I mean, an Oscar winner directing a Wolvie spinoff? That's gold. And that Green Arrow thing from DC will be interesting even if it pisses a few people off (it won't be faithful, but ah well). I want to see some adaptations of comics that ain't superhero stuff though. Hopefully that'll come if the Preacher and Last Man things are succesful. Anyway, good stuff mate. Took me long enough to read it... Yeah, too right, it seems like they’re rushing a few too many out now – but there’s ambition going into them, especially Marvel.

Singers superman returns was overly lovey and cheesy in places but it had so much damn heart , and its producition design having a fantastic 40's esc feel to it. The Wachowsiki Bros are apprently rebooting Superman. we'll see how that turns out , but please hollywood no-more "if its dark that must be a winner" seniaro. Just caust The Dark Knight was doesnt mean it will suit the others source matieral. More DC film adaptations methinks....I'd happly make a flash film great comic book character potential if done right. oh and the less said about The Spirit the better.

Its a shame about the planned reboot of superman.I actually thought that superman returns was thoughtful and fanatastic film, sure it can be argued that it was not really entertaing for kids due to the focus on Story than on Action but I felt that it develop the Superman mythos from the Richard Donner era and it made excited for future instalments. Apparently they want to make the new superman reboot 'dark' in the vein of 'the dark knight'. Again hollywood just copying what is popular to make a buck! But I hope that more film makers like Christopher Nolan and Bryan Singer are allowed to handle comic book films than say Brett Ratner who just focus on more than action and what looks cool than something called plot and story!
