CAPTAIN AMERICA plot synopsis revealed - Oct 06, 2008 - 07:56am
NEVER MIND- found the answer: The circular shield most associated with Captain America made its debut in Captain America Comics #2 (April 1941). A convex metal disc approximately 2.5 feet in diameter, it is virtually indestructible and has remained his most constant shield over the decades. Again through retroactive continuity, it is established that the shield was presented to Rogers by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.[1] The shield is created by a fictional American metallurgist named Dr. Myron MacLain, who had been commissioned by the US government to create an indestructible armor material to aid the war effort. MacLain experiments with vibranium, an alien metal found only in Wakanda that has unique vibration absorption properties. Captain America vol. 5, #5 (May 2005). Cover art by Steve Epting.During one of his experiments to fuse vibranium with an experimental iron alloy,[2] MacLain falls asleep and awakens to find the experiment a success. However, this is due to an unknown catalyst entering the process during his slumber, and he is unable to duplicate the result. The vibranium-iron alloy mix is then poured into a mold for a tank's upper hatch to create the disc shape and painted to become Captain America's symbol. Rogers' indestructible shield was long referred to, even in continuity, as being composed of an adamantium-vibranium alloy. This contradicted earlier established continuity, as adamantium is only developed after Rogers is revived from suspended animation, during MacLain's later experiments to try and duplicate the material of the shield. Adamantium makes its first appearance in Marvel Comics in Avengers Vol. 1 #66, July 1969. The adamantium-vibranium error first appears in the Captain America entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (the composition of the shield is accurately described in the adamantium entry as "vibranium-iron") and was propagated in several subsequent stories by writers using the Handbook as a reference. An attempt to correct this was made in Captain America #303–304 (March–April 1985), which establishes that the shield is made of vibranium and an "experimental iron alloy", but that did not prevent the repetition of the "adamantium-vibranium" description over the years. The vibranium in the shield is what absorbs virtually all of the kinetic impact from any blows that the shield receives, allowing it to withstand incredible amounts of force without injuring Rogers in the process. The vibranium is also a factor in the way Rogers throws his shield: he often uses it to ricochet around a room and strike various opponents with little loss of velocity in its forward movement after each impact.

I have a friend that says the shield has Adamantium like Wolverine but I don't remember ever reading that- can anyone confirm?

Favreau talks about IRON MAN 2 and AVENGERS - Oct 03, 2008 - 06:03am
Favreau did what few directors could do which was create a superhero movie that was neither silly(Schumaker Batman) nor overbearingly serious(Daredevil) and he accomplished taking a lesser known character and made him a household name. IMO Iron Man was a much better accomplishment than Batman Begins and I can only imagine Iron Man 2 will be phenomenal. As for Dark Knight- that was a movie in a whole different stratosphere and can't be touched by any Marvel film past present or future...because it's Batman and Gotham. But thats okay because I love both Marvel and DC books and movies. Heck Pacino's Scarface will never compare to Brando's Godfather but both those films were fantastic. What I like the most is that Favreau and Nolan's films will inspire future films to be equal in quality which is great news for us. I can't wait for Avengers and I know it will cause WB and DC to churn out a good Justice League. Thank you Favreau and Nolan for a great summer- and props to Norton for a good Hulk movie even if boxoffice didn't reflect.

The CW tumbles for 'The Graysons' - Oct 01, 2008 - 09:40am
Dear CW/WB, Your current audience is primarily teens and young adults due to the surprising success of 'Gossip Girl','One Tree Hill' and '90210'. Now don't get me wrong...I am a comic book geek from way back and I am a longtime fan of Superman so I have watched and stuck with Smallville even though it isn't the best interpretation of the man of steel. It has moments- but it has lasted because of the attractive young cast as with all your shows. The CW/WB model type kids/young adults that frequent everyone of your shows is the draw, but lets just for a moment assume you want to appeal to comic book fans also. No,no,no to 'The Graysons'. It will fail faster than 'Runaway' and 'Jack and Bobby', if it lasts as long as 'Birds of Prey' you will still cancel it. So here is an idea since obviously you want to replace 'Smallville': Riverview High School is home to 5 teens with 'gifts',to the school they are the outcasts who reside at an orphanage/home run by John Jones(J'onn J'onnz the Martian)and a female to be determined(Barbara Gordon maybe?). The Riverview Titans has an athletic program unrivaled while the Private School across town is the Academic whiz(home to teen villains in training). See where I'm going? Your five outcasts who deal with everyday teen life and love while fighting crime and protecting the city are Tim Drake or Dick Grayson as Robin,Raven the goth girl with mystical power,Starfire brought to earth by the martian to protect her,Cyborg from 'Smallville'and either 'Impulse' Wally West or a shape shifter code named Beastboy(save on the f/x and go with Impulse),across town is the Private School run by headmaster Slade. So with that premise you can revisit high school as with your other shows and still bring in comic book fans- think of it as: the Gossip Girl school vs West Beverly high with teen superheroes. It has potential to be your next 'Smallville'- meaning it can run for about 5 yrs maybe longer and still hit your target demographic. That is alot more interesting than a family of trapeze artists and a kid who eventually becomes Robin- if he never becomes Robin and Batman isn't in the show then why would anyone watch? Sincerely, Cliff Rivera actor/writer www.man-of-steel-movie.webs.com

Box Office Update: KNIGHT Captures Box Office History for WB - Jul 21, 2008 - 09:14am
I would like to thank Fandango for giving me the chance to buy tix in advance. I saw Dark Knight thurs at midnight,friday at 10pm,saturday morning at 1115 and midnight saturday and I am going back to the IMAX this week and at least 2 other showings. New York is Bat Crazy- last night the AMC Empire on 42nd st had a line 2 blocks long to get in to see The Bat at 7pm. Everyone loves the movie- everyone I have talked to think it is one of the best films ever not just comic book. It is an Oscar contender and blasphemy to anyone who thinks it was too long or too this or too anything. The time flew by- the acting was fantastic,the action sequences were amazing even the 4th time seeing it. Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart owned their characters and Christian Bale is the Batman hands down. Thank you Nolan brothers for an amazing story and good luck trying to top this masterpiece with your 3rd film.

THE DARK KNIGHT: The Joker's Wild! - Jul 17, 2008 - 11:16am
A- ? that must mean A+ in our judgement..I like how the review gave compliments to Iron Man when this site gaveit a B- (or was it B+?) Ledger is unrecognizable- that is the Joker up there on the screen and that is a testament to how committed he was to this role and project. Tonite will be my second time seeing the film and I still will feel that this is easily one of the greatest crime dramas ever not just comic book movie. It belongs in the AFI top 100 and that is a sincere statement not a fanboy one. Enjoy everyone!

Top Maniacal Rumors: Riddler's Clues, Super Millar and Abe Frankenstein - Jul 05, 2008 - 09:43pm
After watching 'Gotham Knight' I now fully believe the way they have Killer Croc could translate to the big screen- a killer with a skin condition and sharpened teeth and the byproduct of Scarecrows' toxin flowing thru his veins like a person carrying disease. Two Face should come back in a fourth movie while Batman is trying to handle being a vigilante and a crime fighter at the same time. Catwoman(4th movie w Two Face), 3rd movie Killer Croc and maybe Baby Doll or Clock King maybe Mad Hatter... Definite no villains include: Man-Bat,Poison Ivy,Mr Freeze,Clayface,Bane and Joker(too soon) but nobody says we can't have Harley Quinn!!

