Off YOUR Mind: What Comic Books Would Make a Great TV Show?

ANYTHING PUNISHER RELATED  or JONAH HEX???

I would make animated series based on War Machine himself taking stark position as Iron Man do crime fighting his style guns blazing with his War Machine armor Tony Stark built for him. This show tv would be rated PG-14 so expect lots violence. The show would be loaded with over top high octane adrenaline blood rushing action, War Machine is gonna kick ass in the show and he won't hold back as much as Iron Man did . The storyline would be like a serious action blockbuster movie, the art style is gonna be like Japanese Mecha Anime something like Gundum 00. Some episode would feature him teaming up with other marvel superheroes fight some villian, like Nick Fury, Hawkeye,Falcon,Luke Cage,Iron Fist ,Hulk,Winter Soldier, Wolverine,etc (the really good one). The fight scenes would be badass loaded with gun foo combat at close quarters and at long range and brutal hand to hand combat going toe to toe. It would also feature a backstory about James Rhodes going to the Air Force. So do You Guy Think about this Idea. By the way it gonna have the most badass action rock or rap music keeping your interest of this show.

I would love to either a true batman inc show (batman being a little more hands off focusing on a new local every few episodes) and I know alot of people will disagree but an aquaman show would be awesome not a campy-weak joke version of aquaman but the true to comic honed strong fighter version. The aquaman show would be pretty awesome showing him go from happily married to a lone warrior (skulking in the aqua cave) throughout the season (maybe season 1 could revolve around his marriage disintergrating, then season 2 could be him falling in love with dolphin/garth growing, etc)

Deadpool.....'nuff said.

Martian Manhunter. It would be a detective show that follows John Jones as a detectie and also have the superhero part and have some awesome Martian Manhunter.

The Massive from Darkhorse would make a good show. Post disaster earth, action, intrigue and people on boats. What more could you want.

What would make a good show is Lobo.

It's easy to gauge just how hard a TV series based on a comic is to budget just by reading up on The Walking Dead series.

A TV series can work if animated, but with better animation that older people can enjoy

I think Invincible would make an awesome show. So would Runaways.

Smallville had a budget of 2-4 million per episode.A superhero show has to be character-driven because it's more cheaper.

If a superhero hero show were gonna happen, the people will have to have "invisible supers" like superhearing.An X-Factor is doable, many of the character's superpowers are invisible and people like detective shows.

The Teen Titans!  Oh, wait....  

One character I think would make a pretty good tv show would be Gambit. He is a fun character and they could do the show with a fairly low budget I think. I think a Gambit tv show could fit really well on a channel like FX. Since Fox already owns the right to the X-Men franchise it could greatly utilize the franchise. FX is already know for making tv shows where you sometime question how they it passes regulation to be on cable tv (Example: Nip Tuck, The Shield, Sons of Anarchy, Rescue Me, and American Horror Story). They don't skimp on the quality of tv shows on FX. also the fact that they already play a lot of comic book movies a Gambit show would fit right in. I would like them to make the Gambit character more comic like rather than the attempt in the Wolverine Orgina movie. I think that it could really work.

Gotham Central.

I'd dig a suicide squad as well, and or Secret Six

But, really I just want a AMERICAN VAMPIRE tv show.

Something similar to Smallville but with Batman could work. The journey of Bruce Wayne before he comes back to Gotham and becomes the Bat.

Each season he masters a new skill:

Different fighting styles (in Japan and China),

Detective/tracking skills (I really want to see more of Ducard story that they have introduced in new Batman & Robin)

Survival techniques

and maybe some more. you only have to change the sets every season and it is much more of a crime drama without the suits and superheroes. throughout the whole series he learns more and more about crime and how it works.

Also as he travels the world he can encounter different types of crime - mafia, cults, terrorists, corruption and of course the straight-up crazies

I think spider-man would make a cool tv show.

I would like a live action horror series based on Werewolf By Night. It could show his earlier days fighting capes and having wild nights out, then gradually changes into a darker series. Guest apperances by Blade, Dracula, and Stephen Strange could be done.

Well, i would watch a Justice League show other than X-Men. X-Men has a a lot of TV shows, so it would be fair for the Justice League.

