Electra in the Daredevil movie looked nothing like the comic book.
She is supposed to have Black/Raven hair, be more olive skinned, and wear a red outfit / in the movie she is brunette, white/tanned skinned and wears a black outfit. At least the weapons were the same in the comic and in the movie.
I’m afraid you’re wrong.
The 1975 pilot movie: The New Original Wonder Woman closely follows the 1941 origin story of Wonder Woman written by Charles Moulton(actually William Moulton Marston).
The first two episodes of the show featured villains directly from the comic books: The Baronness Paula von Gunther and Fausta Graebels.
Fausta, while only having one appearance in Comic Cavalcade #6(1943 if memory serves), still was directly from the comic books.
Paula was a staple of the Golden Age Wonder Woman; first as an enemy, and then as an ally.
The 14 episodes ABC did were excellent and did a good job of capturing the Golden Age Wonder Woman.
Hell… remember the yellow boxes that would appear in the corner of the screen to show exposition? That was directly from the style of the Golden Age style of the book.
Cathy Lee Crosby’s version deserves to be burned.
How about NC-17!
One advantage that Marvel has that DC does not is that Marvel can shop around their properties to various studios. If they don’t like a pitch they can take the property elsewhere.
Also I just read at the IMDB that the director of the new Superman film just quit.
I’d like to see a Hellblazer movie. It doesn’t need to be high-tech, have a crap load of CGI or anything expensive. It can be done noir style in a London setting. The creepiness would be John Constantine’s willingness to abandon friends and relatives to the sinister otherworlds while trying to figure out how to one-up occultism. Requires good scripting and acting, not billion dollar special effects.
I would also like to see 100 Bullets on the big screen. They should get some hardass old man like Charlton Heston to play Agent Graves, and then round out the cast with talented character actors. The opening montage can be the single story where Graves approaches a dinette waittress and provides her info on her missing daughter and the means to get the bastard back who fucked her up! Then as she shoots the guy responsible while bawling her head off, Graves walks off in the shadows as the opening credits roll. I’m getting chill bumps just thinking about it.
The Wonder Woman Movie was a Pilot/TV Movie, not a Full-Length Movie in the Theatre, while it was true to the comics, that is correct with the villians, the timeframe is lives, her existance and her costume.
