	A Green Lantern flick would be great. It might be cool to set up Sinestro as a GL first, and then have him go bad in a sequel. If you do that, though, I don't know what villain the first one would have... As for the big ringslinger himself, definitely Hal Jordan. Guy Gardner would be a fun minor character, though, if you went with the Corps. The Flash is another one. He would be so incredible on film. I've given a little thought to this, actually. You could easily do a trilogy, thanks to Geoff Johns and his villain-rejuvinating magic. Film 1: Captain Cold. Make sure he's distinct from Mr. Freeze by playing up his ruthlessness and weird code of honor. And use the Keystone PD, particularly Hunter Zolomon. Film 2: This is the hard one. Gorilla Grodd could work, but it would be rough to translate to the big screen. Then again, King Kong was amazing... Film 3: Now you bring out Zoom, since you've had the proper buildup. This thing would be epic. -----signature----- “The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.” - John 1:5

	I'd love a Green Lantern film. It's tough trying to decide whether to go for Kyle or Hal though. Kyle's story works better if Hal is already there - his origin as a superhero is tied directly to Hal. But in my opinion, he's also the more interesting character. Hal, on the other hand, stands alone better than Kyle does. And I think that for American audiences, the character of Hal Jordan has a lot more appeal. -----signature----- 1.

	Also more people tend to know Hal Jordan as Green Lantern. Although a Guy Gardner GL would be cool also. -----signature----- MEPA http://www.mepa-nyc.com G'Kar - "There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom" Sic Semper Tyrannis Veni Vidi Vici The Revolution Has Begun

Plus we can then have a sequel involving Parallax, if I remember my GL history correctly. I want to see Thanos or Apocalypse in a movie. -----signature----- Darth Revan Fan Club: Technical Specialist Uncle Eddie was my favourite wrestler Gentle Giant owns my bank account.

	I could see an ironman movie being ok, but i think i would like to see a Dr. Strange movie a bit more. Hell i could see a thor movie being kind of cool. -----signature----- This council has zero tolerance for any sexual deviancy regarding our Jedi Knights. Go Eagles

	The Losers probably has too long of a plotline for a movie, but it might make for an awesome minsiseries. Actually, with a half decent director and some decent actors, it would make for an awesome movie. -----signature----- 1. Seek enlightenment. 2. ??? 3. Prophet.

	Definatly the Flash. I even enjoy the Flash show from 15 or so years back, I'd love to see what they could do now with CG. Seeing Thanos on the big screen would be sweet, but I don't see it ever happening. Nightwing too -----signature----- Episode I: 10/10 Amazing! \| Episode II: 10/10 Outstanding!

	Green Latern, Flash, Iron Man, Tintin, Nightwing (although it would basicly be Batman lite, maybe have Robin and Nightwing team up).
