What comic needs to be made into a movie?

There are still a ton of comics out there that haven't been made into movies yet, which do you want to see? I think the top one on my list would be "Iron Man". Basically Marvel's version of Bruce Wayne, but instead of martial arts, he turned to alcohol. He still made a suit of armor that saved his life though, and went the superhero route with it. The guys that write "Smallville" have penned a script for the movie, and it's in development now with Tom Cruise rumored to be interested in playing the lead.

"Green Lantern", if done right, could be just about the best movie ever. They gotta do the Hal Jordan version though.

"Ghost Rider" is another one that could be good. It's in development with Nic Cage set to star.

Speaking of Cage, "Luke Cage" is in development with John Singleton directing.

"G.I. Joe" is in the writing stage now. "Transformers" is a bit further along than that.

Wesley Snipes might still make "The Black Panther", he's been talking about that movie for years though. But since he'd be a producer for it, it's a likely bet.

And I think "Nightwing" would make for a great 1 hour series on the WB. A "Batman" style show about a guy with no superpowers, but he's a former acrobat and sidekick to Batman. All he needs is a studio apartment and a muscle car.

I agree with what you wrote (which seems to be a pattern lately). Especially on GL.

I'd like to add:
Iron Fist- Ray Park (Darth Maul) is doing everything in his power to get this made with himself starring.

Lobo - The ultra-violent intergalactic bounty hunter is definitely worth a movie. Make it soon before Kevin Nash gets any older.

The Fantastic Four - This could be the most spectacular if done right, it would have to be really big.

From what I've read, the FF movie doesn't sound good. I can't remember who the director is, but this will be new for him. Plus, they need a good way to explain why a scientist, his wife, her brother and the scientists college buddy are on a spaceship. As long as they have a great Doctor Doom though, I'll be there.

I really like the Iron Fist character, but Ray Park shoulda made that a couple years ago when he could have had Beyonce as his love intrest.

I'd like to see a good Captain America movie too, but they'd have to use the costume and storyline from "The Ultimates", the best series of comics ever, in my opinion.

I would rather see Batman vs Superman than Justice League, that is only if both franchises suceed.

We'll never see anything as cool as a Justice League movie, too bad. I'd settle for GL though.

Isn't there a "Spawn 2" in production? I'm not sure, but I though McFarlane was going ahead with it.

I'd even settle for an animated "Justice League" movie.

Booster Gold and Blue Beatle would be good in a comedy as a team that's in it for the money and does everything wrong.

Call me crazy but I still want a big-budget, live action Lobo movie with Kevin Nash starring. Why do I want this, I do not know.

I was never a fan of him in the comics, but he was funny on the Superman cartoons. Supes played a good straight-man to his jokes.

The Lobo that had his own comic has potential. It would have to be violent and witty, but it could work.

It would be nice to see a Captain America movie that wouldn't suck as bad as the original one made
