In my life time, it started with Superman in 1978. Then we moved on to Batman in 1989. Then on to Tenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Dick Tracy in 1990. Then we didn't see a new arival until 2000 with X-Men. Followed by Spiderman in 2002, and the Hulk in 2003. We're now looking at the Punisher and Hellboy this year. It's been quite the lucrative run over the last 26 years for comic book storylines in the theater.

It seems that we can't get enough of comic book hero's and superhero's. It almost seems they're running out of "cool" storylines however. According to IMDB.com, the next comic feature we'll see is the "Fantastic Four" in 2005. From what I remember in my childhood, this was a pretty cool cartoon. All of this half makes me wonder if we'll see a Pixar CGI version of "Transformers The Movie" some time in the future.

Does anyone have favorite superhero's/hero's from comics that you'd like to see come to the big screen that we haven't seen yet?

You forgot Blade 1-2 and the upcoming 3, as well as LXG =D.

Catwoman and Blade 3 should be out by the end of the year... and Spidey 2 in summer.

Elektra is getting a spinoff movie that is slated for 2005...

I hear Nicholas Cage is still on board for Ghost Rider...


The laughable Halle Barry costume for Catwoman.... - EXTERNAL LINK -

Eliza Dushku looks hot enough for the part. However, I feel the role needs more than just young and hot. The character, in my opinion, needs to be bold, exotic, dark, edgey, and down-right naughty. I picture something closer to Pfeiffer's character as Cat Woman in Batman II, but hey, that's just me.

:D

Tim,

Who would you cast as Wonder Woman? I remember reading about Sandra Bullock wanting to play the part, though I'm not a Bullock fan myself. Either Sarah Michelle Gellar or Eliza Dushku would work for me. :)

It's been all about "Batman" for me, though I hope that "Spider-Man" will turn into a really good series, too.

Best ideas for comic book casting....

Wonder Woman = Denzel Washington
Superman = Sammo Hung
Batman = Chris Cooper
Incredible Hulk = Kathy Bates
Catwoman = Jim Caviezel

Ok, I lied...these are actually the WORST ideas for comic book casting :p

There are great and terrible superhero movies:
GREAT:
Superman, Superman II, Batman, Batman Returns, X-Men, X2, Spider-man, Blade, 60's Batman (POW! BANG! SPLASH!), The Hulk, The Crow, Men in Black (This movie is about average, I think it's overrated) etc.

TERRIBLE:
The old Punisher, Daredevil, Blade II, Batman Forever (which is okay only because of the cool villains but still a horrible movie), Batman and Robin, LXG (not terrible, it's about average), Superman III and IV, MIB II, The Crow 2 and 3, Captain America (very entertaining, I watch it a lot but it's a bad movie) etc.

There are also many great non-superhero comic book movies, like Road to Perdition, Ghost World, etc.
THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE BAD SUPERHERO MOVIES FAR OUTNUMBER THE GOOD ONES.
UPCOMING: Spidey 2 (looks great), Blade:Trinity, The NEW Punisher, Hellboy (out now), Batman Begins (I REALLY hope this is good, to reinvent the franchise) etc.
