Witchblade

Lastly, we’ll move away from DC and Marvel to talk about Witchblade, who’s the offspring of Darkness and Angelus. Her story begins on Earth, almost as soon as the planet was created. it’s become everyone’s story from prehistory to the post-apocalyptic future, and there have been plenty of female hosts.

There are a number of stories to tell, especially since some of the characters were actual historical figures or pop-culture icons (Lara Croft, Red Sonja).

Even more interestingly, Witchblade is just one of 13 remaining characters from the Top Cow Universe. So this could be just the beginning of a new shared universe.

Megan Fox was approached in 2008 to star in an adaptation to be set in the present day, but we dodged a bullet there, right? Nothing further has happened with the project, and it’s entered development hell. Maybe now is the right time to resurrect it.
