pop culture can be shown the way. heck, it's already started a little.

Entourage? 😕
Wasn't talking about that so much as the fact that Aquaman is attracting readers now that it never had before. Sites like IGN are doing features about why people should pay attention to the guy.
And Johns is writing him. If he continues to push Aquaman the way he did Green Lantern, I can see things changing quite impressively.

As far as the action goes, a lot could be covered by the special effects. I would like for Docs martial arts skills to be showcased though.No doubt its a serious role and like you, Doc being humorous I wouldn't think quite fits. Unless he had a character like (let's say) Spiderman co starring. I have no details as to who's co starring. I think Johnny can pull it off.
Watching Johnny do Kung Fu mixed with astral manipulations would be cool. But yeah I'm not sold on Depp.

You all know you want it.
I can't see him sporting the beard. But original Strange was an odd looking fellow. Great choice for personality.

I want Leo to play Donald Blake in the next Thor movie. And a love triangle between Jane Foster, Blake and Thor eventuates. Blake was a past love of Fosters and this can be explored.
Could be what Thor needs to be a little more interesting.

neither of those are mainstream marvel...they both have max brand, which is marvel's way of targeting the mature crowdi was comparing the mainstream marvel with dc.
Not sure how mainstream Marvel is more kid-friendly than DC. Unless you want to compare their marquee characters?
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hulk
Spider-Man
Wolverine (and the X-Men)
Fantastic Four
as opposed to
Batman
Wonder Woman
Superman
Green Lantern
Flash
Justice League as a whole
Possibly Teen Titans
If you honestly think Marvel is more kid friendly character wise when placed against DC, you're pretty deluded.

Both are about equal, but I think Marvel does more to appeal to a broader age group than DC does (not that DC doesn't try, because they do).No company is inherently more kid friendly than the others though, when talking purely about characters.

DC has Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Robin, etc.
All these characters can and have been placed in serious, darker, and more mature storylines. And all of them have been made kid friendly for the masses.

batman only worked when it started going dark (with nolan taking over) and audiences loved it
whereas if you watch the marvel movies (spiderman, avengers, IM), theres a much more cheery, less mature tone...and the audience for marvel movies tend to be broader age groups
Originally posted by JakeTheBankwhen batman was made kidfriendly, he failed. batman doesn't fit a kid-friendly motif...he needs a dark, grim one.

hulk on the other hand is better as a kid-friendly version than dark version. thats why the solo hulk movies failed...they tried to make hulk dark...but audiences love the wacky avengers hulk that cheapshots thor out of the frame.

If your argument is that Batman's movies are darker than most of Marvel's, you should have said that to begin with. But Batman, contrary to popular belief, is not the sum of DC.
