Craptacular B-Sides

When it comes to the Craptacular B-Sides, I’m not necessarily saying that they specifically should be given the movie treatment, I’m simply saying that they’re representative of a concept that has been sorely neglected in the comic book movie so far – lame superheroes.

Every movie superhero seems to ooze charisma, have perfect hair and teeth, defined muscles and deliver witty lines. Where are all the losers? Those types of character are every bit as interesting as the jocks of the superhero world, after all.

Kick-Ass is about the closest thing to this kind of character that we’ve seen before – he was essentially a brave and dedicated nerd in a silly costume – but the idea is distinctly lacking elsewhere. The Craptacular B-Sides are a trio of disenfranchised youths with no direction in life until they form a superhero team – and their powers are extremely underwhelming – so why not produce a movie based on that kind of character for a change?
