Will it ever get an adaptation?

>everything should become movies and TV!
fucking kill yourself

Hawksmoor a cute

I think people don't give the Ellis run its fair due and just see it as a bunch of action movies, forgetting the character work.
I guess Snyder could adapt the Millar run well though.

Snyder is shit with squeezing a good performance out of actors, I would still be worried

This. I'm sick of Hollywood adaptions. I love the Authority too much to watch Hollywood butcher it. Funny too because it meet their diversity agenda before that was even as mainstream as it is now -- but hey wanted to ignore it.

Everyone wants to ignore Apollo and Midnighter's gayness, for example, just so they can make the "FIRST" gay xyz super-person. So the Authority gets credit for doing things differently before there was this manufactured forced-rush to make things along those differences...

The Authority is too pure and good for Hollywood but I'd love to do an animated adaption of some kind instead. Or something in video games, those two mediums are friendlier with source material than Hollywood.

I want a DC Universe show, that would later get Planetary spin-off.

A shitty movie doesn't retroactively change the comics, user.

Problem with Authority is that you have to do Stormwatch first since Authority only exists because Bendix brought Sparks out of retirement after Stormwatch suffered major casualties and Battalion was forced to fake his death due to time travel craziness and Bendix's original pick for leading the team (Vogue) died as a result then tried to kill Jenny's Superman friend and the original Engineer, forcing him to flee and culminating with the entire Stormwatch team being massacred. Which is the only reason Jenny formed her own team to begin with

If Marvel sticks the landing and we get ten more years of hero flicks, absolutely.

>A shitty movie doesn't retroactively change the comics, user.

Have you not noticed this trend in recent years of comics trying to change themselves to be more like their movie adaptions? How have you not noticed this. Read Iron Man comics before the movie and after...

Change or Die.

It's my favorite comic ever and it's actually required for the Authority to make sense, you're right. You can read it without it, but once you read Change or Die and understand what happened right before the book, it won't make nearly as much sense and have the emotional impact it does.

Paul Levitz is working on adapting a movie. That's why he stepped down from running DC

He was pushed out of DC once Warner Brothers started paying more attention to what was going on.

I doubt The Authority would be something that would be high on his list, a LoSH movie adaptation would be far higher.

It would probably make a good DCU show, yes, although I think they should consider doing it animated. At minimum, they should either find a way to do an Alt Universe special/movie or an animated movie to test costs and interests.

The bigger issue that the Authority is very much a period piece.

Levitz is at Boom right now dude

Marvel being retarded does not represent comics as a whole. DC rarely does synergy these days and when they do it's often something minor, like Bane rocking the DKR coat during Forever Evil.

Do you think that's in a good or bad way? I can see it in a good way actually. I like that period and it's good to point out a single comic run that really captured it.

If you can capture the Y2K apocalyptic zeitgeist, sure. To work it couldn't just be set during the period, it has to reflect the optimism that also masked a deep fear.

>DC rarely does synergy these days
lol yeah

Bro, I'm actually working on a comic super hero universe, part of which is just mirrors the industry, the other part is my own original take and ideas. The group that is based on the Authority have to fight this Machine God of War named "Y2K" ... It's actually a machine that was found in the Silver Age in the 60s, in a Mayan ruin, people thought it was a piece of armor but they are time travelling robots. The one found in the ruins was actually hurled from a battle with them in the future into the wrong time.

But the Machines take over at the year 2000 because at that point Bill Gates and other Tech Giants have already been born, ensuring their programming seeds are planted and humans are no longer necessary in that timeline. So the "Y2K Bug" is actually this great threat that capsules all the Matrix and Terminator and "end of the world because machines" plots that were floating around at the time of the Authority,

I know it's a long rant but you just reminded me of WHY I wanted to write that story and what I was getting at with it. It's basically just homaging the Authority and it's role in the industry. And using Y2K as a literal villain, in fact he's one of the only villains I've drawn multiple times already.

Post that shit, good user.

Thanks, nothing to really post though, my drawings aren't that good and I don't feel comfortable posting them yet. I draw way, way too little for wanting to do what I want to do -- I was saying that when I did have the motivation and courage to draw more Y2K was one of the first ones.

I need to get over my own mental blocks and draw more.

Thanks, I'm stealing all this
I don't even think it's particularly good but I'm doing it anyway since you dumped it here like this

It won't work without all the other elements though.

Or maybe they just cut the Stormwatch stuff down significantly for a film. It's not like they can use Vogue.

It's true there are too many threads in Authority that are heavily connected with the stuff Ellis wrote in Stormwatch, which are connected to Pre-Ellis Stormwatch, but a decent writer could find a way to simplify or eliminate the fluff.
