Comicscape: Warner Bros. Takes DC to the Movies - Aug 27, 2008 - 05:08pm
It's amazing. Jeff Robinov says "dark" and every freakin idiot alive thinks that means it will be batman because batman was successful and also by most posts it means that the movie will suck even though there is no script and for the time being no real director. I'm with Hanso I think "dark" means more real and relatable. Also for those of you who are outright bashing this guy, he was the executive that green lit the new batman movies and put Nolan on the project. He is not the guy who was behind batman and robin. Based on his instincts in starting the bat franchise over again I'm anxious to see what other projects this guy has up his sleeve. And yes Nolan made the batman movies but Robinov was the executive that decided to take the franchise off the shelf and dust it off. Entertainment Weekly did and article on him when Batman Begins came out and it was his love for the character and knowing the potential it had that brought Batman back to the silver screen. And one more thing, it seems to be the general consensus that the split on Superman Returns between nerds is pretty wide (I'm calling myself a nerd so no one freak out). Whoever posted and said most people want to see the story continue I don't think you read many of the posts. Despite what SR fans are saying and especially the editors of this site, does anyone remember the giant freakin green mineral that Lex Luthor brought to life in the middle of the ocean and was going to sell for real estate. WTF! That was basicly the plot of the movie, how in the world could that be a good lauching pad for a new series of films. I bought and read the script after the movie thinking that maybe it was written better. It's not the script sucked balls. This is an opportunity for some truly talented filmmaker to take Superman in a bold new direction. Yes having superman with a kid was a bold new direction and going into SR I thought it was going to be amazing but I walked out saying Wow twenty years for that. I think Robinov sees how well Batman did and he is going to apply the same re-boot strategy to really put superman back on the map where he belongs. Not make a carbon copy of Nolan's batman. And whoever it was that wrote that DC characters are too wonderbread and have no appeal, the characters and stories are only as good as you write them. Their appeal in 70's when the new GL and Flash were created has nothing at all to do with how they could hold up today. After all Superman and Batman were created in the late 30's and look at how well the Dark Knight did and how upset everyone gets at the handling of Superman. You get good screenwriters and some talented directors and I guarantee that DC movies could hang with Marvel films. No doubt in my mind. The comic books are the same way, right now Grant Morrison is writing batman and Geoff Johns is writing Green Lantern and they are doing some of the best stories for the characters in their history.

Box Office: TROPIC THUNDER Knocks Down the Batman - Aug 17, 2008 - 07:02pm
I think there are still some good movies coming out "evilbeagle" -Body of Lies-The Road-Burn After Reading-Eagle Eye-Changeling-The Fall-The Curious Case of Benjamin Button-The SpiritThere are still a lot of good movie coming out. I've heard really good early buzz on "Body of Lies". Really looking forward to that as it was written by William Monahan the guy who wrote the Departed. I thought that movie kicked major ass! This has been an unusually good summer at the movies with Iron Man and especially The Dark Knight. Which is good because I think the last couple of summers have been crap with (Superman Returns, Die Hard 4, Pirate Movies, Transformers) But I don't buy into the idea that the good movies are all used up in the summer. Usually this is the time when the eye candy and explosions takes a back seat to good stories. Not pretentious arty crap (although a few do sneek through) but really good story driven movies. I think it's unfair to assume that all the movies from now till Christmas will be crap. Just sayin'.
