And remember, try to pick things that aren't already in the works!

the He-Man movie from the 80s was actually an adaptation (albeit a loose one) of the New Gods stories written by Kirby. The director of the movie even stated that was the intent.

Re: Which Comic Book Character/Series Would Be Best Adapted As...
Live Action Film: Y: The last Man (maybe a trilogy)
Animated Feature Film: Captain America/Marvel Secret Wars/COIE
Animated Series: Nightwing or bring back JLU. The new Ant-man would be cool.
Live Action Series: Y The Last Man/Punisher/Green Arrow
Video Game: I want to see a DC/ JLA version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance or a Green Lantern Corps video game.
However Deadpool would fit very well into any of these. Like Cable, he's a 90's character who is all about the action genre (and for Deadpool comedy as well) which would IMO translate really well. If done right there could be a fantastic GTA style Deadpool game with all the supporting cast. As Hulk Vs Wolverine showed, Deadpool works well in an action cartoon as well.
The only one that might get a bit stagnated IMO would be a Deadpool live action series. That could be truly terrible.
It would make an excellent cartoon as well, but I'd like to see the live action because, appearance/costume-wise, I think their less conventional look would work really well in live action (as a rule, I find men in tights in live action a bit gayish; but even then, this would work with Apollo). Also, I like character interaction with groups (loved the JLA animated series).
Now that I think of it, I wouldn't mind seeing the Justice League Elite as a live-action film, either.
