2001 test for film adaptation of Paul Chadwick's Concrete comics.
I loved the superhero boom from the 90s/2000s, seeing mega hits like the Spider-Man films (which are some of my top favorite superhero movies, I think the first Spider-Man movie was developed before even X-Men was on film). The superhero set I would've loved to visit the most is Mystery Men. To me, the first Blade movie was instrumental in showing how superhero movies could exist at the end of the 20th century. There was a collision of Dark City and Blade that somehow, in subtle ways paved the way, via anime/manga, for The Matrix to spawn into the world.
But, still, back then it was a countermovement to try to do superhero films, especially with material that didn't have Marvel or DC numbers. For many years, the proto-comic book movies were Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop (one of the best Judge Dredd movies) and Sam Raimi's Darkman in so many ways.
In my opinion, Paul Chadwick's Concrete is ripe to be adapted (there was a script written by Larry Wilson and Paul Chadwick, but it didn't go through).

Haunted Britain: A Guide to Supernatural Sites frequented by Ghosts, Witches, Poltergeists and other Mysterious Beings by Antony D. Hippisley Coxe.
UPA's The Tell-Tale Heart (1954) by Ted Parmelee, designed by Paul Julian, narrated by James Mason.
My favorite adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's short story.
I'd give this short an A+++.
L'Homme qui rit, The Man Who Laughs: A Romance of English History (or By Order of the King/On the King's Command) by Victor Hugo.
A poignant, profound and tragic story.
One of my top ten.
Blade Runner by Ridley Scott.
Based on Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
I'm a huge fan of this film, it's one of my favorite sci-fi movies of all time.
Blade Runner is simply one of those cinematic candies, that when I first saw it on Netflix, I never saw the world the same way again.
Check it out and feel the visual boundaries of cinema expand.
Fun fact:
There is a good reason why TMNT is one of the most successful franchises of all time, because it got off to a really good start. It was produced independently by Eastman and Laird using money from a tax refund and a loan from Eastman's uncle. The original Ninja Turtles comic remains one of the grittiest, striking, and memorable comics I have ever read. Before the turtles became pop culture reference spewing goofballs, they were badass, red bandana wearing, merciless ninjas who eliminated their enemies often swiftly and quietly. In the original run, the turtles killed Shredder at least three times.
The comic was a huge eye opener for me. It was the first time I ever realized how different adaptations can be from their source material. That comic encouraged me to go back and read all the books and comics that all of my favorite movies and tv shows were based on (a pursuit I have continued to this very day).
In my opinion, this is one of the best Judge Dredd movies (along with the 2012 adaptation).
Bride of Frankenstein (1935).
Masterpiece. That is all.
Really like the costumes on these guys (designed by the great Sid and Marty Krofft).
Anyone who hasn’t seen Scott Pilgrim is missing out.
