Let's use this thread to talk about the rumors surrounding comic book movies/adaptations, our ideas for them, or whatever the fuck.
To start off, I think Lucy Lawless would make a great Wonder Woman in the WW movie. I doubt it'll happen, but according to this article, she is voicing Wonder Woman in the New Frontier animated film.
She doesn't have the more commanding voice like Susan Eisenberg, but she fits the Golden Age/Silver Age setting

Looks good to me. Of course, we're talking comic book movies, where perfect casting doesn't apply.

Imagine it.
Scene opens, Tony is standing in front of monitors, crimes happening all over the world. An assistant walks in.
"Mr.Stark? Henry Pym is on line 1...muttering something about Ultra...something..." Trailing off, the assistant notices he's lost in thought.
"Look at it. So many criminals, so many people being put in danger. I couldn't save them all if I left immediately."
The assistant looks a bit confused.
"I'm sorry, sir?"
"People die every day because of people like Mandarin. People with more power than common sense or decency. Someone needs to stand up for these people...to to...AVENGE them."
The assistant shrugs "Why don't you, Mister Stark?"
Tony smiles, taking a sip of wine. "Sounds like a plan."
With a press of a button on an intercom, he speaks up "Jarvis...Get me Steve Rogers."
Movie closes.
The Captain America movie could end with Steve getting home just as "Stark Industries" calls.
Bam. Avengers.
It would involve actually caring
I really hope the upcoming Death of Superman movie features the Justice League that got obliterated by Doomsday, if only for a few minutes. Because dammit, I want animated Blue and Gold. And Guy with the yellow power ring.

you have no idea how much I fucking hate you right now
there is no reason why Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson should ever have any roles
The only way this would happen was if someone here had an obscene amount of money to give HBO for it, because there's no fucking way they'd make back a tenth of the production cost.
I'd settle for a movie, but when you compare a movie based on the Ultimates to really any other superhero movie, and their budget, it becomes obvious that it would just cost too much.
I can dream, though.
In any event, I predict Iron Man will be totally awesome because Robert Downey Jr. is actually a really really good actor, as anyone who's seen Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang will tell you.
--shit.

Also he's not gonna look like a fish out of water if he has to play a drunk.
Ms. Marvels not so difficult. Uma Thurman might not be a bad choice(although after Super Ex-Girlfriend it might be suicide to cast her as a superhero again...) but what about She-Hulk...? You can't CGI her as easily as the real Hulk.
And what about a BETTER Spider-man? Y'know, like Jake Gyllenhal.
It is so perfect
Oh, and I just thought of a new Blue Beetle; Jeremy Piven. Dude is such a perfect smartass.

Jeremy Piven? Christ, just put the bullseye on his head now.

do you not watch entourage karma?
karma i hope that you and everything you love blackens and shatters into dust that is scattered across the world by a hurricane made of my rage

I watch Entourage and it's exactly why I can't put Jeremy Piven in the good-guy role. Yeah, he's a smartass, but he's not a hero-type.
I didn't like him as Elongated Man in JLU
No, but there was that one time I watched Ellen...
Well Munch, if that one day happens, I won't spend the next two years of my life whining about it.

what if DC fires Alex Ross
"Damn, that sucks. Oh well, I guess I'll try and move on"
PSN: OrneryRooster
He'll be killing.
Keith, sometimes I dream of what Heaven is like. And it is nothing but watching Alex Ross and Bad Karma choke back sobs as the new joint Editors in Chief of DC comics, Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, fire Alex Ross over and over.
Karma, we can still be bros right? You want a beer man? I'll let you wear my trucker hat and take a hit out of my beer bong.

and Paul Dini wrote like four books with him

What if we made you watch the Seymour episode of Futurama over and over?
If somebody is going to make a comic book movie adaptation, I'd rather they take huge dramatic license and make something new, special and unique out of it. That's why I like the Hellboy movie so much, because Del Toro took the essence of Hellboy and then ran with it and made his own thing out of it.
Oh god, it'd cost a billion to do right and acquire the licenses for, but it'd be a fucking orgy of awesome. DC and Marvel would basically have a license to print money.
My perfect Captain America movie would be something like this:
The first forty minutes, it's him busting Nazi's in WWII before he gets frozen.
After the defrosting, and during the inevitable "getting used to the new century stuff", he is told the US replaced him with a fake Captain America after his "death" to maintain public support. This was found out, and now most people don't believe there ever was a real Captain America.
It gets complicated from there, but basically it involves Captain America teaming up with Nick Fury to fight corruption and the Red Skull. By the end, Cap has restored the countries belief in him, and by extension a little bit of belief in the American Dream.
For some reason, my perfect Captain America movie needs Nick Fury busting skulls.
Done.
You are a horrible person.
I think comic Cap wears a cup.
Apparently that movie is terrible, but that guy looks great as Cap. All the suit needs is the chainmail and less rubber and it'd be perfect
