I've had ideas again lately so I thought I would do this again.
How to play..
If you could make your own superhero shows what would they be?
Some new thoughts of mine...
Team Up -
OK, lately I've been really getting back into Buffy, but at the same time very eagerly awaiting the debut of Batman: Brave and the Bold. But what if Buffy also had a team up type show. Where every week she teamed up with someone/something somewhat outside even her normal or went somewhere outside of Sunnydale.
I picture it as a 30min weekly cartoon, something along the lines of BTAS, not just for kids but not just for adults. Possibly to be aired during Fox's Sunday Animation Domination block.
Now since Fox doesn't have a comic book dept, we'd have to get a little creative.
The show could use many Fox properties. Have an ep where she is investigated by Agent Mulder and Agent Scully. Some eps where she teams up with the Predator to take out some Aliens. (Now I'll say up front, the Predators and Aliens would have to be toned down alot, but it still would be cool.) Possibly an ep where she goes forward to the Planet of the Apes.
Also she could team up with mythological figures like Hercules and Thor. A superhero version of Frankenstein.
And then here is were the creative part kicks in. To give Buffy more to team up with, I'd dig into all the superhero and fantasy properties that have fallen into public domain. The Wizard of Oz is public domain, have Buffy end up in Oz to fight the wicked witch of the southwest. Have her team up with public domain superheros like Bulletman, Captain Freedom, Golden Arrow. Of coarse update them to be more contemporary. Bringing back public domain characters seems to be really popular these days, AC Comics and Dynamite Entertainment Comics are doing it.
Yes she would have eps where she teams up with Angel, Faith, and Willow, but they wouldn't be the only ones in the eps since those team ups have already been done in the shows proper.
Society -
This would be a JSA show. Yes it would have adventures and super villains and everyone in costume. Would have Wildcat, Obsidian, Alan Scott, Atom Smasher, Jade, all lead by Hawkman. But it would be more like Lois and Clark, examining what their secret identities are like. Whats it mean to be gay in society, a Jew in society, old in society, a white guy in society. Have some of the old vs young type conflict that happens in the comics.
Obsidian and his friendship with Atom Smasher would be one of the main themes of the show.
I picture this as an hour drama on showtime or hbo.
Well those are my ideas, what are yours ?
