To me, it would be better as a tv mini series. When I read that book in the late eighties, it tried to touch on underground street life. Now that I have actually lived that life, it seems cheesy and too "black and white." A competent writer could make it work for four to six episodes (too long for a movie, but too short for a serial), but where will they go. The duo's books got cancelled because after a while they became one-trick ponies and/or they needed to ride another's (Spider-Man, X-Men) coattails and readers knew it. So I say in-between: Two episode origin, four episode villain.

(BTW, that's a problem too. They have no rogue' s gallery of their own)...
