Sounds very funny... notice the recent B-Movie Superhero/Comedy coming down the road. Uma's mental ex-girlfriend film. Will Smith going for superhero comedy. Is this the "newest slant" hollywood is trying to do with superheros?

If they manage to stay true to Chaykin's vision, this might just be good.

I agree, greatest american hero meets something else that I can't think of right now.

This Comic was damn funny. Lots of dark humor. It's like the greatest american hero, but kinda opposite. The CIA agent does all the work and makes the super look good, not the other way around. Although it's alot darker than GAH. I agree, if the movie stays true to the feel of the book, this comic fan will be happy. Peace yo...
