Dick Tracy and Bullseye

 

 I enjoyed the Dick Tracy movie back in the day.  It's been decades since I've watched it, I wonder if it holds up.  One thing I remember that bothered me was they used so many different Tracy villains in one single film, killing most of them off - it seemed like a waste of potential there.  I still think a Dick Tracy streaming series would be a great idea, that way each villain could get an arc or at least an episode to themselves.

Roger Rabbit and Dick Tracy

 

As a big fan of crossovers, I was of course a huge fan of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Not only was the combination of live action and animation done amazingly well (it still holds up today), the film was full of characters sharing the screen that I never expected to see.  Seeing Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny interact was cool, and watching ducks Daffy and Donald in a dueling piano battle was pure bliss.  I wonder if there will ever be a sequel.

Batman and Dick Tracy in: "Knight and Day!"

 

Batman and Dick Tracy previously met in STF #1939 and first appeared together way back in a 2010 B&B Cover.... And this is a pairing that I'd love to see a real world crossover with.  Not just a one-shot, either - I think there's potential for an entire mini series here.  Just imagine  Batman and Tracy's rogues galleries going to war with each other, and our two heroes caught in the middle!  I know I would devour a tale like that. Heck, animate it!

Wildcat and Powers

I am curious about the upcoming Powers series that will be airing on the Playstation Network.  The comic always read like a TV show to me, so I am surprised it has taken this long for an adaptation to come about.  Sharlto Copley and Susan Heyward don't look much like their comic book counterparts Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, but hopefully they will be true to the characterizations that Brian Michael Bendis has given them.  I am also a fan of Michelle Forbes, and it will be cool to see her in another genre related project.

Batman and Powers

Brian Michael Bendis is well known for his Marvel work, but my favorite stories of his are from before he joined the mainstream superhero world.  I enjoyed Jinx and Torso, and especially Powers.  He and artist Michael Avon Oeming told cool stories of cops in a world of superheroes, filled with mystery, plot twists, and great dialogue.  A TV series was recently attempted, but never made it to air.  It's too bad, it would make a cool live action show.
