In 2011, ABC Studios and Fox gave a put pilot commitment to 'The Punisher' - a TV series from the creator of CBS' 'Criminal Minds.' The idea was that Frank Castle was a cop by day and a vigilante by night, which sounds like a horrible idea (or at least a horrible rip off of 'The Equalizer'). The pilot wasn't picked up but that doesn't mean that Marvel still isn't cooking up a new version (the Guillermo del Toro produced 'Hulk' TV series is still in the works, despite Marvel maintaining they're interested in another 'Hulk' film).



An amazing 'Punisher' has had many stumbling blocks but none may be bigger than a Fox TV series, especially when where Frank Castle is a cop. It seems horribly misguided and will only drive hardcore fans further away from the franchise and continue to confuse casual fans. Can the plans for a TV show and focus 100% on the movie.