Bale Will Bail if Robin Shows in KNIGHT Sequel - Jul 05, 2008 - 09:34pm
I trust Nolan could make Robin work as a character if he wanted too- something like "the Professional" if anyone remembers that movie. If it were to happen(I hope they just leave Robin with the Titans) it should be in the very last movie (I say stop at 3 Nolan)-very last act of the movie Bruce rescues the future Robin and let the kid be 11 or 12 tops. Let Bruce raise a son like his father tried to raise him- purely for dramatic effect of course. If Nolan goes to a fourth movie he can always have the boy and not necessarily a Robin. Make it that Dick Grayson has no idea for a couple years- at least until 15 or 16. As for Riddler- well since unfortunately you cant bring back the Joker~ The Riddler could force the detective to come out which we havn't seen yet from this Bruce Wayne. Over the years Batman has won many battles out-smarting criminals. As of this moment the current Batman is just a ninja in a semi bulletproof suit(fingers crossed that he becomes more deep than just a martial artist). Allow Jim Carrey to go darker with his Riddler instead of the Schumacher treatment~ Carrey can get as wicked as Heath did with Joker if you let him or second choice the actor who played 'ThinMan' in Charlies Angels(forgot his name)

HANCOCK: Superman III 1/2? - Jul 02, 2008 - 11:51pm
wow I think I just read that you can't throw a whale by the tail if what is grasping it is smaller...blah blah blah. Gosh thank you for that information. It totally changed my view of Hancock....and Iron Man and Hulk and Batman and Spider-Man etc etc etc. I can't wait for the review...I am on the edge of my seat...

HANCOCK: Superman III 1/2? - Jul 02, 2008 - 12:59pm
Its a pop corn good time type of movie- not anywhere near the caliber of Iron Man or Incredible Hulk but of course the B- is the same grade Mania gave Iron Man so....ANYWAY...thank you reviewer for spoiling the movie for anyone who hadn't watched it...yes you gave a huge spoiler disguised as your review which is a clear indication of how well qualified you really are in this position. Hopefully you don't write a review for 'Dark Knight'.

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL - May 22, 2008 - 08:31pm
Good movie yes...great no. A- ? I know it is a different reviewer but this is the same site that gave Iron Man a B. whatever... Anyhow- as with sequals- it is almost impossible to top the original..for me it has been only done twice- Empire Strikes Back and Godfather II. This one is the fourth best of the Indy movies but Crusade is only slightly better(almost a tie)- I would have preferred a search for Atlantis or the Fountain of Youth but this was definitely entertaining and worth the price of a ticket. I do feel though that a part 5 is pushing it- especially if it's just Shia and no Harrison.

IRON MAN - May 05, 2008 - 02:26pm
I mean combining classic and ultimate looks- Iron Man looked fantastic Wasp doesn't wear a mask so she will look fine But then the whole mask thing with Captain America and Hawkeye doesn't really work and AntMans' helmet with his ability to cybernetically 'speak' to insects? The Thor is such a mythic persona that for the big screen he almost has to go without a cape and helmet and tone down the bright yellow accents on his outfit. Mask worked for Spidey and a cape for BatMan and Superman but somehow I think they will go the way of the Xmen franchise. The Captain America outfit from the 1992 film is pretty hideous(or maybe it's the movie) So long as they don't pull a 'Smallville' with the hoods and sunglasses that they used for the Justice League.

IRON MAN - May 05, 2008 - 07:01am
Actually Tony Stark goes over that statement of the suit and the name 'Iron Man'. So is this Abbie Bernstein ready to change her grade of the movie or does she need 7 more pages of comments? I am guessing that she rated 'Howard the Duck' and 'Buckaroo Banzai' higher than 'Iron Man'...oh well can't please everyone. And since everyone has by now already either seen it or know of it... How sweet was it to hear "I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative"? Hey Marvel! let Favreau direct it! Don't let anyone interfere like they did with 'Spider-Man 3' and in my opinion don't use Thor unless it can be done faithfully without making the character seem 'out of place'- we don't want a silly looking Thor. Iron Man,Hulk(like in Ultimate Avengers)Wasp,Ant-Man/Goliath,Hawkeye,Black Widow(SHIELD) and please "find" Captain America frozen(stay faithful to that aspect of the comics)

New DARK KNIGHT Trailer Online - May 05, 2008 - 06:49am
Iron Man definitely kicked major arse...Dark Knight though for me is a different film- it's almost like trying to compare "the Crow" and "Spider-Man". Inherently though everyone from geek to non geek will go see the film because of loyalty to Batman and superhero films or to see Ledger's last full performance...which judging by the trailers will be amazing and will surpass Jack Nicholsons' portrayal in 1989. My opinion is 2 different directors, 2 different films, 2 different actors playing Joker.. is one better than the other? that is up to the viewer. For my money Heath nailed what I always thought the Joker should move and sound like plus he wasn't middle aged and pudgy. This new Joker is scary..Jack's Joker was humorous and playful and less threatening onscreen. Heaths' Joker gives you the feeling of a serial killer like Hannibal Lechter. Back to superhero flicks- these two rule the summer..I am not feeling 'Hulk' just yet but I will see it for the Tony Stark scene and the subtle hints at the Avengers movie.

IRON MAN - May 02, 2008 - 01:15pm
Well seems to me that the reviewer is prety much saying that "SpiderMan" 1 and 2 and "X-Men" and "X2" are "C" movies..because Iron Man outdid them all and comes realllly close to being as good as "Batman Begins". A "B"? really? this was well acted,well directed,no dull moments... I went with people who didn't even know who the hell Iron Man was and they loved this movie! Robert Downey Jr and the entire cast fully committed to making this something to be proud of and Favreau did what other directors have failed to do which is translate a comic book straight to the screen without much change from the source material. The movie made myself and everyone else eager and ready for the "Avengers" and an actor friend of mine out of New York is chomping at the bit hoping "Hawkeye" is written into the Avengers script. "B"? sure whatever you say.

Paramount Confirms CLOVERFIELD 2 - Jan 31, 2008 - 08:42am
I am in the middle with Cloverfield. It wasn't too shaky,the premise was good,love the footage,the acting was tolerable for the most part...just something was off- 1. If the second one clears up some questions then looking back at Cloverfield 1 will be different. for example: the internet footage of the monster capsizing an oil rig off japan a week before getting to NYC- then why the "Coney Island" teaser of the monster possibly landing a month earlier? 2. I wish they showed LESS monster- once I saw it full on towards the end I was disappointed. I would rather shadows and glimpses. 3. Understanding it is a fantasy movie but enhance the believabilty...a never dying camera? wounded people sprinting full speed? the ability to scale new york buildings 50+ stories high -cross over -scale down make a rescue and scale back over in WORLD RECORD speed? I was still entertained tho...hehe.

Routh Out of SUPERMAN Sequel? - Jan 04, 2008 - 07:23pm
C'mon WB give us a break...the only thing right about that movie was Routh even with the speedo size outfit. Give him a better Lois Lane and a fresh new script and you have something good. Why does Warners insist on being second best to Marvel? Is it so hard to look and learn? Well at least Nolan and Bale got it right...but Im sure after the third movie Warners will give them the boot and get Chad Michael Murray to be the next Dark Knight....jeez why do I even know that name? * Oh and not that Spider-Man 3 was fantastic or anything(could have been so much better) it really doesn't have competition if it is being compared to other SuperHero part 3s'.... you only have: Superman 3,Batman Forever and X3 unless you count made for TV movies and Spidey still wins. Kind of unfair question. If they were all on TV at the same time(diff channels) I'd probably go with Jim Carrey and the Riddler over Topher Grace and the mis-used Venom.
C'mon WB give us a break...the only thing right about that movie was Routh even with the speedo size outfit. Give him a better Lois Lane and a fresh new script and you have something good.

