Comics Alliance: An AOL Comic Book Community

1. I've seen a lil bit of it on tv and i deffinately think that if they stay true to the comics and make the CGI and shit top of the line that movie could make some serious cake in 08.

2. In response to your poll, aren't we all a little tired of Batman (O.K., he's still cool but let's see some of those superhero's we've never seen. (Where's the Justice movie? Remember him from the New Universe? Or the Strikeforce: Morituri Movie? Anyone remember that one?) There are plenty of superhero's who deserve a chance instead of just re-inventing the same ones over and over.

4. Umm... I'm excited for the movie but not thrilled for Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark... I mean... yeah he's not the babyface we expect for our superheroes but he's also got too many drug issues in the background that pretty much killed every project he's touched. And I fear that this may get the same, although I could be surprised either way.

DareDevil has always been my favorite hero and then we get the movie and it's like ugh...cool suit, pussy Devil. And now we've got my sec fave hero Iron Man coming to the screen, i'm not a fan of Robby's acting either so I think the performance will probably destroy this.

There's a danger with the CGI for the superhero movie (ie Spider-Man 2, DareDevil)but CGI, if handled correctly (ie Transformers) can work some magic for these movies.

And as for the complaints about reinventing the same heroes over and over...do you really want anybody touching some things that are so classic? I mean, Joel Schumacher would do any superhero movie if he were allowed to put nipples on the suits...
But seriously, some superheroes are so ludicrous and outrageous and laughable that they would never transmit well to screen. Remember the Power Rangers movie? Or how about Underdog? And then we have the upcoming Ant Man...seriously, people, either reinvent the shit we got, remake the asian movies, or get some new material and leave the superheroes and video games alone!

6. the dark knight is going to be phenomenal, no questions asked. Iron Man looks pretty good, but I'll be pleased with anything as long as it's not as bad as spider-man 3 was.
