9 Superhero Movies That Should Be Remade

 
#6 JONAH HEX
 
Editor’s note: Yes, yes, Jonah Hex isn’t technically a superhero, but for the purposes of this article he counts.
 
 
We’ve learned that the key to making a good comic book movie is to take the material seriously, to have respect for the characters. Jonah Hex and the previously mentioned Green Hornet and Swamp Thing are prime examples of films where there was clearly not much respect for the source. The filmmakers like the principle idea and made their own corny version of it. After the recent success of True Grit and Django Unchained, there’s no reason that a serious approach to Jonah Hex couldn’t work. We’re living in an age where you can’t just take a comic book property and limp along to the finish line. We have standards for these things now.
 
Likelihood of happening: Unless Warner Bros. calls me right now to make this movie, it is probably dead in the water.
