sorry it would not be the same Superman without Christopher Reeves. Kinda like you cant make another Smokey and the Bandit without Jackie Gleason  as  Sheriff Buford T Justice        

And Vampirella would have to be rated X as it is a somewhat adult comic less than that and it would not be the same.

Barbarella rated R if you want to do it justice I do belive the first one was rated R anyway

Spiderman 2 and 3 the first one was stupid even the effects wernt all that great.

Iron man that might be worth watching.

Like to see Green Lantern made

Wonder woman dontcha mean Wonder boobs that was the only reason watch that show in the 70's

Shazam was corny
 
Batman begins maybe we will see the 1940's style batmobile

Bout all id be interested in.

Green Hornet with Jet Li as Cato... couldn't do that any better.

Wonder if Batman Begins will give the Caped Crusader the pair of .45 ACP's that he originally had in the comics for when his 'wonderful toys' weren't quite enough?

And I can't wait to see Iron Man... as long as they start before Tony Stark gets hurt and keep to the story and keep it simple. I think that Nic Cage would actually make a decent Tony Stark... or maybe Willim DeFoe.

 Fantastic Four will be another good one, as long as it's done right and they don't try to place marketing and special effects above quality acting.

Doc Strange, Elektra would be cool.  Superman vs. Batman will also be great if and only if they follow the comic book.  I don't expect that to happen since that would mean that The Joker among others would die.  Green Lantern and Fantastic Four would also be good if it is done right and with today?s CGI I think it would be.  That is the reason IMHO all these companies are doing these movies now because the special effects has caught up with writers imagination.  BTW Fantastic Four was tried back in the '90's, I only know this because a guy at the University I went to got the part of Ben Grimm / The Thing.  As far as I could tell it never made it to film because the effects needed to make this film happen could not be done as needed.

From what I heard, it wasn't som much the 'couldn't be done' issue as a 'didn't want to do it right' issue. An article came out not to long ago that said the studio was going to loose the rights to the franchise if they didn't make a movie by like, '98 or so, and consequently they made a low-budget version just to keep the option on the movie rights to future Fantastic Four movies.

With the recent trend in comic movies becoming big draws, I imagine that this time, they will break the bank on the new F4 movie.

Wow thats a big list some of those I'm looking forward to, some of those not so much.   Punisher2 and 3 I will wait and see while the movie was good fun it didn't seem to capture the psychotic mercyless punisher to me but over all I enjoyied the film.  The new batman sounds like it's going to be good from what I heard hopefully it won't disappoint.  They really have screwed up the X-men timeline but I think they have been pretty true to the characters and produced entertaing movies.  Wolverine could be good but could turn into just a big marketing scam to cash in on his popularity which would be  ashame since he is such a cool character.    Mayber we can get a Wolverine Punisher movie while were at it :-).  Hellboy probably has been my favorite superhero movie so far hopefully theyll continue.  Hopefully this fad of superhero movies will lead to growth and building of these types of movies instead of just a bunch of crap.  Wooohooo speaking of comics tomorrows wednesday new comics .
