I'll admit it, I'm a marvel guy. But I tried a bunch of the new 52 thinking maybe I can jump in. I tried AC and Superman, DC and Batman, JLA, Green Lantern, and Green Lantern Corps. I am now down to just the JLA and the 2 green lantern books, both of which I find to be great fun.


Anyways, back to the topic of the Tread. Latest trailer, paused it just at the 1:17 mark. Screen shot of Tealc! Ok, Christopher Judge to be exact, but I love it!

A silly question, are there weather changes in The Dark Knight films? Is there a point when Bale has a monty fight in the rain? Or in any Superhero films?

Pretty sure it rained in Spider-Man. :)

Very true.

Rained a bit in Daredevil as well, but that was somewhat plot related.

Thinking about it, isn't there a rainy scene in Batman Begins too? I'm pretty sure that the scene where Batman gets ambushed by the Scarecrow in that apartment and has to call Alfred to take him back to Wayne Manor takes place in the rain.

Typical. He's trying to have his cake and eat it.

Yes, but there were a couple of good reasons for that.

"ALFRED. COME GET ME" in the bat-voice is the highlight of any Batman film for me, just never gets old.

Two very good (and quite pointy in that picture) reasons.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you and David are getting at with your subtle innuendo.

Are they talking about the bat ears on his helmet?

Those don't really motivate me all that much.

Honestly, though, if the Batman didn't tell people he was trying to look like a bat would they really assume it? I mean, Dark Demon Man would be my first impression.

Dark Demon man indeed!
I’ve got to agree with what most people have said, the trailers aren’t really doing that much for me… With the Dark Knight I couldn’t hold myself back and just had to see it! But that was probably the Joker effect. However I remember when I saw the Avengers trailer, that didn’t do a lot for me either, and look how the movie turned out

Sorry to go back off-topic, but in regards to Green Lantern: 1: the movie sucked big time, 2: I think the character and his universe has a lot of potential. I read Johns/Reis/Albert’s Secret Origin (took my Green Lantern virginity) and was instantly hooked on everything Green Lantern. Since then however, good Green Lantern books have been far between!

He's not just 'rising', it looks as if The Dark Knight Returns is getting re-animated as well...

A couple of years ago I would have said that's the best way to make a movie of DKR. But that was before all of DC's other godawful animations came out. Seriously, if they succeeded in f***ing up Year One - and they certainly did that - then they can f*** up DKR as well.

At the risk of being controversial, I tend to think it couldn't be worse than Miller's own subsequent The Dark Knight Strikes Back in print...

Yeah, but at least that was entertainingly crazy. Also, it has as many fans as detractors.

This would be another case of DC detracting from a great work though, like the Watchmen movie. Nobody sets out to make a bad product, of course - it's just with DC they always seem to end up that way.

Robocop voicing Batman? Hells yeah!











(or at least it would be "Hells yeah!" if, as stated above, DC animated movies didn't suck.)