Another JOKER Pic Hits Wizard Mag. - Nov 30, 2007 - 09:55pm
back in '89 pretty much everyone dismissed the 'Bat-suit' and Keaton as Batman. Now in 07 after maybe 5 pics of the Joker without really knowing at what point in the film these come from- the 'fans' have decided this Joker sux. Well then Mr Nolan there you have it. Shut down the post production and throw the movie away...the 'fans' hate your Joker. yeah thats sarcaasm. At least wait for the prologue in 2 weeks...sheesh.

New Look at Ledger's JOKER - Nov 29, 2007 - 07:38pm
How is it that from one or two photos you have this Joker as the ultimate worst Joker ever? Cesar Romero was a campy joke. Nicholson while the performance was great- it was still a middle aged pudgy Joker not the lean slick clown prince. The Joker in Batman Dead End? whatever that isn't even an afterthought nor is Grayson- fan made movies with subpar acting ok lets rush right out and pay to see it for 2 hours(not) At least wait for the Imax Prologue to say this Joker is the worst. No matter what the best ever will always be the voice of Mark Hamill in Batman Animated series- hands down no question.

Raimi Wants Maguire for SPIDER-MAN 4 - Nov 29, 2007 - 02:27pm
I don't mind the 'boo hoo' if it serves the plot and the overall story but Sandman went unresolved and unexplained with the whole sick daughter thing. Then killing off(maybe-Conners had a little goo left)Venom like it was an afterthought- why even have him in then? Just get back to the formula for the first 2 films and reduce the amount of time we have to look at K Dunst jagged smile. They have teased the Lizard so go ahead with it and Kraven. JUST PLEASE GET RID OF DUNST

New Look at Ledger's JOKER - Nov 29, 2007 - 11:06am
this Joker is inspired by the Joker from the 'Killing Joke" and "the Long Halloween" and a little of artist Lee Bermejo's Joker sketches- that may not be the look of the Joker while you were growing up but then again this version of Batman and the armor isn't either so I guess you will not see this movie. I do know where you can get the complete Adam West series if you want-

Raimi Wants Maguire for SPIDER-MAN 4 - Nov 29, 2007 - 07:14am
I agree with that- this cast seems to feel they are a little too important and are forgetting that it is spider-man the character that the public goes to see not Dunst,Maguire or Franco. Replace the core- keep Aunt May,Jonah,Robbie,Betty and Gwen- bring a new Peter,MJ and Harry(or no Harry). Go with the Lizard and Kraven or finally admit that the Kingpin does exist outside of Daredevil's world and introduce him in Peter's world and pair him with Hobgoblin. Peter Parker- Milo Ventigmilia or Jake Gylenhaal Mary Jane- Bryce Dallas or the bombshell from "P2" Rachel Nichols(i think thats her last name) And NO MORE convenient plot devices like small meteors that fall unnoticed or conveniently placed Molecular science experiments.

New Look at Ledger's JOKER - Nov 27, 2007 - 10:55pm
No offense to Jack Nichnolson or fans of Burtons Joker but an overweight middle aged Joker was not appealing and Jack and Burton get all this praise for what? Because he was more interesting than Cesar Romero? This new Joker is psychotic,frightening and dangerous and he won't be dancing to Prince music. Kudos Nolan- it all looks good.

The New JUSTICE LEAGUE Cast? - Nov 19, 2007 - 07:51am
Cotrona doesn't really look latin- it just depends on what role he has got. Cain has asian blood in him(someone told me that after I mistakenly called him latin). Gale is hot- hope she can act. 2 days ago Adam Brody was Flash so whatever- both are bad choices considering Ryan Reynolds wanted to play the character. Whatever the case this quickly became not interesting. The Watchtower address is One Tree Hill rd just between Smallville Ks and Orange County Ca. who am i kidding- still going to see it.

JLA Cast Possibly Locked & Ready - Nov 14, 2007 - 06:27pm
This is such a shaky project right now- but I will say this...the two aussie actors they got for Wonder Woman and either Batman or Superman look the part(she does,he does too but he looks more like a Batman than Superman) saw the pics over at comics2film

WGA Update: Projects Like JLA in Question - Nov 11, 2007 - 07:57pm
Whew! dodged that bullet- now maybe they can rethink the JLA project and not be so hard pressed to rush it out of the gate. They have Dark Knight to dominate '08- if they would just let Nolan finish his trilogy so that Bale can be involved with JLA...wait this is shaping up to be too smart of an idea.

Rob Zombie Not Remaking C.H.U.D? - Nov 11, 2007 - 02:38pm
So if I see a crack head in harlem and I call him a crackhead then I am a bigot? Hence if you live a trashy lifestyle ie: a slutty potheaded stripper and you live in a double wide trailer then I am racist for calling it like it is- trailer park trash. So when the Blue Collar comedy boys call themselves rednecks then they are being racially insensitive? Maybe you just don't know what real racism is...walk with me and we'll take a trip down south to some towns I have had the misfortune to be driving thru- I'll show you a real bigot. As for Zombie- his movies are and always will be trailer park white trash themes just like early Spike Lee movies were 'ghetto' flicks. Talk to Rob Zombie if you have a problem with his themes not accuse everyone of bigotry for pointing out the obvious. I guess now I can't say 'yuppie' or 'geek' either.

The Shining,The Excorcist,Nightmare on Elm St,Night of the Living Dead,Halloween,Escape from New York,Kill Bill,Desperado....these are movies. Zombie is shock porn not horror...horrible yes-horror no. Please do not include his name with those creative minds- you could make a Rob Zombie movie, for that matter everyone can. It is porn and torture mixed together to try and shock you. Just rent 'Faces of Death' then, it's much better and more shocking with absolutely the same amount of plot...zero.

Considering how much passion you seem to exhibit for Rob Zombie- you are either Rob himself or Sherry Moon...because with all the great directors and filmmakers out there you choose to argue for a less than average guy whose movies have grossed under 50 million total at the the box office. Please tell me you at least get this excited for John Carpenter or hell I'll even give you Rodriguez or Tarantino to get this hot over...or you like Eli Roth and Uwe Boll too?(other pretenders)

you are right- I am a bigot when it comes to crappy rehashed movies. House of 1000 Corpses aka Zombie version of Texas Chainsaw Devil's Rejects aka Zombie version of Motel Hell/Cannibals Halloween aka Zombie version of a white trash trailer park family living in middle class america and taking a big crap on John Carpenter's head. So how about you go back to school jackass.

white trash and redneck has nothing to do with income level- but the weak southern accent,stripper mom with 3 kids,dead beat verbally abusive boyfriend,druggie slut daughter,long haired mentally challenged son with a fetish for hurting small animals is pretty much as trashy as you can get and they were all caucasian. Funny thing is I'm referencing 'Halloween' but this is pretty much 'House' and 'Devil's Rejects'. Pretty much your post is telling me you haven't seen any of these three movies.

somebody on this page may be rob zombie in disguise....hmmm who could that be. Hey we like his music or at least I like White Zombie but his remaking everything is crap. Beyond House of 1000 Corpses his movies are rehashes of the one original movie idea he had including Halloween. So pretty much he has been remaking 'House' for the last few years. And this is from a regular voice not a whiny one. He may as well remake Friday,Nightmare,Evil Dead and Prom Night.

CHUD could use a remake but not Zombie. As in every one of his films there will be a white trash family,a mom who is a stripper, a bad southern dialect within this major urban city,a daughter who is slutty and a druggie,an abusive white trash man will get eaten by a CHUD,the CHUD will be engaged in incest throughout and of course his wife will star in it and suck as usual.

