yeah, i agree but the general public doesnt give a shit about the reason batman became batman or why the hulk has a shitty attitude...they usually just wanna see the action...
maybe the film producers try to present the backstory for the purists but they generally screw it up...

roodboi said:

Maybe you're right because even though I liked the Hulk movie, a lot of people complained that there was too much character development and not enough action.

this film in paticular could use alot less character development...most everyone knows who the major players are...I hope it turns out decent...just the fact their gonna make this movie is exciting...now they need to make an Avengers movie...

They could & should skip character developpement indeed,

Yes just establish that Superman does know Batman, make the hint that they even team up togther in the past a couple of times. Now you can move forward. Thats they way to do it. I hate when people say there are to many characters, thats a cope out. There were too many characters in Oceans 11. No need to see George Glooneys as kid, nor Brad Pit and the rest.

Can someone please make an ALPHA FLIGHT movie!!!!!

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

everybody knows Canadians are way too passive to be superheros...totally unbelievable, even by comic book standards ...

roodboi said:

So you do know Alpha Flight.....NOW GO AND SAVE MY ALPHA FLIGHT THREAD!!!!!

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

just can't see it unless it's made by Peter Jackson.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Sorry, but Alpha Flight was one of the lamest superhero groups ever.

uPtoWnNY said:

yeah.

Milty said:

not back in the day they weren't. around the time of alpha flight #1, they were the shit. of course, that was back when john byrne could do no wrong and well before it became apparent that his writing and art would only get worse with time, and that the work he'd already done would age terribly. or something like that...

Only time I bothered with Alpha Flight was when Wolverine or the Hulk made guest appearances.

Milty said:

She'd be perfect! Uhm...who is she?

Lammastide said:

ThreadBare said:

Who is she, man?!?

Lammastide said:

OK.. I did detective work. Ausralian model Megan Gale.

She's not AMERICAN ...but she's fine.

uPtoWnNY said:

i'll totally defend the old skool AF up to the introduction of that one character, "Box". after that, i think it jumped the shark.

Lammastide said:

Justice League of Australia!

Anxiety said:

Yeah, John Byrne and Alpha Flight was hot. I remember it well.

You're right, his work got bad with time, but I think his seventies and early eighties work holds up well.

There was already a Justice League on Smallville. Green Arrow, Aquaman, Impulse and Cyborg. I wonder which characters they'll use in the movie.

I hope there'll be some sexy men.

Anxiety said:

I used to worship John Byrne and George Perez.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

As did I. Check out Perez work on Wonder Woman - great stuff. Byrne's run on the FF & the Hulk was classic.

uPtoWnNY said:

Byrne's Hulk run was so short. Didn't he leave like after six issues to go and revamp Superman for DC?

scififilmnerd said:

In the 70s, Terry Austin's inking on X-Men took Byrne's pencils over the top. His other 70s work like on Iron Fist for example is really good, but not as excellent as on X-Men. Byrne hit his peak on his Fantastic Four run in the 80s.

sextonseven said:

Yeah, his Hulk run was short, but those issues were kick-ass.

IMO, his "Man of Steel" is THE definitive Superman. He nailed the relationship between Supes & Batman perfectly - mutual respect, but different methods.

Lammastide said:

but neither is WW. She's was Amazonian.

scififilmnerd said:

Supes
Bats
WW
The Flash
John Stewart Green Lantern
The Martian Manhunter
Aquaman
