Also, this technically doesn't count as a "comic book movie", but it is based on a comic book property: The Haunt of Fear.

It would be a follow-up to the two Amicus horror anthology films based on the EC Horror comics.

The first was Tales from the Crypt, where five people are separated from a tour and end up in a cave with a cryptkeeper telling them five stores, including an adaptation of "And All Through the House" (also adapted into the second episode of the show by HBO).

The second was The Vault of Horror, where five people are traveling in an elevator, only to find themselves taken to a gentlemen's club (not THAT kind of "gentlemen's club") apparently in the basement of a modern apartment building. But what happens when they can't call on the elevator to take them out? They each tell five strange stories.

But those films were based on novelizations of the stories, not the actual comics themselves. You see, while the comics weren't available in England where the films were made, there were written adaptations out.

And the new one, named "The Haunt of Fear" (named for the third EC Horror comic), would be in the same style as the first two. My votes for which stories are adapted are Mother's Day (not related to the 1980 slasher film), Sucker Bait, Foul Play, Let the Punishment Fit the Crime, and Bedtime Gory.

Yes yes yes! That book was great, and would make a perfect over-the-top action movie. Just get Ellis to work on the script...

Well, maybe...just maybe...War Zone will be good.

Ah who am I kidding? It's gonna suck and we all know it. I hear they're trying to edit it down to a PG13 movie.

Moore makes it a point to never have anything to do with any movies based on his work. The comic is his in his eyes and that's all he wants to work on. If somebody makes an adaptation of his work, its theirs, not his.
If that were the case, he'd still have the rights to his own shit, instead of DC.

In all honesty, I don't think he cares what happens to it after he finishes it, either. At that point, he's done his job, what does it matter to him?

I wanna see a film version of The Tick. My version would be a composite of elements from the comics, the cartoon, and the TV series.

I wanna see:

* John Cena as The Tick
* Christian Campbell as Arthur, despite the fact that he doesn't have Arthur's build (Campbell's rather fit, while Arthur is pretty doughy), but he's got the voice and can totally do the attitude and personality
* Kristin Chenowith as Dot, Arthur's sister. Based entirely on personality.
* Idina Menzel as American Maid. AM would be a composite of elements of the cartoon version and her TV series counterpart Captain Liberty.
* John C. McGinley as Die Fledermaus. DF would be a altered version of the cartoon version.

And the villains I'd want to see are:

* Chairface Chippendale
* The Terror
* Mr. Mental
* Brainchild (aka Charles)

But I also wanna see some OC's in this, both heroes, villains, and neutrals.

Also, I wanna see a Teen Titans movie.

My ideal TT cast (IDK all the characters, though):

* Shia LaBeouf as Robin
* Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Beast Boy
* Emile Hirsch as Superboy
* Ellen Page as Raven
* ??? as Cyborg
* Rob Zombie as Trigon
* Ron Rifkin or Tobin Bell as Brother Blood
* David Boreanaz as Deathstroke

And I'm also working on an idea for a TDK sequel. Basically, after Batman is made a wanted man, crime rates spike rapidly. But despite this, Batman STILL fights the good fight.

However, forces are aligning themselves against him and the people, both good and bad, of Gotham City. One is a misanthropic yet brilliant programmer named The Riddler (Anthony Rapp), a.k.a. former Wayne Enterprises programmer Edward Nygma. The next is disgraced gymnast turned cat thief Selena Kyle, now the vivacious yet deadly Catwoman (Idina Menzel), armed with a studded whip and retractable steel claws that can retract to almost 4 inches. Rounding things out is criminal psychologist Harleigh Queen (Helena Bonham Carter), now the devoted Joker fanatic known as Harley Quinn.

But each one has their own agenda. The Riddler plans on holding the city hostage with a crippling virus set to ravage all the computer systems in Gotham City, and also draining every bank account and causing billions in damages. Catwoman is out for blood, leaving a wake of carnage and grand theft in her wake. But perhaps the most dangerous is Harley Quinn. While The Riddler has his twisted intellect and Catwoman has her vendetta and vicious disregard for human life, Harley has something far worse... an experimental biological weapon she calls "Joker gas". On the surface, it's just weaponized nitrous oxide, but it's also laced with various things that can make it perfect for any task from killing a single person... to killing an entire CITY!! It starts with fits of laughter, then total paralysis and numbness of the entire body, rupturing of major organs and arteries, and finally death with a twisted grin on the victim's face.

But what each of them don't know is that their plans, while completely separate from each other, do have one thing in common... they are all set to climax at precisely 12:00 Midnight Christmas morning. The bad news? That's only 28 hours from now!

Can Batman stop The Riddler, Catwoman, AND Harley Queen in time? And just who is that mysterious hooded vigilante that calls herself "Robin"? Is she a friend or a foe? And will her unwilling help be enough?

And before you start freaking out... it's not really Robin. It's a new character. She won't even LOOK like Robin. She'll just be called Robin, but will wield a quarterstaff and some homemade weapons. And will she die? Maybe, maybe not.
