his story. When I heard that the movie was being made, I purposely decided not to read the graphic novel until after I saw the movie. I wanted to go see the movie without judging it against the graphic novel. In seeing it, the movie gave me a lot to think about. This post will focus on just the movie and it's worldview.
tire and quit adventuring. Warner Brothers released a mock news video that the explains the Keene Act. It is
he story. I thought about the character called "The Comedian" was amazingly complex. He died in the beginning of the story, but his presence was felt throughout the story because it was in finding out why he was murdered that the other Watchmen figured out what was going on. The Comedian is not my ideal of a hero. He was shown doing horrible things throughout his life, but he he also protected society as a costumed vigilante and government agent. He stumbled on a plan that would kill millions of people.
is origin, his gradual disconnection from people, and then realizing that he must save people. He also sees no reason to wear clothes and is glowing blue. I think he may be a reason why people didn't think the movie could be made, but today through the magic of CGI, we have no problem. The actor was perfect. I think he pulled of the emotional disconnection wonderfully in a monotone expressionless voice. Manhattan is like Superman gone horribly wrong. I also like Nite Owl. Of all the characters, I think he was the most sane. The most grounded. He kind of reminded me a lot of Batman - a highly skilled fighter with lots of great gadgets. Between Nite Owl's powers and Rorschach's paranoia and detective skills (yes, I know put together you get Batman), the movie-goer understands the big picture.
rse you can keep the threat ongoing and stoke it perhaps? What if we give it a name like "War on Terror" - faceless, nameless enemy (who is terror anyway?) bent on taking everything away? In fear people would limit their own civil liberties in exchange for feeling more secure. Fear can be used to keep the populace in mind while oil companies and bankers make more money than ever before....Oh, wait, that's what we have now! Okay, so maybe it will work.
I'm not a god, and if there was, I'm nothing like him.
With Rorschach and Wolverine's new movie coming out this year, the two...um...discuss the merits of their movies and their existence. It's very funny. ItsJustSomeRandomGuy has done it again. It's based on the famous "I'm a Mac...I'm a PC" advertising campaign. Take a look:
What if Spider-man was Japanese and not American? Well, there was a television series in the 1970's that answers that question. Spider Powers? check! Webshooters? check! Giant Mech??! Yup.
I like this clip showing off just what Dr. Manhattan is capable of:
an. A lot of info was spilled about Superman who's writer, James Robinson, was there. He was cool. He talked about the direction he was taking the book. He said that Kandar, the Kryptonian City (yes, the same city in other continuities that Brainiac had shrunk down and placed in a bottle) has been returned to full size and re-settled on an uninhabited fictional planet orbiting the sun. With over 1000 Kryptonians, all with Superman's powers they can't come to earth and Superman will leave earth and to live with them. To complicate matters Zod is among them. You know the man that hated Jor El, Superman's father, and caused all the ruckus in Superman II. The Panel didn't say anything about Lois Lane and if she leaves with him. He also mentioned that Supergirl has yet again been changed and now more like the Pre-Crisis-of-the-Infinite-Earth's version of the character. She remains on earth but hides her identity. A new Superman limited series will begin detailing Superman's life on New Krypton and the current Superman books will focus on what happens in Metropolis while Superman is away. I'm not sure about this direction. I prefer Superman to be the only humanoid survivor of Krypton. I think it cheapens the character to have so many survivors. But we'll see where this goes. Here is the trailer:
od news! Bruce Wayne is not dead! I haven't read Final Crisis yet but from what I heard it looks like Batman died saving the DC Universe. But, he is missing and although the writer and editors were present at the panel, they would give up very little information. All they would confirm is that Bruce is missing and Gotham is self-destructing without him leading to battles among Batman's allies, apprentices, and enemies for the mantle. Also by the end of this Summer there will 8 on-going books connected to Batman.
