I’m getting the urge to make new CDs… or at least new mp3 playlists. The current theme that I want to work with: Comic Books and/or Cartoons. At this point, I have three franchises in mind: Justice League or JLA, X-Men, and The Endless (from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series).

The songs that I choose will be representative of certain characters in the books. I have ideas for most of the songs, but I’m still coming up short in a few areas. That’s where you folks come in: I need suggestions. Feel free to toss in anything that applies… even ‘off the wall’ ideas. And if you have ideas for characters that I haven’t considered, throw them in (along with the character name), too! I’m planning on using the current lineups (more or less), but that’s fairly flexible at this point.

Here’s what I have so far:

  • Justice League
    Superman: Superman – R.E.M. or Five for Fighting
    Wonder Woman: She – Harry Connick, Jr.
    Batman: The Seeker – The Who
    Green Lantern: Everything’s Gone Green – New Order
    Flash: Run – Tin Machine
    Martian Manhunter: Is There Life on Mars? – David Bowie
    Plastic Man (comic book): Rubberband Man – The Spinners
    Hawkgirl (JL cartoon): I’m Like a Bird – Nelly Furtado

  • X-Men
    Cyclops: Red Lenses – Rush
    Phoenix: The Firebird Suite – Igor Stravinsky
    Wolverine: undecided
    Storm: She Builds Monsoons – Hat or Force Ten – Rush
    Nightcrawler: Missionary Man – Eurythmics
    Iceman: Freeze (Part IV of ‘Fear’) – Rush or Frozen – Madonna
    Archangel: Fly Like an Eagle – Steve Miller Band
    White Queen: Killer Queen – Queen
    Stacy X: She Drives Me Crazy – Fine Young Cannibals
    Bishop: undecided
    Rogue: undecided
    Gambit: Shape of My Heart – Sting

  • Sandman – The Endless
    Dream: Dreams – Van Halen and/or Mr. Sandman – Chordettes
    Death: She Talks to Angels – The Black Crowes
    Delirium: Purple Haze – Jimi Hendrix
    Desire: Desire – U2 or Principles of Lust – Enigma
    Despair: Sorrow – David Bowie
    Destiny: Tomorrow Never Dies – Sheryl Crow or Tomorrow We’ll See – Sting
    Destruction: undecided


That should keep you busy for a while.

Peace.
