Special Mention: HBO TV Shows

The collaborations between Marvel and Netflix proved that the small screen can be a great medium for comic book adaptations. And that’s because these shows don't have to subscribe to the same rules that apply to the PG-13 movies. Furthermore, the 13-episode format allows for the creation of more compelling characters "“ most importantly, I’m talking about the villains.

Back in 2015, there were talks between HBO and Zack Snyder about developing a Watchmen series. Since then, nothing has happened "“ and we’ve heard nothing. However, given the fact that HBO, Warner Bros., and DC Entertainment share the same corporate umbrella, I think this series will happen sooner rather than later (and, hopefully by then, Zack Snyder will have left the DCEU).

So, as a matter of fact, this is no rumor at all. And I can't wait to see darker DC superheroes coming to life on the same network that gave us Game of Thrones, Westworld, Sopranos, Wire, Oz, and so many others.
