Yeah, that has a lot to do when their origin stories came about. DC's came about from the 30s and 40s, and changed relatively little, and Marvel's during the more tumultuous 60s. Stan Lee's real genius was in recognizing that his heroes had to interact and be a part of the real world with real world problems. Even…

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing: Green Lantern was such an abomination and clearly made by people who had zero feeling for comic books, that it really set back any buildup to JLA back a decade. Now, they'd have to try and reboot GL (not impossible, since Marvel faced the same issue with Hulk), and then go…

Between the medical scenes and the possessed girl in bed, this looks like a Jewish "Exorcist".

Nice. That actually looks more interesting than the version coming out Friday.

I liked IV when it first came out, but I tried watching it again recently: doesn't hold up at all.

I actually thought V was one of the better Star Trek movies (with II being the gold standard). And Nimoy being so petulant doesn't jibe with his reputation as being a genuine gentleman. Then again, it's perfectly in keeping with every actor I've ever met.

Dude, that would make it classic.

I was getting really excited for this, due to the excellent trailers, but I stopped watching these clips because each one made me less enthusiastic. Seriously, the hokey dialogue could be a dealbreaker.

Probably because Obama couldn't believe people were actually that fucking stupid to think that he would be able to form a conspiracy going back to the date of his birth to fake presidential eligibility. in the end, Obama gives this country way too much credit.

People need to chill out on his voice. I'm willing to bet that this movie hasn't even gone through a final dub yet and the voice in all the trailers was probably done on an Avid or Pro Tools.

This stuff always looks way cooler in "Star Wars".

At the very least, it will be fun to see half the cast of "Inception" reunited.

The good: Nolan brings all that epic, Michael Mann urban warfare sheen again, and it looks great. Interesting that Catwoman seems to be an ally not an enemy. Joseph Gordon Freaking Levitt! Nolan's boast that "this is about war" seems apt and timely.

I was just comparing it to how much JGL appears in the trailer and he was barely in the first one (like one shot). It does seem calculated that Cotillard is being hidden, for some reason.

Since Liam Neeson will return as Ras Al Ghul, it's possible she's Talia, though my first reaction upon not seeing her in the trailer but for one quick shot is that maybe her role got cut down.

I agree with that. It seemed tonally out of place. Kind of surprised Nolan let that slip by.

Nolan's never been the best writer of humor. See any of his movies: the jokes and one liners could've been written by a 4th grader.

Well, looking forward to this, even if Scott's track record SINCE "Blade Runner" has been spotty at best and he's not nearly the visual provocateur he once was early in his career.

It mimics the voices of some of the characters crying for help (not to mention a cellphone ringing) drawing them further into the hole. Or was that just in the book?

There was that movie "The Ruins", where the college kids are trapped on a hill and cannibalized by a flesh eating plant (that talks!). But my vote is for "The Happening" as the most hysterically bad.
