I thought the whole scene with Lee Iacocca was an unsubtle, incredibly juvenile liberal fantasy. Zak Snyder gets to have a character say all the things we all wish we could say to corporate bigwigs who only respond to displays of power (financial or otherwise), then has that character get gunned down in cold blood.

Here's why I think Goode's Ozymandias was way off the mark…but before I start, let it be clear that I'm not calling those of you who liked it idiots. You're entitled to your opinion.

Banned in DC: Dr. Manhattan wouldn't have foreskin because he's Jewish. Don't bother checking.

@BlickNation: Wonder Woman's costume would look ridiculous in a live-action movie—who would believe that her boobs wouldn't be popping out all over the place while she's lifting a truck or whatever—but her costume isn't SO iconic that it can't be changed. I mean, Batman's was. Can you imagine how dumb TDK would have

The comic series "Gotham Central" (which might be the best "Batman" book of the last few years) did a Joker arc that was remarkably similar to the plot of the "Dark Knight" movie. The Joker basically terrorizes the city, randomly killing people with a sniper rifle and explosives. No over-the-top gimmicks, just good

DC Comics will blow up Manhattan before they let an Authority movie happen. If there was ever a title they threw under the bus, that one is it.

As a Jewish person, I grew up with the assumption that "Christian"="someone who celebrates Christmas."

I nominate 'Superman vs. Muhammad Ali' for the greatest cover of all time. Not only did it feature Superman AND Muhammad Ali, but it featured Batman, the Teen Titans, the Metal Men, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Kurt Vonnegut, Wolfman Jack and the Bee Gees…among many, many, many others.

The "Hundred-Hand Slap."

Nettles is the balls.

You've got a point, partdavid, but I gotta say: stuff like "Shrek The Musical" may be made by New Yorkers, but it sure as shit isn't made for New Yorkers. I'm sure plenty of New Yorkers have seen "Shrek," but out-of-towners make up the majority of the audience in shows like these. They're sure as hell not going to

Right with you on "Hulk," El Santo…but "Spider-Man The MusicalTM" will be way trippier.

I always thought being exterminated a la "The Road" would be more interesting, personally, but it's really just a matter of taste.

It's actually not a conventional retelling of the origin story…there's a lot of metaphysical and surreal stuff that's going to go into it. I've heard quite a bit about this script from people who've auditioned for it. I can't say I'm terribly optimistic, but rest assured that it will be more challenging and more

Madea vs. Predator

That's what I mean…did the book generate the same kind of controversy, or are people targeting the film because it's guaranteed to get more publicity than the book?

Question
Did the original source material generate the same kind of controversy?

Hipsters don't like Dave Matthews because obnoxious fratboys do.

"Do The Right Thing" is an amazing movie, and "important" in a good way, but I worry that high school kids today would just laugh at all their clothes and hairstyles. And that teachers would be fired for showing Rosie Perez titties in class.

Given how many actual laughs they elicit, maybe they shouldn't call newpaper comics "funnies" anymore. My suggestion: "disenchantmenties."
