Favorite comic book moment ever might be after civil war, when Iron man tried to make him register, and Thor bitch smacks him so hard his suit shuts down, and practically makes tony pee his pants. So fucking awesome.

That was an awesome moment. There was a similar moment in Nova closer to the end of the Civil War stuff where Nova returns to Earth and talks to Stark and is just all like "WTF Dude. I was fighting a huge intergalactic war and just saved the universe... AND THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE DOING?!"

Fignuts

I read that too, but I was hoping for something a little more. He was too chill. I was hoping Iron man and his cronies would try to apprehend him for not registering, think "lol it's only nova" and then nova would assrape the lot of them. But alas....

Not a movie question but I imagine someone in here would know. Is there a complete collection of the Age of Apocalypse storyline available, or just the 4 book set? All this talk about the Civil War makes me want to go get that and the AOA but I can't seem to find it in one book, it seems strung out across like 6 books.

The part I had was where Thor was telling Tony that one of us is the God of Thunder (... And Rock n Roll!), while the other was a man in a metal suit. He also said that if any of his handlers went into Asgard, they'd learn what True Power was.

NO IRON MAN 2 SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL

Hollywood studios are expected to run ads pushing seven different movies during Sunday’s Super Bowl, but Iron Man 2 won’t be among the beneficiaries of the $3 million 30-second spots that are seen by as many as 100 million people. Paramount is planning to buy ads for the Martin Scorsese-helmed Shutter Island (Tokyopop has the graphic novel) and the M. Night Shyamalan-directed The Last Airbender (Del Rey & Dark Horse have an array of tie-in titles), but Paramount has decided not to buy an ad for Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 2, which it did not produce, but is distributing.

According to Variety Disney has acquired several spots and is likely to spring for ads for Toy Story 3 and Alice in Wonderland, and perhaps the videogame-based Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Universal is expected to air ads for The Wolfman, which unspools on February 12th and Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood with Russell Crowe that is slated to debut on May 12th.

The exact number of movies that will be hyped at the Super Bowl is not known yet as the studios are being extremely reticent about their plans. There is probably still considerable in-house debate about which titles would benefit most from the massive exposure. Movie marketing is not an exact science--Super Bowl ads certainly didn’t keep Land of the Lost and Race to Witch Mountain from bombing last year.

Vastardikai

We won't see an Iron Man 2 ad for the Superbowl, but WILL see a BS Focus on the Family ad featuring the (possibly fabricated) story of Tim Tebow.

Even though he has portrayed a younger Professor X (in X3's flashbacks as well as Wolverine), Patrick Stewart is pretty sure he won't be in this prequel/reboot, since they will want a younger Professor X and Magneto.

"The costume is a flag, but the way we're getting around that is we have Steve Rogers forced into the USO circuit," Johnston said. "After he's made into this super-soldier, they decide they can't send him into combat and risk him getting killed. He's the only one and they can't make more. So they say, 'You're going to be in this USO show' and they give him a flag suit. He can't wait to get out of it."

He added that "When he does go AWOL, he covers up the suit but then, after a few things happen, he realizes that this uniform allows him to lead. By then, he's become a star in the public mind and a symbol. The guys get behind him because he embodies something special."

Which leads to a new costume: "In the first USO sequences, the frustrated patriot will be wearing a version that is closer to the classic Jack Kirby-designed costume, but then later as the super-soldier hits the war zone he will be wearing a sturdier, more muted version that he makes himself that is more like battle togs. The stripes across his mid-section, for instance, will be straps, not colored fabric."

Kalyx triaD

02-09-2010, 05:31 AM

I thought for a moment they'd simply give him the current suit Bucky's wearing to make him 'hip', but it's cool that they're staying classic and explaining it. It may end up looking like the Ultimate version anyway (a reasonable variation).

Although if there's anything the Superman Returns and Spider-Man movies revealed to me, it's that people don't really question the logic behind the brighter stuff. I guess they're well aware what they paid to see. Still it's best to tackle in some sense, be it some justification (Superman's suit is the rocket ship's inner fabric), humor (X-Men's "yellow spandex" line), or straight logic (Batman Begins).

