    Star Brand was one of the few New Universe titles I actually liked. The Pitt was a good stand-alone story apart from the series. #comics

    All of those sound like they'd make pretty awesome movies, but all I want to see is a proper Superman vs. Doomsday that tackles the whole of the story and ends with Supermans death and hints that he may not really be dead. That would make an awesome movie an it baffles me why WB won't do that instead of something else they will end up doing later. #comics

    What about Civil War? I love this story (one of the only big events I love and try to own as many tpb of it as I can), but it's so big I doubt it could be done in a movie

    Unless, of course, Marvel gets rights for Spider-Man back in time for Avengers 2, so you could make it Civil war. Because really, the three important players of this is Cap, Iron Man and Spidey. Richards is not necessary, he can easily be replaced by Pym or Banner if need be, Thor vs Thor clone would be awesome, Mariah Hill is still Marvel, put Nick Fury in it more directly and voilà. Civil War movie. #comics

    @collex: ...A Marvel: Civil War movie, plopped down right in the center. No origins, just your favorites banging out their mega-crises in 2.5 hours. Ensemble cast, and a perfect platform for Marvel Movies Inc. to launch sequels willy nilly. #comics

    @Dirk Anger: I thought he meant cannot be done technically. But you're probably right. Maybe like richgee001 says, something like Carnivàle: Spend a decade's worth of special effects/makeup in one season, and then not having people watching it because "superheroes are lame, dude, let's watch Idol instead" and canceling.

    @Dirk Anger: Well, for Planetary to be done right, it's going to be hugely budgeted in terms of special effects; as a TV show, it would be too expensive to spend more than a million an episode, and it's too big a story to tell as one movie.

    If anything you're making me think The Pitt should definitely be a movie. Keep Star Brand and maybe lose

    Kingdom Come is another big series that would be cool on the big screen if done right.

    Secret Wars isn't even close to be comics' "as many heroes at once" stories." That honor goes back to the first Crisis that teamed up the JLA and the JSA. You crazy kids think everything started with you. #comics
