I think considering how difficult this is (without googling) I'll give you that one.

It stands for SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion

Do I have to go again then?

Starting in 1951, there have been 22 movie adaptations of D.C Comics characters. Name as many of these movies as you can. (made for T.V movies do not count).

Did wonder about MoS. Stuck now though.

You've definitely seen one of the missing ones, probably haven't seen the others. One is the very first D.C release to the theatres in 1951 (even before my time !!)
Oh, and it's Jonah Hex.

Oh. I'm gonna plump for another Superman film then.

Jonah Hex? ok. I stand corrected then.

I'll give you that one. It's Superman and the Mole Men. It was actually a pilot for the 50's t.v series but was released in cinemas.

Only 4 to go.

Really? Never heard of it!

Sorry but don't know the final four...

Release dates.........1982, 1989, 1997, 2009. The 1989 one was a "Return Of" the 1982 one. The 1997 one is quite obscure but starred a very famous basketball player. And the 2009 one is about a vintage team.

Hmmm...

The 1982/89 character has the aka of Alex Olsen, and is a rip-off of a more superior Marvel creation.
The 1997 movie is also a bit of a rip-off, this time (loosely) of Iron man and the characters real name is John Henry Irons.
The easiest clue to give for the 2009 movie is....................Blue Penis.

1997 - Steel. Nothing to do with Iron Man. Steel was one of the four Superman that appeared in 'The Reign of Supermen' comic storyline that ran whilst Superman was 'dead'. Didn't think this got a cinematic release though?
2009 - Watchmen!!!

Not a clue on the others.

Edit: Thanks to a feature on SFX magazines website I think the two I'm missing are Swamp Thing & Return of Swampthing...
