    Same here. Just didn't want to take all the good ones right out the gate.

    It's just I can't help but remember when Batman fought Catwoman in Batman: Year One for the first time and thought, "She's studied karate . . . but only karate."

    I think Jet Li still probably knows a hell of a lot more about martial arts and his skill goes beyond the standard black belt's, but Dolph probably does have the edge in strength and he's got a huge length advantage that Jet Li would have to overcome just to get close enough to use what he knows.
  4. What if the plot of the second involved the teaming up of various action movie villains? Who would you guys want?

    Is he? Last I knew all those legal matters were still in court. Thought I saw something about the judge letting him make more movies to pay back the taxes he owes, but I might be mistaken.

    Was it this?
  7. They could probably get Wesley Snipes in there too.

    Also, have they tried to get Clint Eastwood?
  8. I wouldn't work for Ra's al Ghul. His standards are no doubt ridiculously high, and while he might not kill you on a whim, he still demands a degree of loyalty where your life is essentially meaningless.

    I dunno. I think they could have made actual wings work. After all, a lot of times it's not a matter of what's being shot; it's how it's being shot.
  10. I'd go with Penguin. He's one of Batman's rogues who looks to stay out of Batman's way and tries to keep things legitimate at least on the surface, so you might even get decent pay and benefits.

    For real? Was that mentioned in an article or something or are you just guessing?

    And yeah they were still shapeshifters but they were called the Chitauri most of the time.

    Well, the scalemail doesn't really do him any favors anyway. >.>



    Also, who knows if they have their facts straight about the "alien soldiers?" Could mean Asgardians by the movieverse's definition. Unless they're just going to mash all of Millar's Ultimates run into this movie by having Loki work with Skrulls or something.

    Can they please take a photo where Chris Evans doesn't have a weird expression?

    I just looked at the photo and concept art a little closer and it looks like there's a line in the middle red stripe of Cap's top that continues the lines of the outfit since it's more the foldover uniform type where one side dominates. The style probably has its own name but I'm not too knowledgeable on that sort of thing.

    Hopefully there's going to be another version of the suit in the movie. After all, we've seen that Thor is going to be sporting at least two looks.

    I was hoping they'd got for a more armored look for Cap's top and I don't really care for the 3D star on his chest.
  17. How about a trio of Predators against the entire Roman Empire? Eh? Eh?

    This suit is actually padded in places to make him look more muscular. Not sure by how much, though.
  20. Yeah, I can't really see the Romans coming out on top. Their best bet would be to hand over the keys of the empire quickly and hope to take out the Marines once they're drowning in the best booze and whores the Roman Empire has to offer.

    You just know this is a result of WB demanding a rise in sales by any and all means necessary since the Marvel films are hooking a new generation readers, so by attempting to bolster the DC properties they're actually screwing up the comics, basically the one thing they've been doing better than Marvel for a long time.
  22. To be fair it's hard to make a video using this song and not have it come out awesome.
  23. The darker tones remind me of the Kingdom Come suit, so I can't completely hate it; it's just, again, you know they've made advances with suits like these and this guy looks like he could pull off a pretty badass Superman, so why did they feel compelled to fix what wasn't broken?

    Let's hope everything else about this film is good enough to help overlook the unnecessary tweaks to the costume. It'll be jarring enough with the new Spider-Man.
