Captain Incredible: A comic book Q&A

October 9th, 2008

Oh the names of the people I get through here :), I have a suspicion that ‘Capt.’ Incredible is not really a Captain at all, I mean he does defend Neptune and all but would they really get a Captain?  Maybe a Commander…

At any rate he’s been a welcome addition on the blogroll for quite a while now and it’s always a pleasure to talk comics with Captain Incredible…

Third Bale Batman villain suggestion: Killer Croc?

August 11th, 2008

OK I have been racking my brain trying to work out who would be a really cool villain for the third Bale Batman movie and I keep drawing blanks, well not really but I keep dismissing the ones I’m coming up with.

There are rumours that Catwoman will be making an appearance, I don’t quite see her as a full fledged villain as she has always walked that very fine line and besides she is simply a jewel thief (no she doesn’t steal barefoot blond singers… ooooooh obscure).   At the very least she isn’t enough to really carry a film, not on her own, especially with what has come before.   I mean great character in Batman Returns but this is a whole different bat bag.

I thought maybe the Riddler given a make over and taken seriously but I’m not convinced.

The other villain I was thinking after watching the anime Gotham Knights is Killer Croc but given the big screen makeover, it would be really hard but maybe it’s doable, of course I worry it may just be a Penguin clone story from Batman Begins again.   Off-cast mutant kind of dude type of thing.

Of course again the story has to be impressive enough to top Dark Knight and I’m not sure that Killer Croc can do it.

Just not Bane, oh god I couldn’t take any more of that shit, Bane never impressed me as a villain and Batman and Robin sure as hell proved that he can really look like a tool on the big screen.

So who do you guys and girls think?   Let’s put some predictions out there and see how we go!
