Which JSA member do you think could work well in a solo film?

[J.R.]

Fate or Hourman. I am hoping for Jay Garrick to be in the Flash movie if only for a little while, but I doubt that will happen.

I can see Hourman working well on screen, if taken into the right hands. I wouldn't mind if it focused on either Rex or Rick Tyler, though I prefer Rex myself considering he's the original and Rick is his son. If it does focus on Rex however, Rick could make an appearence as a child (though they didn't have the natural 'father son relationship').

I can see the story of him developing the Miraclo pill at first, which enables him to become Hourman. For a short period of time, he's able to have twice the normal rate of strength, agility, durability, and even speed. He soon was nicknamed as "The Man of the Hour", which is something I could also see working well, as his own trademark.

Both Rex and Rick have been shown to be able to stop time slowly. But it's only Rick, who has been shown to have the ability of seeing the future one hour later. Again, if it's Rick the film is based on, that would be another useful element.

That's awesome, the character and the concept would work well if done correctly as you said. Not that many know about him, but i'm sure that wouldn't be a problem. What about villains? I don't really know much about them so would you go the Whedon route and create a villain for him?

Even though I'm willing to give what Whedon has in mind a chance, I'll always believe he could've used her rogues for the film. I honestly don't know what he dislikes about Ares, or any other villan. I wouldn't do the same for any other comic film adaption, unless there was really a reason for it. In my opinion, whoever the villan or villans are, for any film, can be brought to life, if they're done correctly.

Well said, i don't see why he didn't use them either. But who knows, lets wait and see and maybe it will exceed expectations. I'm curious, you seem to make alot of great points, who ould you have direct one of the projects?

Too many to choose from. It's a question of who would take the time to understand the characters, and whether or not they'd feel the need to change things or keep them the way they are.

 

[Superman \S/]

Solid point right there, it's always important for a director to understand a character he/she is adapting for a film.

 

[Kurosawa]

Hawkman. Out of all the ones that have been listed, Hawkman in my opinion is one that can be well made if done right. I like the direction of using Carter Hall as an archeotologist like in the comics, then discovering the ninth metal which enables him to fly and later inspires him to create his symbol. Especially the concept of being reincarnated from an Egyptian prince, along with the villain of the prince being reincarnated as scientist Anton Hastor. Hastor served as the villain for Hall, considering his reincarnation was deprived from the prince's foe, Hath-Set.

Hastor could work well as the villain for the film, and the movie deals back and fourth with the past and present. Even though it'd be an origin film like most hero movies, before moving on to a sequel, I'd love to see Shadow Thief as a villain. He's one of Hawkman's classic villains, and again could work well if done correctly.

There's also the Thanagarian villain, Byth. Who was the recurring villain of the Silver Age Hawkman, Katar Hol.

I agree. If done correctly, Hawkman would make a great, great movie. It's got everything, really.

He really is one of the characters that has the potential, of being in his own film.

What if they made a four film known as The Golden Age, and its like an independant film that puts the emphasis on Golden Age Flash, Green Lantern, Wildcat, and ____________? Fill in the blank. Each character would get a half hour and their stories would cross over like Pulp Fiction or Sin City. I cant see any of these guys getting their own full length movie and being done right, but I can see an Amalgam of the DC Golden age.

Oh yea, this would take place in the past, and for kicks you could have reverences to other DC events, like a newpaper that says like newpapers headlined "10 year old orphan inherits Billion Dollar enterprise" or
"Faust's Arrigo Boito's 'Mefistofle' to go on tour" those fake tabloids saying "Smallville Under Attack! From Outer Space!" or "Weatherballoon crashes over Smallville!"

I'm all for that. Alan doesn't get the respect he deserves. I always thought it'd be cool to have a golden age GL story & have a brief cameo of young Bruce Wayne marveling at the exploits of The Green Lantern as he battles crime in 1940's Gotham City. (Kinda like they did in the Hush arc.)

I would love for a Dr.Mid-Nite movie. But, most non-comic viewers will compare it to Daredevil. So I will go with Dr.Fate.
