If we’re counting television, Zatanna had her live action debut all the way back on Smallville, played by Serinda Swan. Had an entire episode dedicated to her, and even got her full comic accurate costume and powers. Shame they didn’t do more with her, as it’s really hard to imagine a more perfect casting.
A great list Characters that need to be on the big screen. Crossing my fingers to see Silver Sable and Power Girl in particular, but would love to see any of them. Good video. Keep them coming.
Black Cat definitely is long overdue not only for that complicated "relationship" with Spiderman, but also because her look would seem to really be easy to pull off on screen. As always, great video and research James!
I recently found out that Erik Larsen self-published graphic fantasy in the city I live in. So it turns out that a lot of them are hanging out in my town still to this day!
First, happy Thanksgiving. Second, Alpha Flight's Easter egg in Deadpool 2 is one of my favorites in that movie. Third, I'm on board about Beta Ray Bill being a missed opportunity.
On the opposite side I am shocked how many times Swamp Thing has had so many live action and animated versions.... even though I am a fan of the character.
Totally off the subject- I watched your Batman key issues video yesterday and wanted to let you know I JUST bought 1 of the books you suggested. I'm collecting all the Batmans and Detective Comics I can before I die(for my grandson) and this was a big help. Thanks! Looking forward to more and btw I really need that Miles Morales slab in my life when the time comes. 😁
Video Idea: could you do a video going through the biggest key issue/ most valuable comic released by year? I think it would be pretty interesting to see, I have no idea what would be the most valuable issue of the year for the majority of the 50s and it would also be cool to see what's valuable pre 1938 Action Comics #1, like Detective Comics #1 and early issues of More Fun Comics. I am also curious which years pack the most expensive key issues into it like 1962 and which years are surprisingly under represented with major issues. Anyways, great video and keep up the good content!
Just off the top of my head - Bishop, Archangel, Machine Man, Absorbing Man (yes, I know there was a watered down version in the SHIELD show), Deathlok (Luther Manning), Starjammers, Warlord (DC)
If Vg on grading scale (3.5_4.5) is below average. On Thanksgiving, and I get very good when I ask how they been, do I say I'm sorry to hear that what is wrong?
One more honorable mention Xero.....super underrated Former DC superhero...hopefully 50 Cent brings character to silver screen as he proposed Zatanna on Smallville was awesome
Actually insane we’ve never gotten Zatanna. So glad I picked that one up last year. My copy was closer to $300.😊 It’s kind of wild that we’ve not gotten Black Cat. I feel every series of Spider-Man movies would’ve had her in just that *next* movie. We can only hope she pops up in Spider-Man 4!
Love Mr Sinister as an upcoming X Men villain on screen . Uncanny x-men 2nd print is super hard to get in VF or above and super rare compared to the first print ….
It’s one thing for them to have an appearance, and another in which they give the character justice in the adaptation. There are lots of examples when the hero that everyone wants to see on the big screen flops so bad that they never do it again or at least for a long time ….(Ryan Reynolds GL)
If Marvel decides to make another Deadpool, which I don’t see why they wouldn’t, I can see Alpha Flight making an appearance. I think it’d be kind of fun seeing Deadpool interact with them. There was a Balder Easter egg in Loki season 2. Damian Wayne is coming in James Gunn’s DCU Brave and the Bold, can’t wait to see that.
Hey James, I have a comic that I bought out of a dollar bin, A Gambit comic from the 90s, I believe. I’m pretty sure it’s the first meeting of Gambit and Blade in comics, possibly their only meeting? I bought it on a whim because of their meeting in the Deadpool movie. Do you think it could possibly become a minor key or something of that nature?
For a big bad, Mr Sinister has been at the top of my list or a good Apocalypse (I know we had him, but not really). For a good, Damien Wayne is going to be a nice one or Batman Beyond would blow my mind.
I know some of these have been done but not well haha so id like to see them do a new X-men arc - Forge, beast, jubilee, Mr Sinister, Sentinals, omega red and so on...Give it an R rating and make it dark like the latest penguin series or Kraven the Hunter and it would be sick!
I think Lobo would be one that should be in movies. He could easily be DC version of a deadpool movie. I think the flop of the Marvels and Madam web are two reasons we aren't seeing more female characters in movies but hopefully that will change. I would love a justice league dark movie.
