    This Friday, on CLOAK & DAGGER...
    This Friday, on CLOAK & DAGGER...

    We had to make way for the HULK first (as you must, unless you want to get squished like the puny human you are) but there are actually a lot of other Marvel titles being floated around for TV. The most relevant one at the moment is CLOAK & DAGGER which, by THR’s reckoning, is being developed as a TV show for ABC Family.  I honestly never got into the adventures of this odd couple, but a lot of artists I worked with just love them, so go figure. I don’t know if there’s enough to their premise to make them stand alone outside the Marvel universe. Reportedly, Jeph Loeb is meeting with writers, right now, who’re going to make some very compelling cases as to how these spooky kids can stand on their own.

    But it doesn’t end there.  Apparently, Marvel TV delivered a presentation of possible titles to Disney in the spring which are now gaining some headway.   The list included…

    Some quick comments - - == TEASER ==

    • I don’t know if the inclusion of the Red Hood with Moon Knight is a typo. I suppose Marc Spector could be teaming up with Jason Todd, but the prospect seems unlikely.
    • AGENTS OF ATLAS, ALTER EGO seems to be a riff on ALIAS.   The plot description goes like this “private investigator Jessica Jones takes on cases involving superhumans.” I’m sure they had to change the name on account of that Jennifer Garner show, although I’ll be curious if this means she’ll be teaming up with 3D Man and the Uranian.
    • PUNISHER could easily work as TV show, but only if it were a no-holds-barred TV-MA cable program (as the article mentions.) EnnisMAX run basically read like a HBO show.
    • HEROES FOR HIRE, DAUGHTERS OF THE DRAGON and KA-ZAR sound like they’d be the easiest ones to turn into TV shows, especially if the latter is modeled (as the plot description suggests) after the Waid/Kubert run from the late 90s that put the jungle man in New York’s concrete jungle.

    Punisher and Disney.  Two things that absolutely should not go together.  With that said, I freakin' love Cloak and Dagger.  Maybe a MVC3 appearance?

    I LOVE Cloak and Dagger 
    this is good news!!!! 
    but, is it live action or animated? 
    and will it be toned down for an ABCFamily audience? 
    C&D has always been a little dark: a little more about the harsher side of being a teen superhero 
    I mean, they're runaways, afterall 
    very very interesting news.....

    Eh, I'm dubious of live action superhero shows.  They almost never have the special effects budget to do the powers and big battle justice.

    i quote every single word :) i'm a big fan of Cloak and Dagger too.
    I hope it will be a live action tv show; anyway i don't think that C&D fit very well with the ABCFamily roster:  http://abcfamily.go.com/shows  
    They have many obscure enemies: Nightmare, drug-dealers, Silvermane, Mr. Jip...

    Any of these would be welcome but I'm curious if they are really going to try The Eternals for TV.  I have high doubts about that prospect due to the many characters and FX required.    
     
    Cloak and Dagger would actually work well as would Heroes for Hire.   
     
    Just wish Moon Knight had some slight revisions and got optioned for a full release movie instead of a TV show.

    Normally, I'd be very excited at the prospect of a Cloak and Dagger show (though I'd probably prefer a good movie), but, like others have pointed out, aren't they a little dark for ABC Family? And if they intend to whitewash their history, why even bother in the first place?

    Wait and see, I guess.

    and I think it would be an obvious choice for an animated series 
    being that C and D both have such stunning visuals when they use their powers

    Yes, definetely not family friendly if the TV Show is based on Strange Tales Vol. 2 
    or their mini-series and Vol.1.  
    The best way to exploit C&D is to make a rated R (or PG, i'm not from U.S.A., so i'm not so sure about your rating sistem) tv show..i know that it could sound silly considering that C&D are 16/17 years old...but in their first appearences they killed their torturers, they almost killed Silvio Manfredi and they have also a conflictual relationship with religion (Mantlo did an amazing work on these two characters and their supporting cast, for example: i'm not so sure that the thoughts of Father Delgado were so pure. his morbidity about Dagger is suspicious) and cops.

    Unless as Antiterra said, they want to whitewash their history. but if they wanna rewrite it..why don't they make a Power Pack TV-show? this will be perfect for ABCFamily. ah but they have already  something similar: No Ordinary Family http://www.imdb.it/title/tt1591493/

    ABC can do "dark" shows... Lost was on ABC if you havn't forgotten and that wasn't exactly "Family Friendly" most of the time. Anyways, as far as the shows go... 
     
    Cloak & Dagger - could be interesting, but for ABC Family they would indeed have to make it less dark. 
    Ka-Zar - don't really care about, but as some have said a mix of Tarzan & Land of the Lost would work here. 
    Punisher - Would REALLY like to see this. Castle could work on the small screen, maybe as a Primetime ABC Action-Drama. (Though personally, now that Marvel has his rights back I would rather see him show up in the marvel movie universe somehow). 
    Heroes for Hire - would be awesome, but it would have to star Luke Cage & Iron Fist to be truely epic. 
     Moon Knight, The Red Hood - The way the description was written, it seems like "The Red Hood" refers to The Hood (Parker R.). Remember folks, he tried to be a good guy before he went [i]to the dark side[/i]

    Good deal! TV Shows are always a good idea to introduce lesser-known characters instead of big-budget movies. Also, Punisher on a channel like FX or HBO would be a great idea!

    A Cloak & Dagger show could be interesting, though I think it would do well as a movie instead of a show.  Now Atlas, that's what I'm hoping for. It's a bit of a surprise to see it being considered but I think it could be a very good TV show if they handled it correctly. The comics are awesome... too bad Marvel had to cancel the series again.

    just because disney owns marvel doesnt mean theyre going to church up all of marvels characters on the screen. i think its just a money thing. they know marvel knows what theyre doing. most of the time.

    Reports are that Punisher is really being eyed on. 
     
    I've always said that Punisher should have his own series. But I think it would be better in animated form & on HBO or Showtime. Similar to how Spawn was done. 
     
    I think it should be Ray Stevenson, Michael Irondside or Tom Jane to do the voice for Frank.

    Cloak & Dagger, Heroes For Hire, and Daughters of the Dragon definitely :)
     
    they all sound really REALLY good, and I know some people that would absolutely die for a HBO Spawn-style 'Punisher' cartoon
     
    but that said, 'odd couple' is right, and a series this dark would only get the 'sterile treatment' at ABC Fam'

     All else aside here, Incredible Hulk and/or Cloak & Dagger, being turned into a television series would be great. I'd watch. And I think it would get a lot of people to want to read comics.
