DC Movie News (Aquaman/Flash)

I don't understand the motivation to make these films. Okay I do, easy money from the 9-14 age group. But that means the movies are going to suck. You have to respect Batman and Superman and Spiderman for being big enough to get proper movie attention. Who knows how Iron Man turned out so good. It seems like once you get past the major major franchise characters everything becomes incredibly hit or miss.

Like I said, put this shit on hiatus for a while. Make a cool R-rated Jonah Hex film though.

Can thank Jon Favreau for that.

In April 2006, Jon Favreau was hired as the film's director, with Arthur Marcum and Matt Holloway writing the script. Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby worked separately, with Favreau compiling both team's scripts, and the script received a polish by John August. Comic book staff Mark Millar, Brian Michael Bendis, Joe Quesada, Tom Brevoort, Axel Alonso, and Ralph Macchio were also summoned by Favreau to give advice on the script.

He basically made sure it was a good script.

I think some lesser known heroes would work for better movies because they are different from the big ones.

I mean not all comic book origins are doom and gloom. No dying planets, no dead parents, no dead uncle. There are some who become heroes without the necessity of death behind it.

Also, they would give way to different environments, the problem is getting it right and not just making a cheesy movie because comics are for kids.
