The biggest mistake the makers of the WANTED movie made (besides not making her black) was killing off the Fox character. That said, the graphic novel, which differs from the movie, offers a perfect avenue for continuing the story. ~rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Tracey de Morsella

This is actually a good idea. And Spielberg is the one person who could pull this off. Will Smith is wise to be a part of this. Old Boy is one of my favorites, and this is going to be a watered down version of the story, but it opens up doors for more stories to be told, AND it

Oh, you had to ask! It was that crappy superhero show on the WB a few years ago that featured a team of young superheroines. One was Oracle, one was Black Canary, one was some psychic girl. Shemar Moore starred as a police detective. It was horrible, and canceled very quickly, thank goodness.

My mistake: one of the character's isn't Black Canary herself, but her daughter. The show was still crappy, though. It had silly plots, bad acting, and a really dark look that was less of a mood setter than it was something that looked like bad camera work. Reminded me of bad computer game CGI,
