Top Maniacal Rumors: Riddler's Clues, Super Millar and Abe Frankenstein

Rodriquez is such a talented director. Why does he keep picking this stupid shit as his next movie? Barbarella and Red Sonja...what did these two films make combined the first time around, about 40 bucks or so?

I don't think whoever plays Frankenstein is a big deal. Besides, Del Toro is going to be so busy for the next 4 years and a lot can change.

Supes needs some kind of boost...Millar wouldn't be a bad option.

I don't care who the villain is in the next Batman movie as long as Nolan and Bale do it.

It seems like your true and false is still speculation on a lot of these. Maybe you should have an unconfirmed or confirmed column. True and False seems too final.

I guess this is a nice wrap up of the week though.

I commented on all these stories so much during the week, I really don`t have anything left to say now.
Hobbs is right about Rodriquez though. He is one of my cinematic hero's after reading "Rebel without a Crew" but he seems to really want to stay in the 70`s for awhile. He needs to get going with Sin City 2 and maybe do a western. I can really see him make a really kick ass western.

Snooze....

Yeah, he could do a good western, clint eastwood style I'd say.

First off, happy independence day to all you US folk. It's a cold winters day here. brrr



I think the Riddler would definitely make a good villain for Nolan's 3rd batman, especially if he does focus on Batman being the world's greatest detective and it being a more cerebral Batman than action focused. Bale would do so well with that.



A new superman movie could do worse than having Mark Millar write it. It could have Gough and Millar writing it (makes spew noises, lamenting Smallville's decline into mediocrity and downright character destruction.)



I really couldn't watch too much of Charmed with Rose in it, not enough nudity for my liking for a mostly female show and laughable storylines. However, Rodriguez deserves the benefit of the doubt. He is an action maestro.



Anyone can play Frankenstein, it doesn't have to be Boris Karloff anymore.



I actually would like to see Robin in a Batman sequel. If it goes onto a dark Nightwing type storyline. I can understand Bale's reluctance though as it would dilute his story.

Batman is at his best when he is fighting villains mano e mano. There is no need for Robin, not that I don't like Robin, he is fine for the comics and even in Timm/ Dini cartoons where they had time to develop his character piece by piece. However my favorite Bat stories are still when he is fighting solo. Those stories are darker and tend show off what makes Batman as awesome as he is.

As for the Superman deal, I am all for Mark Millar writing the movie. I think he could make a better movie than Singer. As bad as Superman Returns was, we need a new direction. In my opinion it is foolish for DC and WB not to let a Marvel writer help them out. Um didn't Wanted just make a lot of money and aren't people saying it is going to end up being the surprise hit of the summer? And correct me if I am wrong, but how many huge hits outside of Batman Begins and DK (forgone conclusion) has DC had at the movie theater lately? How about none? And how many people hated SR? Just a few. So doesn't it stand to reason that the creative team behind SR should be jettisoned so that someone else could give DC a shot at a better movie? I think so. I have always been a comic fan I like DC and Marvel although I have always been more of DC guy because of Supes, Bats, and GL. It just makes no sense that DC would drag their feet on this when they know Millar could probably turn in some good stuff.

I think the boy wonder would call for spandex and I think thats a bit..... yeah.

I concur..NO Robin!!

Second...Superman sequel should be written and directed by Bruce Timm!
Give him an adversary who is his equal..Darkseid!!, and re-cast Superman..Mike O'Hearn!
More Action!!

I think the Riddler comment was taken out of context. Two Face and Riddler were already in a movie together (Batman Forever) and Nolan has already proven he can bring something new and different to the franchise. I don't think that Oldman's comment was anything more then to let it be known there are options.

Personally I would like to see the Mad Hatter or bring back Catwoman or Poison Ivy... Switch it up some.
