Jonah Hex could be fantasic if they did it right.. I'm not sure they would be willing to do a period piece where racism would have to be part of the story, though. (not from Hex, obviously, but the bad guys).

Slaine.. Since Dredd (2012) was a success I think it shows there is a market for non-DC/Marvel 'action/fantasy' kind of film. Think could appeal to those who just want to see a good fantasy, with bonus Celtic barbarian theme. Britain has such rich lore and history with these things that Slaine comic draws from too.

Batman, but done as a golden age period piece. With guns, purple gloves and sans his “if I kill a murderer there are still the same amount of murderers in the world” motto. This would make a great movie! What would be nice is if they made the origin just a quick flashback and then made the main story a trilogy like some of those classic Vincent Price films... It could feature Joker. Catwoman and Hugo Strange. A Superman golden age would be nice too. |

I would love if DC got hold of the idea of Haunted Tank. They could do a tie in war-time universe with Haunted Tank as a film, then the Unknown Solider, then the Losers and of course, Sgt. Rock. Four separate films that culminate in a fifth where they all meet up. Might be a bit too much war but hey, you never know.

Feature length versions of the DC Showcase animated shorts of The Spectre and Jonah Hex.
Those ones were perfect.

I'm not that excited at all by the prospect of comic book movie adaptations, I'm happy with the original material and its narrative specificities (I wish I had been spared From Hell, Watchmen, and almost all Marvel flicks...)
But...
Spielberg proved with Tintin that this can be done in a fashion that makes me forget of the original material. So I'd really like more of this.
I'd very much enjoy as well something trying his luck at an Angry Yoth Comix adaptation, or a live Den movie staring Magic Mike or whatever he is called...

Not a comic book, but still comics: Prince Valiant. The 1950s one, with Robert Wagner, is too bland to be either good or bad. It just kind of goes along. Wagner is pretty one dimensional (and his wig looks ridiculous) and the prop swords are way to wide and look like wood. I'd like to see a serious fantasy epic, with LOTR money in the budget. There's a ton of great material in there for a classic film. You have adventure and danger, epic battles, court intrigues, invasions, personal grudges, and a fairly rounded character. In the early years, Val is quite the hothead, which gets him in all kinds of trouble. He learns from his experiences and grows. Just imagine seeing Val defending the bridge, alone, with the Singing Sword, or fooling the castle invaders with a demon mask, made of gooseskin, or leading the armies of Camelot against a seaborne invasion. The romance with Aleta, the travels through exotic, but historical lands; it could be a brilliant film series.

I'd love to see a comic book movie directed by Quentin Tarantino, Jonah Hex and Garth Ennis' Hitman always seemed to me like they would be a perfect fit for his directing style.
He also almost directed a few comic movies throughout his career, y'all can learn about that here:

A proper Golden Age Green Hornet movie done seriously to wash that Seth Rogen Abomination out of our minds forever.

Roy Raymond TV Detective. Raymond was a cross between Sherlock Holmes and James Randi. Bring him the inexplicable and he'll show you how its done. The supernatural, paranormal, and the just plain bizarre would be presented to him on a Monday and he'd have until Friday to go on live TV and figure everything out - if he couldn't, then he would have to admit defeat on his own show. Though they haven't been done in over 60 years, I'd love to see someone bring back the movie serial and copy the format exactly as it was 70/80 years ago while redressing some of the glaring omissions present then. A 15 chapter Batman serial using only the elements of the time could still boast an impressive line up of bad guys for Batman and Robin to square off against. Clayface  Prof Radium  The Cavalier  The Joker  The Penguin  Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum  Toss in Catwoman, The Puppet Master, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Hugo Strange, Dr Death, The Monk, and lycanthrope Adam Lamb and you've got one villain per serial using only characters around at the time of the first Batman serial of 1943. And here's your Batmobile  That's if they can't do this  |

Gotham Central would make for a great TV show. The story would probably need a little changing, since it relies somewhat on the state of other Batman comics at the time, but as long as they didn't mess with it too much it could be great.

We got sort of a taste of it in the most recent Spider-man movie, but I think a Damage Control movie would be pretty entertaining.

Saga and Stray Bullets. Both of these would make great HBO animated series.
Kill or be killed
Bill Skarsgard as Dylan
Fade Out
Matt Damon as Phil Brodsky
