logical choices after Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Ryan Reynolds would make a good Flash (Wally West more than Jay Garrick or Barry Allen), and the Green Lantern should be either Hal Jordan or John Stewart.

Also, wouldn't mind seeing Cyborg in a Smallville spin off, or a DTV movie.

[Kane]

The cyborg on Smallville sucked. His armor was beneath his skin... wheres the coolness in that?

Martian has always been one of my favorite characters, I'd love to see a film adaption some time as I've previously said. It could be about his coming to Earth and his understanding of how civilization is completely different from that of which he born to on his home planet Mars, afterwords is when he establishes his own detective agency where he uses his alias of John Jones. I'm going to be picking up the new 8 issue mini he'll have in August.

Yeah, I read about that, sounds great. I haven't read any recent comics in a few years, but I'm going to have to make an effort to pick that up.

Do you mind sharing?

Well, I do intend on making this movie one day (pending on whether or not film school goes well and everything, lol) so I'm not going to post everything on the board. I've actually been jotting down some of the ideas lately, which has naturally evolved into eight pages of outline for barely the first 1/4 of the film.

The film takes some liberties with the character and the mythology, but nothing too extravagant. Basically it involves J'onn J'onzz returning to Mars after spending some time on Earth, when he gets back everyone on his planet is dead from a plague. He returns to Earth and that's when the story has some interesting developments that I'd prefer not to state here. If you're interested in hearing more, let me know and I'd be happy to PM some more to you.

Absolutely, when I get the chance I'll PM you a little outline of the outline I'm working on. I think it's a pretty compelling and entertaining rendition of his origin and I have some pretty extraordinary thrills for the second half of the flick.

If I forget to PM you the outline before the weekend, don't hesitate to PM me and remind me.

Do you have a certain threat for him to go up against? Also, there's no rush.

[Threshold]

Do you have a certain threat for him to go up against?

Yeah, there is a specific threat that he has to go up against, but the threat isn't the same as what Lex Luthor is to Superman or what Doc Ock is to Spider-Man. This threat changes his entire life, changes the meaning of his purpose to be alive, without ever encountering him. J'onn then blindly seeks this threat out, mostly seeking retribution, but also seeking information. He wants to know why this thing did what it did to him, what it's purpose is. It's a very complex relationship that J'onn has with his "nemesis" and there is no easy answer that it can give him to settle his anger. I'm being vague again, but I hope this makes some sense.

Also, there's no rush.

Yeah, but I'll just forget after a day or so if I don't get a reminder.

Starman

Alternative off-the-wall suggestion for director: Paul Thomas Anderson.

This, is one great idea. And yes, I understood perfectly.

Personally, I was thinking he could face this creature that survived the explosition of Mars as did J'onzz, he just doesn't know it yet. MM's has been shown to have a sensitive weakness to fire in the comics, so I was thinking the enemy he would face would have some control of fire that J'onzz would have to end up finding a way to divert it.

But, I like your idea more.

The Question.

And a couple of years ago, I would have loved to see a real Hellblazer movie. With a blond haired englishman. Anyone who isn't Keanu. That's not to say that I didn't like Constantine, but I'd still like to see a more strict adaption of the comic Constantine.

[Donnie Darko]

I really wanted Paul Bettany to be John Constantine

A Suicide Squad movie (I'd like a TV series more, but a movie would still be great), or a solo Deadshot movie.

Jonah Hex would be awesome on screen.

A Question movie would be sweet too, as would a creeper movie.

Plastic Man would be hilarious.

Forget movies.

I want The Question as a TV series on NBC.


A Law and Order/CSI style detective show with The Question outside the law doing his own investigations and an enemy/friend of the cops.

Dammit....that's a GREAT idea!!!! Clint Eastwood as Jonah Hex!!!!!

It would've been a good idea a few years ago. Hes pretty old now. Like uber old. Like should never do an action movie again old. He'd be great in the director's chair though. If you want an old Hex Lance Henriksen would be good, but i think hes too old also. I think Sean Bean would be best if he lost the accent, but Cole Hauser might not be that bad either. All good actors being based basically on the facial features and voices (all very deep and easily can be made gritty like Eastwoods)

[Kane]

You, my friend, are a very smart man. And, I know who I'd cast:


The Question: Nathan Fillion

http://i.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/021002/12505__firefly_l.jpg




lol Yes. Obviously Fillion as The Question, he's the only one I'd keep from that list. The rest are cool but dont seem practical for TV.

I'd definately cast a male and female cop duo akin to Det Benson and Stabler (SVU). The male officer forges a Commisioner Gordon/Batman-like relationship with The Question and they are allies...and enemies..as Question is a wild card who operates outside the boundaries of the police.

The idea came to me thanks to 'Rorschach,' upon reading The Watchmen in university, that character really stood out in my profs lectures to the audience and became very popular dur to his unique dialouge and prespective mainly.

