:clap

[METALMiKE]

More good movies coming in May: Speed Racer, and Indiana Jones

[leemajors]

i have high hopes, but i will go into it thinking it will suck hoping to be pleasantly surprised. iron man kicks ass.

[Ginofan]

Man, if they do Iron Man right, it should be one of the better comic book movies to come out.

[METALMiKE]

Another Hulk movie and The Mummy 3 in June 08.

[L.I.T]

Uhhhh...The Dark Knight in July?

From what I've seen so far of Iron Man, it looks like they are doing ok *cross my fingers*

[E20]

They're gonna rape and defile Iron Man, just like they've done every other Comic Book movie. Tony Stark is going to be played by Antonio Banderas with a mustache probably and it's gonna suck. So far The Dark Knight looks SICK. Thank God they didn't fuck up one of my all time favorite superhero: Batman.

Actually, I kinda like the guy who they cast for Tony Stark: Robert Downey Jr. The cast pic they released a couple of weeks ago looked pretty decent actually.

Rumor is there's gonna be a DK teaser on The Simpsons movie.

Christian Bale is like money in the bank when it comes to movies, brah.
Even though I don't agree with what they're doing with the movie, I'll see that for sure. Bale = great actor.


Iron Man was a douche to begin with, so let them fuck him up. They fucked up the friggin HULK in like 2003, so after that the floodgates have been open. Honestly, did anyone have any interest in the movie Electra beyond Jennifer Garner's long slender body?

While I do agree with you about Batman looking SICK I disagree with you about Iron Man if you have ever read the comics Tony Stark looks hispanic if you will he has black long hair and a goetee and Robert Downy Jr. is playing him which is a pretty good pick

[Cant_Be_Faded]

But its common knowledge Tony Stark was a successful entrepeneur/businessman/executive who probably started out as a yuppie from former yuppie parents, that just does not fit the bill as a hispanic, if anything he was half italian.

Plus Banderas has not made a good movie without Selma Hayek's breasts ever.

Close enough. Downey should play Xanatos in the Gargoyles movie, if they ever made one.


Even though I don't agree with what they're doing with the movie, I'll see that for sure
The first one stayed true to the comics, with a couple of exceptions:
1) They tried to do the Prelude to the 13 nights of Halloween storyline, but incorporated Scarecrow, he should have been in Arkham Asylum himself.
2) Ra's Al Ghul isn't European and he isn't that young, he should look MUCH OLDER.
3) Holmes character, Rachel Dawes, is not needed and isn't in the comic book and served no real purpose. If they wanted Batman to have a love interest go with the Comic book and use Ra's Al Ghul's daughter.

I know, I did not say he was Hispanic I said he looked Hispanic

[E20]

I was being sarcastic when I said Banderas, like they'd purposly use a bad actor with a thick accent to play Tony Stark.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Don't you find it odd that DC comics seem to find a better audience at the movies than Marvel? Spiderman is an outlier so exclude that for a second, it raped on kids unfimiliar with storylines pre1999 anyways.

Do you think its cuz of the nature of the DC superheroes or luck with the directors and cast?

I'd rather see Bale as swamp thing than the giant scottish douche who played hulk, only jennifer conolley swimming naked in the ocean could have saved that movie.

[E20]

The Spider Man movies, they're the real deal-- they SUCK and I hate them. There are way too many things in one movie. The producers were probably smoking weed, I mean they include Venom, the Sandman, and the Green Goblin? Holy shit, that's worse than the Sinister Six. And I could have accepted the fact that Venom and Sandman, but Green Goblin? He was in the last two movies, give him a break or something. I didn't like Toby playing Peter Parker, that just fucked up for me as well. It basically just took characters from the comic book and made it's own story, which sucked.

I heard Superman Returns sucked ass, I haven't seen it so I don't know, but the only comic book movie that I have liked is Batman Begin. So far all the other ones have failed miserable.

[E20]

Captain America is coming out with his own film too and the Avengers as well. Captain America gets two movies.

[sabar]

Always go in with low expectations and assume it will be non-canonical and you'll be happy.

