I wonder what take they'd have on the Hulk this time around. I doubt the "loner who drifts into town and solves people's problems" would fly today; that genre of show has totally fallen by the wayside.
I think The Punisher would work fine as an FX or HBO series. And I got the clear sense that all of these projects cited in the article are meant as live-action shows.
I'm cautiously interested, especially if they go Joe Fixit. However, having Jeph Loeb attached to these projects doesn't inspire confidence.
Heroes for Hire or Daughters of the Dragon are both shows I would watch. Same with Moon Knight and Alter Ego. I think all of those would be workable on television.
If you think about it, all the melodrama of "Cloak & Dagger" would set the teen-crowd swooning. It could easily be very "Twilight"-like without directly aping the vampire craze.

Cloak & Dagger are a "hot property"? Really?
Ka-Zar? The last Tarzan TV show was quickly cancelled.
The Red Hood? I think they meant just The Hood!
The Punisher? Depends on how much they water him down!
Cue poignant closing theme...

If only the remake of The Bionic Woman hadn't bit the dust ...