Jack Nicholson Talks About Nolan's JOKER - Nov 08, 2007 - 07:38am
different movie different actors. hell different directors. Jack's Joker was great,Keaton did great- I would still sit and watch Burton's Batman and Batman Returns...but Batman Begins also kicked some major rear tail and so will Dark Knight- will Ledger be good..yes-great directing and a great co-star will see to that. As far as Jack's resume'- he is legend and the Departed was not 'half ass' In any case there is still a case to be made for Joker(Mark Hamill) from the animated series which also was spot on.

Columbus Short Rejects JLA Role - Oct 30, 2007 - 09:58pm
this has to be bull shite. This 'kid' could not have been offered the role of John Stewart former military now turned green lantern corps/JLA core member. If it is true he is either smart because the movie script stunk(but Stomp the Yard and Save the last dance 2 were Shakespeare drama apparently) or he is the biggest dumbass when the movie turns out to be a hit. But seriously what is "too much popcorn"?

Teresa Palmer Lands WONDER WOMAN Role? - Oct 26, 2007 - 07:16pm
Wow she is hot....but she isn't Wonder Woman. May as well be Jessica Biel now. Don they not want to audition Charisma Carpenter or Morena Baccarin? If they are going to go this young then go ahead and cut a deal for Tom Welling to play Supes because now this is just absurd. Especially since the way the movie opens with an already established team and no origin story then I guess we are looking at the Teen Titans...and not the JLA. Hard to believe in all of Hollywood and all the New York actors they are going to go with kids playing grown ups.

Mark Millar to Pitch SUPERMAN Sequel - Oct 23, 2007 - 04:50am
Much respect for your enthusiasm Mark but I have to ask what makes him think he has an idea of "the Superman we all want to see"? something for the kids and the 30 somethings? I doubt his ideas will be better than what Kevin Smith pitched. Once you have read that script you'll get the point.

Superman actually having a fight with someone as strong 7. Stop with the Kryptonite inconsistency- first it renders him helpless and he gets whipped by Kumar and a couple other thugs then a half hour later he benchpresses a continent of kryptonite and hurls it to space 8.I don't mind a 2 1/2 hr movie but even SpiderMan had more action with almost the same running time 9.We don't care if Lois smokes why is it always an issue? 10. Nothing else just wanted to write "10"

30 DAYS OF NIGHT - Oct 19, 2007 - 06:35pm
I saw this at a midnight showing and it is easily the halloween film to see this season..maybe the reviewer didn't like it or they were in search of something other than a fun,entertaining popcorn flick- no it isn't a deep poignant film with lots of gutwrenching emotion...it's a friggin' vampire movie and one of the best to come around in awhile- at least until "I am Legend". So enjoy it for what it is...worth the 10 bucks.

Possible Cast Choices For JUSTICE LEAGUE - Oct 15, 2007 - 03:36pm
actually to answer the previous question to myself: I am a new york based actor(mostly broadway and off broadway stage)- I also have been a comic book geek my entire life and I coerced my agent into getting me a read for ANY role. Beyond that- this is what I have been told by friends and industry people- Ryan Reynolds and Tyrese Gibson are front runners for Flash and Green Lantern, there is no Batman or Superman(not even a short list)so the pursuit of an unknown has begun. Wonder Woman is down to 5 actors none have been mentioned on any post,Maxwell Lord is cast(supposedly) but it is hushed. Justin Long and Adam Brody are considered for the same role, there is also a rumor of doing Man Hunter like Silver Surfer was done. My assumption on Long and Brody is for Arthur Curry or an a JLA member not yet mentioned. As with anything though Hollywood moves fast and anything can happen to change the entire scope of things.

Possible Cast Choices For JUSTICE LEAGUE - Oct 15, 2007 - 08:05am
Guys don't worry... the only one on that list even considered for a role as one of the JLA is Adam Brody. Although this isn't the best update: Justin Long and Tyrese are on the list of candidates for members of the JLA. Apparently there has been difficulty in casting Batman because nobody wants to step on Bale or Nolan's toes which means they are going unknown or relative unknown for that character. I have heard nothing about Superman but obviously noone on the list is in the running for that since he will be the most mature of the group aside from Batman. We are looking at a list of potentials for the supporting roles such as people working for Max Lord,Gov't agents,Star Lab people and Daily Planet stalwarts Jimmy Olsen et al..etc- Save the worry for when the ACTUAL team is announced hehe.

Michael Caine Describes Ledger's JOKER - Oct 02, 2007 - 06:45pm
I seriously think Ledger is going to blow everyone away with his 'Joker'. I am in the minority I guess but I think Nicholson's Joker was okay but nothing to revere. I have always been a fan of the more homicidal lunatic than an over the top clown prince of crime. The Killing Joke is one of my fave stories of all and that Joker is just scary and creepy and I like feeling like the Joker CAN kill anyone at anytime including Batman. Like I said though I am in the minority but I am really preferring Nolan's realistic take versus Burtons dark fantasy.

Tyrese Gibson For GREEN LANTERN in JLA? - Sep 29, 2007 - 01:52pm
I only slightly care who plays Green Lantern..simply because the movie will hinge on Superman and Batman. We are all going to see this movie no matter who plays GL. Heck just re-write history and make GL female. Obviously this movie is going the route of the popular animated series and not the comic book original JLA so just throw in Hawkgirl while they are at it. Sorry Aquaman fans- the King of the seas may be out of this flick. Maybe in a sequel...

Possible First Look at the JLA Plot - Sep 26, 2007 - 05:48pm
well whatever- this seems like a better sequel story-having a JLA member go bad and really only Superman would be the logical choice because it already happened in the Batman Beyond series. Batman always has kryptonite in case Supes goes Rogue. Have the invading Aliends or Darkseid somehow gain control of Superman and this may be decent. No matter though we are all there 12:01 am the night before

Update: Jessica Biel Out of WONDER WOMAN - Sep 24, 2007 - 11:23pm
why? Just go the route of Brandon Routh and go find someone who fits the role better...who cares if the public knows her? we all are going to see the Justice League not Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds- whats next Justin Timberlake as Aquaman?

SUPERMAN - DOOMSDAY - Sep 22, 2007 - 08:23pm
I have no idea what movie this reviewer saw but it wasn't what I bought. The Justice League Unlimited episode where Superman fought Doomsday underneath a Volcano was a better 20 minute show than this 75 minute outline. Ann Heche stunk it up as Lois and she was more irritating than Kate Bosworth. Lex Luthor was wierdly drawn and not as imposing as Lex from JLU or STAS. The better idea would have been a 2 hour condensed version of the actual comic books including the Justice League. Don't get this wrong- it was OK but not as great as the review. Worth it if you are a collector but you won't want to see it again anytime soon unlike most of the Justice League episodes which are worth seeing over and over.

New SUPERGIRL Trailer for Smallville - Sep 22, 2007 - 08:10pm
This is the one area where I don't mind the incosistency- I take a verbal beating every time I point out incosistency in Superman Returns and a host of other films and then the same people turn around and bash Smallville. It serves it's purpose and while it may be melodramatic at times and changes the mythology of Superman quite a bit- at least it is entertaining. Maybe not to all but with nothing but reality shows on tv- Smallville is worth a once a week hour of anyone's time.Years from now it will be as cult classic as Adam West's Batman and Linda Carter's Wonder Woman.

Nice! Can't wait- been a follower of the series and while sometimes I don't agree with the way the Superman mythology is interpreted this is hands down my favorite 'Superman" based show that has ever been aired. Welling is Superman and Chris Reeve agreed.

Maria Bello Knows Kung-Fu in MUMMY 3 - Sep 12, 2007 - 03:11am
they should have just made Bello O'Connells sister or cousin- not recast the part of Evelyn. Rachel Weisz created the character and despite her talent Bello just won't be the same flavor that Mummy fans are used to.

