Like that's a stretch.

Very nice, but Linus as the Comedian? They're father and daughter... and brother and sister?

It's been years since I've read anything with Glenn Talbot in it (he be very dead in the Marvel U), but I remember him being a weasly sycophant for General Ross and trying to weasel his way into Betty's heart. Maybe it was the pencil-thin mustache, but that was always my impression.

The soundtrack listing might answer your question NightAngle, assuming they go the same order as the movie.
1. Why So Serious? 09:14
2. I'm Not A Hero 06:34
3. Harvey Two-Face 06:16
4. Aggressive Expansion 04:35
5. Always A Catch 01:39
6. Blood On My Hands 02:16
7. A Little Push 02:42
8. Like A Dog Chasing Cars 05:02
9. I Am The Batman 01:59
10. And I Thought My Jokes Were Bad 02:28
11. Agent Of Chaos 06:55
12. Introduce A Little Anarchy 03:42
13. Watch The World Burn 03:47
14. A Dark Knight 16:15
I don't think that any soundtrack in recent history has gone in order.

This looks painful.
Did this become a caption contest thread?

When I saw the Gary Frank sketchbook in an issue of Wizard, I remember thinking, "His Superman is going to rock". I wasn't too thrilled with his Lois or Supergirl though. This validates the first thought, invalidates the 2nd, and I can't wait to see his Supergirl now.

The geek world becomes unraveled as nerds choose sides! The two angriest reviewers in internet history have... aw, fuck it. This promotional crap is harder to do than I thought.
Anyway, The Nostalgia Critic (aka ThatGuyWithTheGlasses aka Douglas) made a video a few months back declaring the nerd should reign in his fans that were leaving comments on his YouTube channels about how he war ripping off the Angry Video Game Nerd (aka The Angry Nintendo Nerd aka James). He warned that if the Nerd made any kind of comment, there would be repercussions.

That opening salvo was met with a response... in written form. James posted a comment on his forums that was complimentary. Or was it?
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolink...erd-rant-part-2
Tensions were building. Fans were commenting. A storm was building. And then came The Wizard (aka Super Mario Brothers 3 trailer with a full-length feature film around it aka that movie with the kid from The Wonder Years) incident.
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolink...vgn-wizard-rant
Still this conflict remained one-sided. The Nerd refused to respond, citing he was, "way too busy".
The Nerd has responded. The war is on. The first casualty was the Nostalgia Critic's website, which was forced to move servers much sooner than expected. WHICH SIDE WILL YOU CHOOSE?
P.S.: If anyone has enough free time and interest to make Civil War parody banners, I'd greatly appreciate it.

That trailer makes me pine for the Dolph Lundgren Punisher.

For Hal Jordan, you need someone who's 35-ish and is fearless, a little sexy, has a military edge yet is a bit cocky.
At the top of my list is Daniel Craig, followed by Kevin McKidd and Nathan Fillion.
From Mal to Hal? I like it.

I'm still not wearing pants.
Where the hell did these pants come from?

Okay well I'm sure this topic has been discussed in some form or another, but I just thought it would be interesting if it got its own forum topic.
Seeing your list, I'm sure this will spark a debate.
Now, Michael Ironside was the first thought in my head which convinced me to start this topic. He would be great to portray a character like Darkseid in a feature film format. He could be as good as he was in the DCAU voicing him. As a live action version, he'd still stand up great.As the voice of Darkside, absolutely. Personally, I don't think a live-action Darkseid would look good. You would almost have to do him CG to do him justice.
This isn't a villain, but a quick thought. Dakota Fanning as a young Barbara Gordan. She's a smart young actress and is now old enough to portray a version of Barbara that is still quite few years(therefore quite a few movies)before we see her become Batgirl.Um, no. Just no. Dakota Fanning looks like she's an 8-year old, and would not age well to be Barbara. Besides that, Batgirl or Robin wouldn't really fit into the world Nolan established for Batman Begins.
Actress Adrianne Palicki, who played the Evil Siren in "Mercy Reef" and "Fake Kara" in Smallville would be great to play either Supergirl in a new movie, Ursa in a new Superman movie or even Poison Ivy in a new Batman movie(maybe in the third Batman film as Pamela Isely, than in the fourth as Poison Ivy).I'd have to find some more of her work (I don't watch Friday Night Lights, I'm not watching a fucking Aquaman pilot that the CW wouldn't air, and I'm trying to wipe Smallville from my memory), but at first glance she's far to glamorous to play Supergirl. I'm all for a new SG movie, as long as they erased the first one from continuity but kept Jerry Goldsmith's theme music, but I picture more of an unknown to play her.
I might get gripe on this, because this wrestler isn't much of an actor, but the chracter doesn't need much work if done right. Kevin Nash(Diesel in WWF in the mid-90's), who played "Super Shredder" in TMNT II and "The Russian" in The Punisher(2004) would make a decent Solomun Grundy or Bane in a future Batman film.Your forgetting his work in "The Devil's Rejects" and "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch". Big Lazy is one of those guys I could imagine being great in a role that requires a lot of snarky dialogue and not a lot of movement, eg. Tombstone or Killer Croc. As for Solomun Grundy and Bane, you need more than just a tall guy, you need some who's massively big. Brock Lesnar would be my choice for either.
Okay here's another one I'll get gripe on, lol. With all the crazy roles Johnny Depp has played I can see him playing The Riddler, similar to how Frank Gorshin played it in Batman(1966)series. Serious with a little comedy.Huh, didn't know Tim Burton was directing a new Batman movie (sorry for the flashbacks, Mike). I agree that Depp could play the Riddler, but in the end it would resemble Jim Carrey's a little too much. I forget who's idea it was, but David Hyde Pierce might be a better choice for the world Nolan has established.
-
He should do MK 2, now thats a piece of shit.
Take his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III review and put it at the end of MK: Armageddon. There's your review.
-
I'm not going to go into the entire history, but when all of Banner's personalities (grey, green, and puny) merged in Incredible Hulk #377, they created a green Hulk with Banner's intelligence, Grey's cunning, and Green's strength. More recently, during the Bruce Jones run, Banner could control the Hulk up to a point. If he got too angry, "HULK SMASH!" would follow.

