@Stever-Guy: I didn't even think about selling it to Sci-Fi. This would be right up their alley!

There's something really enticing about downtrodden superheroes that draws people in, and Heroes banks in on that in a way that X-men never quite makes it on film though the comic does. This looks a little more absurd and may be nothing more than a good laugh, but I for one will at least keep this in mind for good sick-on-the-couch fodder.

@ZappBrannigansGirdle: Let's toss that around for a couple of versions of the script Making lots of nice $$ with every revision, of course), and then blend in the Dirt Dragon / Graboids from the TREMORS Franchise, and sell it as a SciFi Channel movie!

@Stever-Guy: Heck, let's take the superheroes out of the equation and just make a movie about a flying shark vs. a flying whale. Anyone want to start the script?

I actually think that looks quite interesting. I'm ashamed to say that this is the first I've heard of it, especially given my light following of Jason Bateman since Arrested Development.
I will certainly be anticipating hearing more about the movie.

I'm actually looking forward to it in a sort of guilty-pleasure sort of way. If they can maintain the trailer's level of comic destruction and mayhem and avoid turning it into another sappy movie about love being a catalyst to redemption, it should be enjoyable.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and maybe Agent J ... that's all I will partake.

There was more destruction in that clip then in the entire (ang lee's) Hulk movie.

@engtech That's what's missing from city of heroes, the ability to be a dick (other than pulling too much aggro and killing off your entire team repeatedly).

the initial bit of the plot synopsis reminds me of *every* superhero RPG campaign I've ever been in.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and there's nothing like superpowers to turn you into a social degenerate.

@Electroqueen: Yes it was tar...which was BS because that isn't even an element. Everything else was, so I'm sure the lab that cooked up the fake kryptonite was all WTF?!?!?

With the whale bit, maybe he could do battle with Uma Thurman's G-Girl; one flinging a whale at the other one, flinging a shark. I imagine that the two could go at each other for a while, maybe taking the heat off Matt Saunders for a bit. It would make a nice mash-up, eh?

@Mercurypdx: Yes I think it was tar. You know, that stuff they use on asphault.

Hmmmm I don't have high hopes for this. Jason Bateman has the ability to cover a multitude of suck with awesome delivery and timing. We'll see!

Hancock and Tonight, He Comes . At least make it a little easier to come up with pornified versions of the title.

"that weird fake Kryptonite"

Didn't RP replace the "Unknown" with something from the side of his pack of cigarettes? :)

Holey! Charlize Theron AND Jason Bateman? The romance that could be. Shame, she cheats on him.

The whale bit at the end is hilarious. Hopefully the rest is just as good.

But with titles that rip off Heroes and Superman, how could it be bad?
