There were a bunch of books and comic books from my youth I didn't think would get adapted but there's a DC The Ray animated series so I guess everything is at least a maybe.

A full Saga of Swamp Thing movie series would be wonderful. There's no way Alan Moore signs off on any more movie adaptations though.

I don't think Moore has any say in it.

That's kinda sad, I know he didn't invent the character but that run of Saga of is one of my favorite comics

DC and Marvel own all the rights to all of their characters, it was the primary motivation behind the exodus of superstar talent from those companies to form Image comics in the early 90s, where creators owned the rights to their characters.

I personally can't wait to see this version of Swamp Thing!

That's awesome! James Mangold directing sounds great too. If it's not 'Saga of' then letting them do their own standalone thing sounds like the next best thing.