Hi guys
Tinyurl.com on the links man.
What...?
I think he's advertising a site.

Great show so far, but I had to pause it for a giggling fit at one line from Mr. Sims:
Even if Dick has shunned Bruce, there's no way Bruce wouldn't have been setting money aside for Dick.Juvenile, I know, but still unintentional comedy gold.
-
Hopefully Brian Dennehy isn't the sheriff in his hometown, lol.
Maybe it'll be David Caruso?
-
The scene that got me scratching my head the most was simply a continuity problem. Remember the ending of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", we see the Ark being carted into a US Military facility(basically to stay lost), the in "The Last Crusade" we see the Ark in one of the caverns Indy and the German woman are searching through. Suddenly in this film, its back in the Military facility. How?
They didn't see the Ark itself, they saw a drawing of it on the cavern walls. And she was Austrian.

I love how Superman and Batman fighting with axes and werewolf rape are on this list and you're most surprised by "disappearing middle class"!
Superman and Batman are no-brainers, even with axes they are gonna bring up E-2. You're the embodiment of Werewolf rape, so that explains that. But where exactly is disappearing middle-class mentioned on the mainpage? Did the site shift to political sciences discussions without me noticing?
Werewolf rape will never die. It is my legacy.And nobody wants to take it from you.

- disappearing middle-class
...the fuck?

I'm still waiting for "Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys". Orbitron rules us all.

- zombie cock fighting
Do zombie cocks even work?

