In the past several years we have seen a very popular trend of movies based on comic books. Really the number of comic book movies over the past decade is astounding. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Hulk, Punisher, Daredevil, Elektra, and Hellboy are just some of the comic books that have turned into movies recently. Some of these movies were really good and some were not so good but I think there is still some untapped potential in the comic book world. There are still some more comic book titles that deserve to be put up on the big screen.Green Lantern
I mean hello people! Green Lantern is an A list comic book character and yet he has never had a movie, television show or cartoon. You can't say that about many A list characters. Superman and Batman have both had tons of movies and television shows. Flash and Wonder Woman have both had television shows and scripts for movies are being kicked around. I can understand that at one point in time maybe Green Lantern wasn't a feasible movie option because it would be hard to make the effects of his power ring look good (although that shouldn't stop them from making a cartoon about him) but by now they should be able to pull it off. I mean seriously if Hollywood can make Dr. Octopus' arms and the Transformers then they can make Green Lantern's ring, now get to it!
