Hmmm… okay maybe you've got a point. After all, if Trank was so motivated to step away from the comics, why would he almost perfectly crib the origin storyline from the Ultimate books? And why would he be keen to feature the Fantasticar (which they actually shot footage of) and H.E.R.B.I.E. (who never made it past the…

I wouldn't say "contempt"… and I definitely wouldn't say it was the studio's. Trank seems to have been the one pushing against the superhero element, trying his damnedest to make the film a straight sci-fi action-horror vehicle. And it was actually a good approach, because the Fantastic Four aren't really superheroes—…

Okay, where's "The Final Girls"?

I don't know… Amazon's in-house shipping service is pretty unsavory as it is. Do you really want to trust delivery drivers with a reputation for "losing" customers' packages with alcohol? It'll be a goddamn delivery-truck drunk-driving massacre!

Yeah, Routh definitely got shafted by the film's lukewarm reception… I'm sure if they'd made a "Superman Returns 2" (which I'm almost positive they were planning to call "The Man of Steel", to capitalize on the success of "The Dark Knight" as a title), he would have gotten the chance to win over his detractors by…

I wish DC could have stuck to its guns and just put out nothing but prestige solo franchises. Rather than a bunch of interconnected, throw-away films that tie into a big team-up movie, imagine a string of trilogies and stand-alones that put as much thought and effort into depicting their distinct, individual…

Henry Cavill looks like he was sculpted from granite by John Byrne for the express purpose of being the most "Superman" Superman to ever walk the Earth. And he can friggin' act, to boot!

DC's television department gets it. Arrow may be gritty and dark, sure, but The Flash is fun, cheesy, and energetic. Supergirl is colorful, funny, and full of hope. The shows all feel distinct from each other.

Yeah, but that's the irony of the Marvel/DC film rivalry. Marvel characters are inherently cynical (humanized characters dealing with real-world problems, who don't always win and sometimes have to deal with moral compromise), whereas DC characters are inherently idealistic (paragons of morality who stand more as…

Eh— I don't think so, myself. Smith's star has been on the decline lately; I'm pretty sure he joined this movie to be part of an ensemble, rather than to dominate the film. Licking his wounds, so to speak.

I do think it MIGHT turn out alright, but there's something about the excessive focus on Harley Quinn and the Joker (plus the inclusion of Killer Croc and a certain cameo that features prominently in the trailer) that makes me think Warner Bros. regards it as— yep— a Batman spin-off. Hence the effort. Hence the…

Welp, it's goin' on fifteen years now since the whole "comic book movie" craze shifted into high gear, and we're still waiting on Warner Bros. to deliver a single good non-Batman superhero movie. And now even the faintest glimmer of hope regarding a potentially great Superman movie… has been snuffed out.

Yes, I've seen the videos too… and while Plinkett obviously has a point regarding Generations, Nemesis, and Insurrection, I feel like First Contact is the most fidelitous of the Next Gen films to the source material. Hell, of all the post-Generations films, First Contact is the only one that bothers to explain why…

I actually really like that first movie, and the protracted ship-reveal shots don't bother me that much. But then again, I kind of have two strikes against me on that point:

I used to think that First Contact was the best Star Trek film. Then I graduated high school.

"…all of it throws everything from the previous incarnations of Trek completely out the window, from characterizations to themes."

Actually, Superman's animated ventures have gone over a LOT better than his live-action ventures! Superman vs. The Elite and All-Star Superman could easily be two of the best feature-length Superman projects to date.

Superman has plenty of strange and grotesque bad guys! Parasite, Metallo, Bizarro, Doomsday, Brainiac… all of them could be made plenty creepy by the right filmmaker. Hell, Tim Burton was halfway ready to give us a Brainiac that was basically just Christopher Walken's head in a jar.

Oh, please GOD, let this be true!

I actually read a rumor that Marvel is having a bit of trouble developing Iron Fist as a television show— hence the lack of information on casting or release.
