It looks like we can add another superhero movie to the 2015 schedule, with Den of Geek reporting that the classic British comic book character / children’s series Bananaman is heading to the big screen, with the website Bananamanmovie.com suggesting that we’ll “Peel the Power” next year.
Bananaman is the alter-ego of Eric Wimp (a.k.a. Eric Twinge), a young schoolboy who transforms into the fruity superhero when he eats a banana. The character first appeared as a comic strip in Nutty in 1980 before transferring to The Dandy and The Beano, while he also made the jump to the small screen for a BBC animated series which was produced between 1983 and 1986.
