Article Summary
Yesterday , we looked atGail Simone ’s foil desireto comprise the stories of deadly Kombat into the DC Universe comics after former publisherDan DiDiogave her a list of Warner Bros. prop she could find fault from . And while Mortal Kombat did n’t go through for Gail , there were others that did . We mentioned theHanna Barbera titles that melt for three years , include revampedScooby Doo , Wacky Races , Flintstones , Snagglepussand more . But there was alsoMad Maxand spinoffFuriosafrom DC Vertigoas well aLost Boyssequel . In reaction to Gail ’s thread , Lost BoyswriterTim Seeleyposted , " I had a group meeting about that list ! I choose LOST BOYS ! "
But Bleeding Cool has dug out a few more that did n’t make it to publishing . We might have had aDirty Harrycomic book withJimmy PalmiottiwithTradd Moore , but Warners would n’t earmark it without Clint Eastwood approving it , and no one was capable to get hold of him .
Similarly , The GoonieswithBrett Parsonsdidn’t happen because it neededSteven Spielberg ’s approval , and there was no road at DC Comics to get it .
We got aMad MaxandFuriosacomic , but more Mad Max comics were left undone because they wanted to keepGeorge Millerhappy .
I also heard talk of DC doing a competingShaftcomic against Dynamite ’s ownShafttitles because Dynamite had rights to the novel , but Warner Bros and DC had the pic rights , including the actor likenesses . Though , give how the remake came out , they probably lucked out avoiding it .
These would all have get out as a Vertigo - saving initiative , but in the remnant , Lost Boysdied alone on the vine , rather than having a bunch of bad-tempered - promotional titles to back them up . And no Mortal Kombat either .
