Funny how Wonder Woman can transverse time, be it WW I or WWII, & Legends of Tomorrow got the JSA in as well. The Shadow movie didn't do to well though. Maybe a movie done. in the 1930s style to introduce Sandy to the public (as long as his parents aren't killed off to give him motivation).
Ross, how about Bat-Mite with the Inhumans' Lockjaw ? impetuous mischief!
Personally, I thought Alec Baldwin did a great job as The Shadow. Which is why I think he would've made a better Bruce Wayne than Val Kilmer in "Batman Forever!"
Well, at a year older than me, I doubt Baldwin could now play a thirty-something millionaire vigilante during the pre-war half of the Great Depression! Not unless he merely did the voice-over while someone else wore the Sandman's gas mask. Someone slightly younger like, say...
Louis Mandylor, perhaps.
I, too, really liked Alec Baldwin's portrayal of The Shadow, and I'm working toward owning it on DVD (maybe Blu-Ray).
One TV role I'd really love to do is a guest appearance as Wesley Dodds, an old colleague of Jay Garrick's who hasn't been active since a debilitating stroke. Throw in Jamey Sheridan as Green Arrow and Alex Kingston as Black Canary, and we have a good core for an Earth-3 Justice Society!
In reality, though, I suspect that DC will reserve Sandman for the Justice Society on Stargirl.
Although I would enjoy a well-done period piece, I doubt it would fly today. Except for the Prohibiton / Gangster / Eliot Ness type stories, nobody under 60 seems to have any interest in the pre-war years. And after the lukewarm (at best) reception that "Agent Carter" got, there doesn't seem to be much interest in the post-war years, either. (Mad Men being the exception. Sex and drugs always sells.)
It won't be long before the only audience for any show that features rotary phones, newspapers, encyclopedias, and 6-shot revolvers will be members of the Society for Creative Anachronism!
Is anyone else hearing the opening strains of "Enter Sandman"? ;)
Jay, "Although I would enjoy a well-done period piece, I doubt it would fly today. Except for the Prohibiton / Gangster / Eliot Ness type stories, nobody under 60 seems to have any interest in the pre-war years." Didn't WW do about a billion dollars world wise? Doesn't that mean a market is still there?
OK anon, not a billion but close. Box office mojo has
Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $412,563,408 50.2%
+ Foreign: $409,283,604 49.8%
= Worldwide: $821,847,012 so yeah the audience is still around.But some actors
don't need to apply. Lone Ranger and Dark Shadows stand out.
Anon: Wonder Woman was a SuperHero / War Movie, not a period piece streaming show, which has to keep the audiences interest over multiple weeks (or be buzz-worthy enough to get people to binge it). Two very different animals. And even Wonder Woman isn't going to put the second movie in the '30s to '70s.
VENOM VS Men in Black yahoo
The way I hear it, the next sequel will be featuring a Girl In Black taking on illegal aliens in England! Maybe Ross could feature K and J meeting the 4th Doctor vs. the Sontarans or the Zygons.
