And I suppose we have to mention, The Thundermans :facepalm:

 

The show on Nick? I didn't know it was based on a comic book.

 

Not specifically. However, any superhero themed TV show or movie has to trace it's influence back to comic books. That's why, earlier in the thread, I nominated The Greatest American Hero TV show.

It should have a specific reference material as a source, no?

I kinda enjoy it myself.

 

But, then again when I was seven, I used to wear a black Halloween cape and a red T-shirt, under my plaid button up shirt when I went out, the way Ralph did on The Greatest American Hero. I thought that was the greatest show ever when I was a crazy little kid! :)

Although, thinking about it, this thread is called specifically "comic book-based" so maybe influenced is a bit of a stretch. Either way, it's okay with me.
Heroes might have this issue too. Those were only NBC promo comics released before (or after) the show.

 

Then there's the debate of the Star Wars comic released before the first movie, that was based on the movie. :fear:

 

But, depending on a "comic-influenced" ruling, I'd like to see Misfits of Science on the list if allowed. A lot of X-Men references were highlighted in that fondly remembered series of the 80's.

 

But, it would open the door to "Manimal". lol

What, no animation?! hm

 

Not with the focus of the thread "complete list of comic book-based live movies & TV shows".

 

But I am trying to build up the strength to tackle the animation list.

Didn't The Phantom have a futuristic sy/fy reboot TV movie?

 

I only found two live productions. But there is talk of a third in the works.

 

The Phantom: Legacy

 

On December 15, 2008, it was announced that Sherlock Symington Productions had secured the rights to the Phantom, and are set to make a film called The Phantom: Legacy (unrelated to the Moonstone Books 2006 graphic novel of the same name and any other screen incarnation of the character). The film is set to have a budget of $130 million, and is written by Tim Boyle.

 

Bruce Sherlock, executive producer and head of Sherlock Symington Productions, said that The Phantom: Legacy would follow the lead of films like The Dark Knight and Iron Man, and present a serious treatment of the character. The film will be set in the present day, and revolves around the relationship between the Phantom and his son, and what it means to be the Phantom. Work on the film was expected to begin in 2009. Filming is scheduled to take place in Australia, and producers are in talks with both Australian and international actors to work on the film.

 

In an interview with Dark Horizons, Boyle said the film will feature two main antagonists, one taken from the comic and one created for the movie. The Phantom's costume is also expected to be updated for the screen, with Boyle seeking to make it more reality-based. Characters such as Diana Palmer, Kit and Heloise Walker, Colonel Worubu, President Lamanda Luaga, and Guran will also appear. The film is said to be heavily focused on the mythology of the comics, with a lot of screen time expected to be devoted to the origin of the 1st Phantom. The Phantom's eyes behind his mask will also be white, unlike what it has been in previous film-versions. Actor Sam Worthington is considered to play the Phantom, after having worked with Boyle on the film Fink.

 

Boyle was originally considered to direct the movie, but has confirmed he is only attached as the writer.
