    Hahaha, Michael Chabon wrote Spider-Man 2 and this series is called "Hobgoblin."

    It sounds a lot like "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" even if I didn't know Chabon was behind it.

    I went to a Satoshi Kon tribute panel at a Dallas anime con recently and the hosts accused Aronofsky of ripping off Kon. Any credence to that?

    This sounds awesome

    Also since it's an hbo show, and they love recycling actors, I would like the following actors to be involved somehow: Ian mcshane, John hawkes, Michael k williams, Ray Stevenson, James purefoy, Damian Lewis, Clancy brown, and Bret mckenzie.

    Yeah, but at least there's historical precedent for something like this.

    Besides that it's Chabon and Aronofsky. That's pretty exciting I think.

    No

    It's about being the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs.

    my point is that you can boil down anything into a silly sounding concept

    Arronofsky and Chabon bring a lot of creative pedigree, plus the premise itself evokes things like Hellboy, Indiana Jones, and The Invaders which are all things I personally love and I'm sure many of the other people who are excited about this are.

    And HBO's track record is pretty stellar
