I would love to see somebody make a Star Wars storybook whose art was taken entirely from the various comic books that inspired George Lucas and his team. Many of the word balloons could be left unaltered, or nearly so.

Many of the word balloons could be left unaltered, or nearly so. Well, unfortunately, the Lensman comic didn't adapt the EE Smith novels; but, instead, the Japanese anime series, which dumped most of the books. So, the attack on the Rebel freighter is a bit harder to do. Mostly, you'd have Kirby, with a bit of Valerian (more with Empire) and some Cody Starbuck (which drew as much from Northwest Smith as Lucas did).

The best thing the DCEU could do now is bring back Michael Keaton and produce a "Batman VS Beetlejuice" film (with Keaton playing both roles). Beetlejuice is a WB property so that could be done. In fact, bring back Jack Nicholson as the Joker and make it Batman VS Joker & Beetlejuice!

Don't take the post too seriously. I was just having silly thoughts about 80s crossover ideas, e.g. Ghostbusters VS The Thing, Back To The Future/Tron, and Star Trek/Willow.

Maybe the people who did the new Banana Splits movie would buy that one. I think a Harlem Globetrotters revival is due... they could meet Barney Rubble, The Thing, The Shmoo and the new Chucky... yoo hoo Hollywood, I'm up here.

I'd pay to see Star trek and Willow, just to see who hams it up more, Val Kilmer or William Shatner.

Space Ghost, Herculoids, Mightor, Young Samson, Galaxy Trio, Moby Dick, Dino Boy and Shazzan all united to stop the Council of Doom and various other Toth villains.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe seeks to expand and crossover with just abut anything, so I'm waiting for this to join the MCU..

This has reminded me of something: DC had the licence to print Star Trek comics around the time "Crisis on Infinite Earths" was published. So why on Earth weren't Kirk and crew part of the battle against the Anti-Monitor?

Just limiting it to DC, has there ever been a period of comparable length where Batman was as "good" as the George Perez Wonder Woman or the Wolfman/Perez Titans? The only run that I'm aware of that hits the two to three year mark of greatness is the Breyfogle/Grant run, but since I've only read one or two issues of that run, I can't fairly judge. And of course this is just limiting it to the mainstream, "A-list" stuff. Haney/Aparo on Brave and the Bold (starting with B&B # 98) is spectacular and anyone who says different is a gibbering idiot. But it's a little hard to argue that it's a great BATMAN comic as much as a great comic! With Batman in it! New Teen Titans is very much a superhero comic that is influenced by superhero comics and is designed to relate to other superhero comics and use - or at least purposefully deviate from - the established tropes of superhero comics. Brave and the Bold is written by creators who don't like superheroes (and science fiction, Haney was never good at sci-fi) BUT like pretty much every other genre so B&B alternates between exorcist style horror, spy comics, corporate espionage, Rocky style sports stories, gothic mysteries, medical thriller (!!!!) .. etc. It's great - best plotted and most structurally versatile superhero comic ever, IMO - but it doesn't offer Marvel style melodrama or long-term character development. And the creative team doesn't care about Batman at all. He acts however the genre-of-the month needs him to act, and he's rarely the protagonist (in the sense of "character that ends up changing") or the emotional core of the stories. So it's gonna feel a little off to folks raised on the "By fanboys, for fanboys" superhero books of the last 35-40 years.

Last picture I saw of him looked like he ate the ham, bacon, pork chops and about 3 other pigs. Mind you, he's still probably in better shape than I am; so, not gonna check too many stones in his direction. I might have Shatner beat on the hair, though; hard to tell with his rug. I was thinking though; imagine Star Trek, directed by Ron Howard. Tom Hanks is Captain Kirk (or a really emotional Spock). Clint could play his old character, from "The Corbomite Maneuver."
