I just watched the Spirit trailer, and jesus is it terrible. After it was over my first thought was 'has he ever...READ the spirit?' They even use the same fucking title font as Sin City for chrissakes, or at least something really similar.

The crazy part is that Frank Miller has read the Spirit and was friends with Eisner and is doing this movie partly to honor Eisner.

Frank Miller went mad the day the two towers got blown up. And he wasn't exactly an upstanding gent before that.

What's all this crazy talk. That poster is awesome, I'd love to have it on my wall.
Agreed, I love that poster. It's almost like they're on the verge of trying too hard, but it doesn't go over the edge for me, and remains firmly planted in the realm of Awesome.

First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!
Yeah, it looks like the Joker version of the bat signal. I like it, and makes sense within the context of the movie, sorta.
I love the image. The tag line seems like something from a Nike commercial though.

Can someone explain to me why The Spirit trailer looks exactly like a Sin City trailer? Is this a joke or something? I've never read the comics so maybe they are similar?

Frank Miller's entire body of work is the joke; the millions of dollars people will continue to throw at him is the punchline.
I also love Batman, and have been very soured by DKR & DKSA, not to mention his late work. Year One is great, but his style isn't really completely compatible with the characters IMHO...Bruce Timm, Matt Wagner and Jeph Loeb get Batman so much more, even if their diction and tone aren't as distinct. Again, maybe with the exception of Year One, Frank Miller's books are just like Tim Burton's films- they feature Batman, but aren't really Batman stories.

yeah what the fuck
Well you know, the Regan analogs in Hush, the fact that Batman hasn't been around for a while, the gay Joker, catwoman as a old prostitute, and Superman as a tool of the government.
Wait...none of that happened. The only thing similar was Two Face, and the end result of that was completely different. Hell if anything, Hush was just a new version of LH and DV

one of these things is not like the other
You're right about that, I shouldn't put him on the same level as Timm or Wagner. It was more to say, "even Loeb writes better Batman than Miller."
Also, Hush is decent but overrated and in no way shape or form resembles DKR.

um
how is DKR not a Batman story?
i'm not saying it's good or bad, but it's a pretty much a Batman story
also i like year one way better than any of the LH stories
So...
The Iron Man movie looks really good. I hope it is good. Movie trailers are almost a separate thing from the actual movie they advertise. Spider-man movies have had damn good trailers and the movies have been... passable.

After watching the Iron Man trailers I'm wondering if theres any real reason to go see the movie. I feel like I've already seen everything there was to see.

Somebody figure out how to re-do the Max Payne TV shows to fit the concept.

I'll have to reset my Bigfoot traps.
They all laughed. "Furu you live in an apartment building in a city, why do you need Bigfoot traps, I'm calling the police"
That's why.
Yeah... that's kinda lame.

Except the Ozymandias figure. Since those are actually in the comic.
Well, all of the main characters were in Ozy's line of figures.
I love the image. The tag line seems like something from a Nike commercial though.
this is sad because i want to like the movie and now im worried.

It is not very funny at all.
Just one style, but style nonetheless.

but the mystery aspect of it was pretty contrived and it's not really a great Batman story