Jeritron

02-09-2010, 05:38 AM

I was sort of skeptical about the choice of Joe Johnston, but I'm warming up to it. The stigma of Jurassic Park 3 is strong, but he has made some fun films otherwise. He seems like a cool dude

Regency is developing a new Daredevil film, according to Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood. David Scarpa (The Day the Earth Stood Still) is writing the script, according to the report.

The first Daredevil movie was released in 2003 and starred Ben Affleck in the title role with Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Colin Farrell as Bullseye and the pre-Iron Man Jon Favreau as Foggy Nelson. It did $102 million in U.S. box office.

Rammsteinmad

Sony has announced that its reboot of Spider-Man (see “Columbia to Reboot Spider-Man”) will be produced in 3D for release on July 3, 2012, according to the Hollywood trades. Once the studio moved off its May 2011 dates and committed to a new director and cast, it was just a question of when a new script would be agreed upon and production scheduled.

A script by James Vanderbilt, based on Bendis’ and Bagley’s Ultimate Spider-Man story of the high school Peter Parker, is planned as the basis of the new production (see “Ultimate Spider-Man Inspires New Film”).

The 3D announcement is undoubtedly one of many more that will be made in the wake of the $2 billion+ Avatar juggernaut.

I don't think the age of the franchise is ever really the issue. I think it's the years between the last installment, and the new start.

There was only 8 years between Batman & Robin and Batman Begins. That was plenty of time.

If this ends up coming out in 2012, that's a difference of 5 years. Maybe by then people will be ready. Still, it feels like those few years make a difference.
I dunno, perhaps production will get held up a bit. That seems to always be the case with superhero movies anyways.

In any event, I'm over it. I'm sure everyone will be ready to go give another Spiderman movie a chance by then.
In fact, I think 99% of the people complaining would go see it tomorrow if given the chance. I know I would

So what's the siege storyline all about? I haven't really read anything aside since Civil War and World War Hulk?
My, you're behind.

In a brief-ish summary - in the Secret Invasion crossover from 2008 there's a massive Skrull attack on Earth. The Skrulls target Tony Stark and take out virtually every single piece of Stark Industries technology, discrediting him as pretty much useless. At the same time, Norman Osborn shoots the Skull Queen on camera in the final battle of the invasion, making him into something of a hero. The government puts Osborn in charge of SHIELD which ends up getting replaced by a new organisation named HAMMER. All the while he's involved in a secret alliance with a bunch of villains like Doctor Doom, Loki, The Hood and others and uses his power to basically further his own agenda. Siege is basically going to be the heroes finally fighting back against Osborn & co and presumably knocking him out of power.

Wonder who the villain for that is gonna be. Loki will definitely be the main villain in thor, so I doubt they'll go with him.

I think Ultron is the most feasible. Would say Kang, but he's a little too out there, both in look and origins.

Considering Loki's habit of being a dick on a cosmic scale I'd wager he'll have something to do with whatever motivates a team of superheroes to join up. I think Hulk will factor as an early challenge as well.

Rumor has it that Olivia Munn's cameo in Avengers is more than that, she may have a solid part as Scarlet Witch! But I doubt they'd give a part like that to her, untested as she is - and these Marvel movies are drawing much more credible names, it would be a wasted casting IMO.

Doesn't Fox have a lock hold on Marvel's mutants? Is Scarlet Witch's classic Avengers status some kind of loophole? She is Magneto's daughter... Interesting.

Scarlet Witch isn't really an X-Men character these days - she's far more associated with the Avengers. Can't really see her being signed away to Fox when she's far more likely to factor in to any Avengers films than future X-Men ones.

As a big marvel fan, I'm sure I was just as outraged as all of you that disney brought marvel. So maybe just the names of the heroes might bring some attention but don't expect a blast from the screen. Disney action movies are ok only if it involves pirates, can you imagine comic book heroes in the caribbean? I thought so. Although the original plans for Captain America are still in tact since it has something to do with nazies. Disney loves that.

Disney's not going to interfere with current and even future Marvel deals with other studios, they will only increase Marvel's output by producing material for heroes other studios haven't picked up yet.

From Marvelousnews.com:

Here is the official movie synopsis for the Kenneth Brannagh directed Thor.

"Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, "Thor", which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth."

Staring Chris Hemsworth,Tom Hiddleston,Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo,Natalie Portman and Stellan Skarsgard, Thor is slated to open in theatres on May 6,2011.

Enter Captain America:

The question of who will wield the shield is one of the most intriguing casting mysteries in contemporary Hollywood. It appears that Marvel has narrowed the field down quite a bit, though it is still unclear whether the studio will decide to go with a relative unknown or someone with a modest resume like Chris Evans (the Human Torch in the FF movies). The success that directors like J.J. Abrams who chose Chris Pine for Star Trek and James Cameron who went with Sam Worthington for Avatar have enjoyed certainly tends to indicate that casting unknown actors is no deterrent to creating a box office bonanza.

According to Borys Kit of The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has already crossed a number of names off the well publicized list of Captain America wannabes (see “Captain America Casting Underway”) including John Krasinski (The Office), Michael Cassidy (Smallville), and Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl). Actors who are “still in the running” include Wilson Bethel who starred in HBO’s Generation Kill and is currently appearing in the Young and the Restless, Mike Vogel (Cloverfield), Garrett Hedlund (Four Brothers, Tron Legacy), and Chris Evans, who is currently shooting the movie Safety Point in Texas.

According to The Reporter, Marvel Studios wants to sign its Captain America to a 9-picture deal, with The Avengers film being the second movie. The Captain America movie is set to debut on July 22, 2011.

I am not all that informed on Marvel, its stories, comics or characters - but as a fan of the X-Men cartoon, and in turn these movies in general, I am someone who fails to see any actual appeal in a Captain America film, I mean the character looks pretty out dated and seems to have only served as a good character/story for 'back in the day'. I just don't see the appeal in a film being made, pretty sure there are other better characters and stories to make. Would the film be set in the past or modern day?

Too much Deadpool? I love him, and I agree (due to trying to get everything he's in has became mundane because it isn't a treat anymore) but I'm not pissed about it. I'm happy for him. I liked that character since like 1997 when he wasn't that big. When I got back into reading comics 3 years ago, I was so glad to see Cable & Deadpool- I was like "oh shit! Deadpool's has another book"

But just look at how many books Spider-Man, Batman, Superman are in. Deadpool is simply "hot" right now and Marvel is just being capitalist and cashing in on his cult-fueled rise to fame. I NEVER thought I'd see 4 on goings from him. But chances are, going by the sales- there will only probably be 2 main books left after the storm.

Check out the oath for the DP Corps-

"Through Lightest Dark or Darkest Light, Don't need no Bling to join the Fight, Were Mercs with Mouths and so much more, Yippee Ki Yay were the Deadpool Corps!!"

Apparently Fox still wants to do X4, continuing the story of the trilogy mutants. This is hard to believe, as the original trilogy ended in a messy 'reboot welcome' climax, but the return of Bryan Singer to the franchise and the Wolverine series may be setting up a return to the trilogy universe. The First Class prequel is still on tap with Singer directing.

Hmm...

It would seem that First Class won't kick off a new series after all, and it will be reformatted in the Singer-verse with him returning. I'm guessing it'll be a one shot, explaining a few things for 'series retrospect'. Once that and Wolverine 2 is out of the way, we return to the present to see the modern X-Men - Bobby Drake and company grown up and taking on Sentinels if there's a God. This is all theory based on the tidbit that Fox still wants an X4 since Singer returned. Because between X4 (sequel), Wolverine 2 (spin-off/prequel/sequel), First Class (prequel/reboot), and Deadpool (spin-off/reboot)... it's looking kind of confusing.

Reportedly the deal includes three Captain America movies, a similar number of Avengers films as well as appearances in several other Marvel movies (see “Cap Actor Will Get 9-Picture Deal”).

The Hollywood Reporter broke the story that Evans has been offered the title role in Captain America: The First Avenger, which Joe Johnston (The Wolfman) is directing. According to The Reporter, the film will be shot in England and released on July 22nd, 2011.

If the report is correct and Evans does take the job, it will mark the end of one of the major casting competitions of recent years. A horde of hunky young actors including Michael Cassidy, Patrick Flueger, Wilson Bethel, Chace Crawford, John Krasinski, Mike Vogel, Scott Crawford, and Garrett Hedlund have all been mentioned in conjunction with the role (see “Captain America Casting Underway”).