*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Date: May 19, 2008By: El Mayimbe
Source: El Mayimbe
From writers David Goyer (Batman Begins) & Justin Marks (VOLTRON) comes SUPERMAX: The Green Arrow Prison Break Movie!
El Mayimbe here…
David Goyer co-wrote another Superhero movie?! I remember back in the day when I first read his Batman Begins and the immense joy I had in reading that so now when I hear his name attached to another superhero themed screenplay, it’s a must read for sure.
In Hollywood reading circles, SUPER MAX has been making a lot of noise and I was lucky enough to take a quick peek this past weekend. So what is known so far about the project?
Here is what David Goyer told Wizard Magazine when they first broke the story a little over a year ago…
“He’s Green Arrow for the first 10 minutes of the movie, and then he’s arrested and his secret identity is revealed. They shave his goatee and they take his costume and send him to prison for life, and he has to escape. It’s like ‘Alcatraz,’ and he has to team up with, in some cases, some of the very same villains he is responsible for incarcerating in order to get out and clear his name. Of course, tons of people try to kill him while he’s in there. We’ve populated the prison with all sorts of B and C villains from the DC Universe. For the fans, there will be all sorts of characters the hardcore comic book junkies will know, but they’re all going to be there under their human names and no one is wearing a costume, but there will be a lot of characters with powers and things like that.”
Goyer pretty much summarizes what is principally the first act of the script. I will elaborate a little further. For those of you who don’t know, who is the Green Arrow? His secret identity is Oliver Queen, billionaire activist of the fictional Star City. Dressed like Robin Hood, Green Arrow is an archer, who invents arrows with various special functions, such as a glue arrow, a net arrow, or a boxing-glove arrow.
I’m not a hard core Green Arrow fan, but I took a look at the book back when Kevin Smith did his run on the character. So what’s the verdict? A great script with a cool concept and really cool execution! Is it accessible to all audiences – Green Arrow fans and non fans? Again, an absolute yes! In SUPER MAX we do get the Green Arrow’s origin layered throughout the script in flashback and executed very cleverly. The script borrows from both the original origin and from Andy Diggle and Jock's recent Green Arrow: Year One.
Oliver Queen began as a wealthy playboy and rich, thrillseeking activist, who after a drunken rant at a party goes for a voyage on his yacht with his best friend and wingman WILL HACKETT. The opening scene in the script is when twenty something trust fund brat Ollie falls overboard and splashes into the ocean. He washes ashore lives like Robinson Crusoe on a semi-deserted Pacific island. Forced to hunt for survival, Queen developed his natural archery skill to a peak level. When drug-runners came to the island, he captured them and returned to civilization three years later, changed by his experiences on the island. Ollie returns to civilization full of principles and vision per the words of his buddy Hackett who is honoring him at an opulent dining hall with other society types after the opening scene.
Hackett goes on to say that over the last ten years, Queen Industries has committed almost a billion dollars towards Ollie’s principles. Whether it be fighting organized crime, corporate fraud, or government corruption, Oliver Queen (now in his 30s) is a warrior on the front lines. A modern day Robin Hood.
MARCUS CROSS is also at the dinner. Cross wants to take over Queen Industries.
Meanwhile, over at CHECKMATE WORLD SECURITY HEADQUARTERS, COL. TALEB BENI KHALID spearheads the controversial Checkmate Initiative which intends to safeguard the public from vigilantes. Khalid believes that those who don the mask and cape should not be permitted to call themselves enforcers of the law. A break-in happens at Checkmate HQ, and all of Khalid’s bodyguards are killed using Green Arrows.
Ollie learns of the breach at Checkmate HQ through his secret police band ear piece, leaves his dinner and turns into the Green Arrow by page 7.
So what does the cinematic Green Arrow look like? The Green Arrow wears a tight green leather suit, quivers attached to his ankles and thighs, and a giant COMPOUND BOW running across his back. His face is concealed by a dark hood.
Green Arrow finds Khalid dead in a warehouse – killed by a Green Arrow. He’s been set up. A SWAT unit bursts in and a cool chase sequence ensues which ends with Green Arrow getting caught by the Police Chief. Green Arrow is surrounded by an army of cops with their weapons trained on him and he surrenders – our inciting incident on page 10.
Apparently, at the police station, the DA has a hard-on for Ollie and has been wanting to bring him down for years. Hackett comes to the station to talk to Ollie who believes he has been set up by Cross who is staging a ninety billion dollar takeover of Queen Industries. If Queen’s expenditures get marked as criminal activity, this takeover just got that much easier.
It’s obvious that weeks later, Queen is found guilty. The Judge believes that since he has no confidence that a conventional lockup will be able to contain a man of Mr. Queen’s abilities, it is the recommendation of the court that he spends the remainder of his life in the only place in the world that could lock him down…the SUPERMAX PENITENTIARY FOR METAHUMANS. Ollie is surrendered to the custody of the Checkmate Initiative. The Alcatraz for super villains, no one has ever escaped SUPERMAX.
Since Queen is now a prisoner, he gets injected with a computer chip – A Parallax Device. We will come to learn that the Parallax Device is how the prison keeps the inmates and their abilities in check. Ollie meets the warden, AMANDA WALLER (black, 40s) who gives him his introduction to SUPERMAX and the Parallax Device. Col. Khalid was a friend of hers. It’s safe to say that Ollie is fucked. In the baptism gallery, Ollie gets the shit kicked out him by guards led by PENOTTI. Ollie gets a green jumpsuit and is given his number: 9242.
Want to know how cool SUPERMAX is? The prison changes shape, cells rearrange, and reconfigures every night to disorient the prisoners from breaking out. A transforming super prison! Cool.
At the end of Act I, Ollie hooks up with SPLIT, a teleporter and one of the DCU villains who gives him the lowdown in the recreation yard and becomes Ollie and the audience’s liaison. I will be presenting the rest of the rogues gallery shortly. Here is something else really cool - THE JOKER, LEX LUTHOR, and THE RIDDLER are inmates at SUPERMAX! They make cool cameos but I won’t spoil how.
The prisoners are divided into groups. First the mortals like Ollie – Green suits. Then geniuses – Blue Suits. Finally, the green suits – metas, superpowers. The other inmates that can’t be controlled are class five. Their powers are too much and are in permanent lockdown in the cells.
BLOCKBUSTER seems to be prison gangster running the show being the biggest and strongest fucker there.
How do the stakes go up for Ollie in prison? The takeover of Queen Industries gets legally complicated so in order for his estate to get released to Cross, he has to be declared dead!
Now the Green Arrow is a marked man in prison.
Overall, I had a hell of a time reading the script. I read the first part, rushed over to the Indiana Jones screening and rushed back to finish the rest. The script delivers on all levels and I think, Goyer has himself another winner here. The studio would be on crack not to make this. The script alones deserves it’s own graphic novel in the least. I heard a rumor somewhere that Matt Damon was in negotiations to star as Ollie Queen/Green Arrow. He certainly has the physicality and chops for the meaty role considering how bad ass Damon was in the last Bourne film. I think a solid choice. Will Ollie and his band of metahumans break out of SUPERMAX? We will just have to wait and see if and when Warners pulls the trigger.
