Who says a Superhero film can't also be a horror movie, and a Rated R one at that?? It would be great to see The Phantom Stranger coming to the rescue of a family haunted by demons or ghost like in The Conjuring films. Special effects and CGI have finally caught up presenting a proper Phantom Stranger or Spectre tale!

Especially if they were going up against a group like the Dark Circle! What started out in the Silver Age as two different groups with the same name, separated by a thousand years, could be integrated into centuries-old secret society headed by Vandal Savage! After all; there's textual evidence in the now-classic LSH/STAR TREK:TOS crossover that Savage and Dr. Who met, at least, once before.<br /><br />Hence, the Phantom Stranger being a good choice to partner any of the Doctors with (4th, 7th, 11th, or otherwise). Any of the four classic origins ascribed to him, by DC, is valid. With me? I can just as easily see him as the full-grown son of Batman and Zatanna from an alternate future!Carycomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16657443977195909129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-3949925677128485872016-06-14T13:58:12.949-04:002016-06-14T13:58:12.949-04:00I know such an actor who could portray the guy--Te...I know such an actor who could portray the guy--Ted Danson.Mr. Acerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751958390143980888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-59190721584532808732016-06-14T13:17:13.908-04:002016-06-14T13:17:13.908-04:00Craig: "Has anyone ever told you that you'...Craig: "Has anyone ever told you that you're a bit strange?"<br />Doctor: "They never actually stop, really."<br />-- from the <i>Doctor Who</i> episode "The Lodger"<br /><br />That exchange is what this cover made me think of, and for that reason I think the 11th Doctor is a perfect fit with the Phantom Stranger. I don't think any other, except perhaps the 7th, could have quite the strength of chemistry with ol' Shadow-Eyes.<br /><br />And I agree with Sonofjack: use the Phantom Stranger in an occasional appearance in the TV series. He might similarly make a brief appearance in a JLA sequel, but with limited screen time. (And he's one of only a couple of DCU characters that I think I could portray on the screen myself!)Bob Greenwadehttp://lulu.com/spotlight/bobgreenwadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-79112408257195346972016-06-14T10:53:28.177-04:002016-06-14T10:53:28.177-04:00Great title.Great title.Bob Buethehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624148139233566430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-77870438525484784642016-06-14T09:43:57.158-04:002016-06-14T09:43:57.158-04:00Powerful but limited screen time... such is the cu...Powerful but limited screen time... such is the curse of the Phantom Stranger.follow me...noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730409500376659257.post-54241481556090994732016-06-14T08:54:09.982-04:002016-06-14T08:54:09.982-04:00i think he would work better among the television ...i think he would work better among the television DC Universe than the cinematic DC universe.
