I’ve heard rumors they might be doing Shazam, but definitely not Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam. ---

[Star Brand](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/star-brand/4050-3652/) might be interesting, especially if they include him accidentally nuking Pittsburgh. Sure seems like a Power Pack movie would be something someone would want to make (draw in the pre-teen demographic) and while googling to see if one was in the works, I discovered that they [made](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME8xvz2iHKQ) [a](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb0vWUlWY3s) [pilot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYtl-he0O8k) for a Power Pack TV series back in 1991 and somehow I missed it. ---

The Ron Ely Doc Savage was campy, and a lot less fun than it tried to be. The Shadow, with Alec Baldwin, was better but still a misfire. Having a star who didn’t hate being in the movie would have made it better yet. Howard Chakin did a really great humorous version of The Shadow. I wouldn’t mind seeing that version. As for Doc Savage I just don’t see them ever doing it right. I know it’s not a comic but I really want to see a movie of Cthulhu Saves the Universe. 😉 ---

He’s everything a superhero ought to be. “You want I should bop you with this lollipop?” I’ve never read it, but I recall that line from reading the cover when I was a kid. I’d like to see a mini series based on Moore’s “Miracleman” where the super beings pretty much take over, and we see stories of what that world is like (ala Aprocrypha). I’d love a movie or Netflix series based on Denny O’Neil’s run on The Question, when it was all Zen philosophy and detective work in doomed Hub City. ---

The Legion of Super Heroes, definitely. But it’s got to be the cheesy one I remember from the 12cent and 15cent comic books. What they’ve morphed into is not appealing at all. ---

Plastic Man. The movie could be a “_Deadpool_ for kids” film, and, if there’s one thing Pixar has shown us, it’s that kids’ films can be good and respectful of their audiences. After all, silly and stupid are two very different things. ---

He first appeared in Blazing Comics (1944), and was created by Chinese-American cartoonist Chu F. Hing. While the original run of the character lasted only five issues, the Green Turtle is notable for three factors. First, during WWII, the stories represented the Chinese in U.S. popular media as heroic partners fighting the Axis.

The Gene Yuen Lang take on the character was a very good read. (I’d be happy with any Lang adaptation, but only The Green Turtle qualifies for this topic.) ---

It’s just that most longtime fans are unfamiliar with the version of FF it was adapting. And the fact that it was poorly done makes them uninclined to care. ---
