10 Dead Comic Book Movies That Need To Be Revived

7. Green Arrow: Escape From Super Max

At this point, cinema goers have seen enough superhero origin stories to last a lifetime. Which makes it a total shame that David S Goyer's twist on the origin story narrative never made it to the big screen. These days, Green Arrow is enjoying popularity on American TV network The CW, but before that there were plans for the character to debut in cinemas.

The film was to begin with Green Arrow being arrested for a crime he didn't commit, his costume stripped away and his identity revealed. After that, he's incarcerated in a prison filled with low-tier DC villains, and has to use their help in order to escape (some of whom he's responsible for putting in prison in the first place).

Given the abundance of standard origin stories these days, it's a very unique angle, and would be a refreshing change of pace. Especially since - as mentioned - the character is currently very popular on television, now would be the perfect time to resurrect Green Arrow: Escape From Super Max.
