    Does anybody else think that Spawn and reality just don't mix? I mean, come on, it's practically impossible to keep Spawn badass comic look in a movie. If the movie was something like Sin City, then that might work. Maybe have the only colours in the movie be black, red, white, and green. Black for the costume, red for the cape, green for the eyes, and you've just gotta have white. What do you think?

    No, only Pixar movies are full CG, so Spawn wouldn't really be taken seriously.

    what are you basing this on?  The pixar style animation is only one style of what i suppose i would call that genre of film making.

    The reality of Spawn is awesome on it's own! The series (comics and animated) makes scummy alleys and all manner of ill characters interesting. I do agree that a Sin City style movie would probably work the best (with a different writer/director, please). Michael Jai White struck me as too short an actor in the full-on Spawn suit in the live-action movie.
