These three characters have all had entertaining animated appearances, now it's time to see them in live action. Man-Bat is long overdue to show up in a Batman movie and Detective Chimp is certainly on the short list if a Justice League Dark movie ever gets past the talking stages. I'm surprised that the Savage Land has not been introduced into the MCU - but once it does, that would be a great place for DD to make his debut.
I agree with you, Ross. And I still think, with the proper writers, a trilogy built around the Savage Land could not only introduce Ka-Zar and Kraven the Hunter. But, also reintroduce the Fantastic Four!---Cary
ReplyDeleteNot to mention Greer Grant, Patsy Baxter, Shana the She-Devil, Gog of the Tsiln and maybe even Nekra and the Mandrill.
Deletei 'd be a monkey's uncle with a drive like this. Devil D & Det C. in the House of Mystery...i could see it now. Man-Bat acting as the advance scout... can't wait till they meet their parallel own versions.
ReplyDeleteJoker & Kraven go after Det C. & Devil D...might be interesting.
ReplyDeleteHow about an all-female group called Wild Girls composed of Cassie "Batgirl" Cain, Nancy "Lynx" Rushman, Laura "X-23" Kinney, Rosabell "Pantha" Mendez (aka X-24) and Yolanda "La Gata" Montez (aka Wildcat 2)?
ReplyDeleteIt somewhat depends on whether Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur is part of the Sacred Timeline; I didn't think so at first, but I've seen some indications that it might be.
ReplyDeleteIn general, though, I think the Savage Land was considered part of the X-Men property, so it may be a while before we see our first trip there. At that, I don't really think it'll be in an X-Men movie (or series), but probably in something like a future Black Panther or Doctor Strange film.
Turning to Detective Chimp... I know I've discussed this before, but when was he in animation? I don't remember it.
Re: Anon@11:26's suggestion, I think it'd be cool to see just X-23 and Wildcat II share a cover.
Moon Knight and Doctor Midnight (Beth Chapel) would also be a very welcome sight.
Bob, He appeared on Batman: the Brave and the Bold
ReplyDeleteJust the thought of BoBo the Detective Chimp , Sword of Night in hand Attacking Devil Dinosaur ( with Moon boy or Moon girl ) is a thrill,
ReplyDeletethose JL. dark had some fun stories…
Did any of them feature "flashbacks" of Zatanna performing as opening act for Jim Rook's rock band?*
Delete*I once tried to publish a shipper fanfic with just such a plot gimmick. But, I accidentally deleted it, instead! Oh, how I almost pulled out those portions of my hair not already lost to Mother Nature and Father Time

ReplyDeleteDetective Chimp and Man-Bar might be one of those unusual pairs which are repeated in the blog like Elongated Man and Moon Knight.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but Ross usually counter-balances his custom-made duos. One DC character with one Marvel character or either one of them with an indie character! So, it might be easier for him to pair Detective Chimp with Hit Monkey and/or Man-Bat with Cy-Gor.
