Okay, let me just give some more input on this: Earlier I remembered reading rumors about a "Danger Girl" movie being in development, but in my opinion, most people wouldn't even know that it would be based on a comic book. I am sure that people would quickly dismiss a "Danger Girl" movie as a "Charlie's Angels" knock-off trying to be Indiana Jones and James Bond. Though the comics pretty much are that, with attractive women being the heroines going on some spy missions and trying to retrieve some rare artifacts, but it's not a mainstream comic book and I really don't know if it would work on-screen. If it does get made, I'll still see it, but most people wouldn't know that it was a comic movie. The name may sound like a superhero comic, but it's really about spies.
Also, someone mentioned about TV shows based on comic books. Apart from any superhero shows, I can't think of too many that were out there. However, I do know that there was a TV show on Sci-Fi of "Painkiller Jane," another comic book series that isn't so mainstream. I have actually read comics of that character and she is mostly an anti-heroine with some special healing ability. The TV show, however, is mostly different from its source material. I have the DVD set of the whole series (It lasted for one season) and I can see how different it is from the comic series. I haven't watched the entire set, but I can say that I haven't been feeling the show so far. Anyway, I can see a movie being made out of this, but this is another comic book franchise that a lot of people wouldn't know is a comic, unless they watched the TV show, but of course, that didn't last.
As for TV shows, there was a Human Target series that only lasted 2 seasons. I've never seen it.
You are right about both. I have a trade of "Human Target," but I don't think I've watched the show. I should get the DVD or Blu-Ray. As for "The Losers," I knew that was a comic because I saw the Vertigo logo front of the movie. I read the comics after watching the movie, and believe me, it's a lot more violent and vulgar than the movie version.
