I'd love to see Tim Burton's design of the Robin suit. Batman Returns was already close to insane. Robin would have made it pure magic.

@Monsieur.Mind: Where can we find the alternate reality where Burton did the third batman and how do we get there?

I don't care how people trash the Wayans-- Marlon Wayans and family are hilarious, and made good from workin' hard. Some people don't like the hyper-characterization and gag comedy (especially attaching that to black culture; Steppin Fetchit, Mantan?), but Marlon has comedic chops, and has a bigger career ahead of him.

@gods-n-clods: I know these guys from waaaaay back in In Living Color in the early 90s on Fox. Even Jim Carrey did the mugging schtick. Are you sure others are attaching that to black culture, or are YOU attaching it to black culture?
By far the most talented was Damon, and he's out of the game now. Marlon gets a point for Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood, but loses two for Little Man and White Chicks.

@Paul_Is_Drunk: Not me attaching; there was/is resentment at black media figures "mugging" as it relates to old-timey minority portrayals (think "Bamboozled"). I can recall recently both Bill Cosby and Dave Chappelle expressing the idea that any black person acting with exaggeration is demeaning. A double standard with comedic actors for sure, but there are those who think your comedy should be more pure than acting a fool (Cosby's take) or certain things you just shouldn't do (Chappelle's near-phobia about cross dressing black men). And then there's Richard Pryor, to open the can of worms. It's a convergence of comedy and political action, thus mentioning it.
"Little Man" wasn't that bad though. ;)

Why am I so fucking excited for this movie. I don't get it. I'm educated, and normally a discerning movie goer.

@NerD!!! - R.O.A.C.H.: Me too! I'm moderately smart, and enough of a movie buff to know I should want to see this. And yet, I haven't been this excited since Speed Racer. Maybe we're just preparing to eat the awesome.

The one question someone needs to ask Marlon:
"After turning in a solid dramatic performance in Requiem For A Dream, what the hell happened?"

Thank you Marlon Wayans for identifying what this country has been clamoring for, for so very long--another Mask sequel.

Haven't Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely recently published fairly detailed storyboards for the ultimate Superman movie? That was a comic book? Seriously?

How about a Coen Brothers' Superman where a quiet, misunderstood P. I. enlists the help of the real Superman to futilely try to dissuade George Reeves from committing suicide?

Or a Farrely Brothers' Superman, where a world-weary and universally rejected Clark Kent is forced to live in a trailer park and eat dog food while he slowly becomes infatuated with the property manager's daughter?

Do you suppose when they took that photo at the top of the article they all gave Welling shit?

"Hey, Welling, nice jeans. You not get the memo? Where's the S 'n Cape?"

"idonhaveone"

"What? I'm sorry I couldn't hear you."

"I don't have one!"

"Don't you play Superman?!"

"No Flight no Tights. They really stuck to it."

"Get the fuck out of here!! Didn't they give Green Arrow a costume? Hey, you guys get a load of this! Prettyboy doesn't have a costume! HAAAHAHAA"

" ITS NOT MY FAULT!!!"

Please stop making Superman movies. There are far more interesting franchises to work with right now. I'm tired of revamping a series, having it bomb and trying to start it again (Hulk, much?). While I think that Superman Returns wasn't as bad as people say it was, this franchise needs a break. It doesn't really connect with today's audience like it once did. Superman never went through a legitimate maturation that's needed with older superhero icons. I'm speaking, of course, about the film and television adaptions. I think that there was a lot of promise in a show like Smallville, but that show got so far off track, it's not even funny. They need to make Superman more relateable and sympathetic character. Right now he's still a douche with too many powers and no real issues.

And before people jump on this, let me say that a mature Superman doesn't have to be dark. But it does need to be a character that the audience can understand and sympathize with.

@Evlsushi: It needs a break? It got a helluva break between Superman 4(1987) and Superman Returns(2006). And the entire purpose of Returns was to make Supes a "more relateable and sympathetic character", hense the mopey scenes where he spies on Louis w/ his x-ray vision and when he gets incapacitated and goes into a coma instead of just bouncing back from chucking Kryptonite Island.

Well he still wasn't a sympathetic character based on people's feelings about the film. They still hated it, generally speaking. And it needs a break because it doesn't really work with today's audiences and until they can work that kink out, it should be shelved.
