Seth Rogen's Green Hornet may have turned studios off to the concept of a buddy comedy superhero movie, but I still think that Marvel should give Power Man and Iron Fist a try. I'd love to see a period piece set in the 70's which fully embraces their classic looks - high collar, chain belt and all. Of course, that's not the only route. A modern day setting which includes elements of Brian Michael Bendis and Matt Fraction's takes on the characters could be cool as well. I have heard of solo films for both of them mentioned, but I think they work best together... perhaps Marvel is more interested in starting solo and building to the team up film, though, given their success with The Avengers.
Tarantino would be a good director for a Power Man and Iron Fist film.
ReplyDeleteha ha, who was Superman pointing at in the original cover? This looks like one of those great issues from from the 1970s, when I was still to young to be a serious collector, so I would buy an issue, and quickly trash it once it was read twice or pass it on to a friend. Then I spent the late '80s and '90s tracking them all down!
ReplyDeleteDave sez,
ReplyDeleteIron Cream,
That would be a CLASSIC Teen Titans cover! The storyline following this issue I believe is the Titans following Loren Jupiter out of costume with Hawk and Dove.
This is a very cool cover!
I think Green Hornet and Green Lantern are isolated incidents.
I would like to see a Power Man movie, an Iron Fist movie, then a Heroes For Hire movie...
Y'know, Tarantino might be a very interesting choice...
ReplyDeleteThe bonus of having Tarantino direct is that he would not only make it a 70's period piece but cast himself as D.W.
ReplyDeleteDude this my favorite cover by far! I loved this issue of the Teen Titans. I also like how you added the Atom in the picture. Power Man & Iron Fist were deal when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteDale!
Love the concept, and love the fact that you put Lynched by the league as the title, with Luke Cage standing right freaking there. Ballsy and funny:)
ReplyDeleteI recognize the source material for your composite drawing. The cover of the classic TEEN TITANS issue that first introduced Loren Jupiter and Lilith Clay.
ReplyDeleteHow I'd love to see a drawing based on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #60, featuring Webhead saving Lilith (in her Golden Canary Go-go costume) from the Kingpin's thugs!
not sure why, but iron fist appears in a cameo of Justice League of America #6! It looks like him with his cape for sure!
