Should a Plastic Man movie be comedy, serious or something in between?

[The Overlord]

Should a Plastic Man movie be comedy, serious or something in between? I don't think you can do Plastic Man just as a comedy, because Plastic Man would mainly be just slap stick comedy, which wouldn't appeal to modern audiences, but shouldn't just be serious either, because comedy is a part of Plastic Man.

Iron Man was able to combine drama and comedy well, so perhaps Plastic Man can do the same. I think the villain would have to be serious, so I would suggest using some B-list DC crime lord, rather then say Dr. Dome.

 

[The Guard]

A combination of both. Eel O'Brian's past and struggles with his nature lend themselves to some drama.

 

[Breogan]

Comedy with some twisted dark humor and pathos.
Pretty much Jim Carrey is missing his calling to have played Eel O'Brian.

I agree. Steve Carell (or even Johnny Depp) would do a great job as well.

 

[The Morningstar]

It should be similar to The Mask. But more violent and with a cruder sense of humour.

 

[SlamAdams]

Definitely something in between. Sort of like Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead. Most of the zombie stuff was pretty legit, but it wasn't afraid to crack a joke.

 

[Spider - Man]

Read the wachowski bros script. It is perfection.
