Comic book you'd like to see as TV series

[Klaus]

X-Presidents!

 

[Silvercrest]

Strikeforce: Morituri. And it almost happened.

 

[Misfit Toy]

Damage Control. I think it could work as a sitcom.

For me, it's more of a question of what I wouldn't mind seeing on the small screen. But here are a few that come to mind:

Mystery Society
Scalped
Deathlok
Punisher
Moon Knight
Heroes for Hire (Power Man/Iron Fist or Misty Knight/Colleen Wing)
Daredevil
Blade (I know about the canceled series, but I wouldn't mind a new approach)
SHIELD
Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)
Nightwing
Wonder Woman (not the aborted version)
Aquaman
Green Arrow
Static
Blue Beetle
Black Lightning
Suicide Squad
Invincible
Astonishing Wolf-Man
Blackjack
Vampire Huntress
Anita Blake

SUICIDE SQUAD & ANITA BLAKE VAMPIRE HUNTER most deffinitvelly. all so I want to add AMERICAN VAMPIRE all so.
great book from dc's vertigo line and I would all so add sandman.

Give me an Adam Strange, Hero or Rann miniseries.

"Jon Carter of Mars" meets "Flash Gordon"/"Buck Rogers." It's a natural.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Doctor Strange. Good luck with the SFX budget.

An animated Maus would be a great miniseries.

I'd like to see Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns as a miniseries. According to the wiki, an animated film is "in the works", whatever that means. Although not as much, I also enjoyed Miller's sequel The Dark Knight Strikes Again, which I'd like as a follow-up miniseries. Of course, I'd like unabridged adaptations, so unfortunately maybe neither would be ready for prime time or basic cable.

I was reading about the New X-Men comic series the other day, and I got to thinking that was something I could easily be adapted for a network like the CW or ABC Family. Another one that I've thought could be a cool TV series is Green Lantern Corps, I can easily see that is a series focusing on say Guy Gardner and a group of aliens.
So what about you guys, are there comics you think would make a good TV series?

We're not talking Grant Morrison's New X-Men, are we?

Sorry, I meant the Academy X series.

No-brainer: Y: The Last Man. I read an interview with Vaughn once where he said people always tell him it should be HBO series, not a movie (series?), and he always replies the budget would be prohibitive. But surely they could green-screen the big parts, as a kind of halfway Sin City-show, with backgrounds that look animated rather than photorealistic, and get away with it?

Yeah, from everything I've read about it, Y:TLM would be an awesome series.
I completely forgot about Fables in my last post. IMO it could be an amazing TV if done by the right people with a big enough budget.
I'll be honest, as much as I've loved the movies we've been getting, I really think TV shows are a better way to adapt long running comics than movies. They are able to get alot more in depth into the stories, characters, and the whole universe of the comics in a multi-episode TV series, than they are in even a three or four movie series. I would love to see them do something like what they've been doing for the Marvel movies, only with live action TV series. I know we've already gotten this kind of thing in animation for both DC and Marvel. It honestly amazes that with all of the live action shows with original super powered people, there haven't been more attempts to do adaptations of DC or Marvel heroes. I mean they were able to do some fairly complex powers on Heroes, so we know it's possible on a TV budget. And really, if they had one of the big two behind them, then I have a feeling budget wouldn't be that much of an issue.
Sorry, rant over.

they would have to do that one in 3d all the way.






all so there is a new marvel knights blu ray called thor & loki.

"The Dark Knight Returns" is coming as part of next year's animated DTV's from DC that is what the "in the works" part the wiki entry referred to.

 

[ALF]

The Minutemen.

 

[Mysterion]

"Ex Machina" or as Gaith suggested Vaughn's "Y: The Last Man". Both series are pretty much tailor made for television. I know they've attempted to develop both into movies (Y had the Disturbia director attached along with Shia to play Yorick). HBO or AMC would be prime networks for either of these series. Kyle Chandler would make an excellent Mitchell Hundred too.

This. Ex Machina was my favorite comic book reading the last ten years or so. Chandler is an interesting choice to play Hundred. How about Christopher Walken as Kremlin?

All right! Thanks, Admiral_Young.

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ No problem. I'd love to see a Dark Knight Returns mini-series though as well, although I think it would probably be somewhat expensive to do, along the budget of a Frank Herbert's Dune mini-series budget which I think was the most expensive mini-series SyFy ever produced (until they did the follow up).

 

[Joe Washington]

1) Preacher which I can see going on for six seasons
2) Y: The Last Man which I can see going on for five seasons
3) I agree with Admiral Young on a Dark Knight Returns mini-series
4) A Scott Pilgrim mini-series

 

[CorporalCaptain]

3) I agree with Admiral Young on a Dark Knight Returns mini-series

It was actually I who suggested it, but what the hey.

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ This is true. I just agreed with him

I want a "Scott Pilgrim" animated movie or show along the lines of the Adult Swim short we got prior to the release of the movie. With the movie cast reprising their roles. That was simply bad ass.

 

[DarKush]

Perhaps a Nova animated series. It would give Marvel a chance to really get their galactic heroes and villains out there.

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ I'd be up for that. Richard Rider Nova though.

Imagine an X-Men tv series with a Next Generation budget. With hundreds of character possibilities, it could be an ever changing roster of heroes and villans. How cool would it be to see live action versions of The Pheonix Saga, and The War of the Sentinals? X-Men would be an instant hit if done right. Since Wolverine is practically immortal, you could save him for sweeps, and finale episodes.
