One of Britain's finest superheroes, Bananaman, might just be getting a movie in 2015.
We don't have much in the way of news on this at the moment, but we do have enough nonetheless to put a grin on the face of those followers of Britain's fruitiest superhero. For it seems as though a Bananaman movie is on the way.
Bananaman, for those who haven't had the pleasure, is a few things. Firstly, it's a sod of a word to have to type over and over in a news story. Secondly, its the alter ego of schoolboy Eric Wimp (whose name eventually changed to Eric Twinge). Thirdly, it was a comic strip that debuted in Nutty comic (remember that?) back in 1980, before transferring to The Dandy.
Eventually spinning off into a television cartoon series too, Eric - along with his trust companion Crow - became Bananaman by eating a banana, and then he find himself with superpowers. A light send-up of the likes of Superman and Batman, he fought familiar-sounding villains such as Doctor Gloom, Skunk Woman, Captain Cream and Witchy Woman.
So where has this movie news come from? Well, a website has popped up at BananamanMovie.com. Said website - linked to a domain registered last year - seems to be a DC Thomson one, and it teases that we should 'peel the power' Furthermore, it also reveals that the project involves Elstree Studio Productions, with a 2015 release date tease.
Maybe Batman Vs Superman shifted back from its own 2015 release out of fear of a different superhero...
I'd like to throw my hat in the ring to play the lead role.
