Report: Frank Miller in talks to write/direct “Buck Rogers” for the big screen…

“The Spirit” director Frank Miller, just maybe the man to write/direct the “Buck Rogers” movie to the big screen. Frank Miller and Odd Lot Entertainment, are trying to take the rights of “Buck Rogers” from Nu Image/Millenium, who currently owns the rights to the legendary character.

Frank Miller’s “The Spirit” will hit theaters everywhere on Christmas Day.

I love the Buck Rogers character and Frank Miller is a perfect choice for the project. I’m also looking forward to seeing “The Spirit” which I will see sometime after Christmas.

Thought: About Stallone starring as Batman in “The Dark Knight Returns”…

Yes, I think I did read “The Dark Knight Returns” graphic novel when I was a kid back in high school. I think I still have that book laying around somewhere, I’ll have to look for it today.

Now that I think about it, Stallone, would be perfect for Batman in “The Dark Knight Returns” film, I totally agree now.

If you know the plot to “The Dark Knight Returns”, the graphic novel is about an “aging” Bruce Wayne/Batman. Bruce Wayne is sad, depressed and angered by the death of the second Robin and Bruce becomes an alcoholic. Think how Sly would be perfect that type of Bruce Wayne role. Now I can totally see why Frank Miller would want Sly.

Sly is really into researching “aging” men in their 50’s as you all know and if this Batman novel gets made into a film, Sly would love this idea. Sly as an aging Batman would be great.

Would Arnold work as Batman? Nah. Arnold is too tall and his mouth isn’t right for the mask. Sly’s the perfect fit. Maybe Sly Stallone himself should pick up the rights for “The Dark Knight Returns” so Sly can write and direct/star in the film himself. I hope this movie happens.

Report: Sylvester Stallone as Batman?

Comic book writer Frank Miller who is the author of “The Dark Knight Returns” graphic novel pictured above, mentioned if his book “The Dark Knight Returns” gets made into a film, he would like Sly Stallone to star as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Miller says he would like to see “The Dark Knight” Returns his novel get made into a film one day. Keep in mind that Sylvester Stallone already played in a film adapted from a superhero comic, Judge Dredd anyone? So Stallone does have superhero movie experience.

Stallone maybe good as Batman in his old days, but today I think the man himself would turn the role down because he would laugh at himself. An old man in a heavy Batman suit. I don’t think Stallone would go for this because he would think that Rocky and Rambo is enough for his superhero status.
