So which comic book property do you feel is long overdue for the Hollywood treatment?

Be careful what you wish for, or you just might get it.

When I was a little girl I used to always read Archie comic books. I believe that for teen girls this would make a great movie. I mean, how many times do friends fight over guys when they are in high school? I think it would make a great chic flick.

Now for some macho movie? Hell I don't know I am a woman! Although I cannot wait for them to make the movie with Iron Man and Hulk.

Now that you mention it, it is kinda odd that they haven't brought Archie and his friends to the big screen. That comic has been around forever, so somebody must still buy it. Heck, they've done stuff like Josie and the Pussycats, so why not Jughead?

So true! Who cannot relate to characters in their own lives that can relate to Reggie, the big headed jock and Veronica, the miss goody two-shoes? HaHa I went to Wal-Mart the other day and saw that they still have new issues.

I'd like to eventually see the Wonder Woman movie, but I imagine Hollywood will really eff that one up. I imagine the Amazon princess will be played by some little waif-like actress who could barely muster a single push-up. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of buff women in Hollywood with actual star power.

I think Rhona Mitra would be a fine choice physically, but they're not going to risk over $100 million on a movie that she's headlining (especially after Doomsday bombed).

This is completely in the realm of fantasy, but I'm calling for DC to do a "Legion of Superheroes movie". My Motivation: That's the only way they would support an ongoing Legion series the way they should, because DC would really want to cross-hype the coming LSH movie.

Think about it. They could appeal to teens, because the characters could all be teenage superheroes. Someone could sell it as "X-Men in Outer Space". Or maybe they could turn them all into vampires and sell it as "Twilight in Outer Space".

They could get the sci-fi audience, since it takes place in the 30th century. They could add in Superboy and have a tie-in to their next failed Superman movie. There's all kinds of potential.

Of course, that will never happen, but I'm still mourning yet another LSH series canceled, and this in the most insulting way. Well, actually, Zero Hour was the most insulting way, but you get the point.

By the way, Dan Didio continues his systematic destruction of DC Comics. I think he had competitive sales for a while 2-3 years ago, but from the little bit I pay attention to that stuff, I think they're starting to falter again. (And I don't mean in this economy, but relative to other industry figures.)

Whatever, his editorial oversight has robbed DC of any soul it had left. It's turned into nothing more than a monthly bloodletting of obscure characters. And what they did to the New Gods, supposedly to "give them an honorable death", was just an insult. I'm pretty sure Darkseid has died twice in the last year.

Sure, these big yearly crises have screwed up Marvel and DC for the past 20 years, because it's all plot-based instead of character-based. But doesn't one editor understand that good character-based comics might actually bring back some fans? Can't one of them try quality stories about quality characters that people care about, instead of the latest over-hyped plot twist? Whatever happened to having the heroes seem competent and on the ball and maybe even heroic?

It just seems like comics these days are just one long string of heroes chasing their tails around, being dupes to some new crisis. Oh well, I don't think they'll be getting any more of my money for a while.

If I were hired to write the next big crossover, my villain would be the mysterious "Dr. Didio". He would be the most destructive DC villain yet. Imperiex just destroyed whole galaxies in the DC Universe. Dr. Didio would cross the fourth wall to destroy DC's fandom. Let's see you cry about that, Superman.