HD IRON MAN Trailer Online Now - Sep 10, 2007 - 10:32pm
Considering Swamp thing and Man thing had movies before Flash Green Lantern and Iron Man... But seriously Iron Man is one of Marvel's tops- he has had 2 cartoon series(1966 and 1994-5) and he is all of their storylines now and the animated movie was great. People will know him after the live movie...but I don't believe there is an exact pecking order. This is all a set-up for a 2 1/2 hr Avengers blockbuster. And Cap can be done- have his origin exactly the way it is but for the first 25-30 minutes of the Avengers. Marvel should do a solo Cap America after the Avengers so that then it isn't an origin story and they can use Baron Zemo or Winter Soldier anything other than Nazis and Red Skull. Definitely though the Masters of Evil should find their way into an Avengers movie.

Although I agree most don't know Tony Stark or Iron Man- he is top tier right now in Marvel and pretty much the catalyst for the storylines going right now(world war hulk,initiative,civil war aftermath etc) This movie should get the general public interested in the comics now plus there has been 2 different cartoon series on Iron Man in the past. As far as judging movies by trailers... you can tell when it will be crap. Ghost Rider looked crappy,Daredevil looked crappy and even the mighty SpiderMan 3 looked like it was too much in one movie which it was. This Iron Man looks like a good film and next year we have Batman,Hulk and Iron Man to look forward to. Now if they can just get Captain America rightand hopefully fix Fantastic Four(2nd one was better than the first but still fell short- give them someone to fight already all they ever do is 'demonstrate' their powers0

OK! Now that looks like a what a comic book movie is supposed to look like! If the rest of the movie stacks up to that footage this will be the Blockbuster Marvel Studios had been hoping for. Between this and Dark Knight - 2008 is going to be a memorable year for comic book fans! Hopefully Hulk is shaping up the same way!

HATCHET - Sep 07, 2007 - 06:44pm
Uh no. This is worse than Halloween and is maybe a baby-step better than a sci-fi network original picture. The FX were below amateurish and filmed in a way to try an disgust you- no scare or frighten or shock. Victor Crowley is pretty much Jason Voorhees relocated to New Orleans so thats an F on originality. All the characers are either poorly written or badly acted and the plot has holes the size of the Bayou. This should have been straight to DVD. Being touted as old school horror? Well Mr Adam Green maybe try renting Motel Hell or Prom Night or Maniac then do a re-write...as far as I could tell you remade Friday the 13th with a different name and still had the nerve to use Kane Hodder. I am very happy I saw this for free and with that it was still a waste of an evening. Eventually the next Alfred Hitchcock or John Carpenter will present himself and make a good scary movie but Adam Green along with Eli Roth and Rob Zombie and pretty much all the Horror genre 'directors' of today seem to be stuck in this torture porn,excess blood gross out style of film making instead of capturing the essence of what made movies like Halloween,Nightmare on Elm St,Friday the 13th,Psycho,Prom Night,Maniac,10 to Midnight,Angel etc.. we the audience don't need to see the kill! we don't need to see the buckets of blood,limbs torn off,torture porn! Whatever happened to suspense? Why can't we get more films like Disturbia? hell even Wolf Creek was better than these stinkers...

oh screw that- this is 'mania' formerly cinescape not superherohype or comics2film so NO the majority of the people here are not comic book 'geeks' who wouldn't be able to appreciate a good horror film or any film that doesn't have superheroes. Point blank the remake sucked and it bastardized a classic movie turning it into a white trash choppy senseless movie...good for all who did like it- nothing wrong with that but don't generalize everyone who didn't like the movie. And actually from what ol Zombie is saying he probably knows he pitched a turd and got away with it. Entertainment wise yes it was mildly entertaining- the version I saw is cut better than the theater and had a better ending and I can only imagine all of you who liked the theater version will definitely blow your wad on this version but it still doesn't make t worthy of being associated with John Carpenter. So we don't all agree big friggin woop that's the beauty of debate and discussion- how interesting would it be if we all agreed?

WOW! Well good for you Rob! Seriously if anybody thinks that Zombie's remake is better than the original has got to go watch the '78 film again when they are clean and sober though. If Zombie can stop making movies about white trash folk with slight twangs in their voice he may become great- House of 1000 was great- Devils Rejects was ok but c'mon Rob life exists outside of trailer parks. And I doubt ANY remake will ever top it's original and I mean remake not relaunch as I realize Punisher and Hulk obviously are superior than the first incarnations...but Freddy,Friday,Chucky,Psycho,The Birds,Halloween,Godfather,Scarface etc etc never will be done better... I like movies so I'll keep going- Blade Runner,Raiders,Jaws,ET,Karate Kid,Rocky,Stargate,Alien.....

Casting Directors Pegged for JLA Movie - Sep 03, 2007 - 07:03am
The Wonder Twins would make me not want to see this movie. I think George Miller is taking this a little more seriously than that to have those characters in even as a joke. Since I live in NYC I will cross my fingers and hope for another background/extras gig for JLA(I did extra work on I am legend). Metalwater- the way this is going you may get your wish with Nathan Fillion. How come you don't also picture him as a certain Kansas raised farm boy turned Superman? I kind of think he would fit that better.

HALLOWEEN Slashes Labor Day Record - Sep 02, 2007 - 09:13pm
Well I guess seeing 'Balls" for free still gives me a leg to stand on when I say this: Zombie's version isn't bad- if the name of the killer was something else this movie would go down as one of the best slasher flicks but unfortunately it is Michael Myers and what made Michael so great a character(so great it was ripped off for every slasher film after) is that it was a boy from a well off family,seemingly normal and he snaps and stabs his sister to death leading to not speaking and snapping again after he turns 21. The original left you thinking and using your imagination to fill in the spaces where you didn't get to see reasons why. But this version- well who wouldn't snap with a whore stripper for a mom,a dead beat step dad who verbally and physically abuses Michael,classmates who batter him with abuse,a slut foul mouthed sister....and somehow this family of white trash is nestled in a suburban neighborhood in Haddonfield Illinois. The magic of the original was everything Carpenter didn't give you..this version gave you everything and left nothing to human imagination. and yes King of Kong is a must see.

Yes re-imagining is a good word for what is not a good remake of Halloween. Everything that was right and perfect about the story,the set-up and the character of Michael Myers was thrown out the window and given the Rob Zombie trailer park white trash treatment and somehow this family lived in a good neighborhood with typical middle class americans. His earlier movies are great in their own way but he strayed too far from the source material for this. Balls of Fury was 'ok' not as bad as 'HotRod' but light years away from being the next DodgeBall or any Apatow project. Death Sentence was doomed as soon as they decided that 'Death Sentence' would be the title. Just remake 'Death Wish' without insulting a movie lover's intelligence with poor rip-offs...oh wait Jodie Foster's rip-off has yet to open(rip off on I spit on your grave)

Tyler Mane Looking For THOR - Aug 30, 2007 - 06:27am
I know someone said British lilt- but to clarify what I meant when I said he will need a lilt- he will a non-american clear pattern of speech. I believe I said he would need a dialect coach for something norse/asgardian. Unfortunately Marvel will probably be fine with the same style of speech from the animated incarnations of Thor which were along the lines of classical shakespearean speech.

Tyler Mane Looking For THOR - Aug 29, 2007 - 06:01pm
I don't know what the script is about or if there is a Donald Blake- which then they may have to go the Hulk route or get 2 actors. I have never heard Tyler Mane say anything and Thor's voice is important. If Josh Holloway could get a little bigger(muscle) and worked on some type of lilt and norse asgardian dialect(where he would get a coach for that i have no idea)- he could do it. Moeller can't act- not well enough to carry this film. Triple H from WWE would be a better choice than Moeller. They may have to pull a Singer and go find an unknown...then cast a really good Odin and Loki.