Its one angle for Police/Crime dramas that hasnt been explored on TV and I think the Vic Sage character could capture that same love/hate relationship TV watchers have with Dr House....because hes so borderline. He could be very marketable.

The show would be very hardcore and edgy though. 10pm airings; Murder, Rape, Abduction, Prostitution, Sex Crimes, Crime Syndicates and Soprano-style mafias, etc..

I'd definately cast a D.A. character also and perhaps John Jones as another detective. The other characters from The Question mythos could show up throughout the course of the series....but the mystical-based characters would be reinvented to be as 'real' as possible (like Ras Al Gual in Batman Begins).

In a similar style as 24, the show could slowly build up to some kind of larger plot or Govt conspiricy in the end; Vic seems to love those.

Each episode could end with some kind of moral/ethical question being raised... thus giving new meaning to the title "The Question".

How so?

Well, the only cop in the comics was Izzy O'Toole. A dirty cop with a bit of a consciance. Sort of like Bruce Willis' character in 16 blocks. The Question saved his life a few times, and they soon forged a partnership.

The idea came to me thanks to 'Rorschach,' upon reading The Watchmen in university, that character really stood out in my profs lectures to the audience and became very popular dur to his unique dialouge and prespective mainly.

Well, The Question isn't Rorschach. Not completely. Rorschach is The Question after fighting for 20 years to keep a city from going to hell and failing at every turn. He's alot more cynical and alot crazyer. But one could show signs of Rorschach in The Question when things get really bad.

Its one angle for Police/Crime dramas that hasnt been explored on TV and I think the Vic Sage character could capture that same love/hate relationship TV watchers have with Dr House....because hes so borderline. He could be very marketable.

Oh, most definately. The whole apeal of Vic is that he's a total jackass. He's rude, unapolagetic, and causes trouble so the truth can get out. I tend to describe The Question as "Hunter S. Thompson meets The Shadow."

The show would be very hardcore and edgy though. 10pm airings; Murder, Rape, Abduction, Prostitution, Sex Crimes, Crime Syndicates and Soprano-style mafias, etc..

Well, there was never a D.A. character in the comics. Vic's only other regular confidant was Proffesor Rodor, who made his mask for him. And what mystical based characters do you speak of? Shiva and Dragon are certainly not mystical based. Shiva is an assasin who, when hired by the local mobs, beat the **** out of Vic, and Richard was the guy who taught him how to fight. Nothing mystical there.

In a similar style as 24, the show could slowly build up to some kind of larger plot or Govt conspiricy in the end; Vic seems to love those.

Could be cool. A major plot line in his DC series was that some ultra conservative who borderlines on being a nazi was running for mayor, and was somehow going to win.

Each episode could end with some kind of moral/ethical question being raised... thus giving new meaning to the title "The Question".

Possibly. Shouldn't do that too much, though. Series might start to get too preachy. However, in the letters section of his DC series, there was a recomended reading list at the back. Had stuff like Sin Tzu and the like.

Oh nevermind. I misread one of the characters actually as something else. Ya, they can use alot of those characters; the actors, however, dont seem that realistic for a TV project like this...maybe only Chuck Norris (he would bring alot of attention to the show).

As far as the moral stuff goes, I dont think Id write it in a 'preachy' way? If I did...the 'Question' would be answered. It should just raise an issue and leave it up to the interpretation of the viewer.

I think Rorschach and Question are similar enough though, Yes Kovacs is off his rocker (alot more insane than Question) but Question seems like a better balance between sanity and extreme behavior, which would need to work in order for the audience to understand the character better.

If they focus on the mob underworld for some time, the show could take a Sopranos-angle too.

The cop should definately be O'Toole (like Gordon, hes one of the few honest cops in a corrupt force...which can tie into the conspiricy later).

i would like to see a big barda movie...with elastic man for comic relief.

Well, Kelsey Grammer's character wouldn't be reocouring. Just an early villain. Really, the only ones who would have major trouble would be Baldwin and Weisz. And really, they don't seem to have done much lately.

Fair point.

Very true.

That could be cool.

Very true. Still, they shouldn't have him start out as unscrupleous and rightious. He should start as the guy who looks the other way when the other cops are into the corruption, and even help with a slightly guilty consciance. Through the series, he would grow and become a bit more rightious.

Actually I thought of it the other way around. Have him start off as moral and strong in a corrupt world. A man with faith, a Catholic..whatever. Then overtime, as he witnesses the evil in the world and the sick stuff he sees, a rage slowly builds up inside of him and there are times when he looses control; becomes a man on the edge.

If he didnt have his job, his boss, his partner, his wife and kids in his life keeping him stable, he'd be just like the murderers he goes after.

[The Question]

Except, that's not Izzy. Izzy was a dirt cop. He looked the other way and he took bribes. Over time, The Question helped him to become a better cop.

elements of the comic and the cartoon together

[The Question]

Way I see it, just go with the comic. It was better than the cartoon by far.

[ghost113]

but the costume in the cartoon was a little cooler and certain aspects of it was cool.
