I'm a big fan of the Shadow. I hope someday a real edgy version of him shows up in the movies

Same here.
Till then, Dynamite comics can help wet our appetites.
Personally I also wouldn't mind dynamite comics doing a Darkman comic since they did a crossover already.
Next to dark wing, the spider and batman, he's my fav Expie of The Shadow.

Indeed. I'm picking up a bunch of Dynamite TPBs soon

Sweet, you know what Evil lurks in the hearts of men.

me too! I love the shadow! He is a great character! Do you know much about the other pulp heroes?

Not tons. I know Doc Savage, the characters they have in Masks (The Dinamite comic series)

I'd love to educate ya on some of it, like Indiana jones and the rocketeer are pulp heroes.

Indy is based on pulp heroes....as is the Rocketeer. But they are not true examples of Pulp era characters. I thought you meant the ones from that time

well yes that to like the spider, phantom detective, and judex. I just mentioned them cuz most people know about them.

I know that there have been talks about a new Shadow movie, but nothing is coming out of it.Β

If they ever do a movie, I would like they make it more horror instead of adventure... think "the silence of the lambs" or "Hannibal" (the tv series please). Β
I mean, the guys who help the Shadow are terrified of him... and they are his allies!

The tone would likely be better because of that

The original dark knight. He is also referred to canonically in and outside comics as the inspiration for Batman and his methods...outside of guns. the two have met before. Once when he was a kid before joe chill killed his parents and then other times in later years. The Grey Ghost was a parody of that relationship in the cartoon.
i am a fan of both, I based my OC character of of both...but I like the shadow and his outfit and style more.

He's from pulp comics and old radio series....and a more recent movieΒ www.joblo.com/newsimages1/unpoβ¦ Β upload.wikimedia.org/wikipediaβ¦ Β upload.wikimedia.org/wikipediaβ¦

The movie they did back in the early 90s was a really good period piece; it deserved better than it got.

It wasn't bad....but needed to loose the campy parts

Maybe someone should do a remake of it. Β Give it the "Batman Begins" treatment.

Yup. Last I head Sam Raimi holds the rights

Then I hope he exercises them. Β If anyone can make the story of The Shadow cool again, its Sam Raimi.

...aww I was going to use the intro from the classic radio show as my comment, but were you used it in the description it would sound redundant. Oh well, still a cool picture, I'll share this with my SFW Brother

yeah, too bad Baldwin was so badly miscast as him in the movie...but then I think the Shadow worked best on the radio...
π: 0 β©: 1
I think it would have worked....he was great in the films openning...but Lemont and the scenes written for Baldwin where campy and or cheesy

I know, I think they changed directions in mid script, it's been a long time since I saw the film, I can't remember how many got writing credit.
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree it's almost as if another person picked it up and finished it
π: 0 β©: 1
I have this little rule of thumb...if more that three people get writing credit at the beginning, the odds are, its gonna be at the very least a dismal experience...
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep...more often then not

what's worse is when the producers just buy a novel for the title, and the movie doesn't resemble the book in any way shape or form.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, I haven't seen the movie or read the book, so I'll have to let you have that one...
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah ok...well it is a perfect example of your point

it's like the Bogie Bacall movie "The To Have and Have Not", essentially used the title of the Hemingway story, and nothing else.
π: 0 β©: 1
still its a good movie, but I'm a bit prejudiced, I'm a big Bogie fan.
π: 0 β©: 1
yep, they had something special, Bogie, Cagney, Eddie G., Mitchum, and the Duke, only one who comes close these days is DeNiro, maybe Pachino.

Well they are seasoned actors now.....so I'm not sure you can call them actors of "these days" but I get your point
