7 C-List Superheroes Who Need Their Own Movies

2. Swamp Thing

It wasn€™t great, but, in the dark ages of superhero films between Batman and Robin and X-Men, I watched it. A lot. I think the original film would€™ve been much better had it been directed by John Carpenter instead of Wes Craven, since Craven works better with more grounded, realistic films, whereas Carpenter works best when he€™s allowed to go crazy (see The Thing). There was a sequel and television series, but they were kinda lame. Plus, they were either made before or ignored Alan Moore€™s run. A modern Swamp Thing would be more of a horror film than a straight up superhero flick, which, again, is something new. Despite many attempts, there hasn€™t been a film that found a good balance between horror and the traditional superhero story. Even if they didn€™t adapt Alan Moore€™s run, they could draw from the New 52€™s recent arc with the character, and that would necessitate the appearance of Animal Man. The more interesting heroes the better.

An aspiring writer, I am an avid fan of everything nerdy. Movies, televisions, games, comics, literature. Anything, I'm interested. Though my real passion is writing. Maybe one day I'll be a published author with books everywhere. Who knows...?
