Are We Really in for a Bananaman Movie?
March 18, 2014 by dracs
Who is England's greatest super-hero? Some might say Captain Britain. Some might say Union Jack. Some might say John Constantine, and they'd be right! However, a close second has to be Dandy's Bananaman, who could be headed to cinemas come 2015!
Those of you who don't know who this amazing super hero is can find him all over youtube, but here is a quick run down. Bananaman started as a comic strip in the pages of Nutty magazine, later moving to The Dandy. It followed the adventures of Eric, a kid who transforms into Bananaman whenever he eats a banana. It was a light-hearted parody of superheroes, especially Superman, and many of Bananaman's enemies were recognisably based on familiar comic book characters.
I stumbled across this news on Den of Geek who pointed to a new web page that has been set up; bananamanmovie.com, where we can find an intriguing hashtag inviting us to Peel the Power.
No word yet on whether or not this is really happening. It could just be a hoax. But, with superheroes riding high in the popular consciousness at the moment, maybe the time is right for Eric to once again become Bananaman.
Eric is Bananaman!
This is 29 Acacia Road. And this is Eric
from that line every schoolboy at tea time in the 80s knew he was in for fun
And school girl :p well this one anyway lol
I used to really like the comic strip as a young ‘un. I’ve considered apples to be evil ever since lol
No, we will never be ready and that’s the charming thing.
One does sadly remember this beiing that old, but are we s8re this isn’t some advert for a more Adult orientated Bannaman movie 😛
Do you know if there filming it in Bangkok?
I loved watching this as a child 🙂 not totally sure what to think of it becoming a film though
Arent DC already making this movie with Ben Affleck?
HATED Bananaman !!
But at least they aren’t remaking Superted , that was pure evil !!
Worse still was “Why don’t you?” .
I liked superted, I didnt however like the vitimin tablets that where shaped like him… Scarred for life haha
Superted was great!
Superted was wack! Nowhere near as good as ‘Round the bend’ with Wee-Man, Thunderpants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Toilets!
god I hated this so much and superted made this look good