I might take this with a grain of salt. Full police procession- that character maybe would have most of the wayne corp employees at the funeral but the entire police force? Oh and Bale already said no Robin. Of course it is WB and they write the checks so if they say Robin well there isn't much Bale can do since he is already signed for the 3rd film. Damn Morgan lasted 2 movies? Wow Billy Dee Williams only lasted one then they gave the character to someone else.

What did Singer Pitch For SUPERMAN Sequel? - Aug 28, 2007 - 04:35am
The thing is- as a huge Superman fan, it had been so long since he was on the big screen and as a comic book fan you sit and wonder how Daredevil and Elektra are getting made and not an updated Superman- then when Batman Begins came out and I watched it that opening night- there was a feeling of 'finally' they got a character right in DC. Then they got Singer and I thought 'nice- Usual suspects was brilliant and I like Xmen and X2 despite really was just costume issues that bothered me and some characters left out...little shit but X2 was fantastic. Then with Spiderman and Spiderman 2 it was proven that using the source materiel could work and it didn't look cheesy all the bright colors and the new Spidey costume. So you get high hopes and you go to see 'Returns' and....ok. It was okay- initial reaction was "wow" but then you see it a few more times and me personally I think I have the Christopher Reeve movies memorized so the inconsistency sticks out more than the regular movie goer. My girlfriend hates superhero movies but she loved Superman Returns and she cried at the end. So it's just a feeling like "god I hope you are setting me up for the sequel because I feel like I already saw this plot" and honestly I think Singer will pay attention to fanboy crticism- the movie as is ranks right up there with X2,Spidey 2 and Batman Begins...just a half step or so behind. Being that Supes has always my favorite character I wanted the movie to surpass those others. I was even hoping for a little teaser or something like at the end of 'Begins" with the Joker card. Its the fan in me- I want my favorite to be the best and it fell a little short.

What did Singer Pitch For SUPERMAN Sequel? - Aug 27, 2007 - 11:21pm
For all the 'Returns' fans- what did you like? Everyone comes on here saying they liked the movie but don't ever say what they liked... I liked the visuals,the score,the airplane rescue and the sequence with the machine gun,I did feel moved at the end with the possible death and the speech to his son. Great now someone tell me what they liked that differs from what I liked and at the same time justify the lack of continuity between what was supposed to be the 3rd movie behind 1 and 2. Just don't say you like it- what did you like? the acting? the characters?

What did Singer Pitch For SUPERMAN Sequel? - Aug 27, 2007 - 10:22pm
*had to add this for my brother who reads this. He is always arguing that Singer was making a more real Superman with real problems- more humanistic approach...so I'll answer that- 1.Nowhere on Earth does a murderer who helped 3 super-powered villains try to take ove the planet get off on parole after 5 years let alone just because one man didn't show up to the hearing. 2. No woman on earth isn't going to ask "when did I f**k you?" to Superman's face 3. It is virtually impossible that somehow Lois still doesn't know what happened in part 2 with Zod destroying half of metropolis 4. Lex was rich in the original movie- what purpose did it serve to bang an old woman and then steal her money? 5. Is it morally correct to stalk Lois? 6. Superman heards sirens and gunshots from practically miles above the earth but didn't hear the museum robbery with the convenient block of kryptonite? 7. Where on earth can you fire a missile launcher and not have some type of military response? 8. Why have a fortress of solitude if it is the easiest thing to get to and has no security whatsoever? 9. If the baby Kal-El took five years to get to earth how did Superman do the round trip in 5? that's on the S.A.T.'s by the way and the 10th real thing Singer forgot- What was Lex going to do with a continent of Kryptonite? guess they forgot that whole thing about extended exposure to kryptonite having ill effects on humans. I DON"T KNOW- call me picky I guess...I didn't know this was supposed to be the 'real' take on Superman. There you go my darling brother!

For the 'Returns" fans who bashed me- I don't hate the movie,it was visually spectacular and I saw it a few times and I own the dvd. I don't like Singer calling this and homage AND a sequel when it is neither. Now if Doomsday is dumbing down the mythos of Superman then what is a love-child? someone please give me the issue number where Superman has a wheezing,snot nosed kid that he doesn't know about. Yeah I like Lex Luthor but it gets old with the real estate scams and always conveniently having Kryptonite...have Lex make himself a battle suit or create Metallo or Parasite but c'mon the storyline was interesting and done better in 1978- for 2006 he could have been more creative with Lex as a character. The funny thing is this movie easily should have 300 million but what killed it was word of mouth after the opening-which means if you really liked the movie and had not one complaint then you are in a small minority of fans. They-meaning Singer- polish up that same script-plug in the holes and connect it correctly to the first two movies-there would not be a complaint anywhere. I didn't dislike the love child storyline but damn at least explain it,at least assume that people have seen part 2. Just don't throw a child into the Superman universe and turn away- hell there was a point where it looked like Superman didn't even remember sleeping with Lois. That was the 2nd biggest plotline of the entire movie and it goes unexplained. The other stuff is little and Singer can get away with it...yeah we can accept Lex and the parole thing,the short round-trip to Krypton,the speed of which Lois would have had to give up the panties for her to think it was Richard's kid and of course Superman suddenly being able to bench press a continent of kryptonite....and you merin think the Doomsday story was gimmick? really? but you defend this movie which for all the technological advancement in cinema- this movie is inferior to the original 1978 movie. OK well I guess we all have our own convictions.

Hey Singer I almost forgot- go watch the last episode of JLU and do us a favor and use the fight sequence between Superman and Darkseid- even if it is a different villain use the sequence! and steal the dialogue: "My whole life I have felt like I live in a cardboard box never able to really cut loose but you can take it can't you big boy? Now I'm going to show you just how powerful I am.."(I paraphrased but you get it) Big mega punch- villain flies/crashes thru three or four buildings...Superman speed flies to where the villain is going to be and decks him huge one more time...BOOM down towards earth-massive crater massive butt-kicking. No more kryptonite shiv's to the kidneys so a bunch of losers can kick him around- Smallville has better fights between Lex and Clark(the episode where Lex had the ring with the kryptonite was alot more interesting than a prison shiv to the back)

Just for you Mr Singer- I will help you out of the corner you painted: 1. Stop with Lex Luthor already and move on to another villain- choose Brainiac or Darkseid...Superman is practically a god-give him someone to square off with. If you go with Zod then you are back where you were with the Lois thing and the continuity of films. 2. You want drama? the kid has to be sacrificed- sorry it sounds cruel but you can't have Superboy running around coughing and wheezing his way thru this trilogy. 3. Set up plotpoints for Doomsday in the third movie- normally I would say just do the death of Superman storyline now but you have to tie up the strings with the kid and the love triangle between Richard,Lois and Superman. 4. Blow some sh*t up! Jeez- aside from the airplane rescue the movie was tame. 5. Recast Lois- either Kate Bosworth just didn't feel like researching the character as written in the books or she just can't act. Lois is headstrong,fierce,ballsy,smoking,drinking,hot dog eating little scamp of a woman who always has her nose where it don't belong. Teri Hatcher was miles ahead of Kate Bosworth. Finally- Stop with the Kryptonite 'deaux ex machina'- have him get a beatdown the oldfashioned way- it worked in the cartoon and in the books! Every film seems to focus on Kryptonite- Darkseid can kick his ass without it so let him.

