10 Comic Books That Should Never Become Movies

5. The Punisher & Eminem Cross-Over

The Punisher & Eminem Cross-OverPremise: Marvel's R-rated super-revenge machine teams up with none other than the controversial rap star himself, Marshall Mathers aka Eminem to fend off the Barracuda...for no real rhyme or reason whatsoever... Why It Wouldn't Work As A Movie: Hilarious though this novelty comic is, is there anyone seriously crying out for this to be adapted to the screen outside of ironic contexts? Though I love Eminem as much as the next rap fan, and the guy proved himself a surprisingly strong actor in 8 Mile, how distracting is it going to be seeing Em running around in his baggy clothes while The Punisher is trying to kick ass and take names? Maybe it would work as a silly short film, but as a full feature? Of course not. Chance Of It Happening: 1/10
