Why is Warren Beatty holding this IP hostage? Dick Tracy is the best comic strip ever made, but hardly anyone knows about it because Warren has been preventing film adaptations for 35 FUCKING YEARS.

You should be thanking this man that no one else can get their hands on it and make a bunch of shitty adaptations.

There would be trans characters everywhere, nogs where they don't belong, Dick is a faggot and no longer heroic but has his new sidekick, the female Kid, be the one that solves all the crime and helps Dick out of all the shenanigans and is always right and spare me.

>Got my diamonds
>Got my yacht
>Got a guy I adoooooore

Hollywood doesn't have the talent it took to make a movie like this ever again.

How is "Dick" short for Richard? That doesn't even make any sense! It's like Bill and William or Jim and James. But at least Bill and Will rhymes and Jim and James both start with a J.

But Richard and Dick? Like nobody ever says DICKARD!

Get this. Comic books and comic strips were read by kids. Crazy. So kids didnโ€™t relate to some old guy and sales dropped so they added a kid sidekick and sales went up. Batman who modeled its rogue gallery off of Dick Tracy did the same with with Robin because kids didnโ€™t like Batman

Dick Tracy was always intended for an adult audience. Like Prince Valiant or Mary Worth. Sunday funnies have always targeted adults.

Every time I see someone taking a phone call on their smart watch, I think of Dick Tracy.

Sales slumped and why brought The Kid in get kids to read it. Worked and why when kids werenโ€™t like Batman very much they brought in Robin

There's no demand for Dick Tracy anymore. It was not even popular when the film released, hence why it underperformed. You should be happy though cause you know that once modern Hollywood gets it's hands on it, Dick will be buck broken by a big black man within the first 5 minutes. Whatever happened to these fims based off 1930s-40s properties anyway. Shit like The Shadow or The Phantom, I wanted a 90s adaptation of Doc Savage dammit.

I've known of this film just about all my life but I don't recall ever actually watching it. I have been watching some of the originals though, Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome is great.

I know the 90โ€™s movie flopped, but this really needs a โ€œdarkโ€, โ€œgrittyโ€ reboot with modern visual effects

I remember it being atleast a little popular when this came out, the cartoon was already rerunning for awhile before the movie came out.
Shame, this movie has top shelf aesthetics and really feels like a good adaption with minimal interference to get kids to watch it.

I just happened to notice that everyone in this movie was white. This is HIGHLY problematic and I hope Hollywood fixes this with a remake.

It's so wild to me that this movie got made and now it's so largely forgotten. every single frame looks like art.

Brother have you seen the graveyard of failed adaptations, reboots and other trash they've inflicted on hundreds of franchises and IPs? It doesn't need one, especially in today's environment. Keep it away from the Hollywood vampires and media necromancers.

They should do a live action adaptation of Phantom 2040, would be perfect for it (though they'd probably need to update the year since 2040 is only 15 years away now).

So I once knew a girl who's mothers name was Antoinette. People called her Toni. The woman claimed that her name was actually Anquoinette. So I asked her, I asked, why dont people call you Quoni? I never did get a real answer about that.

So what's Dick's USP anyway? He what, investigates mobsters (from the looks of it)? Doesn't seem interesting at all.