You do mean the comics right because if you are talking about DC movies vs Marvel movies then Marvel slowly rapes DC and then squirts their load all over DC's face the first two Spider-Man movies alone made a combined 1.5 billion dollars and while spiderman 3 got alot of criticism it has made over 800 mil worldwide and don't forget about X-men which has also done well DC really only has Batman and Superman they are even going to make a Teen Titans movie just because they are scrambling to find good enough heroes to make movies off of

Marvels Hits in terms of money making
Spider-man 1,2,3
X-men 1,2,3
Blade 1,2,3
Fantastic Four 1,2,
and know coming up Iron Man and a remake of HULK entitled 'The Incredible Hulk' with Edward Norton as the title character

that is one of the main reasons why DC hopes that Chris Nolan does Batman justice which he has so far and that is one of the reasons why DC has given Bryan Singer a second chance to make a more action Superman movie

[leemajors]

live action is just not the way to go. you could make kick ass, faithful, animated movies with high profile voices at a fraction of the cos and the comic nerd lobby would go in droves. look at how much the clone wars cartoons kicked ass vs the new star wars movies.

[E20]

DC has tons of characters they could make movies out of, but a little uknown fact is that DC doesn't appeal to people as Marvel does. DC is OLD SKOOL so the generation that liked DC comics -- they're all dead, some people still like DC, but they only know two characters: Batman and Superman. I guess you could say that Marvel is for all the kids who blindly go and watch anything during the summer and DC's main audience is too old for them to a make a movie out of.

Characters about a DC Hero:
Green Lantern
Flash
Wonder Woman
Hawkman/Woman
Green Martian
Doomsday
Captain Marvel
Metron
Aqua Man

And Superman would pwn any Superhero in the Marvel universe.

Exactly but all this live action superhero movies really comes from the success that Spider-man has had suffice to say that not every live action superhero movie can be as good and profitable as Spider-man

[CuckingFunt]

Plus Banderas has not made a good movie without Selma Hayek's breasts ever.

Correction: Banderas has not made a good movie without Salma Hayek's breasts ever IN AMERICA.

His career in Spain, especially in Pedro Almodovar's early films, is quite remarkable.

[leemajors]

every live action superhero movie is very profitable. even if it bombs in the US they bank outside of the US, especially in the East. that's why they keep being made.

You forgot about Green Arrow who has already gotten a greenlight from DC/WB Batman Begin's David Goyer has written the script entitled Super Max

which shows Green Lantern in costume only for the first ten min and then he gets caught and put in a maximum security prison with some of the b and c list DC villains he put their the villains will not be in costume and will use their real names so now Oliver Queen has to survive and even team up with some baddies to try and escape and clear his name

this sounds HORRIBLE and I like Goyer, but his track record of late has not been good.

Superman can pwn every superhero even Batman he is the perfect superhero which makes him a tad boring story line wise you'd have to put him up against Doomsday in order for the plot to be kick ass

[Avitus1]

DC characters are kind of hard to translate to movies because the origins of the characters are kinda far fetched. Look at Green Lantern it would be hard to present his origins as realistically as possible and if you stay true to the source material you'd alienate people in the audience.

I think Cat Woman made it hard to make any DC character other then Batman and Superman bankable. They cant even get Wonder Woman off the ground.

Ughhh....i said spiderman was an outlier
And I forgot about Blade, parts 1 and 2 tight, part 3 = lame
Xmen 1 = lame 2 = good 3 = awesome potential but overall lame
Fantastic Four 1 had the dude from nip/tuck as Dr Viktor Von Doom, say it out loud to realize how stupid that sounds.
Fantastic four 2 looks pretty cool and have not seen it yet so i'll consider it good

So NOT COUNTING SPIDERMAN AS THE OUTLIER, marvel has a bunch of mediocre movies, not based on revenues, but in terms of how they portrayed what they were supposed to show, DC's characters seem to transfer into movie format more comfortably than X-mens. Like E20 said, they jammed so much crap into the Spiderman movies to make the viewer immersed in the world, it was just stupid. In fact, all these stunts like that, including x-men movies overloading every movie with too many superheros to develop properly in a 1.4 hour movie, are ripping off Burton's Batman Returns, which actually included just enough villains/heroes to pull it off well. Every character was related to and developed.

These new comic movies suck balls for the most part, and are feeding off a movie industry that has had like bad movies for almost 6 or 7 years straight and kids who never even kept up with the comics before 1999.


btw, catwoman did blow too. naturally.

[ShoogarBear]

CBF doesn't like Iron Man because he drives a Tahoe.

