So superhero movies are probably the biggest box office draw going these days. Don't get me wrong, I love them. Frankly I'm impressed Marvel has been able to pull off what they have.

The Guardians of the Galaxy movie is probably the furthest any superhero movie has gone into how weird comics can get. It pleases me no end to see Rocket Raccoon and Groot come to life.

However, DC and Marvel have been making comics for a long time, and not every story that has come down the pike has been good. Or even made sense. There are some stories I would love see come to life on film that will never, ever happen.

But it'd be great. For example, I would pay good money to see a movie made of this:



And while we have not seen Advanced Idea Mechanics show up in a Marvel movie yet, it is still my dream to see this fellow enshrined in film:



So what weird, strange corridors of comic-dom would you like to see made into a movie?

I'd kinda enjoy seeing the New Fantastic Four get together for a movie.

A.I.M was in Iron Man 3

Sticking with the established characters with movies already, I'd love to see a Thor sequel/spin-off with Beta Ray Bill.


Of course, being the kaiju fan that I am, I'd love to see Marvel films based of of their old monster books like Fing Fang Foom


I'm kind of getting that, because that's where Groot  (whose in Guardians of the Galaxy) is originally from, but there's so many great old crazy monsters from that time, there could be a whole separate line devoted to them.

I had completely forgotten about that. MODOK and Fin Fang Foom are two of my favorite characters. Literally, two of my computers are named after them.

It's never going to happen, but I can wish they will.

I also want to see one of the movies use Arcade as a villain.  How could you not love a crazed wisecracking guy in a disco era leasuire suit that uses a murderous themepark to carry out assassinations?

I have always wanted to see a movie about my favorite DC character of all time: LOBO!



Rob Zombie has the build and the look to pull it off, but I don't think he has the acting chops to capture the character properly.

What better story to use for a movie than the Lobo Christmas story that is a take-off of Heart Of Darkness in which the Easter Bunny hires Lobo to sneak into the North Pole and take down a psychotic Santa?!?!



And to my surprise, there is a short fan film--definitely not safe for work (language and some violence):

The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special (2002) Small | Large

CREATURE COMMANDOES



A group of soldiers are turned into monsters in a project that's part Captain America's origin part extreme psychological warfare project. 

And they fight Nazis in World War II... and sometimes Dinosaurs. 

Tell me you wouldn't watch this movie.

Ozzymandias speaks: I've wanted an Inferior Five cartoon. It should be retro style like the stuff from SNL. The Five at the end of every show performs a bubble gum rock song. Also, at the end of the story the villain must always say, as he is lead away by the cops, "I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids."


Ozzymandias has spoken!!!

For movie ideas (maybe a TV series) there's the entire series of "What If..." Comics.

The Grant Morrison run on Doom Patrol would really suit a treatment from Del Toro:



Preacher is potentially coming to tv so I'll hold fire on that one.

No idea how it would work [or ever get greenlit due to the mature rating it would no doubt receive but Transmetropolitan would be incredible.

I think Luke Cage is coming to TV as part of a Netflix/Marvel deal, so there's that option I guess.

I second a Luke Cage movie, but it's gotta be set in the early 70s and he's gotta sport the bright yellow shirt and chain-link belt combo shown above. BounceGiggle

Luke had the best dialogue in those early issues, he was constantly saying Mr. T.-esque stuff like "Sweeeeeet Christmas! Step aside, suckers, Luke Cage is comin' thru!"  You could tell that he was written by a white guy.  BounceGiggle

Burgomaster, I like your comic book style. Awesome, awesome picks. Almost all comics I also loved.

I'd add the following:



The Spectre



The Question



Animal Man



The Metal Mean



New Gods

Someone mentioned Lobo, how about L.E.G.I.O.N.?


For something on a truly epic grand scale (would probably have to be animated):
