I'm hoping they'll include an alternate audio track of Danny Elfman's Batman score applied to the Nolan trilogy in that upcoming box set.

You're not the guy who predicted the Elfman theme would play over the credits of TDKR are you?

Nick Martin

Hey now, no insulting the Grand Nagus.

Guru Askew

No. Neal Hefti's Batman theme shoulda been in the end credits.

I was about 10 or 11 when they killed off Superman and I thought it was permanent. My friend got the polybagged Superman #75 and it came with a black armband. Even Macy's was selling commemorative watches for Superman's death. I got suspicious though when I saw Superman #76 on the newstand.


I wasn't the most discriminating comics reader at the time but even I thought it was dumb how he died. Killed by some monster that goes "rarrrrr!!!" Why not an epic battle between him and Luthor?

but the following storyarcs Funeral for a Friend, World with a Superman, and Reign of the Supermen were all very good stories.[/QUOTE]
Funeral for a Friend had some good stories, but the highlight of all that was Adventures of Superman #500 when Pa Kent sees Clark/Superman in the afterlife.

In all fairness, Superman #75 was never advertised as the last Superman comic. It was always announced that publication would cease after Funeral for a Friend ran its course. Which they did for a few months in order to keep the ruse going. Then they restarted publication with the Reign of the Supermen arc.

Actually, just before Doomsday showed up out of nowhere, the writers were setting up an epic battle between Superman and Darkseid. Hell, the issue just before Doomsday first arrived (I don't remember which exact book since the Superman comics all crossed over back then but I think it was an Action Comics issue) had Highfather prophecying an epic final battle between Superman and Darkseid. Then suddenly Doomsday showed up and killed Superman. I remember being royally pissed that it wasn't Darkseid that killed him.

I also recall there being fan speculation that Doomsday was in some way related to Darkseid, given their grey skin.

Every time I see this thread title now I think of Dee Snyder and laugh.

The joke is almost 2 years old and I'm still laughing. Kudos.

Rockstars turning directors is interesting

RocShemp

^ Hey, he's already a screenwriter and actor. Why not director?

I almost didn't recognize Detective Stabler in that pic.

Giantrobo

I love that pic. That costume looks all kinds of badass.

Maxflier

Yes sir it does!

Solid Snake

Yeah. Still haven't seen anything that deters me from being excited from this. My only issue so far is well Snyder.

Terrell

Why do I have the feeling that Nolan had more control on this than anyone has let on?

As for the suit, I don't like it, but whatever. Cavill doesn't look like Superman, but he'll do a much better job than Routh.

Solid Snake

What doesn't make him look like Supes?

Guru Askew

The Romney/Ryan tattoo on his face.

Groucho

Too cosmopolitan.

Draven

If you are an in-shape white guy with a broad chest and dark hair...you look like Superman.

Henry Cavill looks like Superman.

Patman

Cavill has this douchey look on his face most of the time, like he smelled something foul.

Terminal

No more douchey than Tom Welling. Welling comes from the Keanu Reeves acting school.

fumanstan

I don't see how either Cavill or Welling looks douchey. I think forms of the word douche must be one of the most overused terms these days.

Terminal

I don't think Cavil looks douchey either. People are nitpicking as usual.