The Hulk wasnt really a reboot though. Also it would be kinda hard to go on with an x4 in the same universe because there would be no more cyclops, jean, rogue, or professor x in the way we saw him last.

The casting of Captain America and Thor is peculiar as far as star power is concerned. It's not that I care about that, because I don't. I only care that the director picks the right actor for the role.
But The Avengers is going to be a huge production, and it's going to be strange for the "leader" to be a lesser star than Robert Downey and Ed Norton.
Wouldn't be suprised if they played it, or at least marketed it, to seem like Iron Man is the leader of the Avengers and Captain America more of a sidekick.

Even people who don't read comics recognize Cap as a far more iconic and important character than Iron Man. I don't think people will have trouble buying a lesser actor in the role of leader, for that reason.

Yeah he definitely needs some team-up series with Stephanie Brown. They make a humorous pair, the new Spidey/Wolverine - and if they take it far enough - Deadpool/Cable hilarity. There was time when Damien and Steph clashed and Dick came in and said they were both off the case. Damien looks at Steph and laughs in her face like an annoying little brother. There was another time when Damien told Steph, flat out to her face, "I wanna stab you."

That is truly Bruce's kid.

Still wanna know where the old Batgirl went off to.

... And why are we talking about this in a Marvel thread?

Someone should make a Comic Book Social Group or something. Not me, though... cause I'm lazy.

Dunno. Social groups tend to get forgotten. This thread doesn't.

Also wtf at DC pumping out batgirls like crazy.

Barbara Gordon, first Batgirl, shot by Joker. Currently managing Birds of Prey, a team consisting of Black Canary and Huntress. She also personally mentors the current Batgirl much as Bruce did Terry in Batman Beyond.

Cassandra Cain, second Batgirl, retired due to bad writing. She was badass, but certain story arcs left her messed up and DC stripped her of her role. She'll be back though, maybe the next Lady Shiva?

Stephanie Brown, formally Spoiler and Robin the Girl Wonder and currently Batgirl. Went through a lot of shit so I honestly feel like she deserves the mantle. Love the costume.

That's merely three Batgirls since Batgirl was created. Calm down.

Huntress was Batgirl for a time before Cassandra Cain took over the role as well.

That's like excusing a second batman by calling him Batguy.

Batwoman's stuff in Detective Comics has actually been pretty Awesome. She's getting her own series soon, too.

Batwoman is not a Batgirl. She was gonna be Barbara Gordon's return as the new Batwoman but DC liked her role as Oracle better.

I gotta admit Babs returning to action would have been fucking awesome.

I don't care if she's called bat woman. She's a female bat character, and that's all that matters. Pick one and stick to it.

No. There's Batgirl and Batwoman. It's easy. Sort of like Superboy and Superman. Wonder Girl and Wonder Wonder. Why should they stick to one if hero families are their thing? Seems like a silly thing to be pissy about.

And she's a lesbian.

Fignuts

04-03-2010, 07:34 PM

No problem with female counterparts. Just think it's silly to keep changing who they are.

And I'm pretty sure the lesbian one was a teenager, so she had no business calling herself batwoman anyway.

The lesbian Batwoman is... a woman. Batwoman was only ever a woman, never a teenaged Batwoman. And passing the mantle is another DC Universe stable (mostly teased, though). There really wasn't so many Batgirl's (see earlier post). Plenty of Robins though.

Just seemed like lesbo didn't get a fair shake.

Lock Jaw

As I said, the lebo's stories in Detective Comics have been fantastic.

Scratch what I said about her getting a series, though. Seems Greg Rucka is leaving DC to work on other stuff. Too bad, because he's one of their very best.

So there's been some shake-ups in the Red Sonja production and Rose McGowen may be out (she has been cast in Conan, however). A rumored as been given to Megan "She's popular?" Fox, in an act of terrible casting by the studio. I hope none of this is true as I was ready and willing to see Rose take on the part.

Having said that, I wonder if Red Sonja and Conan will be connected somehow, it would full circle as far as the character's histories go.
