Zatanna and The Shadow

 

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.

The Sentry Vs. Black Adam

 

For the penultimate chapter in this 5-Part Tale, we see the solo Avenger that is ready to go one on one against a supercharged Black Adam!  It's a relief to finally get that menace out of the way... but wait, it feels like there is still a loose end. Oh yeah - Galactus is still out there!  Make sure you come back tomorrow for the thrilling conclusion!

Hawkman Vs. Venom

Venom was a weird movie, but I found it oddly entertaining.  The sequel is shaping up to be even weirder.  With the undisputed master of motion capture Andy Serkis named as director, I think we can count on plenty of symbiote craziness.  Plus we will have Woody Harrelson as Carnage entering the fray.  It should be a wild ride.

Robin and Moon Knight

The agreement not to use any characters form the Netflix shows in the MCU for a couple of years takes a lot of Marvel's street level characters off the table for now.  Moon Knight never made it to Netflix, despite some discussions, so he is fair game however.  Besides, I'm betting Marvel would love to outdo Batman with their own eccentric tortured billionaire that spends his nights as a costumed vigilante.  Let's hope they bring him to the big screen at some point.

Moon Knight first met Robin (along with Batgirl) in STF #1432...

Hawkman and The Falcon in "Alien Inheritance!"

I loved watching The Falcon in Captain America: the Winter Soldier and I am hoping to see a lot more of him.  It sounds like I may get my wish as Anthony Mackie is in the cast list for Avengers: The Age of Ultron and is rumored to also possible be making an appearance in Ant-Man.  I thought I might have to wait until Captain America: Civil War to watch him take flight again, but it looks as though there will be some cool Falcon action before then.

These two crossed paths once before, way back in STF #41.

Justice League of America and Spider-Woman

With all the crazy rumors about plans to continue and expand the Amazing Spider-Man franchise (Sinister Six, All-Female Spider Team, Aunt May Prequel) floating around, I am surprised we have not heard of the most sensible route - a Spider-Woman solo film.  Jessica Drew has one of the great comic costumes and  a cool origin.  Her story is also quite different than Peter Parker's, which would set it apart from the previous films.  Maybe it's a rights issue... if that's the case, put her in The Avengers!

Doctor Mid-Nite and Moon Knight

These guys both have pretty impractical costumes for crime fighting, but I give them a pass because they just look so cool.  An all-white costume is probably not the best choice for a night-based hero like Moon Knight, and Dr. Mid-Nite's duds look kind of heavy and clunky for running around in.  That's the beauty of comics though, you don't have to be so beholden to functionality.  These outfits look great on the printed page, and that's what matters most.

Hawkman and The Falcon

I have always loved the Falcon's classic look.  His very first costume was all right, but when he added the wings and changed the color scheme to red and white, he became one of the coolest looking superheroes around.  I remember I used to have a Falcon Mego action figure and the costume looked really cool there, too (unlike the Human Torch for instance, who had red long johns with flames printed on them).  I don't think Mego ever made a Hawkman figure - the bulky wings were probably an issue I guess.  It would have been cool to see how they would have done the helmet.

Hawkman and The Angel

It's too bad the because of the wonky continuity we will never see The Angel in a true X-Men: First Class movie with the original team.  I  figured we would have to wait for an inevitable reboot, but considering the success of the last X-movie installment that may be a long way off.  Hawkman has gone quite a revamping looks-wise in the New DCU - I assume that like most of the costume changes DC did it was with an eye towards making live action adaptations easier.  The new helmet, like the old one, looks cool but not every artist can depict it effectively.  I do think it might translate better to live action, but I would still miss the classic look.
