eek The idea of Dazzler may have been lame, but I think they did an excellent job salvaging the character. I loved her as an X-Man in Australia and the little triangle between her, Longshot, and Rogue. It was great to see characters like her, Polaris, and Havok who really didn't want to be superheroes, but kept getting roped into it against their will.

That looks fantastic! Rahne! Warren! Wanda! Pietro! Lorna! Spiral! Even Domino and Maverick! Wow! I'd love to see more New Mutants -- perhaps Cannonball, Karma, and Magik? My only complaint is... well, Wolverine. I just can't buy him as the leader. Still, I don't think I've ever been more excited for a cartoon! Woohoo! woot!

I'm no expert on comic book movies or comics in generel, so take my opinion for what it's worth, but I never liked the Superman films. Or the character. I love the 90s TV show, though. But that's because I'm a helpless romantic and mainly for Teri Hatcher anyway. shrug


No issue with me. Most comic book fans would actually agree with you.

Most fanboys and fangirls hate Superman, even though, but for the success of the character, comics would likely not have been as successful as they became.

And people are increasingly split on the movie, though I loved it as a kid.

And Teri Hatcher was a big reason I loved Lois and Clark backinaday.


I will have to disagree with you saying that most fanboys love the Lois and Clark TV show. That is considered the worst TV representation of Superman ever.

eek This could be the best X-Men cartoon ever! I even saw Dust for a split second!

I agree 100% that Logan leading the team, especially with Cyclops on it, doesn't make any sense whatsoever. But Wolverine gets a higher profile to capitalize off his solo film next year of course.

My ex is the one that originally sent me the link. He just told me that he's kinda dissapointed because it's going to be on the Nickolodean channel. He thinks they may soften it up because of that. This is set for late 2008, 2009.

nod Especially since the best X-Men cartoon so far didn't even have its pilot picked up.

disbelief God, why does he have to be everywhere?! And now that I think about it, where the hell is Colossus?

This is actually something of a continuation of the X-Men: Evolution cartoon from a few years ago. A lot of the same creators and voice actors have come back to work on it.

From the premise, it sounds basically like a new jumping off point based loosely (or closely) on Days Of Future Past.

I didn't watch the trailer (again), but I remember reading that both Professor X and Jean are gone or missing or dead (I don't remember). I thought that Cyclops was also gone, justifying Wolverine leading the team. Or maybe that since it was a XM:E continuation, and they were all basically teenagers in that, that Wolverine and Storm were the eldest, most experienced members and therefore the leaders in Xavier's absence. Sorry for the fuzzy recollection. It's been awhile, I wasn't paying much attention, and I can't remember where I read it lol

Still, whatever the explanation, when this was announced a couple years ago, my heart sank at the fact that after 30 years, they finally just cut straight to the point and called a franchise "Wolverine & The X-Men" without even the pretense of making it a team thing.

The description makes it sound a lot better, but the title still bugs the hell out of me. I wish they'd just do a Wolverine solo cartoon without having to sell the team short by giving them second billing.

Saw 'The Incredible Hulk' - not on the level of 'Iron Man', but I loved it. And I love how Marvel's tying their movies together. Everything will come together in 'The Avengers'. I think the lineup will be Thor, Cap, Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp. Their first mission will be to neutralize ol' Greenskin.

i think i may be part of a wavering minority here who really thinks tim burton hit it closest to a bullseye with his batman movies, especially the second one.

i guess my problem with the nolan batman movies is that they're being celebrated for being so "gritty" and "adult". that's all fine and well, but my big hang-up is, why should a comic book movie have to be "adult"? it's a comic book movie! it's a grown ass man running around in a mask chasing some fruitcake in a clown costume! there SHOULD be some whimsy in that!

Maybe most of the adult fanbase doesn't want that kiddie crap(especially for Batman). We had enough of that bullshit with Schumacher. Nolan has the franchise headed in the right direction.

He definitely looks the part, but can say 'Have at thee!' with any conviction? smile

I keep thinking of the big mechanic from 'Adventures in Babysitting' - dude was the spitting image of Thor.

Well, I'm an adult who doesn't think it's "kiddie crap." There should be more fun in the movies. A proper balance can be struck without going into Schumacher territory. If he manages to take the humor out of my favorite Bat-villain, Two-Face, then I'll be very disappointed.

Forget that Ultron's a supervillain; Hank created artificial life! That trumps even Richards's unstable molecules and Parker's super-strong webbing. Ultron is easily the greatest invention in the Marvel Universe.

Love this clip. Ledger nailed this role. I see chaplin in many of his manerisms.. particular his eyes when he eats the shrimp. In fact, i see lots of influences here. He is gonna blow people away with this performance. Anybody seen the other leaked clip where he threatens to feed the gangland boss to his pooches? imense

Probably not, but boy, I'd love to see a Nightwing movie. I don't care whether or not it would fit into the continuity of the current Batman films. That's a movie with a lot of potential.

Judging from Nolan's work so far, prepare to be disappointed. He's sticking with the dark, gritty, realistic tone, which is fine with me. WB learned their lesson - you won't be seeing the "Broadway Batman" anytime soon. smile

Not pretty in the conventional sense, but more like a Norse god -- defined features (think Bjorn Borg). He's been known to make women swoon. lol

Well, like I said before, I wasn't completely let down by Batman Begins. The Scarecrow was done rather well; I liked what they did with the character.
