There have been some false alarms over the years, but Mar-Vell remains one of the few heroes to die in comics and remain dead, even decades later. I am glad that the integrity of his story has been kept intact - but I wouldn't mind seeing some new stories featuring him in flashback tales from his prime.
You rarely see Namor intimidated by heroes of the surface world, but I think that working alongside The Spectre might just be an exception to that rule. It would be interesting to see how these big personalities clash.
You knew he just wouldn't stay down! Mr. Universe is back to vex the heroes of Earth-STF! Will this group be enough to put him away for good - or will he be back? Power Girl and She-Hulk were last seen fighting the Psycho Pirate in STF #3743, and they first met in STF #1482...
What I am wondering is where Firestorm will fit in the cinematic DCU. I think that James Gunn is a fan of the hero, but I haven't heard anything about his inclusion yet. He is admittedly a tough character to pull off in live action, but I hope we can see a more comics-faithful interpretation than the TV Versions we got on The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.
The fourth Tom Holland led Spider-Man movie now a go according to the actor. Rumors have swirled from the plot being tied in heavily to the two upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars films to a smaller, more street level adventure. I think that I would prefer the latter. I loved the status quo set up at the end of the last movie, and would like to see that explored a little before he gets mixed up with a big crazy universe-changing story again.
John Stewart and Hal Jordan have both been cast for the HBO/MAX Lanterns series, filming should be underway soon. It has been described as a True Detective-type series, but I hope that the more fantastical, space-related elements of the Green Lantern mythos aren't pushed too much into the background. I also hope that Hal Jordan isn't killed off by the end of it, which I suspect may be the case given the age difference between the actors.
He broke the Bat - but how would Bane fare against Moon Knight? It would be an interesting battle, to be sure. Perhaps the outcome would depend on which of MK's personalities was in control at the time?
The Rocketeer and Batman first shared an adventure on one of my earliest B&B covers, back in 2010. A crude effort, to be sure, so I thought that it was time to feature them together again. Throwing Robin into the mix would be a welcome addition. He might give Cliff Secord someone to relate to.
Oliver Queen has mentored sidekicks before, but never anyone as young as the members of this group. That might make for some interesting interaction between the gruff archer and the wide-eyed youthful heroes.
With Krypto confirmed for the upcoming Superman movie, I think it's high time for a live action Ace the Bat-Hound. Whether as part of the new DCU iteration of Batman or an adaptation of Batman Beyond, we need to see the Dark Knight Dog do his thing.
A Star-Trek-related mission that has to be kept secret from Starfleet, the LSH and FF? I know I'd be interested in finding out just what's going on in this issue. I'm glad I could finally feature this pairing, which I have been meaning to get to since my MTIO: The Lost Issues days.
I remember seeing that cool giant fire monster during the opening credits sequence of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. Alas, he only appeared for a few moments in one episode, taken out easily by Firestar and guest star Sunfire - and he was certainly nowhere near as large as he was depicted during that credits cameo.
Taskmaster is a favorite Marvel villain of mine. It's too bad that the interpretation of the character was somewhat off in Black Widow. Marvel will get another chance when the villain appears in Thunderbolts*. Let's hope this second outing is a bit more effective.
I felt that this team up idea from comics' historian and Patron of this blog Marc Tyler Nobleman was worthy of a follow up story. Regular visitors, may remember the Crimson Avengers first encounter with Earth's Mightiest Heroes in STF #3271. Thanks again for the idea, Marc!
If Marvel movies have taught us anything, it's time travel seems to be a lot more possible by passing through The Microverse. Given that fact, I could definitely see a crossover happening between these two teams.
Just like happened to Captain Marvel and Black Panther a week or so ago in STF #4559, it would seem that two disparate heroes have found themselves working together to thwart a gigantic monster. Yikes, just how many of these big guys are lying in wait?
Undead mobster versus unhinged symbiote - who wins this battle? I guess it all depends on which iteration of Grundy that we are talking about, as his personality and power level can vary from rebirth to rebirth.
Superman has had plenty of experience dealing with ultra powerful imps with the likes of Mr. Mxyzptlk in his rogues gallery. Would that be enough to prepare him for a Calvin hopped up on sugar? It would be fun to find out!
When Ben Woods, a Patron of this blog, suggested this pairing, I had to admit that it was one I had never considered. The more I thought about it, though, the more it appealed to me. I can see these two working well together. Thanks, Ben!
The Blue and Gold team have a way of getting in and out of tight spots, so this is a scenario that I can see happening. You can't wise-crack your way out of a Xenomorph infestation, so I'd like to see how they deal with this particular menace.
With James Gunn's DCU featuring a universe where superheroes have existed for a long time, I really hope that we get a proper Justice Society with Jay Garrick, Ted Grant, Alan Scott and the rest. I'd be happy to see them as older mentors or in their prime in a period piece... or why not both?
Doctor Strange met the Barry Allen Flash back in STF #728...
Zatanna is long overdue for a big screen debut, and I am sure she will be a big part of the cinematic DCU as a team member or even in a solo project. The Shadow had his 90's film, which has its moments - but I think enough time has passed that I'd like to see him adapted again for live action.
These two characters might not have a lot in common, but hey - gigantic monsters storming the countryside would tend to bring all kinds of heroes together. I know that I would read it!
Batman and the modern day Black Knight faced off on a Lost B&B cover from way back in 2010, so I thought that it was high time that he met the original version. I have to imagine that their capes would really get in the way in a swordfight, though!
Pietro Maximoff has a decidedly different personality than Barry Allen or Wally West. It would be interesting to watch the interaction between him and the Flash Rogues. There seems to be at least some respect between them and their usual speedsters, and I's like to see them go a few rounds with the ill-tempered mutant.
Next year we will be seeing Galactus and The Authority in the big screen. Well, Only the Engineer is slated to show up in Superman, but I am sure that seed will be planted for the entire Authority team, as they have an upcoming announced movie of their own. Galactus as a concept has been seen in the movies before, but Fantastic Four: First Steps will at last bring the character to live action. Let's hope everyone is done justice.
This marks the sweet sixteenth appearance of The Danvers Twins on the Blog. Despite the fact that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow has not begun filming yet, Milly Alcock has been seen sporting long blonde hair recently. This has led to speculation that she will be appearing as the famous Kryptonian cousin at least briefly in the upcoming Superman movie. That sounds like a good theory, I'm guessing she will show up right at the end or in a post-credits scene.
