So glad I didn't wait to see Avengers! Great flick :) -- nm - JenBro May 5, 15:49 2
- I am really glad I waited. Multiple lines winding around the theater for the different show times. The Hunger Games was still about 70% full. -- nm - Bacon May 5, 15:52

    - It is just the Indy 500 for snoots. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 5, 15:44 6
      - Do they still run that? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 5, 15:45

- While there are major, major oh so major spoilers in the link above, it may be enough to convince people on the fence about Avengers to see it. -- nm - David May 5, 14:14 1
  - I watched based on a hunch I knew what to expect right away (I did) and yeah, wouldn't not see it just based on being "spoiled". - Name Withheld By Request May 5, 14:29

Question/Thoughts DC vs Marvel... I am curious as to what some of the other comic fans think about the following... - Capstern May 5, 13:33 22
- As I have said, DC characters and world are like fairy tales with gods. Does not translate to the big screen. - Iron Spawn May 5, 15:37 1
  - True. Hulk is physically powerful as superman but is hamstrung by the rage monster thing...more interesting - Capstern May 5, 15:43
- another factor was all DC works have been owned by TW for a generation or 2. They kept all projects in house while Marvel shopped properties to the - peglegpete May 5, 13:52 1
  - I really would love to see a Dark Horse - Badger movie and Nexus would be fun but will never happen -- nm - Capstern May 5, 14:04
- Movie makers seem to want to cover the bases of movie making according to focus groups and whatever ahole exec is writing the memos, Marvel is run by - zeitgeist May 5, 13:41 17
  - Marvel Films is owned by Disney, which is probably the most marketing-focused studio there is -- nm - pixitude May 5, 13:46 16
    - yep. one of the reasons they bought Marvel and Marvel Studios is that Marvel market researches young men better than Disney -- nm - Remlik May 5, 14:06
    - once again, a perfectly marvelous conjecture is ruined by your 'facts' - zeitgeist May 5, 13:52
    - and yet they did the Avengers and the lead up to it almost perfectly -- nm - Beaker May 5, 13:50 13
      - the easiest thing to market is a quality product -- nm - Beryllium May 5, 13:55
      - while DC keeps throwing shit against the wall with no master plan -- nm - Beaker May 5, 13:51 11
        
        they've actively said no Justice League movie with current stars in the roles. - Remlik May 5, 13:53 10
        
        Want me to care about anything DC....make it only Batman --- and make sure 100% Superman isn't near it. - Will Hunting May 5, 14:46
        
        Anything they said before yesterday is utterly irrelevant. -- nm - David May 5, 14:15 5
        
        I agree. I think they are rethinking strategy. My hope.... - Remlik May 5, 14:22 4
        
        Bruce Timm and Dini would be great to guide this. Dini is consultant on the saunday cartoon for spiderman - you can tell -- nm - Capstern May 5, 14:38
        
        AND - peglegpete May 5, 14:26 2
        
        agreed -- nm - Remlik May 5, 14:27 1
        
        Now now. Did you notice i this week's Batman book we had a glimpse of the GD Batman? -- nm - Iron Spawn May 5, 15:46
        
        which puts a potential JLA movie a decade away at best...they hate money -- nm - Beaker May 5, 14:14
        
        Just sad. The new superman looks good so far. Batman ok. Just at least need Flash, GL and MM - maybe let Meltzer write it -- nm - Capstern May 5, 14:04 1
        
        Looks good so far? Can I see what you are seeing because what I have seen looks like a bad joke. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 5, 15:39
Dang, there's already a line for the 2:30 showing... - Stephen May 5, 13:28
