Off to see the Hulk tomorrow. Looks good. I've like pretty much all the Marvel movies. What's up with DC? Why aren't they making more movies than just SUPERMAN and BATMAN. Don't get me wrong I like em, but why not expand it? I mean, I'd go see Green Latern or the Martian. I'd even see a FLASH movie although I thought the tv series they made was kinda dorky. They guy went one season and the whole time, 5 secs into bursting speed was exhausted. Kinda makes it hard to be the flash - I much prefer the smallville flash. Also what was up with that old Captain America movie - I think I was like the only one who ever saw it? It was probably the worst hero movie I ever saw. Scratch that I kinda started to watch that movie about S.H.I.E.L.D - that was the worst movie, I ALMOST SAW.

Maybe its cause they just don't know how to pick the actors and the movie fails?
Captain America was who?

How about Wonder Woman? Jessica Biel all the way!!! The girl can act - I liked her in Blade - was convincing in a fight scene and come on - the body - I'd go pay to see that in a wonder woman outfit ;) I mean Beckinsale is gorgeous - I loved her in Underworld but I think I would much rather see Jessica as Wonderwoman. Besides, in a fight, I think Jessica would be able to take her. She just seems more physical and it comes off on film. Besides I don't see wonderwoman with a british accent. Maybe I'm stereotyping her from the tv show and also the cartoons but Wonderwoman was not british.

But the movie is being done by Joss and I have nothing but admiration for him, he's done a great job with everything he has touched and I do like Kate so I'm sure it's going to be a good movie.

My point is, sorry got off track, DC has some great heroes that should see some scene time. I mean it seems like they really are focused on the cartoons and tvseries. The Justic League, smallville, The Batman. etc. I mean the cartoons are well drawn and I guess it allows them to tell more stories but there is nothing like watching a movie. It's more epic usually than a 30 minute episode of something.

How about an anti-hero movie, one with Darkseid and the GODS? or a movie based on Firestorm - I liked that character or Doctor Fate? Maybe there are not alot of DC movies cause some of the characters were kinda dumb or at least had dumb names: elongated man, Mister Miracle, Blue Beedle, or my favorite name killer, Ambush bug - I kid you not, I wikipedia it, there was a DC character called Ambush Bug. For all you non-believers : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambush_Bug

Not that I have anything against Marvel movies, I love them and you have to give it up to Stan Lee, the man is still working hard after all these years. Talk about crossover careers, went from story teller, to comic artist to movie producer, to movie consultant to being in the movies. He's like a renaissance man. We should all have such colorful lives. Anyways, if the bits that make up my blog happen upon the monitor of someone either directly looking to make a hero movie or anyone at DC, you have to make some more movies beyond superman and batman.

I hope Whedon's movie is a hit and he is asked to make more. Just Joss next time you have a woman hero role, consider Biel. How about Black Cat :)
