When's the new Batman movie out!? Films you're looking forward to (Trailers Too)

[Reply #440 on:]

So we're not going to see what happened to Sam when he landed on Earth?

We will, but it won't be the main focus of the movie.

On blue and orange: FUUUUU---

that's awesome, i didnt' even realize they were already planning another movie.  moon was excellent

i'm excited for the wolfman remake.  i'm sick of all the remakes coming out just like everyone else, but this one really seems to hold onto alot of what made the original classy.  hopefully i won't be disappointed.

[Reply #443 on:]

I don't get why people are so against remakes. No one objects cover songs (I just got Beatles For Sale - 7 of the 14 songs on that album are covers). I think it's interesting to see how different filmmakers interpret the same story.

And it's not like they're a new thing - the Maltese falcon and the wizard of oz are both remakes.

you got to be fucking kidding me! i hope it will never happen!

[Reply #445 on:]

I hope it does happen. It would be hillarious. Plus, Zack Snyder can't completely miss the point of something that doesn't exist yet so it's bound to be better than the first one

[Reply #446 on:]

yeah, it will be great

no Comedian, no Rorschach, no Doctor Manhattan, no cold war but wolrd peace


yup, sure sounds awesome

[Reply #447 on:]

Your forgetting about the last shot (/panel) - world peace failed

[Reply #448 on:]

so... world peace would fail because some right winged media publishes the story which lacks the actuall confirmation of who did it? (he sent the diary before they went to antarctica so the final outcome wasn't even known to Rorschach)... unlikely
especially if Night Owl II and Silk Spectre II confirm the story believed by everyone else and acuse Rorschach of insanity (which everyone would believe)

[Reply #449 on:]

The fact that the diary exists means the truth will come out one way or the other. I guess it's possible that everyone would be so happy and at peace that they wouldn't care but I think the message of the book is you can't achieve world peace by lying to people. ... .... ... ... THIS IS WHAT THE SEQUEL SHOULD BE ABOUT!!!!!!

[Reply #450 on:]

and the fact that the creators didn't make one means THERE SHOULD BE NONE!

not all stories have to be run to the ground

[Reply #451 on:]

I agree with you Bend - I just think it would be funny if Zack Snyder tried to make a sequel without Alan Moore's help

[Reply #452 on:]

as much fun as seeing someone get run over by a truck i guess



actually thinking about it, that would be more fun

[Reply #453 on:]

you got to be fucking kidding me! i hope it will never happen!

This is just terrible. The only way this could REMOTELY work is if they went back into the period where the Comedian was still apart of the Watchmen pre-superhero banning law. Like the video game The End is Nigh. But in other words: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

[Reply #454 on:]

I could see them adapting Top Ten or something and playing up the Watchmen connection but there's no way Watchmen II will happen. Even if it was somehow good, the fan uproar would kill it.

I'd love to see Zack Snyder adapt the 49ers (as long as he stays away from the soundtrack). On second thought, Bryan Singer would be better.

[Reply #455 on:]

The reason why Watchmen is in a different universe than DC canon is that DC didn't want Moore messing with the Charlton Comics characters. He originally wanted to use these classic characters in the Watchmen story, fucking with them so much that it would destroy any chance that they could be used again. That's why The Question became Rorschach, Captain Atom became Dr. Manhattan, etc. That's why you don't see Watchmen characters in other DC comics (other than little easter egg references).

DC doesn't do Watchmen characters in their comics. Instead, in recent years, they've been making the Charlton characters more like the Watchmen characters. The Question is become more of a vigilante and an Objectivist. There have been other character changes as well.

Basically, to do a sequel to Watchmen would ruin it's allure. You could do a prequel, showing the Minuteman days, but that's it. That's what Moore originally planned, actually.

Has anyone else notice that, despite Alan Moore's objections, most Alan Moore adaptations are really good? LXG is the only one that stinks.

[Reply #457 on:]

The Last Airbender Superbowl Spot.

[Reply #458 on:]

LXG is the only one that stinks.

I actually kinda liked it. I even own the DVD. I mean... I still own the DVD because nobody wanted to buy it on eBay, but nevertheless... it's Sean!

[Reply #459 on:]

Am I the only one who thinks Watchmen was total crap?

[Reply #460 on:]

Probably. There were elements that weren't great, but on the whole it was pretty okay.

[Reply #461 on:]

the ultimate cut really makes the movie a lot better by adding way more from the comic (like the Black Freighter)... but i am sure that a lot of people complain that it's now 3.5 hours long

[Reply #462 on:]

Haven't seen that. Must.

[Reply #463 on:]

Watchmen completely misses the point of the book and has a terrible soundtrack but it's still a good film.

[Reply #464 on:]

Probably. There were elements that weren't great, but on the whole it was pretty okay.

Elements? I can't pick out a single thing as one indivisible "element" that was less crappy than all the rest of them.

[Reply #465 on:]

Am I the only one who thinks Watchmen was total crap?

i'm with you. i couldn't stand the film. the only thing worth watching was the opening montage. the rest was a waste of time.

[Reply #466 on:]

Well it's easy to criticize, but these poor struggling Hollywood people do the best they can with the meagre budgets they're allocated.

[Reply #467 on:]

Well it's easy to criticize

Fun, too.

Makes a man feel big.

How could we possibly develop a sense of self worth except by being shown just how wrong everyone else is?

[Reply #470 on:]

watchmen was better than avatar

[Reply #471 on:]

 Ad hominum!

[Reply #472 on:]

better story (that isn't overdone)
better acting


take away the graphics of avatar and it would have been extremely boring and bland

[Reply #473 on:]

Yeah. I was able to sit through Watchmen without having to look at my watch eighty times. Given, I wasn't wearing a watch at that time, and also I was being given a neck rub, so it was pretty easy viewing, compared to sitting in a cinema for 3 hours wearing silly glasses that made me feel weird.

[Reply #474 on:]

*raises hand*

I was the provider of said neck-rub

[Reply #475 on:]

also considering comic-movies:

[Reply #476 on:]

Tim Burton's Batman is still the best adaptation for me. Dark Knight is awesome though. The Joker is  never not awesome.

[Reply #477 on:]

Les Aventures Extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec!
Ah sort of Indiana Jones/Tintin type french lady in a mummy pterodactyl adventure... or something!
Luc Besson is directing.

[Reply #478 on:]

The Joker is  never not awesome.

[Reply #479 on:]

The Joker is  never not awesome.

His statement is still correct.