I would love to see Power Girl or Magik or Starfire or Enchantress (Thor) or Black Cat or Silver Sable. I saw someone mention Sydney Sweeney, she'd be perfect except maybe Anya Taylor Joy for Starfire cause she looks weird. Or that one from Agents of Shield who looked weird, and apparently turned out to be part alien Zatanna, Vampirella, Red Sonja, Red Monika. There was a Black Cat Silver Sable movie in the works, but it got cancelled
Another great episode, does Firestorm still count since there's only been a poor man's version on TV. Honorable mentions Marvel Solo Doc Samson DC Bronze Tiger Checkmate Gang buster Power girl hopefully they make her look comicbook accurate!!!
Beta Ray Bill did get a nod in Thor Ragnarok but I'd expect to see him in Secret Wars if we do at all. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sinister in the new post secret wars X-Men films. If we don't see Annihilus, I'd like to see Onslaught, or even as a tie in to the Thor universe have Angela make an appearance. Honestly I'd like to see the Phoenix done properly as well, not just jump to dark Phoenix every time.
Surprised this just wasn't a rant on the 30-50 lantern corps members not listed . Atrocitus, Star Sapphire, etc..... He did defend the lanterns on saying Kyle Raynor is an "A list super hero". Bit of a stretch The DC characters are hard because there is a ton in arrowverse that I havnt dug into. Gladiator, Angela, and Tony Masters probably some bigger names than some others mentioned
They should never a rush an on-screen debut for the modern age characters. As we've seen, the ticket buyers want the OG known characters for live action.
🤔 Ok, how about Solomon Grundy, Scorpion, Brainiac, vampirella, court of owls, hobgoblin, Doc Samson, Typhoid Mary, Mephisto, Enchantress (Thor), Omega Red. Just a few more that would be nice to see one day….maybe.
Feel like it’s just a matter of time that James Gunn incorporates those Justice League Dark characters in the DCU. Deadman, Etrigan and Zatanna are to great to not include.
Hey Mint-Hunter Comics i was wondering would it be a good buy to get a Captain Britain #1 (with the original mask) for 80 bucks in a VF. I Have my eye on one and i am kind of torn when it comes to if i should get it. PS, elongated man appeared in the CW, but not Plastic Man.
If we’re counting television, Zatanna had her live action debut all the way back on Smallville, played by Serinda Swan. Had an entire episode dedicated to her, and even got her full comic accurate costume and powers. Shame they didn’t do more with her, as it’s really hard to imagine a more perfect casting.
Beta Ray Bill’s inclusion into Thor 4 would have kept me interested in that movie. I’m looking forward to Deathlok having his own movie.
A great list Characters that need to be on the big screen. Crossing my fingers to see Silver Sable and Power Girl in particular, but would love to see any of them. Good video. Keep them coming.
There was a Black Cat Silver Sable movie in the works, but it got cancelled
Black Cat definitely is long overdue not only for that complicated "relationship" with Spiderman, but also because her look would seem to really be easy to pull off on screen.
As always, great video and research James!
I would love to see a live action Beta Ray Bill!!
Honestly I would love a romcom about Nightwing and Starfire. Batgirl could be crying in the background.
It will be nice to see a couple of these hit the big screen
Although there was a TV movie in the 90s, there is still potential for a big screen Power Pack. Also, have we had a live action Captain Atom, yet?
Really like these type of videos, please keep them coming!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I recently found out that Erik Larsen self-published graphic fantasy in the city I live in. So it turns out that a lot of them are hanging out in my town still to this day!
Live action Plastic Man was on TV in the 80’s . He hosted the Plastic Man cartoon show .
First, happy Thanksgiving.
Second, Alpha Flight's Easter egg in Deadpool 2 is one of my favorites in that movie.
Third, I'm on board about Beta Ray Bill being a missed opportunity.
On the opposite side I am shocked how many times Swamp Thing has had so many live action and animated versions.... even though I am a fan of the character.
I Would love to see a batman beyond movie. It was one of my favorite shows in the DC animated universe.
Outstanding, I can't wait to see these heroes and villains on the big screen
Power Pack. One of the only things keeping me from selling my near complete run. Hold out for that big screen.
They will probably get in when Franklin Richards gets in, since they are buddies.
There was a television movie of the Power Pack, spotted it on YT recently..
Again, another banger on your list. Love your show. Keep it up
Beta Ray Bill would be great n Deadman definitely underated
I'm so shocked we haven't gotten bill yet....
Wasn’t there a bust of Bill on the tower in Thor Ragnorok?
