Snake Eyes Vs. Bane

 

Usually Bane is a man of few words, but even he has more to say than snake eyes.  I am sure that the action in this tale would make up for the limited conversation within.  

Hawkgirl and Red Sonja

 I see this issue as 22 pages of nonstop action.  Both of these heroes are warriors that any army would be glad to have on their side.  The question is, who called them in to action?

The Atom and Transformers

 

Continuing our Two-Part Epic, we see just where Megatron has been hiding out. There were some rumblings about The Atom getting his own movie, with Ryan Choi and Ray Palmer - but that was well before Discovery took over Warner Bros. and started axing projects left and right, so I am going to assume that whatever was planned has gone away.  I am guessing that we'll just have to wait a few months for the dust to settle before we start getting a true idea of what the future of DC's cinematic universe will look like, and if B-listers like The Atom will get a chance to shine.

The Ray and Sunspot

I have to agree with an observation made in the comments to a previous cover by Blog Patron Bob Greenwade - these two really do look like they go together.  Depicted as pitch black figures that nevertheless give off glowing energy when they are powered up, they each provide a dynamic visual to go along with their heroic exploits.  I can imagine a story in which they would seek one another out due to their similarities in appearance and abilities.

The Beast and Robin in: "Penny Pincher!"

This serves as a direct sequel to STF # 2134,  taking place just minutes later.  Now we have a clearer idea of what Hank McCoy was doing breaking into the Batcave.  That story always stuck in my head and I've been meaning to create a follow up for a while now.  I think he would get along with Dick Grayson, they would probably compare aerialist moves.

The Jonses

I've featured the relationships between J'onn and Angelica as well as Jessica and Casey on the blog before, and I thought that it was time to put them together as a whole family.  OK, I am bracing myself for the comments - Where's Indiana?  Wheres Rick, Where's Osmosis? Where's Bridget? Where's Barnaby? Where's Fred?  Where's Cleopatra? Where's Jimbo?  Where's Samantha?  Where's Velvet? Well, there's no rule that says all Jonses are related, but maybe in a sequel one or two of them could show up.

Katana Vs. Storm Shadow

Katana is an interesting character.  Since her debut in Brave and the Bold #200, I've always tried to keep track of her.  Once she left The Outsiders, she seemed to move around as a supporting player in various teams, with plenty of costume changes.  I was cool to see her in live action in Suicide Squad, but unfortunately she was given very little to do there.  I never did get around to reading her short lived solo comics series.  I'd like to see her working alongside Halo again, I really enjoyed their big sister/little sister relationship from the Batman and The Outsiders days.

Snake Eyes Vs. Deathlok

Has Deathlok ever appeared in animated form?  I remember the Spider-Man 90's cartoon had a ton of guest stars and cameos, so maybe he showed up there.  I am not up on all of the recent Marvel/Disney animated shows. maybe he's appeared on one of those as well.  At any rate, it would be cool to see - I'd love an animated version of his team up with Captain America from the 80's.

Gamora and The Martian Manhunter

It has been reported that David Goyer has expressed a reticence to use The Martian Manhunter in the the DC films because he feels like the character is too outlandish to work onscreen.  I hope those sentiments were put to rest once Guardians of the Galaxy became a smash hit.  That film froved that a green skinned alien would work just fine... right alongside a talking raccoon and tree creature, to boot! Let's get with the program, DC execs!

Nightwing and Iron Fist

We've heard the casting announcements for Netflix Daredevil, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones.  The only series we are still waiting for word on a lead actor is Iron Fist.  I have read rumors of Zac Ephron and Charlie Hunnam, but neither really fits the role in my mind.  Marvel always seems to come up with out of left field casting choices that somehow work, so I'll trust their judgment on this one.  Hopefully whoever they select will be able to showcase some cool martial arts moves as well as acting chops.

By the way... did you know that The Lost Issues has lost issues of its own?  I'll be presenting them on this blog as just one of the special features of the STF 1000th Issue Spectacular!  Coming up in just over a week!

Hawkman and Darkhawk

Hawkman has to be one of the most difficult characters to pull off in live action.  The helmet is tough to get to sit right on the head and look good from all angles, bare arms on a costume tend to appear scrawny unless the actor has a huge build, and wings often come off as too CGI-looking.  Still, films like Malificent show that it is possible to have a great looking winged character.  If done with care, Hawkman could be very impressive on the big screen, and I hope we get the chance to see that one day.

Wolverine Vs. Snake Eyes

I saw a recent unused scene that was featured as an extra on the Blu-Ray release of The Wolverine.  It showed Logan being given a box to open up, and inside is the classic Wolverine costume from the comics.  Now, I am not sure how that would look with someone wearing it, but it definitely looks cool right there.  Sadly, it seems that this was just included as a nod to the fans, and we shouldn't expect to see Logan suiting up any time soon.  I'd love to see them try to give it a shot, though.
