Most of them DC (link)

10. SuperGirl

9. Nick Fury

8. Wonder Woman

7. Aquaman

6. Martian Manhunter

5. SuperBoy

4. Hawkman

3. Power Pack

2. Captain Marvel (Shazam)

1. Any More X-Men

I don't think I'd argue with most of those.

A few others that have already been made probably weren't needed either.

I disagree with 1.5 of those on that list. Let me explain.

The new Aquaman arc put out in the New 52 is AWESOME. Pure badass. I think, as long as you get the writer from the comic (Geoff Johns) to at least consult in writing the script, it can be done.

The .5 is for X-men, because I want a Deadpool movie, and Deadpool sort of falls MOSTLY in with the X-Men. When they had Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, they started it GREAT. Wade was portrayed well, and it would have been a good launching ground for a Deadpool solo movie....IF they hadn't screwed up and turned him into a mindless, mouth-sewn-shut idiot with swords that extend out of his fuging arms like Wolverine. I think a Deadpool movie would be successful simply for the comedic value and pure badass action that Deadpool always ends up in. It'd be the most easily accessible movie based on a comic since Deadpool makes so many pop-culture references and whatnot (if you haven't guessed, Deadpool is my favorite comic book character. his new line of comics under Marvel Now! is nothing but awesome).

Other than that, I agree with the list. I want a Green Arrow movie. We have the show, but a movie would be awesome.

I couldda lived without the Green lantern movie.

Does Ryan Reynolds really need to play every other superhero? I actually think he fits Deadpool to a tee, but not so much Green Lantern and definitely not Batman.

I hated Green Lantern as a movie. Love the comics, hated the movie.

Ryan Reynolds is PERFECT for Deadpool, but last I heard, he got frustrated with the fact that no studio would pick up the script and said screw it as far as Deadpool goes. Of course, if a studio ever DOES pick it up, he will have to be one of the first offered the role and I'm sure if he is, as long as he isn't too busy, he'll take it.

Again, Green Arrow would own. The new comic arc for him is pretty awesome.

I dislike Wonder Woman strongly and really don't understand why so many people want her to have movies and tv shows.

Might I suggest you take a brief moment to review the following images...

Having done that, let me now ask you, are there any reasons you can think of why guys - more specifically, comic book geeks - might desire to see this particular character featured in a live action movie?

To be fair, again, her reboot in the New 52 is solid from what I hear (heard from a guy at the comic shop who previously HATED Wonder Woman). Apparently she's got a little more personality and her new story arc is more indulging. Still, the only reason I'd go watch it would be to see the actress playing her, since she'd undoubtedly be hot. Just not an interesting character to me.

I'm reserving ALL judgment on new DC movies until I see Superman when it comes out. If it sucks, then there is no hope. Batman was successful, but Batman could be in it's own universe completely separate from DC and get along just fine, honestly. X-Men was OK, but the first film was only "meh" (though the sequel was better, and First Class was the best, IMO). Marvel has the upper hand in the movies. Superman could be the turning point for DC, but they'll have to work hard at the others. Kinda hard to get the non-comic fans to get into some of the other characters, since Superman and Batman are the only DC characters MOST people can name off-hand.

Justice League is supposedly coming, but here's the problem.

The Avengers worked because they successfully introduced the individuals characters first. Bringing them together then amplified into the largest collective geekgasm of all time.

DC is going to go the 'en masse first' route. I've got my doubts it'll work. For one, how do you provide satisfactory introductions for all those characters without the movie being four hours long? Marvel's pre-movies did that job for them ahead of time.

Id be interested to see Gambit get his own movie...

DC characters are really cool when youre younger, but lack any real awesomeness as you get older. There just aint enough to compete with the Marvael heros, short of Batman. The Dark Knight is badass regardless of Adam West, Val Kilmer & George Clooney... Ive heard of a JLA movie for years, thought it was supposed to be out to contend with Avengers. Going back to my previous statement, I think the only way most DC heros could make a movie is by collaboration, none are cool enough to be the centerpoint, IMO. Im not a big fan of the Superman movies, any of them. I saw the preview in the theater & all that went through my head was Adam Sandle from Billy Madison -Well WOOPADEEDOO! Although I hear Smallville is cool...

Second on the Deapool film. If ever there was a comic book character born to be in the movies, it would be Deadpool (also my favorite character). I was also livid with what they did to him in X-Men Origins. I really hope word of that abortion never is uttered again.

The most exciting thing in a Deadpool movie for me, is seeing a character who is self-aware that he is in an action movie. Ferris Beuller + Blood and Guts? How can it miss? Oh, right... Marvel Studios.

      fug the HATERS

      By t96 · Posted

      We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce). Crazy

      Arrowhead is done, as Chiefs make move to Kansas.

      similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

      Like Kuechly….. still picking off QBs

      So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
