Y: The Last Man - During the 2000's craze of trying to snatch up every graphic novel with name value and adapt it into a movie I know it was talked about, I swear it even had a crew and some of the cast on board (I recall rumors of Shia of all people playing the lead), but somewhere along the way it did what Sandman adaptations do and fell apart. It's still really puzzling to me there's never been a movie, a series, a mini-series, nothing. I think in the right hands it could be hugely successful too. Personally I'd go the Netflix series style route with it too. I'll second the mentions of Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, and Saga. Brian K. Vaughan is just so good at what he does. I'd love for him to help develop the shows, too, as he has TV experience. I think FX is working on a Y: The Last Man TV show (or at least had a pilot commissioned for one), so you may get your wish on that.

Per wiki they ordered a full season last month.

Wanted.
Yes, we got a movie, but it sucked.
The Comic: Imagine a world where supervillains teamed up and killed off the world's heroes, and rule the world in secret. The Movie: Imagine a world where a magic loom tells an ancient order of assassins who to kill via frikkin BINARY.
So, a weaver in the crusades era was looking at his weaving, noticed a small bump, and then somehow translated it into a computer language, and decided that that name needed to die.
How does this movie get a pass when considering the worst possible adaptions!?!?!? Yes, they kept the shitty edgelord nihlism in the adaptation. But come on, they adapted the wrong damn part.

Question - I know The Batman and Warner & DC always being gun shy about any IP that isn't Batman or Superman are the big reasons why, but the fact they've never even attempted a Question series of any kind is bizarre to me, especially after he became the runaway fan favorite of the Justice League cartoon by a wide margin. I think either cartoon or live action, it would be very cheap to make a series revolving around him. Even moreso if you lean into the noir and pulp aspects of his comic runs. Bone - Again, I'm surprised this one never got one, especially during that 2000's period. It seems ready made to make into either a series of animated films or an animated series. Agree on both of those. And really surprised someone hasn’t snagged movie rights on Bone. You’d think that would be a license to print money as either a movie series, or a Netflix tv series Y'know, I think Disney holds the rights to Bone. They picked up publishing rights years ago and reprinted the series in a digest format like the Archie digests... I used to see them at supermarkets by the registers.

Secret Six. You've got a very diverse rotating cast of characters, it's one of the few series out there that really gets Bane right as a character, and it's just fun watching irredeemable assholes beat up other irredeemable assholes.
Plus, I really want to see Ragdoll adapted into something.

Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye/Lost Light: a Transformer series with little to no humans around, just a bunch of Transformers who get into hijinks and adventures in space. I reckon it'd be fun seeing the Misfits, the Decepticon Justice Division, and autobot Megatron.
