Wow, that's even more creepy than the real one!

 

[SpideyFan866]

Guys, you should all know that its is very unlikely that we will get any significant marketing stuff/news until Chris Nolan has edited at least 3/4 or all of TDKR.

Why? Chris Nolan himself is probably presiding pver what footage goes out for trailers and what doesn't.

I honestly doubt he'll do that job until he's done editing.

I honestly don't epect any trailers or promo shots of the cast until late-april to late May.

 

[Naked Shia]

that's probably true, but Hope is all we have left right now.

So, has anyone heard about this new Bat-Man movie coming out in July? I guess he's mostly called The Bat-Man, or something. That kid from Newsies is playing him.

But seriously, here's a thought for the morning, as I drink my coffee. It is currently 7:36AM here, and this popped into my head as I was brushing my teeth (which, by the way, I bought a new toothbrush that was labeled "Firm" - I usually buy "Soft" or "Medium" but took a chance with "Firm"; don't ever buy "Firm". It's like a sand blaster that makes you bleed all over the place and makes your coffee extra brown and coppery.)

Robert Downey Jr. essentially plays a version of Batman in two different roles:

1. Sherlock Holmes - World's Greatest Detective, master of the martial arts.
2. Iron Man - Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist who uses his money to fight crime.

And thank you.

1) Sherlock Holmes inspired Batman detective side

2) Iron Man is the Marvel equivalent of Batman

While there are similarities between Iron Man and Batman, I think there are more differences actually.

Yeah but can you think of anyone who can be considered his equivalent Iron Man and maaaaaybe Moon Knight.

I understand your point indeed. I've always thought Batman and Daredevil had a lot of common.

 

[camp Blood]

first thing that comes to mind is ironman uses guns and deadly weapons

 

[SpideyFan866]

To be totally honest, while DC heroes and Marvel heroes have similarities, none really qualify as equivalents.

The only DC and Marvel characters that can consider themselves equivalents are Darkseid and Thanos.

yeah, I agree with you on both accounts.

 

[Rocketman]

Marvel's equivalent of Batman is like:

Wolverine
Punisher
Daredevil
Iron Man
Moon Knight

Literally, take the right ingredients here and there from each character, and you have precisely Batman.

While Superman is like:

Thor (an "alien" from another world who is a god)
Captain America
Sentry

Basically, what Marvel does with 8 characters, DC does with 2.

Namor..Aquaman?

So Basically, Bats and Supes would be enough to take on the Avengers and all marvel super heroes. Seems fair enough.

 

[Naked Shia]

Namor..Aquaman?

Haha, how can you say that when Namor has black hair and Aquaman has blond hair?

Actually, yes.

Personally I think that makes Marvel characters better than DC characters in certain ways. Marvel characters aren't godlike in their attributes. Most Marvel superheroes have a few if not a single power.

I like my to be able to identify with my heroes. The more human the better.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Namor..Aquaman?

Namor is a badass and no one likes Aquaman.

Like really, if you were cosplaying with friends and you had to be Namor or Aquaman, would you really pick Aquaman?

Not totally true. He was damn awesome in the brave abd the bold cartoon. It was one of the best characters.

Some Expo updates:

* WB also might have something interesting during the 14th of March.
* The 15th of March presentation is going to last for an hour and a half.

Awesome work as always RIM.

What's the name of that Russian Expo again?
