SpiralTap Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Wasnt green lanturn black?Also I think we all knew Thor was going to be crap as soon as we realise that HHH wasnt going to play the lead role.Say what you want about his acting but he had the line of the film in Blade 3 "We didnt get caught with our pants down we got fucking ass raped!"..yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted July 17, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) I've got a feeling Green Lantern will be really good, I think DC comics have a lot to prove after all the successful great Marvel movies, DC's only hits in the last 20 years have been the Batman ones.Depends how picky you want to get.Watchmen was a hit.And from DC owned prints you have:ConstantineStardustRoad To Perdition.All of which made significant profits and/or got good reviews.Stardust isn't owned by DC. It was a novel. The only time DC got involved was for a comic adaptation of the novel.Wasnt green lanturn black?The Green Lantern that the comics centre around wasn't black - but there are lots of Green Lanterns in the corp. One of them (John Stewart) is black. Edited July 17, 2010 by Chris B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor doesn't have bare arms, WTF?Thor don't have bare arms in his current costume which I prefer out of all his previous. Right you are dude, I'm pretty old school with some of these characters, thanks for the education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted July 17, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2010 True, though he's closer to superhero than Batman is. Constantine does have supernatural powers at least.I actually enjoyed the film, it wasnt a patch on the comics true, but I thought it was pretty good for all that. Horses for courses I guess.

Constantine does have supernatural powers at least.Batman has a functioning moral compass, though.Thats debateable. I mean more because batman has no superpowers and is a 'hero' not a superhero. I made the mistake of saying Batman was a superhero on a superhero forum and got some right shit from the comic version of ROHbots.Besides, Constantine generally does the right thing in the end. Like Han Solo. I actually enjoyed the film, it wasnt a patch on the comics true, but I thought it was pretty good for all that. Horses for courses I guess.I probably would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't laid claim to the title 'Constantine', and then raped the character.True enough, but I think they got the basics right. And thats far better than I expected them to, so I came out of it happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fanboys would possibly get arsey about Bats being a 'vigilante' rather than a superhero, however since he's part of the JLA, I think it can be excused. The thing with John though is that he does what he thinks is the right thing to do. That doesn't always mean that it is - primarily because his moral compass is broken.Incidentally, I think that's one of the things that makes him hands down the best character in comics today. Hell, one of the reasons I write is because I aim to write Hellblazer one day. I actually enjoyed the film, it wasnt a patch on the comics true, but I thought it was pretty good for all that.

Hell, one of the reasons I write is because I aim to write Hellblazer one day.I wouldnt say that Batman does the right thing anymore than what he thinks is the right thing. It all comes down to your views on crime and punishment really. I actually enjoyed the film, it wasnt a patch on the comics true, but I thought it was pretty good for all that.

They couldn't have gotten it any more wrong.Constantine has tried to quit in the past. OK it lasted about 3 frames, but you know. lol Besides, lets see if he smokes in the sequal.

It's bad enough we're almost always portrayed as the bad guys, and then Hollywood has to come along and take away one of the few heroes we've ever had.

SpiralTap Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Wasnt green lanturn black? Â The Green Lantern that the comics centre around wasn't black - but there are lots of Green Lanterns in the corp. One of them (John Stewart) is black. Â Fair enough, I only know of GL from the Justice League cartoons and he was black. Not as cool as Meteor Man starring Bill Cosby though! Â Â Â There's a fun question; Â Who is the best reprisentative hero or villain (super or not) of each culture/race? Â I will go 1st; General Zodd (Kryptonian), bet ya didnt see that one coming?
