Should Joel Schumacher direct another Superhero movie?

[ryankris]

After Batman & Robin, should the infamous Joel Schumacher direct another Superhero movie?

 

[CConn]

Should he? Of course not. Could he? I actually think he could. As long as he has a good set of producers and no studio shouting in his ear to turn into a two-hour commercial for action figures.

 

[Mee]

He probably could make a decent one, not a dark character though, something along the lines of F4 or something. But no one is gonna hire him.

hes suposed to direct wake the dead

 

[Speedball]

I think he could.
Has anyone seen Falling Down?
Imagine his version of the Punisher.
Most of his films are dark and serious.
Batman Forever and B&R only got made because the people in charge of the WB were like the asses over a Fox. They didn't care about quality, just wanted $$$.

 

[Spelunking Man]

Depends what sort of superhero movie he's into, I'd like to see him do Ninja Turtle for a change. But stay off from Batman, Spider-man, Superman, X-Men and other big names!

 

[Mr. Walters]

I think he could.

Falling Down is an excellent movie. One of my favorites. I really like all of Schumacher's stuff except the Batman movies. But I heard it wasn't really his fault.

 

[Spoarz™]

Not after Batman & Robin.

Yeah the wb is as much to blaim of shumacher. I dont know, he at least acknowledges he ****ed up, unlike other directors who made films and said they were gold even when it quickly ended up in the bargin bin.

Similar to what some other posters said, I think he does well with more 'real' or grounded material, such as Falling Down or A Time to Kill.

He's a good director. I'm guessing he might be able to do well with something like Supreme Power, The Shadow, The Spirit, Hitman, Punisher, 100 Bullets, Bite Club, or a superhero comic that is absent of a lot of the gadgets, costumes, etc. like Batman.

I agree.

 

[Mrh7448]

If it was offered to him I wouldn't care. As long as he was familiar with source material and didn't have producers/execs breathing down his neck. I think he could do a decent movie.

He's proven himself as a director with other features.

Schumacher made one great superhero movie, and then made one of the most hated movies of all-time as the follow-up.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

No,he should stay away.I have not even heard from him since the movie`s failure.

Really?

Not Phone Booth?

Not The Phantom of the Opera?

 

[Obi-Ron]

He should be directing cars to pull over from the drive-thru while their McNuggets finish cooking.

 

[<(o_o)>]

He could always do a live action movie based on the Saturday Night Live short: The Ambiguously Gay Duo.

 

[symbioticspaz]

As long as the movie has lots of pretty flourescent colors, and A LOT of bad choices based on the director, I think he could do another movie

 

[sickining]

I picked the fourth option.
