List of all comic based movies

[Adam3482009]

Over the past few months, I've developed a list of all movies that are based on comic media in some form or another.

It may not come off the most organized but I can always edit it if need be. If you guys see anything that's not on the list that should be on feel free to suggest it so that I can include it. For convenience sake, I've started in the early '90's up until now but may make a seperate listing of movies made at an earlier date some other time. I'll copy and paste the legnthy listings I've made so far (made out of no other reasoning than to keep track of what's been developed over the years by Hollywood).

By looking at this list, you can kind of see a trend in terms of how Hollywood treats these properties. Here you go...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've made a list of television shows inspired by comics. Like the list above I'm starting at 1994. At first I tried putting these in the movie list above but things just got way to complicated so here you go.

I'm putting these TV shows into 4 categories:
-"From Comics" (obviously originating from comics)
-"Shows Premise Deriving from Comics" (self explanatory)
-"Spun into Comics" (originated elsewhere yet later spun into a comic)
-"Loose Connection" (this category I mainly included for no good
reason at all other than to list TV series that aren't connected to
comics yet are connected to other shows that have been spun into
comics)

TV SERIES (note I’m listing series based on the year in which they originally appeared):​

1993:
From Comics:
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman:Season 1 (there were 4 seasons all together that ran until 1997)
1994:
Spun into Comics:
Hercules (5 made for TV movies were made during this time as part of Universal Studio’s “Action Pack”; these led into “Hercules: The Legendary Journey’s” TV series)
1)Hercules and the Amazon Women
2)Hercules and the Lost Kingdom
3)Hercules and the Circle of Fire
4)Hercules in the Underworld
5)Hercules in the maze of the Minotaur (a large portion of this
included previews of the upcoming season)
1995:
Spun into Comics:
Hercules:The Legendary Journeys (ran for 6 seasons from 1995-1999; I mainly included this due to their being comics produced based off this series)

Xena: Warrior Princess (spin-off of Hercules; ran for 6 seasons from 1995-2001; lots of comics based off)

1996:
Loose Connections:
The Adventures of Sinbad (aired for 2 seasons from 1996-1998 following a TV pilot of this same name; the tone of the series was similar to Xena and Hercules)

1997:

Spun into Comics:
Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (series based off of a 1992 made for tv Buffy movie; this series was very successful on the WB network and ran for 7 seasons from 1997-2003)

Loose Connections:
Conan: The Adventurer (originally broadcast just as "Conan"; low budget TV series running 1 season for 22 episodes from 1997-1998; this was made in the same vein as Xena and Hercules; note while Conan’s appeared in many media outlets there wasn’t a comics series done based off this TV series)

1999:
Spun into Comics:
Angel (a popular series on WB that was a spin-off of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer; this ran for 5 seasons from 1999-2004)

Loose Connections:
Beastmaster (TV series that ran from 3 seasons from 1999-2002 loosely based off of a 1982 MGM movie; somewhat similar tone to what originally in hercules and xena; while it appeared on local TV during the weekends it seems to have a bit of a sci-fi element kind of like the cornily done "Journey to the Center of the Earth" Hallmark movie or "Sheena" seres around at this time)

[Superman]

You might be interested in my Yahoo groups if you want an ideal of just how many live action comic book based movies and TV shows there are all around the world.

Just click on my sigs.

 

[Adam3482009]

Thanks! This thread just sunk faster than a ship anchor. Glad to see someones actually interested in this sort of thing. I'll check it out!

 

[Chris Wallace]

I thought Constantine was considered a DC property.

 

[CFE]

It is...and it's part of the Vertigo line, along with 'V for Vendetta.'

Nice list, even though it's incomplete...you've got the majority of it though. Great job

EDIT: Oh I see, you purposefully left out everything pre-94...

 

[Chris Wallace]

V I knew about; it bears the logo, as does "Watchmen".

 

[CFE]

I was pretty sure Constantine did to...sort of in the same style as how Hell was designed for the film.

Doesn't 300 have a Vertigo logo to? I can't remember...

 

[Adam3482009]

Hey guys!

I edited my list abit and put Constantine under DC. Hope my "Categories" (DC, Marvel, ect.) make the list more palatable to look at.

