Comic Books

It'll be turned into a Pratchett parody, and while Good Omens was amazing (my favourite book) and shows stylistically the two writers have common ground, and is begging to be made into a film, and while the Pratchett telly adaptations I've seen have captured the Discworld feel nicely enough, I just don't think this would fit with the Endless.

Sandman should be terrifying, fantastic, mind-boggling, disturbing, warped, funny, heart-breaking, thought-provoking and bloody expensive to make, just like the comics (except for the expensive bit I think), but I fear Warner Bros will tone it down and turn it into a bloody kids cartoon or something.

Grump. :angry:

Agreed, although I've always thought that 'Weaveworld' would also make an excellent film, I loved the comicbooks of both that and 'The Great And Secret Show' and both could just be transposed to film - and then never get through the censors!

For that reason too, any Sandman film will be rubbish.

Might be heresy to some to make changes to a classic - but the recolouring done to the Sandman hardcovers looks fantastic.

Comic book or film?

If it's comic I'm not surprised. The comics just seem to get more outlandish and more insane every year.

Comic, Grant Morrison is writing it. Basicaly, once Bruce Wayne has returned from the past Dick Grayson will stay as Batman for Gotham and Bruce will go around the world teaching people how to be Batman for their city. I think the arc is dubbed Batman Inc.

I like Grant's work but this sounds fishy to me.

I really want those Absolute books but I've already spent over £100 on all of the tradebacks let alone £50 per book.

That is heresy - what have they done? Why?

I spent some time yesterday reminding myself how terrible Rob Liefeld is as an artist.

He can't draw feet.

He can't draw women.

He can't draw feet.

He draws male characters so big that they're anatomically impossible. Look at how f**king big Cable's arm is.

Gotta multi-post this one due to the sheer number of shit pieces of art.

[dakyras]

He has no understanding of bodily proportions. And he can't draw feet.

He hides parts of the body he can't be arsed to draw.

He has no understanding of bodily proportions (check out Cable's leg), can't draw anyone holding something like normal (check out Shatterstar's hand). AND HE CAN'T DRAW FEET.

All women drawn by Liefeld stand like this. Seriously.

I'm going to post this one again, just because it has everything.

A whole list of why he's a terrible person can be found here and elsewhere on the net.

His work looks like a bad version Ian Gibson (who also couldn't do feet too well) but drew Tornado's Mind Of Wolfie Smith, and of course Halo Jones

[Wooderson]

I havent read anything by Liefeld in years. His art stinks. He did create Cable though - a maligned character sure, but I'm a fan.

Whats more of an issue for me is tracing. That git Greg Land for example. His work is the pits.

[Wooderson]

This is great.

Good, but was I disapointed that the joke/laughing scene wasn't there.

Woulda been a spoiler though right? The scene above sheds light on the nature of the Joker's insanity (or otherwise) though.

That man really cannot draw a foot.

Just watched Superman/Batman Apocalypse, very good but ever since I saw Wonder Woman all these direct to dvd films are rubbish in comparison.

Rhys Ifans to play Spidey villain...

I herd that, he suppose to be playing Venom. Which just seems to soon to put him into the 1st flick.

Darren Aronofsky looks like is going to be directing Wolverine 2, got high hopes for this as it's gonna be set in Japan Samurai style and it has the guy that wrote Usual Suspectors doing the script.

Have heard it could be Goblin or Lizard he's playing as well. Guess we will just need to wait and see I guess

It's been confirmed now that it's the Lizard, much better than Venom.

And the prick Tom Hardy has been cast as a baddie in Batman 3.

I've met Tom Hardy a few times and he's complete dick, shame as he is a f**king good actor though.

Filming for Judge Dredd with Karl Urban starts in six weeks, on 15 November and will be completed by the end of February 2011. I'm optimistic that it will be a decent take on Stoney.

Edited to add: although it will be in native 3D - hmmm less impressed.

From what they are saying it could be a mixed bag, they say he's not going to remove his helmet which shows they making a serious attempt at the character but memories of Spiderman 1 pop into my head where it looked like toys were talking to each other. I do like the idea of it being just another day in the force as opposed to some big epic story arc.

Karl Urban is an excellent choice, thought he was the best thing in the new Star Trek flick.