Live-action tv shows like the Legion of Superheroes, Hulk(yea I know), Jonah Hex and animated shows like Night-thrasher, slapstick(where many marvel characters will have cameos) and a good non-cgi or non-campy batman just a good animated badass batman.

Daredevil, X-Factor and L.E.G.I.O.N.

@guttridgeb: Marvel has the film rights to those anyway.

Yeah, I forgot Marvel pretty much has Daredevil back now, though it isn't official until October

I personally want to see HBO do a Batman series that is hour long episodes with realistic versions of the characters.

On a similar note, Gotham Central would make a great series.

Also, along the same lines, X-Factor Investigations.

Perhaps a Wolverine series would work.

Deadpool. Do it. NAO!

The Question, don't tell people its comic based the populous would eat it up

don't know if Rorschach ever had his own singular comic but that would work too

two detectives in a even more gritty Law and Order world

I would love to see a "Scud the Disposeable Assassin" series, either CG or live Action

Pallasarina!

@jpblair88:

I agree.

The Unwritten could translate really well in a world where we have shows like Grim and Once Upon a Time out there. Fables too for that matter.

he would be a perfect for an TV show maybe have cameos from wolverine in a weapon X episiodie

YES!!!!! YES A MILLION TIMES!!

I would love to see Spawn take another attempt at a TV show! :D Also Deadpool ! :D

'Y: The Last Man' could work

I'm excited about the S.H.I.E.L.D show Joss will be working on. After the Avengers, I was worried if he'll permanently stop making TV series projects. Firefly meant a lot to me.

@Pauldro: Suicide Squad! yes! hoping the John Ostrander version Luke Mcdonnel/ Karl Kessel work with these characters:

Deadshot, Rick Flag, Enchantress, Nemesis, Nightshade, Plastique, Bronze Tiger, and Amanda Waller.. and don't forget Captain Boomerang!

Would depend on the budget for the show. A lot of comics could make pretty awesome TV shows if they had a big enough budget to support it.

I would love to see something like Gotham Central and maybe thats where Marvel is going with their SHIELD show.

If they gave it a bit of a budget, i could see Fables as a great tv show :)

• Suicide Squad
• Cloak and Dagger
• Richard Dragon
• Iron Fist.

Sandman, Preacher, Unknown Soldier & Y:The Last Man would all make for great series on AMC, HBO, or Showtime. I'm excited to see what happens with the Thief of Thieves show on AMC. Really wish Jon Hamm was available to play Redmond.

What about ex machina as a show?

I would love to see a No Hero TV show. Although it was only 8 issues (including #0) it could be stretched out to make it a little longer than 8 episodes. Also the fact it isn't part of any other story lines or tie-ins it can be finished and left alone without any extra add ons or whatever.

Jonah Hex, Doc Strange, Hellblazer

A Heroes for Hire show could be really amazing. Or maybe I just say this because I literally need Tracie Thoms from 'Death Proof' to play Misty Knight.

I would like to see an ant man,or doctor strange show

Smallville, Birds of Prey, Arrow, and S.H.I.E.L.D.....

Oh, wait a second...

I think Power Man and Iron Fist would be a pretty great show.

Also, I heard a while back (here: http://albotas.com/post/4088306170/showtime-is-turning-the-comic-chew-into-a) that Chew is already being made into a TV show... Heard literally nothing of it since, though.

im gonna have to say Batman and Robin a detective drama centered around the Bat Family.

a story that shows Bruce as Batman, a father and as Bruce Wayne. Then you have Damien as Robin a young misfit who we can all tell just wants to be normal throw in big brother NightWing and with fellow brothers Red Hood and Red Robin to be there i think you a good show

A JLA show with Young Justice's art style, with the original cast :P Or a superman animated show where they show his true potential.

1. Space Cabbie, as a kind of Twilight-Zone type sci-fi anthology show

2. Ditto Neil Gaiman's Sandman - as if

3. Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster's "Funnyman"

4. Madame Fatal. No, I'm serious.

5. Richard Hughes' "Herbie" from ACG's "Forbidden Worlds". Ask Alan Moore.
