I briefly shared this idea on the forum a while ago, but it's along these lines that I would imagine an adaptation of Jack Kirby's Fourth World...My one hope is that, if we ever got a Golden Age-era project, it would take on the sort of gaudy aesthetic we saw with the Minutemen in Watchmen, Cap’s early suit in The First Avenger, the Batman serials, etc.

Where others probably fantasize about a modern sci-fi blockbuster visually in the vein of Star Wars or the cosmic installment of the MCU, I would love to see Jack Kirby's world treated on screen with, more or less, the cinematic patina of its original era. Give me colorful costumes, high-end makeup, crazy sets, models, old-school matte painting...
It may be difficult to imagine without it seeming ridiculous, but it's all a question of tone and direction. I think there's something truly unique to be done her... but I know it won't happen.
The other thing, and I've shared this several times too but I'm just too much in love with the idea, is a Batman movie that would borrow from Morrison's run and be brought to the screen in a style somewhere between the unapologetic kitsch of the 1960s series and the dark eccentricity of Twin Peaks.
