As a contributor to last year's award-winning Moonstone anthology "The Green Hornet: Still At Large," I couldn't agree more with your assessment of that abominable movie. That movie WAS an insult, both to the character and to generations of fans. The recent comics have been pretty good (with the exception of the Kevin Smith-penned tales, which didn't do much for me), and the three Moonstone anthologies are must reading for anyone who loves the character as much as those of us who participated in the projects. Check them out if you haven't already! (And please forgive the unabashed plug, but in this case I felt it was appropriate.)
This is a team-up that was Meant To Happen -- and the cover is killer. The foreground image of Nightwing doesn't quite seem to go with the rest, but it couldn't have been easy finding a drawing of him to go with this Green Hornet picture.
As to the GH movie, I haven't seen it, but just the clips and trailers make me feel sad. It seems that Seth Rogan was determined to portray Brit Ried as an idiot and emphasize comedy in the film. I don't mind a bit of quirky humor in superhero stories, but this was a bit much.
Hopefully this isn't the last we'll see of Green Hornet on these pages. Maybe you could have him as part of a team of insect-themed heroes (Wasp, the Fly, maybe Insect Queen, and perhaps some others).
Bob, Green Hornet shall indeed return to the blog!
Better yet: Green Hornet, Blue Beetle, Red Bee, and Yellowjacket.
The really frustrating thing about the 2011 movie was that there was a lot of interesting ideas in the script. The problem was that it was a Seth Rogen movie not a Green Hornet movie. My biggest complaint was that ultimately The Green Hornet was a useful as a hip pocket on a singlet.
With some tweaking it could have been a really good movie.
Well, you know, technically... these two kind of HAVE met before. Kind of.
GH is a great character going back to the radio days. I like the TV show, too. Bill Dozier originally wanted it to be campy, like Batman, but it was fairly serious. I wouldn't mind getting the Gold Key comic.
I like Bob B's suggestion.
Pblfsda is correct, as they met in the big Batman TV crossover from 1967. It would be VERY cool to see a 1960s Batman/Green Hornet crossover cover, with classic Infantino/Anderson Batman art, and any available GH art from the period!
