Sgt. Rock is a DC property that dates back to 1959. The eponymous sergeant (real name Frank) is a member of the US military who has had a vast collection of comic book adventures he has fought in Europe, Japan and Africa, picking up plenty of readers in the process. During the late '80s Mr. Universe himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was approached to star in a big-screen adaptation of the series. Despite initial skepticism at an Austrian playing the all-American hero, a script was drafted which saw Arnie portraying Frank as a German-speaking American soldier of dual heritage, who would use this to his advantage by ambushing enemies with his fluent German skills. Producer Joel Silver is still attempting to make a Sgt. Rock movie to this day, but not much headway has been made.
