The Spirit had his chance at live action, and given the lackluster response, it will probably be some time before he is given that opportunity again. I think an animated series might be a better way to go, since his stories were so informed by Will Eisner's visual experimentation. I'd love to see something in the vein of the classic Fleischer Superman cartoons, with their stylish art deco look.
Maybe an animated film with a few vignettes acting as a back-door pilot.
ReplyDeleteDC's experimental "First Wave" imprint was an even bigger flop than the live-action "Spirit" film! So, I don't foresee any animated cartoons about him in the very near-future.