I have some other stuff that I can add as well such as an animation section but I have to clean it up abit before putting it in.

Also, I know noone's asked this but in regards to my list:
1)In regards to my Anime section, I mainly tried to include movies that had a theatrical release in the U.S. Sometimes if I felt there was a movie adaptation popular enough (like Ichi the Killer, which I don't think was really released in the states but is referenced by various directors such as Quentin Tarantino and popular in Japan), I added that as well. I know that anime is a huge genra so I tried to stick to some sort of logic when putting down adaptations from this category to make so that it doesn't look like too much of a mess when glancing at.

2) All animated stuff was only included if it had a theatrical release (like I said above hopefully I can make a seperate section for this since there's alot of direct-to-video stuff like Mask of the Phantasm that's alot better than alot of Theatrical tripe).

3) I may have gone a bit out of bounds in some areas. Video game/cartoon/or toy based movies are a tricky area since there are often times comics based that are based off this (or at least influenced by) these other mediums. Maybe I'll have to fix the list up abit and insert "Videogame" or "Cartoon" categories (for instance Tomb Raider has an ongoing comic book but would be listed under video game since that's where the character first appeared).
Please let me know if there's anything I've missed or something that should be taken off,

Thanks!

 

[Chris Wallace]

Phantom, 96.
I don't think "League" is a DC property.
I don't see "Birds Of Prey" anywhere.

 

[Adam3482009]

Thanks alot!

I've added Phantom (from '96), Lois and Clark, Smallville, Birds of Prey, and the Aquaman TV pilot. I also added Xena, Hercules, and young Hercules (don't ask me why).

There's more TV shows I guess so I'll just need to make a seperate list for thse (pull the ones I have out from the list above and put in a new one for shows).

 

[CFE]

You also left off "The Crow: Stairway to Heaven" TV Series

Once I've finished my 100 movie countdown, I'll be counting down 50 TV shows. It's a lot of fun to chronicle the progression of this sub genre.

 

[Adam3482009]

Yes it is. You catch onto a lot of nuances that most people don't notice like how characters were treated at one point compared to now.

When I originally started this list, I wanted to leave out the TV shows and kind of tacked a few on as I posted this. Guess it shows. lol

Added what you had listed.

I also added a bunch of TV series connected with Xena and Hercules TV series (in terms of the overall tone) supposedly about robin hood, sinbad, beastmaster, jack of all trades. These were pretty bad and only listed to try and be complete (since xena and hecules had some comics made off them; I don't think any of these spin-off series really did but that's besides the point).

 

[tecnowraith]

Okay your list is kinda flawed that you tv shows for movie list for and movies and tv show were not based comic, manga or anime. Like Beastmaster, which was not linked with hercules or xena and its not based on a comic or manga, Its based a scifi novel. The Iron Giant is not anime, its made by Warner Bros. and it's based off a novel not a comic.

You have movies based off cartons shows with no ties to comics and movie based video games. Try to make one list that fits the title or people will get get confused.

 

[p4poetic]

Correction -- 'Hercules the Legendary Journeys' (which started off as 5 two hour telemovies, than into a series) started in 1994, and 'Xena: Warrior Princess' aren't based on any comic books. They're based on Greek mythology. They started making comics afterward. Just like Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a 'season 8' in the form of comic books.

I wouldn't separate each category with subcategories with DC, Marvel, etc. Maybe put them in parenthesis?

Its funny, the other day I was thinking of making a list of superhero comic book movies by year.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Doesn't 300 have a Vertigo logo to? I can't remember...

Yes, it did, actually.

 

[Adam3482009]

Okay your list is kinda flawed that you tv shows for movie list for and movies and tv show were not based comic, manga or anime. Like Beastmaster, which was not linked with hercules or xena and its not based on a comic or manga, Its based a scifi novel. The Iron Giant is not anime, its made by Warner Bros. and it's based off a novel not a comic.

You have movies based off cartons shows with no ties to comics and movie based video games. Try to make one list that fits the title or people will get get confused.

