LOL According to Roy Thomas, when Jim Starlin first pitched him his ideas for re-vamping the Capt. Marvel strip, the main villain was a Metron type guy. Thomas told him, " If you're gonna swipe from the New Gods, at least swipe the COOL guy". I have to say that when Thanos popped up at the end of THE AVENGERS, I thought to myself, "Uh oh, there goes DC's opportunity to use Darkseid." Although the series isn't that well known, I think Kirby's NEW GODS would make a fun movie (even though aspects were appropriated by Lucas for STAR WARS).

Thanos is a necrophiliac who aspires to kill everything that lives; Darkseid is a fascist who prefers enslavement. Thanos is mostly a loner; Darkseid has his own planet under his thumb, with tons of brainwashed soldiers and lieutenants and weapons at his command.

Thanos didn't look like a loner to me in The Avengers. He leads an army. Details ain't going to matter though because the public would only see the two of them as similar. Vandal Savage has always been a cool villain though. That might be someone they could use in a JLA film. PS - Saw Avengers for the third time a week ago and it's still a lot of fun! Robert T.

I'm afraid that's how it would look. Green Arrow will have to be content with his new TV series. But just to strike back, if I were DC, I'd rush out a Justice League movie featuring the Atom before Marvel can introduce Ant Man. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Hood suddenly so unfamiliar? I never bought this claim for audience cliche limits, especially given the continuing reliance on origin stories. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/12/iron-man-batman-begins-ar_n_460296.html? a video which shows that audience cliche limits seem quite elastic (This video does not mention 1994's The Shadow.)

Jun 14 12 10:31 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Malcolm McDowell comments from the Hero Complex website (LA TIMES) The third episode of “Hero Complex: The Show” is a special “on-stage” edition with the firebrand actor from “A Clockwork Orange,” “Time After Time,” “Star Trek: Generations,” “If…” and “Caligula.” McDowell, soon to be filming “Monster Butler” in Scotland, served up plenty of dish too, weighing in on “The Avengers” (“mindless crap”), Patrick Stewart in “Trek” films (might as well “watch paint dry”) and his perspective on killing Capt. James T. Kirk (“I did them a favor”). He also spoke at length about the legacy of “A Clockwork Orange” and the late Stanley Kubrick, whose death brought on a complicated bundle of emotions; during a visit to see Kubrick’s widow at the filmmaker’s stately home, McDowell burst into tears — but not before looking around and thinking, “Yeah, I paid for some of this.”

If we're talking about the Avengers movie, I got the impression Thanos was using the army rather than leading them. They're just pawns in his solo scheming.

Anybody else notice that the shot of Steve Rogers approaching the displayed uniform to 'suit up' shows the original cowl with the earholes (rejected in pre-production)? Btw, the kids agreed that Cap was their favorite Avenger (tho older daughter does like Stark a lot, and younger daughter adores Black Widow), and both had big thumbs up for Ruffalo's Banner as well.

Also : the two DARKMAN sequels were direct-to-video, so, no go. What of the two theatrical Power Rangers films?

They must be kicking themselves that they not only passed on a JLA film with George Miller at the helm but also a Wonder Woman script by Joss Whedon -- y'know, that guy who went on to write and direct THE AVENGERS? Hopefully, a few of the suits responsible for those decisions were given their walking papers. Ah, but never fear. Those suits have learned their lesson, and according to this article from June 6 are reportedly moving forward with a Wonder Woman film with a script penned by Michael Goldenberg, co-writer of the script for...Green Lantern! As for a JLA movie, why bother with a new one when we'd already got this classic from 1997: Gadfly
