Iron Man and Dark Knight trailers
There are a few new comic based movies coming out in 2008, and if you haven't seen the trailers for them yet, I think it's about time you sat down and took them in.
The film I'm looking forward to the most this year is Batman: The Dark Knight. At last we have a Batman that can be taken seriously, and at last we have a treatment of the Joker that appears how I'd always imagined him to be. Watch the trailer... I've seen it a few times now and it still makes me go 'wow!'.
Iron Man is due out sometime in May, with Robert Downey Jr. starring as Tony Stark/Iron Man. I have to say, Iron Man has never been one of my favorite Marvel characters. Actually my dislike for him grew during the Marvel Civil War when he totally screwed over Captain America, but that's another story. On paper this movie scared me, sounded like it had the potential to be the celluloid version of a septic tank. Having watched the trailer though, I'm a little more hopeful.
Other comic book movies rumored to hit the big screen in 2008-09 include:
- Ant-Man (the Henry Pym version - not the funny Irredeemable Ant-Man version)
- Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
- Punisher: War Zone (no Tom Jane - could suck)
- Y: Last Man Standing (Shia LaBeouf to play Yorick?)
- Justice League of America (Megan Gale as Wonder Woman?)
- Luke Cage (still only rumours)
- Captain America
- Sub-Mariner (I hope this one doesn't get made - in short - bound to suck)
- Thor
- The Green Lantern (really? Please tell me they are joking! If the idea of a Green Lantern movie doesn't make you gasp in terror, check out this treatment of the Green Lantern in what was a failed JLA TV pilot from the late 90's - take a look and guess why it failed)

I think Thor would be pretty good… It’d be kind of hard to take a badass character and do a poor job in the movies with it, but it’s possible… I’ve gotta give some credit to the movie makers trying to make movies for the lesser-hero’s, because I think it’d be harder to make a movie that has an impact on people with those characters, especially considering all of the predispositions people would have regarding what the character should be.
