Super Hero TV shows

And what was that “X-men with the serial numbers filed off” show a few years ago? No costumes or anything. I thought it was a straight-up ripoff until I saw Marvel mentioned in the credits.

Edit: Mutant X.

The only superhero show I couldn't watch was Superboy.
I even watched "The Cape".

Well, drawbacks of SOME kind- the “brick” risked having his cardiopulmonary system blowing out when he used his powers too much.

puts a new meaning on giving from your heart.

Edit:

on the DC comic strain, if the flash does not eat, his glucose could drop out and that has some nasty repercussions. Mine dropped to 47 yesterday and let me tell you that was less then fun. [Fun > x^2]

I actually liked the cape, despite the badly realised villain, the whole circus of crime angle and the spidersilk cape was amusing and a fun nod to the superheroes of the 1930s comic strips (like Mandrake, the Phantom, Batman)

I would have liked to see another season

Perhaps... five more seasons. And maybe a movie.

On the one hand, I can think of a lot of extant heroes that I think would translate well to TV or movies. OTOH, I think it is too easy to screw up a Supers genre show/movie, and wouldn’t want to see many of them warped that way.

It might be interesting, though, to see some more done a la Mutant X, where the characters and situations are similar to but not quite the same as the world of the characters we know. Like the Elseworlds line, or versions of the characters from other dimensions. Hell, an Elseworlds series could be fun. They could do it AHS style, even, with the alternative characters being given a miniseries or whole season.

DC did OK with Gotham By Gaslight. 1602 was cool. A storyline in which a Merlin-esque figure uses the powers of the original Green Lantern or Starman devices could be cool.

Then there are characters like Adam Strange, who could really fill the void of series like Flash Gordon or the old Commando Cody serials.

Or imagine all the stories that could be told about the Legion of Super Heroes. Or involving the Kree, Skrull & Shi’Ar empires.

Hey a Fantastic Four TV show!




Well, maybe not.

There will be an Elseworlds miniseries of sorts. The Arrowverse crossovers this year will feature it.

That is going to be awesome. Batwoman, Superman, Lois Lane...