Totally off the subject- I watched your Batman key issues video yesterday and wanted to let you know I JUST bought 1 of the books you suggested. I'm collecting all the Batmans and Detective Comics I can before I die(for my grandson) and this was a big help. Thanks! Looking forward to more and btw I really need that Miles Morales slab in my life when the time comes. 😁
Maybe we'll get a Geiger movie someday. His first appearance is easy, since he's a new character and all.
I really hope we see the Valiant Universe on the big screen sometime soon. I need a Turok, Shadowman, and an actually good Bloodshot movie.
Would love to see a Clayface on the big screen but would really also be very excited to see Ventriloquist as well.
I woke up this morning to literally see Matt Reeves Clayface news lol
Detective 40 $10k is lol I mean well worth it but that is some serious dough. I have never even seen that book in real life. Too sick 🤘😀🤘
I really hope the Ventriloquist shows up in The Batman 2. Mad hatter would be cool too.
Nice vid. I'd love to see the Hobgoblin on the big screen. Also with modern special effects, I think the U-Foes would be cool. Happy Thanksgiving.
Lol I saw that Hyperion first on eBay ending on auction. Was near mint got it for like 30 bucks
Video Idea: could you do a video going through the biggest key issue/ most valuable comic released by year? I think it would be pretty interesting to see, I have no idea what would be the most valuable issue of the year for the majority of the 50s and it would also be cool to see what's valuable pre 1938 Action Comics #1, like Detective Comics #1 and early issues of More Fun Comics. I am also curious which years pack the most expensive key issues into it like 1962 and which years are surprisingly under represented with major issues. Anyways, great video and keep up the good content!
My most key year guess would be 1984 or thereabouts
Here’s hoping we get Sydney Sweeney, black cat prettysoon
Waiting on Silk, I wouldn't even mind seeing her in into the spiderverse.
Darkhawk ...would love to see him in a movie.
He would look so cool
Just off the top of my head - Bishop, Archangel, Machine Man, Absorbing Man (yes, I know there was a watered down version in the SHIELD show), Deathlok (Luther Manning), Starjammers, Warlord (DC)
I own about a dozen issues of warlord. Easily the best sword and sorcery title dc ever made.
Bishop was in days of future psst
@@roygibb8740 you're correct. But it didn't do him justice.
A Nolan Batman Beyond Return of the Joker would be crazy 🔥
I want Mongul to make that big appearance I keep hearing about!👍
Patiently waiting for Black Cat and Miles.
great video glad to see you growing the channel
Places like yours make me wish I lived in the east coast
Specter/Jim Corrigan was live action on the Constantine TV show (NBC version) but not on the big screen as far as I am aware.
Keep up the good work
I think it would be kind of cool to see them introduce Black Cat in the next Spider-Man movie, but Miles is definitely overdue also.
Ventriloquist and Scarface!
My choice would be that golden age hero Spectre.
If Vg on grading scale (3.5_4.5) is below average. On Thanksgiving, and I get very good when I ask how they been, do I say I'm sorry to hear that what is wrong?
I used to joke about a Creatrure Commandos show, but we're getting that... So, Universe, I'm waiting for my B'wana Beast movie!
I’m still stunned that Disney, the makers behind dozens of princess movies, still hasn’t used Squirrel Girl in the MCU in any way.
One more honorable mention
Xero.....super underrated Former DC superhero...hopefully 50 Cent brings character to silver screen as he proposed
Zatanna on Smallville was awesome
Really excited for the new FF movie. Hoping they bring in many of their classic supporting cast.
Actually insane we’ve never gotten Zatanna. So glad I picked that one up last year. My copy was closer to $300.😊
It’s kind of wild that we’ve not gotten Black Cat. I feel every series of Spider-Man movies would’ve had her in just that *next* movie. We can only hope she pops up in Spider-Man 4!
New subscriber here I love your content. I just got back into collecting and watching your videos really helps me out
I seem to remember a CW Zantanna appearance...
🎯The Enchantres is also another major Thor character never seen.
Which Alpha Flight members have we seen make live action cameos? James and Heather as old folks back in 2009's Wolverine Origins?
Hey James, how about a video with mini-reviews of your recent bedtime reading? I’m always interested in your reading recommendations! 🤩
I’ve thought about it! If I can make time for a video series that’s what it will be!
Good list damn I really wanted the specters first appearance oh well😂😂😂😂
Clayface is what I want to see. One of my favorites.
