Update: 4.41pm - Bananaman publisher DC Thompson has been in touch to say this will be a live action film.
In which case, we will now have the answer to a question which maybe no one had contemplated until now: what would a real-life Bananaman look like?
We can only hope that the film explores Bananaman's gritty origin story much in the same way Christopher Nolan rebooted the Batman series, but this seems unlikely.