Warner Bros Has SUPERMAN Cast in JLA Movie? - Aug 27, 2007 - 12:50am
Let me see..ok I'll answer Kid Yeoman first: why does it matter when Lois slept with Superman? Maybe because that damn love child was kind of the biggest plot point in Superman Returns. Now if the movie is a sequel then it kind of has to be addressed that Superman erased her memory in part 2. Maybe for you it doesn't matter but a woman not remembering who fathered her child is a big deal and it leaves the story inconsistent with the rest of the series. Sorry if that is too much attention to detail for you or Singer. Now George Miller has already been talked to and its been reported here and at other sites the team that will be onscreen and the basic plot hasn't changed:Global threat brings them together. Where it gets vague and unclear is which Green Lantern and what threat- super villains or alien invasion. Now alot of us are 'purists' and want Hal Jordan but with no Manhunter announced as a character then it probably isn't going to be the same exact founding team ala 'Secret Origins' and Justice League the cartoon. I think they will go with John Stewart because of his popularity not because he is black..he is just more interesting than Hal especially considering target audience and age groups. Marvel on the other hand like to change race of characters to try and be more diversified which is why Kingpin,Nick Fury and Alicia Masters were probably changed in race. As far as Flash- Ryan Reynolds has slipped and said Barry Allen and then covered with Wally West...the smallville kid is Bart Allen the third Flash or fourth if you count Garrick. So that is easily fixed with Welling being Superman if they are going with Barry or Wally. Fingers crossed that this doesn't end up an extension of Smallville...I like the Justice League episode but those guys and those outfits just wouldn't be interesting for 2 hours on the big screen. Welling is 30 and is made up for the show to look younger- the make up team will be able to give us a mature Superman if we are willing to forget Smallville...but this is what started the discussion when JLA was first announced: cast unknowns so the fans can enjoy the story and fx without prior reservations. So while I think Reynolds and Welling are good choices- we already have Smallville and Blade Trinity on the back of the mind...maybe I don't know. I'd rather have unknowns....

This is serious talk? Nick Cannon as Static Shock? One- Nick Cannon can't act his way out of a wet paper bag two- Someone please let us JLA fans know when Static Shock founded the JLA? He is a KidsWB character and this movie has already been reported as having Superman,Batman,Wonder Woman,Aquaman,Green Lantern and Flash. I have seen crazy things happen in Hollywood but Nick Cannon and Static Shock will not be in this movie or any subsequent sequel. The Static character is a joke and should never have been written into the JLU stories. PLUS with the plethora of DC universe characters who actually believes Static Shock will be in this movie before J'onn J'onnz,Hawk girl,Atom or Green Arrow- hell Black Canary and Vixen would be in this movie before they(DC/Warner/George Miller)even consider Static. and then to choose Nick Cannon? I'd rather they get that kid from 'High School Musical' at least he can somewhat act.

While those are crazy plotlines and devices it still doesn't excuse the huge potholes in consistency with the first 2 Superman movies...if it was a remake then remake the original but this was a sequel to the first 2 films and while I enjoyed it a total of six times in the theater and IMAX- it still screams Singer when I think of the costume and that belt,the haircurl,Lois Lane's casting and her acting,the lack of dialogue between Supes and Lois that justifies this love-child without even a question as to when they ever had sex...that is huge- it ended part 2, he erased her memory but not everybody's memory. So nobody told her about Zod in 5 years,she doesn't question when she slept with Supes,Lex on parole because Superman wasn't at the hearing?,10 years for the round-trip to where Krypton was not five and I still question the fact that Superman was mortal in his genes and DNA when he slept with her as per 'the chamber' so this kid technically should not be 'super' but scientifically we can let that slip. If in the next film Kat Bosworth screams "When did I f**K you?" then I will excuse Singer and every other hole in the script. Or if Singer and company admit they paid homage to the original but completely forgot the sequel. Didn't anybody find it wierd that nobody could recall Zod,nobody told Lois about Zod when she wrote her stupid article and she isn't even going to ask the how and when of sex with Superman?

So out of all the possible actors in the world to play this complex multi-faceted character such as BATMAN...your choice is Nathan Fillion? hands down-no question about it? So not David Boreanez,Clive Owen,Daniel Craig,Gerard Butler,Paul Walker,Dwayne Johnson,Hugh Jackman....nobody but Nathan Fillion? I only ask because that is such an obscure choice for such a huge character and he hasn't had any role even close to this in magnatude- now granted casting directors can be tough but in the last ten years his biggest achievment is "Serenity" and yeah he was badass in the role but Batman? I don't really think Bale is doing the greatest job with Batman but really? over everybody/actor on earth you choose Fillion? I compliment you for your conviction and passion- if it happens I will watch him be Batman with no reserve for judgement. I still think the better Batman is in the guy who plays Nathan Petrelli on Heroes or Clive Owen. then maybe Daniel Craig. Stick to your guns- he may get a shot at it.

You can't be serious about Nathan Fillion? you have to be trying to pull our leg... His body of work includes Firefly and Two Guys,a girl and a pizza place...in Firefly the only person who has a reasonable shot at JLA is Morena Baccarin and from Two Guys is Ryan Reynolds- and that is as close to JLA as Nathan is going to get. He isn't bad-he just isn't Batman. He could play Vigilante maybe even Shining Knight- hell I'll even give him Atom Smasher but not Batman. That would be taking a step backwards with Batman- Bale has been the best so far and that isn't saying much considering he just had to be better than Adam West,Michael Keaton,Val Kilmer and George Clooney. The day we get a real Batman is the day they find an actor willing to give in to the source material. Batman:Year One,Hush,The Long Halloween,The Killing Joke...the closest in my opinion was the Sandy Collara short film: Batman Dead End- costume was right,cape was fantastic,cowl was perfect and he moved like Batman,fought like Batman and he didn't need rubber muscles or crazy armor just the good ol fashioned classic black and grey Batman.

Their source should be a Darkseid invasion not just general aliens because then it just screams unoriginality(see Ultimate Avengers) Spider-Man 1 and 2 seemed to easily translate comic book material into Big Screen success(I won't start on spidey 3-more holes in that script than Superman Returns) X2- almost got the X-Men right but fell flat in giving the fans the team we always liked and could relate to: Cyclops,Jean Grey,Beast,Iceman,Angel or Cyclops,Storm,Jean Grey,Wolverine,Nightcrawler,Colossus and Kitty- for some reason AGAIN Bryan Singer loves to alter already established material. So you end up with no Beast until 3, Colossus gets a scene in 2,Storm is a joke when she is practically a goddess,Cyclops is a punk instead of a natural leader, Angel is a waste of time in 3, Iceman doesn't 'ice' up until he gets pissed and somehow teen Kitty arrives in 3 and defeats one of the toughest villains in X-Men history Juggernaut. Singer scores with Nightcrawler then the character is gone, Jubilee is an afterthought...and great stories like Hellfire Club and Dark Phoenix are afterthoughts. Now with JLA- DC and Warner has a chance to set the bar and catch up to Marvel. Aquaman as a stand alone movie or Wonder Woman or Flash or Green Lantern would be interesting for a minute but they aren't Batman and Superman so JLA is the way to go and with a script taken from the source material not the re-invention of a hack like Singer(yeah I said it-Nolan,Smith,Favreau do this better)- We fans could get a 2 1/2 hour movie that blows Transformers and Spider-Man and anything else out of the water! It won't be casting that kills this it will be script and direction. So Warner Bros- if you have a kick butt script and if George Miller is the man then pretty much this will hit and force Avengers to come to the screen quicker than any Thor movie. No way after all those great scripts of Justice League and JLU and with the books themselves that they end up with a terrible story especially if Singer is not involved.

