I read the first couple pages in the book shop the other day but they only had it in hardback so I didn't bother buying it... If it's not all that I might just go back and read it in the shop instead of waiting to pick it up in paperback...

 

Shame, because I really enjoyed the first book.

calling all Batman fans:

 

I have heard that Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: A Death In The Family are all very good reads.

Would I (as someone who rarely reads comic books) be able to pick them up and enjoy them, or do i have to be a fan-boy and know the complete history of everything in the Gotham City universe

You should be fine with all 3

I echo that, they're all pretty accessible and very brilliant.

 

I also read Kick Ass 2 over the weekend, it has it's moments but isnt great. I can't imagine most of it being used for a film either, no one is going to want to distribute a film with some of those scenes in it so my guess it's large chunks will be re-written. I quite enjoy the first Kick Ass movie for what it is, I was a big fan of the initial series when I first read it. The Hit Girl series has started quite well though so I guess they'll use stuff from that in the next film.

Exactly what I thought.SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

I can just see them using the 2 rival groups and having the Mother Russia character. Cage is back so the majority of the Hitgirl story will have to change as well

Batman: Year One is the best ever Batman book. I don't rate The Dark Knight Returns like most do. You'll be fine with both but I'd recommend Batman: Year One out of the two and it's a great origin tale.

(Kick ass movie and book 2 spoilers)

<-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler

I just assumed Nic Cage would be appearing in flashbacks, he died pretty definitively. The Mother Russia character was a highlight of the second book. That and the recurring shark joke.

Like those two reels alot. Daredevil is one of my favourite Superheroes actually, its nice to see it going back to Marvel. I reckon they have the power to get it moving. I didnt think the film was all that bad, but it certainly wasnt amazing or anything. Hopefully Joe Carnhan gets a go wherever the rights land.