:rollin

Also, there are very few good movies without Salma Hayek's breasts.

[peewee's lovechild]

Robert Downey, Jr.
Terrance Howard
Gwyneth Paltrow
Jeff Bridges
and . . . . Samuel "Mother Fucking" Jackson as Nick Fury!!!!!!!!

This movie is gonna own all sorts of ass!!!!!!!!

Downey is perfect for the role becasue Stark had an alcohol and drug addiction. And, (guess what???) Downey is comming off of all that bullshit. He's going to bring a sense of realism and believability to the movie.

Awesome cast.
Great expectations.

I think we won't be let down.

[ShoogarBear]

Robert Downey Jr. may be just about the most talented actor in the business. There's nothing he can't do.

Except, unfortunately, consistently pick good movies.

[E20]

It's like renacting the story of Jesus from the Bible, but instead of Nazareth it's in St. Louis, instead of three wisemen, it's three crack dealers, and instead of Camal's it's Escalades. That's what comic book movies are today.

Batman, in the JLA comics, speacially designed a suit for cases where other Krypotonians would arrive or Superman goes berserk and it's made of Kryptonite crystalline fibers(I dont' know how that works, but it's a comic) and it's basically the exact same suit, except it's made out of kryptonite, so Batman > Superman. In fact Batman is the face of DC comics. DC used to stand for Detictive Comics and the original Batman series in the Late 30's was called Detictive Comics and one of Bat's nicknames is "Detictive". Superman was included in the face since his popularity rose as being 'Super'. And Captain Marvel >> Superman, because the only other weakness of Supes, besides Kryptonite, is magic and Capt. Marvels power is magic based. And there are probably only 5 regular heroes in the Marvel universe that could hold up and contain Superman.

So what you are saying is that DC's characters seem to transfer into movie format more comfortably in terms of how they portrayed what they were supposed to show well again I have to disagree with you while Marvel movies follow the origins, I can't say the same thing about DC movies look at the past Batman movies they ranged from good to awful they did not follow the origins Bruce's parents were never murdered by the joker and Bruce was never a recluse The Penguin was never a ink spitting raw fish eating mutant and catwoman never had 9 lives that she got from alley cats licking and biting her wounds Robin's family was not killed by two face in fact Dick Grayson was a mere 13 to 15 years old when he joined Batman and finally Bat Girl/Barbra GORDON was Jim Gordon's daughter not Alfred's niece

Sure I just named the old Batman movies as an example but believe it or not that's all it took to make people lose faith in DC why do you think it took so long to find a director for Batman no one wanted to continue with the old franchise and if their ever was a director that wanted to take on the project they wanted to make an R rated batman with a black Alfred named Big Al who adopted a homeless poor Bruce Wayne even now DC has trouble bringing their characters to film it’s no mystery why so many great actors are in marvel superhero films marvels characters are just better and more popular now,

just look at whats next for marvel films Iron Man (with Robert Downy Jr. and Jeff Bridges as Obadiah Stane aka Iron Monger and Terance Howard as James Rhodes aka War Machine ) The Incredible Hulk (with Edward Norton and Tim Roth as Abomination ) A Nick Fury movie (that will spin off from Iron Man) Captain America, The Avengers, Spider-Man 4,5,and 6, Wolverine, and Magneto

While DC has The Dark Knight, Superman: Man of Steel, The Watchmen, and The Green Arrow movie AKA SuperMax

That's perfect. The Joker was turned into a big fat joke. He went from an insane crazed killer who murdered for fun into a bumbling jewel thief.

The Iron Man pics look like they're trying to make it a dark gloomy film, kinda like a Film Noir, but that would be a horrible route to go for an Iron Man movie, in fact that would be a rip off from Batman, but two pics can't show the whole movie.

If you've read the 1st major crossover of Marvel and DC, Lobo is pitted against Wolverine and Wolverine ABSLOUTELY PWNED HIS ASS! It kind of made me go WTF and mad, because Lobo is this bad ass space mongerer who can put Supes up the ropes, but he get's his ass handed to him so badly by Wolverine. But it had to do with the fact that the fans mailed in there votes on who should win the Marvel vs DC matchups, but Wolverine still would have taken Lobo and give Superman his money's worth, but the fight was so fast, it was literally or I guess in this case artistically a page long.