We need zatanna
Spectre was in the Constantine show.
I mentioned Spectre was in tv but not movies
How can you forget about Azrael 😂
Love Mr Sinister as an upcoming X Men villain on screen . Uncanny x-men 2nd print is super hard to get in VF or above and super rare compared to the first print ….
I've had a Bunch of these......sadly sold most of them pre-2021.😢 so, needless to say, i didn't max out they returns.
It’s one thing for them to have an appearance, and another in which they give the character justice in the adaptation.
There are lots of examples when the hero that everyone wants to see on the big screen flops so bad that they never do it again or at least for a long time ….(Ryan Reynolds GL)

Zatanna, Vampirella, Red Sonja, Red Monika.
There was a Black Cat Silver Sable movie in the works, but it got cancelled
Another great episode, does Firestorm still count since there's only been a poor man's version on TV.
Honorable mentions
Marvel
Solo
Doc Samson
DC
Bronze Tiger
Checkmate
Gang buster
Power girl hopefully they make her look comicbook accurate!!!
I would ❤ to see Alpha Flight!
Dang I thought Zatanna's first appearance was in a DC title (Hawkman) not marvel (Hawkeye) 😅 siick crossover
I hope you make 40,000 subscribers
Can you confirm which official movie Lobo appeared in? Need to see it...
How cool would a ROM show be?? Or tomb of Dracula, mummy, Frankenstein, or zombie.
Beta Ray Bill did get a nod in Thor Ragnarok but I'd expect to see him in Secret Wars if we do at all. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sinister in the new post secret wars X-Men films. If we don't see Annihilus, I'd like to see Onslaught, or even as a tie in to the Thor universe have Angela make an appearance. Honestly I'd like to see the Phoenix done properly as well, not just jump to dark Phoenix every time.
Arnold Wesker with Scarface. I'm aware Scarface appeared on "Gotham." But he wasn't with Arnold Wesker.
Captain Britain would be nice. But I’m all for Batman beyond. My favorite dc character.
Like the list. I think their should be a blue marvel. It would work with the black captain America. Even tho right now, he is not a list.
Hoping for a lot of these but Mister Sinister, gimme
excellent
Surprised this just wasn't a rant on the 30-50 lantern corps members not listed . Atrocitus, Star Sapphire, etc.....
He did defend the lanterns on saying Kyle Raynor is an "A list super hero". Bit of a stretch
The DC characters are hard because there is a ton in arrowverse that I havnt dug into.
Gladiator, Angela, and Tony Masters probably some bigger names than some others mentioned
Some good prices on some of these.
I would really like to see Black Cat join Spiderman
Id love to see Machine Man & the Micronauts done right, in a film 🎥
They should never a rush an on-screen debut for the modern age characters. As we've seen, the ticket buyers want the OG known characters for live action.
How about existing movie characters that are one-dimensional (Sabretooth)?
🤔
Ok, how about Solomon Grundy, Scorpion, Brainiac, vampirella, court of owls, hobgoblin, Doc Samson, Typhoid Mary, Mephisto, Enchantress (Thor), Omega Red.
Just a few more that would be nice to see one day….maybe.
Feel like it’s just a matter of time that James Gunn incorporates those Justice League Dark characters in the DCU. Deadman, Etrigan and Zatanna are to great to not include.
LOBO would be a great film adaptation.
Hey Mint-Hunter Comics i was wondering would it be a good buy to get a Captain Britain #1 (with the original mask) for 80 bucks in a VF. I Have my eye on one and i am kind of torn when it comes to if i should get it. PS, elongated man appeared in the CW, but not Plastic Man.
I'm still expecting Doctor Aphra to pop up in a Star Wars show.
Same. Or an Indiana Jones in Star Wars style movie. She has a lot of potential
I wanna see a Deathstroke movie or show
I hope they don't mess up Miles Morales' live action. I would be so sad. He's such a great character.
I want to see Booster Gold.
Elongated Man was in the CW's Flash.
I mentioned that in the video
I would love zatanna
felicia hardy is in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 from 2014 just not as her black cat persona
No Zatanna is downright illegal!
Hobgoblin?
Missing Live action version of Tombstone.
I'm really waiting for Beta Ray Bill.
SAME
Yeah.... No Balder or BR Bill already was strange to me
I’m hoping to see Silk in the MCU (and not in a Sony movie)