It's tough to make a list. Once I got going and listed all the obvious things got trickier since certain genras can cross into comics quite easily(cartoons, toys, anime, and even whole movie genras like action/adventure/mystery can leak into and feed each other). I'd like to have all stuff under "comic movies" have an origin specifically based in comics. Then have seperate categories for stuff that originated based off a videogame that later fed into comics (like Tomb Raider) or cartoons that later fed into comics (like GI Joe). Also, I'm going to have to edit the "TV shows" into a seperate list. I'm on it.

Like I mentioned earlier, I'm going to have to edit this in the coming days. Right now, I'm just adding everything that people mention.

Correction -- 'Hercules the Legendary Journeys' (which started off as 5 two hour telemovies, than into a series) started in 1994, and 'Xena: Warrior Princess' aren't based on any comic books. They're based on Greek mythology. They started making comics afterward. Just like Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a 'season 8' in the form of comic books.

I wouldn't separate each category with subcategories with DC, Marvel, etc. Maybe put them in parenthesis?

Its funny, the other day I was thinking of making a list of superhero comic book movies by year.

I think the sub-categories are a great idea for the obvious categories (Marve, DC) but do get a bit foggy outside of that so I seperated them into what I thought was easiest (Hollywood based, Public/Classic, Anime, Independent). I think this is a better idea than parentheses since this allows one to breifly scan a list by category and take it in easier.

I'm going to add Buffy the Vampire Slayer under my TV shows category (with all the rest of the TV shows above). I'll seperate TV shows into 2 categories of those that originated from comics and those that had comics spun off of them.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Thanks alot!

I've added Phantom (from '96), Lois and Clark, Smallville, Birds of Prey, and the Aquaman TV pilot. I also added Xena, Hercules, and young Hercules (don't ask me why).

There's more TV shows I guess so I'll just need to make a seperate list for thse (pull the ones I have out from the list above and put in a new one for shows).

They actually filmed the Aquaman pilot? I didn't know that.

 

[Adam3482009]

Just got back on a bit ago fixed the list up.

I took all TV series off and placed into their own category on my first post above. This should be alot easier to read and I also used 4 categories for my TV section to help clarify why I added the shows that I added.

Thanks to the person that suggested Buffy, I was able to put this into the TV list along with "Angel".


Few Things I will fix on the movie list later:
-A category for cartoons that later spun into comics
-A category for Video Games that later spun into comics
-look through some of the suggestions in the posts above and make more edits
-A seperate section (from the movie list and TV list) focusing
on Animated features

 

[Chris Wallace]

I think all the videogames you listed spun into comics. I know MK, Street Fighter & Double Dragon did.

 

[Adam3482009]

Comic based movie lists can become a tricky thing especially once you start to include stuff that was later spun into comics (like Xena, Buffy, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, ect.). Glad to hear that the videogames for the most part are nailed down somewhat.


Anyway, I made a number of corrections in the list above:
-I put the Iron Giant under "Hollywood" category (it was based off
of a book but did have a superheroey element plus the rights to
the Incredibles was purchased from a guy involved with this movie)

-While the concept behind Beastmaster was based off of an old
movie and book, the TV series carried over in tone (production
value, creative team, ect.) from the earlier daytime action series
such as Xena and Hercules. However, this show did seem to
borrow a more sci-fi element as well (like that seen in Sheena or
the Hallmark based TV movie Journey to the Center of the Earth).

-I put 300 and Sin City under the DC category and kept League
under the DC category (DC was the one behind the movie; Alan
Moore obviously is not too happy with it).

-Yes they did film an aquaman pilot (played by the same guy
playing the GreenArrow in Smallville). I read that you could view
it for free off of Itunes.



Edit:
I just added some new categories for videogames and cartoons (that have been spun into comics/comic strip of some form) and put all these movies under these categories in the "movie list".

Also, I already have an animation list that I can copy and paste up but it just needs to be cleaned up abit.

Your suggestions are very much appreciated. I'll keep editing and adding stuff based on any advice.

Thanks!

Adam

 

[Adam3482009]

I wasn't able to add the animation list to my first post (the boards won't allow me due to legnth issues).


