Link Ink: 'Ninja Turtles' Movie Delayed, Marvel Rides at Disney and Librarian Adventures

This situation with TMNT seems like that of Dragon Ball. Fox had the rights for years and they hadn't done anything about. But when time was running out, that's the time they come up with a film version in a rush. So what'd we get?
Paramount let Michael Bay announce their plans to make a Ninja Turtles movie even though they have no solid script. It seems like a statement to other outfits. " We have the TMNT rights first! Nobody touches it but us! "

4 princes from an extraterrestrial world and their mentor/guardian escape a war torn planet about to be subjugated by an unknown warlike Empire. They are pursued along their trajectory through the Milky Way galaxy, by one of the subjugators generals and their Foot soldiers. The vessel that the 5 refugees are aboard is damaged and life support is failing. Using technology from their world the refugees code their minds/personalities on nanomachines that reside in a green semi solid lattice. The refugees vessel crash on the planet earth near the city of New York on Breezy Point, Rockaway Queens. The system searching for lifeforms for the encoded minds of the 5 passengers happens upon a group of turtles.

The 4 princes lattices merge with 4 of the turtles on the beach as they made their way to the ocean but circumstances prevent any of the other to be used for their teacher. His nanomachine lattice is left to search for another host and has to settle for a rat scavenging for food near the beach. Those 5 animals are mutated into humanoid forms with the minds of the refugees mostly intact. As the story continues these strange travellers to our shores grow to love this planet and the vast ocean that surrounds all of its land mass. Cowabunga!!

P.S. Catwoman is the new Robin/Nightwing. TDKR

I'm honestly getting a little unsettled about TDKR. The Dark Knight often seemed to be an apologia for Bush-era policies (though as Sims and Uzumeri made clear, it's pretty ambiguous on that point) and it's starting to seem like the villains of the new movie might be, metaphorically speaking, the Occupy movement. Certainly it's looking more and more like some kind of "rabble rises up" plot line, and since Bane seems to be leading them, Nolan seems to be taking an unsympathetic view. But then, on the other hand, maybe it's the Tea Party? Oh, Nolan, always wanting to have your political cake and eat it too.

I kinda forgot the TMNT stage show was an actual thing that other people have seen. My memory of it is blurry at best.

Apparently the Turtles movie was delayed because the script required a bigger budget for the film than the producer's wanted. The changes will likely be made to keep the budget down.
