DC Comics reveals a teaser for their 52 mystery lady. “Pandora”

DC Comics and Warner Brothers Hit back with The Dark Knight Rises.

As many of  may have already heard both Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale are out of the Batman movie game. We all know that these guys together have been a great addition to the batman film lore. Some may argue the fact that Nolan’s Batman films were the best. I’m not hear for that. What I want to encourage people to think about is where things will go from here. The comic book genre of films is getting clogged, but DC Comics has yet to leave a massive impact. Beside the bat and the kryptonian. And Speaking of the last son of Krypton, Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel will surely leave an impression on all of us. One way or another.

There are so many directors, actors and writers that can take the helm from here.But who should be the one to do it? And what form of the Dark Knight will grace the screen? What do you think? I personally would enjoy seeing a more superhero Batman. I know you figure you’ll get more of the Batman with nipples going on. But you won’t. If the film makers can immerse themselves in the world of the Dark Knight. I’d love to see the real batman uniform. The black and gray suit. Everyone that’s familiar with comics will know that Jim Lee came up with an ultra cool way to have batman with the suit and close to real as a comic book character need to be. There was a metal mesh under the suit. Made similar to chain mail. Also make him more fantastical. It’s a comic movie. have fun with it. Bruce Wayne has the training of an elite ninja and the mind of the greatest detective. “Sherlock Holmes” ring a bell!?!? His fighting style should be a cross between Jason Bourne and Donnie Yen (ANY MOVIE). And his mind should work the way Holmes mind works in these new Sherlock Holmes films. HMMM……. Should Guy Richie direct a Batman film?? Anyway, Batman is a man, yet more than any man. He can figure anything out. Fight anyone. And take more punishment than is allowed in comics, for a “man”. He loves all his high tech toys and will be just as dangerous without it. A master planner and detective. A master in various forms of hand to hand combat. And a man with a psychotic grudge against crime. That is Batman. That is the Dark Knight.

As far as not having Robin in the movie that just selfish. You have to have someone from the bat family in the series. It should be Robin. Dick Grayson is the man. Even as a little boy he has what it takes to be a disciple of Bruce Wayne.  It has to be a kid this time. A real ten year old. You can always use a child gymnast to do the flipping stunt work for the actor. Go the extra mile and a real Robin the Boy Wonder. And need I point out the Teen Titans cartoon and Batman The Animated series. Perfect tablets for Robin are right there. Don’t forget to play Batman Arkham City. If you make three more Batman films you can grow Dick up through out the movies. Introduce him in the first film. Have him actually don the suit in a little after the credits shot. The movie ends with Alfred looking fir Dick in the batcave. And as Alfred finds  him, he drops his tray and says,”My word Master Grayson, this was unexpected”. You don’t see him him then. The credits roll for a bit and then it comes back on. Out of the shadows steps not Dick Grayson, but Robin with staff in hand. He say’s laughingly, “  Gotham was freaked when Bruce showed up. Wait till they see me”!!! In the second movie we get to see the Boy Wonder in all his glory. In the third film tension is high between the dynamic duo. Film ends with Robin leaving Gotham. Again after the credits we see Dick Grayson take on his Nightwing persona.  that is how you do a trilogy.

Of course the villains have to be awesome. Always reference comic and animated series. I’d love to see Clayface. It would also bring Batman into “super villain” category. It lends itself to a semi horror story. Robin is still just a kid and Clayface would terrify him. Mr. Freeze should be last. He’s one tough cookie. Having Batman and Robin at each others throats and needing one another at the same time gives the movie more life.  As for a villain for the first film it should be some one more human. The Riddler or Hugo Strange. A manipulator to throw Batman through the ringer as he tries to cope with having Dick Grayson in his home.

Well that’s what I think anyway. But I’m just some guy that writes all this for kicks, right? Some think so, but who can tell. See you in the funny papers!!!!!!!!!!

The Dark Knight Vs Bane. When are we going to see a real trailer. This is getting exhausting.

Somethings in this world are just worth sharing. And anything by Alex Ross is just that. I really wish I had the money for this piece of work. If you don’t know here is a quick list of the heroes. Real quick. Teen Titans, Doom Patrol, The Metal Men, The Marvel Family, Batgirl, John Stewart,Supergirl, Mera and her baby.

There is no doubt that Geoff Johns and Jim lee are a force to be reckoned with in the comic book industry. With the new 52 that DC Comics has unleashed many readers old and new would just buy all of them. But truth be told, many of us just don’t have the money to try all of the titles to see which we enjoy. So for the readers that are not loaded in the pockets: I give you FHTI Spotlight. If there was only one comic you could start your collection with within the DC Universe it should be Justice League. Many are complaining how slow the story started. But this is how things are done in real writing. Each character gets some face time. They even fight one another. And then you get the pay off. The SUPER BATTLE with no holds barred.

Also DC Comics has given thought to the digital age. The poly-bagged versions of these comics come with a digital comic. So If you love comics and have a tablet device, this is for you. The comic book industry is moving forward and yet adhering to the original format. it’s coll and exciting to see this.