I've made a list for animated features based off of comicbooks as well. This list doesn't include features that had a theatrical release (with the exception of "Mask of the Phantasm", which I'm including here since I'd like to list all info. related to the Batman Animated series here).
Unlike the lists above, I've gone back to 1988 for this one:

1988:
Series:
Marvel Action Universe (a television block of cartoons from "Marvel Productions"; lasted 1 season before cancelation)
"Dino-Riders" (mainly acted as a promotion for a new Tyco toy
line; made up first 1/2 hour)

"Robo-Cop: The Animated Series"-made up 2nd half hour

"Spider-Man and His Amazing Freinds"-some markets ran a
3rd half hour segment (these were re-runs from the 1981 series
of spiderman, firestar, and iceman living at empire state
university as freinds battling bad guys)

1989:
One shot:
Pryde of the X-men (a tv pilot for an X-men cartoon that was repetively poor received between 1989-1992 on each airing; aired on the "Marvel ACtion Universe" television block)

1992:
Series:
Batman the Animated Series (aired for 3 seasons with 85 episodes from 1992-1995; when the series was moved to a weekend timeslot on it's last season, it was called "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" since the last episodes included Robin; shows weren't really made in exact order so DVD just seperated them into "3 seasons")

1993:
Series:
X-men (2nd most successful series on Fox kids behind Batman that had debuted on this network; episodes aired in 5 seasons from 1993-1997)

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (aired on CBS Kids in the USA from 1993 to 1994. It is the brainchild of Mark Schultz, who originally created the series in comic book format under the title Xenozoic Tales in 1986. The television series came to be through the marketing of Marvel Comics)

One Shot:
Batman Mask of the Phantasm (animated movie that was meant to be direct-to-video but ended up getting a theatrical release)

1994:
Series:
Spider-Man: The Animated Series (ran 5 seasons from 1994-1998 for 65 episodes; couple of these had the X-men characters in it)

Marvel Actioin Hour (a single television block from "Marvel Productions Ltd" or "Marvel Films"; in some countries was given the name "Marvel Action Universe" again; the cartoons were rather different and each one had an introduction beforehand by Stan Lee for the 1st season):
Iron Man (this made up the first half hour; aired from 1994-
1996 with 26 episodes for 2 seasons)

Fantastic Four (this made up the 2nd half hour; aired from
1994-1996 with 26 episodes for 2 seasons)

The Incredible Hulk (re-runs of the live actioin show were
shown in the UK between Iron Man and the Fantastic Four in order
to bring everything up to a full hour in legnth since BBC doesn't
run commercials between shows)
The Tick (ran from 1994-1997 for 3 seasons; would've been more but Fox cancelled)

1996:
Series:
Superman: The Animated Series (ran on the WB television network under "Kids WB" for 3 seasons from 1996-2000; note like alot of WB shows at this time many episodes aired out of order so there really was no set order shows appeared in a "Season")- these along with old batman cartoon (and new episodes that would come in 1997) ran under the "batman and superman" hour called "Worlds Finest"

The Incredible Hulk (ran 2 seasons on UPN for 21 episodes from 1996-1997)

1997:
Series:
Batman Gotham Knights or also known as "The new batman adventures" (new episodes spinning off of "Batman: The Animated Series" only with a lighter/charming approach lasted from 1997-1998; on DVD it's released as Batman: The Animated Series volume 4)

Your list is flawed to say the least. Akira is 1988 dude, not 1998. That's a full decade wrong. Also if you wanted to start in the early 90's why not list Batman Returns (1992) or The Rocketeer (1991)?
I still don't understand where in the world did you get that Akira is 1998. Unless we are talking about another version or a remake of Katsuhiro Ôtomo's master piece that I don't know of.

Ouch.

All right I took Akira off the list. I don't know a whole lot about anime so this is my weakness. I remember hearing about Akira a while back only vaguely.

I'm not publishing this. It's just something I'm trying to organize together for myself and anyone else whose interested in this but doesn't have the time for it.
I'm always adjusting this from time to time. I'll get the earlier dates put in sometime as well (note that I have added some pretty big addition sections lately as well).

I've posted what I have to see if anyone's interested and to hold an ongoing discussion. If someone finds something wrong, feel free to point it out. Also, if someone wants to copy my list (I know this would be a lot less time consuming) and add additional info./corrections of thier own, feel free.
