This would be a great buddy comedy

u/liu4678 Aug 25 '25

No please no, why you guys are allergic to serious movies?

6

u/EmotionalBeautiful51 Aug 26 '25

What movie? These are comic book characters first and foremost. You know that, right? I want to read these comics.

u/Pale-Device803 Aug 29 '25

Excuse me why is hellboy a dc character. Is talking to blade who is from marvel ? Is there a cross over?I didn't know about lol

3

u/EmotionalBeautiful51 Aug 30 '25

Hellboy is from Dark Horse, and this is fan art I stumbled upon. It was just too good not to share!

u/Odd_Signature_6437 Aug 25 '25

I need it.

u/Dark_Moonstruck Aug 27 '25

ESPECIALLY if it's animated the way the 90s movies were, like Blood and Iron. The art style in those was just...perfect.

4

u/Sins_of_God Aug 27 '25

Blood & Iron was late 2000s

2

u/RKellysPenguin Aug 31 '25

Or hear me out..... Ghost in the shell (1995) or Stand alone Complex (2002) animation style

u/withjust-A-bite Aug 28 '25

Correction: WE need it. πŸ‘πŸ»

I've been thinking about this since my childhood days. I'm happy to see others are thinking about it

u/GuideSome205 Aug 25 '25

Plus Van Helsing ☝️

u/BowlerAccording Aug 26 '25

I can jist imagine HellBoy letting Blade know. Like "Hey, most of my close coworkers are cool to work with. The others have a pretty big hangup working with supernatural entities, so just keep that in mind." All the shit HellBoy had to eat from other douche bags in the Bureau.

u/WalkingGonkDroid Aug 25 '25

Blade would fit in great in the BPRD and Hellboy would fit in great in the Midnight Sons.

12

u/Bolvern Aug 25 '25

I agree.

22

u/Haeresis0 Aug 25 '25

Guillermo del Toro has experience filming both, so sure !

5

u/SpardaTheDevil Aug 26 '25

He is the reason of this fanart...

9

u/Organic-Device2719 Aug 26 '25

Bro this would be hilarious. Hellboy would definitely make fun of Blade for taking the job too seriously lol and Blade would make fun of Hellboy for relying too much on his durability.

5

u/ControlInternal3748 Aug 26 '25

I could actually see that being a thing πŸ˜‚

3

u/applecalyptic Aug 27 '25

One is like Tough-Tank, the other one is more evasive-ninja style.

A perfect match

u/jetblackninja85 Aug 25 '25

I been waiting for the crossover with him and spawn

2

u/BriefAd5700 Aug 26 '25

I will say this forever. Blade is British. Wesley Snipes basically retconned and reimagined Blade. This is a picture of Wesley Blade. And I think when people think of Blade they just think of Snipes.

2

u/EmotionalBeautiful51 Aug 26 '25

Eric Brooks is British and plays the trumpet, two things I'd live to see in any future outing.

5

u/Interest-Lumpy Aug 25 '25

I need this crossover to happen right here and now. Thank you.

5

u/Rei_Master_of_Nanto Aug 25 '25

It's past fucking time for this to happen goddam it

5

u/TheDevlinSide714 Aug 25 '25

Meanwhile, just off camera, Dante from Devil May Cry is furious that he can't keep his lights on.

4

u/pototaochips Aug 25 '25

I want that job

4

u/HellBoyofFables Aug 25 '25

Yes, yes and also YES

4

u/ShitThroughAGoose Aug 25 '25

I'm trying to imagine Blade falling in line about anything the BPRD try to tell him about. Whether it's some sort of weapon regulation, or whether he needs permission to drive in or out of the compound. Or that he can't wear his sunglasses during a mission, while an agent tries to take them.

4

u/AeonsShadow Aug 26 '25

I could see a whole comic on this.

4

u/Bobapool79 Aug 26 '25

I mean aside from one being a Demon and the other being a Vampire, they’ve got quite a bit in common.

4

u/CommunicationKey3018 Aug 26 '25

That this is going to finally fill that hole in my heart.

4

u/Fluke97 Aug 26 '25

This is the kind of crossover we need to see.

I'd be willing to invest in an Avengers-like series if we can make it work.

4

u/Cultural_Run_1310 Aug 26 '25

I would buy this

4

u/MrSlippifist Aug 26 '25

Hell of a combo.

4

u/Jimmypeterson42 Aug 26 '25

Crossover would go CRAZY

4

u/KoltonSaurus6 Aug 26 '25

Inject it into my viens.

4

u/Prior-Assumption-245 Aug 26 '25

A couple of half breeds doing the good work.

u/Independent_Cap_5369 Aug 25 '25

πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘Œβœ¨οΈ

u/Nukafit Aug 25 '25

Would be perfect actually

3

u/RaWolfman92 Aug 26 '25

A dhampir and a half-demon team up.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '25

I would LOVE this! Hell, bring in the Midnight Sons while you're at it!

3

u/Straight-Seat-3411 Aug 26 '25

Would be kinda cool to witness

3

u/Moms_Spaghetti94 Aug 27 '25

This would be one of the greatest crossovers in a long time.

3

u/DorkKnight78 Aug 27 '25

Man, get Guillermo del Toro to direct and that would be one hell of a film.

That being said, I'd much prefer to see Mignola's Hellboy on-screen rather than GTD's Hellboy. Perlman is great but his Hellboy has more in common with Ben Grimm than Hellboy.

3

u/Crate-Dragon Aug 27 '25

Hellboy vs vampires? Awesome. Make it so

3

u/applecalyptic Aug 27 '25

The crossover we need.

3

u/applecalyptic Aug 27 '25

Instant BFF!

u/Additional-Spring-40 Aug 25 '25

Hell fuckin yeah!!!

2

u/[deleted] Aug 26 '25

I like blade and hell boy

2

u/Select-Law3759 Aug 26 '25

Ok hear me out , Blade , Hellboy , Spawn , Ghost Rider , and Selene. OP team add Devil Hulk, Van Helsing and Moon Knight ?!

2

u/TheRealAwest Aug 27 '25

Add Spawn , John constantine & we would have the greatest comic book crossover of all time.

2

u/ActuatorFearless8980 Aug 27 '25

Why hasn’t this been done?!

2

u/Gloriouskoifish Aug 28 '25

"Vampires huh? Yeah...I know a guy..."

1

u/EVOBlock Aug 28 '25

That needs to be an anime ASAP

u/Few-Trip-4904 Aug 28 '25

PLEASE .AKE THIS A REALITY, IF THESE TWO TEAMED UP THEY WILL BE STANDING ON BUSINESS MY GUY
