Blackhawk and Hellboy

 

These pilots have seen a lot in their adventures, but would they be prepared for a collaboration with The B.P.R.D.?  It would be fun to find out.  Thanks to Patrick McLaughlin for this suggestion!

The Flash and Monkeyman & O'Brien

 

Apes and comic books have been intertwined for as long as I can remember.  For my money, nobody illustrates primate action better than Art Adams.  That's just one reason that his Monkeyman & O'Brien stories are such a fun read.

Hellboy Vs. Aliens

 Hellboy has made a career of dealing with giant monsters, so I think that a mission featuring Xenomorphs would be right up his alley.  Having Mignola on the art chores would make the story even better.

Ghost Vs. The Ghost

 

This is a pairing that was requested by Bob Greenwade, frequent commenter and Patron of this Blog. Thanks, Bob!  My only question is how do two characters engage in battle when they can't make physical contact with each other?  That would be a problem for the writer to figure out, I guess!

Catwoman and Hellboy meet Boo Berry

 

I am always happy to feature the artwork of Mike Mignola on this blog.  Just seeing these three together already starts a story rolling around in my mind, and having it illustrated by a master of light and dark like Mignola would truly make it into something special.

Daredevil and Grendel

 

I feel like these two would go well in a story together. They seem to run in the same circles.  There's definitely a great film noir type story to be told.

Hellboy and Gargoyles

 

There was talk of a live action Gargoyles movie a few years ago, but I haven't heard much about it since the projects announcement.  It appears to still be in development, so hopefully we will hear about some forward momentum soon.  If done right, it could be a very cool film.  Thanks to Mike Shirley, a Patron of this Blog, for suggesting this team up!

Brother Voodoo and Hellboy

 

Has anybody checked out the Hellboy: The Crooked Man movie?  The reviews that I saw during its brief run said that the limited budget was very noticeable, but that the story was pretty faithful to the comics. I couldn't even finish the previous David Harbour Hellboy movie, so I hope it is better than that.

The Spectre and Young Hellboy

 

The adventures of Superman when he was a boy may have been retconned away, but I am glad that Hellboy's history has stayed intact at least.  It's cool to see the younger version of the BPRD's most famous member.  The Spectre was able to work well with others in his first few years as a hero, so I can see this team up happening.

Devil Dinosaur and Hellboy

 

A big red bruiser with a tail?  Something tells me that Hellboy would feel a bit of kinship with Devil Dinosaur. It would be a hoot to see them share an adventure together.

Madman and Krypto

 

James Gunn has proven very adept at including animal characters in his films.  There have been rumors that Krypto will be making his big screen debut in the DCU, and I can't wait to see how that is handled.  Let's hope Ace the Bat Hound isn't too far behind!

Batman and Monkeyman & O'Brien

 

These guys never hit the big time like Batman did, but I always got a kick out of their stories.  Creator Art Adams put whatever he loved to draw into those tales - apes, beautiful women, freaky aliens, exotic locales and of course, monsters.  Each issue they appeared in was definitely a feast for the eyes.

Metamorpho and Hellboy

 

These two always seemed to have similar personalities to me, so I suspect that they would work well together. Hellboy is always coming across strange looking beings with fantastical powers, so joining forces with Rex Mason would just be another day on the job for him.

Samurai Jack, Young Hellboy and Casper

 To my surprise it seems that there is yet a third live action film incarnation of Hellboy in the works.  At first, I thought it was just speculation, but casting announcements have already been made.  Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be co-written by Mike Mignola and star Jack Kesy in the title role.  It will be interesting to see how this attempt fares in comparison to the other two.

Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. and Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot

 

It sounds like the Arrowverse on the CW is coming to an end.  Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow have already been cancelled, with Naomi expected to follow and The Flash will conclude after a shortened final season.  Superman and Lois is safe for now and Stargirl's fate has not been mentioned.  I believe the third season has been filming though, so hopefully we will get a solid conclusion to the series.

I am happy to use the art of the incredibly detailed Geoff Darrow here.  I was lucky enough to pick up a matching pair of sketches by him several years back:  

Grendel Vs. Manhunter

 

I am always happy to use the unique and moody art of Matt Wagner on this blog.  I remember first seeing his artwork on a Demon mini-series in the 80's, and I have been a fan ever since.  Even back when original art prices were more reasonable, I was never able to afford a cover or splash page by him, but I was able to pick up this preliminary sketch that he did for one of my favorite Green Arrow covers: 

Hellboy Vs. Eclipso

 

I was interested to read that Ron Perlman say that, despite now being in his 70's, he is willing to do one more movie to finish out his Hellboy trilogy if the studios want to make it and if Guillermo Del Toro is ready to direct.  I'm guessing this would ignore the ill-received reboot from a few years ago.  I know I'd be interested, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for Universal Pictures or whoever has the rights today to greenlight the project. I'd definitely want Liz to return as well, but Selma Blair has her own medical issues these days, I don't know how much acting she still does.  Still, I'd love to be pleasantly surprised, I like the first two Hellboy movies quite a bit.

Dick Tracy and The Rocketeer in: "The Case of the Dormant Informant!"

Regular visitors to this blog will know that this cover serves as a direct sequel to STF #2805, in which these two heroes first pursued Rats McTattler.  It looks like they weren't the only ones in hot pursuit!  I felt that the tale was worthy of a follow-up as these two pulp heroes really do seem to go well together.

Ambush Bug and Bug

Three energetic characters named bug from three different companies, all with a predominantly green color scheme.  It's only natural that they would gravitate to one another in the the nonstop party known as the STF universe!  With their fun personalities, I'm thinking that a story featuring this trio would be an enjoyable romp.

Batgirl and The Rocketeer

Lots of rumors are swirling as to what it will mean if Michael Keaton does indeed return to the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman for a The Flash and more DC movies.  Reports that he will be taking on a mentor role has folks (myself included) hoping to see a Batman Beyond film.  Then there's the rumor that he will be a guiding hand in a Batgirl movie.  I think that could kind of work, it will be interesting to see what kind of direction is taken with it.