Brandon Routh didn't do any acting in SR- that is my complaint. Either he or Singer or both- sat down and watched the original Superman and then he did his best impersonation of Chris Reeve...well yay for him but that isn't acting that is mimicking. At least Welling has created a little something with being the teen Kent- you want to see a really bad Superboy go rent the season dvd's of the Salkind Superboy show from the late 80's. Welling and Rosenbaum have become believable solid versions of Clark and Lex. AND I'll give Welling this much credit- he was different in his two "Cheaper" movies and "the Fog" than he is on tv. Keanu Reeves gives you the same no matter what the role. Welling was a better Superman in Smallville's first season than Routh will ever be. And Welling already is better than Dean Cain imo. Yes I would love Gerard Butler to play Batman or Aquaman and Josh Holloway should get a shot at Aquaman also. NOO Jessica Biel- why is she getting play to be Wonder Woman? Charisma Carpenter or Morena Baccarin- Biel may make a good Hawkgirl if they have that character in the film but Princess Diana? uh-uh
Brandon Routh didn't do any acting in SR- that is my complaint. Either he or Singer or both- sat down and watched the original Superman and then he did his best impersonation of Chris Reeve...well yay for him but that isn't acting that is mimicking. At least Welling has created a little something with being the teen Kent- you want to see a really bad Superboy go rent the season dvd's of the Salkind Superboy show from the late 80's. Welling and Rosenbaum have become believable solid versions of Clark and Lex. AND I'll give Welling this much credit- he was different in his two "Cheaper" movies and "the Fog" than he is on tv.

My apologies to Dean- the tan threw me. Yet people loved the asian guy as Supes! I'm not getting the obsession with Nathan Fillion- as Batman? I would prefer Clive Owen or David Boreanez. Aside from having eye candy in the movie..what makes Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba the best choices for Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl? Alba is not even convincing as Sue Storm and Biel is not Wonder Woman when Charisma and Morena are still available...Carpenter and Baccarin in case know one knows who I refer to. NO JOHN STEWART- has to be Hal Jordan! maybe Fillion can play Hal Jordan? nah James Marsden or Jim Caviezel. DARKSEID-Michael Clarke Duncan! I still say great for Welling- he deserves to be the big screen Superman and Singer needs to be replaced before 'Man of Steel' All the wealth of stories and information on Superman and he hatches a love child and story full of potholes...I still wish they had just used Kevin Smith's script!

I respect anyone's opinion- if someone liked Superman Returns so be it...if they Routh was a good Supes so be it. I being a HUGE Superman fan found too many holes in the story and the costume just wasn't right(the 's' on the belt and the very small red panties) and the hair curl signature of Superman was never explained why it was reversed(supposed to be an 's' shape)... 1. Lois Lane isn't even going to ask Superman "When did we have sex?" she is supposed to have had her memory erased at the end of II. 2. Superman left for 5 years- so lois Lane while in love with Superman immediately hooked up with White and just assumed that the kid was his? 3. Lex Luthor nearly destroys the world and because one person doesn't show up to his hearing he goes free? 4. Nobody in the film remembers the Zod incidennt? 5. It took 5 years for the baby Superman to get to earth from Krypton so the round trip should have taken 10 years... 6. Kate Bosworth is the worst Lois ever even worse than Erica Durance- Durance should have been Lois in the movie. 7. If the every fan could accept Dean Cain as Superman- the very latin looking Dean Cain then why was it necessary to get a Reeve look a like? 8. Superman gets anywhere near Kryptonite and he is no good- one small piece around his neck almost drowned him...so in this film he could bench press a continent of Kryptonite and hurl it to space? 9. Clark apparently went to Africa for 5 years? 10. Jimmy Olsen is still a punk kid photographer after 5 years? * If it is a remake of the original then remake the original- if it is supposed to happen right after part II then this is a failed attempt either way for the simple fact that now Singer is painted into a corner with the whole super-boy angle...what possessed him to add a love-child? the actor who pllays Nathan Petrelli is bigger than Mchael Keaton so size isn't an issue if it is though then get David Boreanez to play Batman.

If it turns out to be Welling then great. Please no more nathan fillion for batman talk...he isn't right for the part. nathan petrelli from 'heroes' now that actor could play a more believable batman to welling's superman. I hope this isn't an extension of the smallville universe because cyborg for me is more of a teen titan and green arrow didn't form the JLA. Just don't use the actor who plays aquaman on smallville- too stiff and one note. the king of atlantis deserves better. Now Routh will see how an actor plays Superman not an actor imitating the actor who played Superman. ..and not even a good imitation.

Nathan Fillion would be better as an older Superman but not Batman. Ryan Reynolds can do Flash but I still would go with Rosenbaum and Lamarr to reprise their JLU roles as Flash and Green Lantern.. Charisma or Morena for Wonder Woman- for Batman- the actor who plays Nathan Petrelli on 'Heroes' and give Aquaman to the guy from Lost- Sawyer. Timothy Olyphant for Joker and Julian McMahon as Lex Luthor, Michael Clarke Duncan for Grod,Cliff Rivera for Sinestro, Zachary Quinto for Shade,Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow and Cristina Ricci as Killer Frost.

Wonder Woman: Charisma or Morena Flash(Barry Allen) Ryan Reynolds(could also play Aquaman) Batman: David Boreanez Superman: Tom Welling Green Lantern: (Stewart) Phil Lamarr or the guy from the first 'Resident Evil'(sorry don't know his name) if it's Hal Jordan: Josh Duhamel Aquaman: Gerard Butler(THIS IS ATLANTIS!) Lex Luthor: Michael Rosenbaum Joker: Alan Cumming Grod: Michael Clarke Duncan- would he do it? Grundy: Ralph Moeller(kidding) Tyler Mane Sinestro: Clifford Rivera (new york theater actor/soap actor-dead on resemblance-recently did 'Jaguar King' off broadway) Shade: ??? Darkseid:??? I still say go the route of Superman Retturns and cast unknowns so that we as fans get to enjoy the heroes and villains and not associate them with other things like Van Wilder or Serenity or Bones Who the hell was Routh before Superman? and we still bought it and him as Superman.

I made the comment that Wonder Woman is a little harder role to cast- because the actress has to be 6ft or 6'1,athletic build AND a decent enough actress so that we aren't having Megan Fox or Halle Berry or Jennifer Garner issues- hot as hell but just not right for this part. Although Megan Fox didn't have much to do- I only mention her because someone posted that she could play WW- which is funny really funny. Maybe Lucy Lawless- she is still attractive and has the build. It doesn't have to be a 20something. As for Batman- give me the outfit from 'Dead End' and give Supes his outfit from the Reeve movies- just mold them and shape them like the Flash costume from the tv series,that was a decent costume. JUST HOPE THEY DON"T FOLLOW THE LEAD OF THAT TERRIBLE JLA television pilot which had a fat flash, an effeminate Green Lantern and a way too geeky Atom- not to mention Manhunter(fat and pompous). Warner's goes any faster on this project and it will end up making the Avengers look even better(Marvel learns from some mistakes not all-ie Hulk,X3,Ghost Rider,Daredevil,Spidey 3)

actually the Nathan Fillion was a joke...someone yesterday posted that he was their choice and that kind of confused me because he isn't Batman- as for the David B choice...I would rather the actor who played Nathan Petrelli on Heroes and Tom Welling play Superman. Wonder Woman is the hard choice because she has to be hot and a good actress and unfortunately that is scarce...at least in terms of a good actress iwho is 6'1,buff with dark hair and a great rack.

Remember this is FOX talking not really Marvel Studios Fox has Daredevil and can do whatever they want and apparently they want to go the route of reboot in the tone of Dark Knight. There won't be cameos of Fury or Stark- Fox has a few of Marvel's characters like X-Men,Wolvie,Fantastic Four. Just move ahead with the story and don't repeat the origin and I'll watch it. The director's cut was much better than the theatrical version.
