    Just watched Hulu's new documentary about how Bob Kane hoodwinked the world into thinking he created Batman.


    A sad story about Bill Finger who died in poverty without getting the credit he deserved.

    Batman and Bill.

    Haven't seen this yet, thanks for linking. It's a sad story and only recently have DC begun crediting Bill Finger, with comics and movies now saying "Batman created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger". Far too late now but it's something at least. I'll watch this documentary tomorrow, looking forward to it.

    I listen to a podcast called heroes and villains that reviewed it and they were really angry at it, mainly because the documentarian was making out no one gave a damn about finger before he rushed to his aid (and it's true I've probably been aware of the shafting of Finger/ Seigel and Schuster/ Peter for probably decades), and stayed away from the real juicy stuff (it was in DC's interest not to acknowledge Finger as doing so would invalidate the deal Kane struck with them).

    Finally got around to watching Blade the series it wasn't great but it also wasn't as bad as I was expecting either.


    I really would love to see Marvel reboot Blade either in the film MCU or even better on Netflix.

    Weird, I was just talking about this series last night and how I never got past maybe the second episode despite it being fine.

    Film or Netflix would be good with me but I'd probably also lean towards Netflix.

    For me Wesley Snipes Blade really doesn't get the credit it deserves for kickstarting the modern *Marvel films and I would love to see Blade given a backing and I would also pick Netflix.


    *X-Men seems to get that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Next up is the Birds of Prey series.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    Couldn't agree more. People always credit X-Men and even Spider-Man with kicking it all off but Blade got there first and was, imo, much better than either of them. I tried to go see it in the Savoy when it came out but I was in first year and the guy wouldn't let me in. Ended up having to wait til it was out on video and buying it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    That opening scene of Blade is still one of the greatest starting points to any movie.

    Snipes just got Blade.


    NSFW



    Sh1t I'm off to watch Blade now.

    I dunno how/if it could work but I'd lean towards some form of tier 2 universe, the comics universe always felt a little over stuffed and I worry the same is happening with the MCU. Blade totally deserves another shake but throwing vampires et al into the MCU feels weird. Maybe some parallel universe, ring fencing tone appropriate works together...

    They opened the door for it on AoS with Darkhold.


    For me Blade really does deserve to have his place in the MCU you could stick him on a Netflix series in the same way the Defenders are there once that run is over.

    They are part of the MCU but not directly linked as such.


    There was talk of doing a Marvel Knights run on Netflix the same way they did The Defenders and I think that would work.

    A Blade series
    A Ghost Rider series
    A Moon Knight series

    They could even do a Man-Thing series


    Bring them altogether as a team in the end.

    Wouldn't be into Man-Thing but Nighthawk would be a cool fourth to that team...

    I love going back and watching Blade now. You're both 100% correct never gets the credit it deserves- I love watching it kinda half defining what super hero films would be for the next decade after years out in the cold.

    Just watched this. Got me in the feels


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    So now that Infinity War footage has been seen publicly, I have to avoid the Upcoming MCU movies thread... does anyone else avoid trailers, footage, news etc like I do? I full on leave my fiancée sitting alone in the cinema when Marvel trailers come on. I just leave the screen. But when the movie roll around and literally every moment is fresh to me, I'm always really thankful for that.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    Leaving the screen seems a bit much! :eek: :) But honestly, I try to find a balance: trailers can be a bit risky, but by and large the MCU trailers don't tend to be as spoilerific as other studios' so I'm happy to watch them. Generally, I like to get some sense of how a film is shaping up, visually tonally etc. anyway and promos / trailers are as good a way as any. The D23 stuff is easily avoided while it's still just written transcripts imo...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    Yep, most people would likely agree that it's a bit much... I just like to go in with no expectations. For example, the trailers for Civil War apparently showed practically no plot BUT because I avoided all marketing stuff, I went in not knowing Ant-Man was in it, not knowing which side anyone was on (bar the obvious that Falcon would side with Cap and Rhodey would side with Iron Man), not knowing who the villain was etc. A friend told me that the Cap & Winter Soldier vs Iron Man fight was featured in the trailer and, even though it seemingly gave nothing away, he was kinda always waiting for it. By that very fact, it gave loads away because when they arrived at the base, I was convinced that their rivalry was over, whereas he knew there was a fight to come!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,603 ✭✭✭IncognitoMan


    It's something I wished I had the will power to do but I watch a lot of YouTube shows and videos and inevitably when a new trailer drops most, if not all the channels will cover those new trailers in their content.

    And it's kinda all part of the build up to a big film, the excitement of a new trailer and people talking about what they noticed and speculation about what might happen. So I do enjoy it as well.

    I wished at times studios would be more mindful about the stuff they release but at the end of the day it's the marketing teams job to get as many people in the cinemas as possible so they will use stuff that maybe they should hold back.

    The Spider-man trailers almost completely showed the
    entire boat scene including the fact that IronMan comes to the rescue and then shows Tony asking for the suit back.
    Way way too much for a trailer imo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    Yeah, I almost wish I could get involved in the hype to be honest. It's a balancing act, I guess!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,603 ✭✭✭IncognitoMan


    For sure though if you can keep away, the experience in the cinema is so worth it.

    Some of my favorite films from the last couple of years have usually been ones I've gone in knowing very little to nothing about. I suppose it helps when you aren't sitting there waiting for certain scenes you've seen in a trailer to show up or have over hyped expectations because the trailers were so good. I think you're probably able to make any film look half decent if you cut the right trailer. Actually I think there's a YouTube channel out there that does such things.

    Obviously there's little to no chance of this happening, but I'd really like it if studios started working it so that trailers don't show scenes beyond a certain point in a film. Say for example in a 2 hour film only show footage from the first 50/60 minutes. It would be nice knowing you've got so much unseen going into every film but that's dreamland stuff really.

    I'll be going to see Dunkirk next week having seen almost nothing of the marketing in the lead up so I'm really looking forward to that.

    The superhero stuff is very difficult to avoid. The marketing budgets on the them make sure of that. I'm not sure I could go totally dark on something like Infinity War for the guts of a year.

    Didn't spot him myself when I saw the film, but seems like James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy 2) is like myself a fan of Farscape, and asked Ben Browder to cameo in the film:

    Hello fellow superhero lovers! Super excited to have found this forum. Hopefully will bump up this thread :)

    I wanted to share with you guys a game I’m running over on Forum Games. It’s a Marvel Cinematic Universe themed PEEHS game.

    https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057996797/1

    If you’re more of a DC fan or if you’re like me and you don’t discriminate against universes then we also have a Batman themed Werewolf game starting soon too!

    https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057991943/1/#post110544613

    I really wanted to share these with like minded folks and after a little digging and assistance from a couple of mods I’ve found the perfect place. I do hope some of you come over and join in on the shenanigans, there’s so much fun to be had!

    Thanks for reading and thanks so much mods for allowing me to post, it’s much appreciated :D

    Bumping this thread, and slightly quiet forum for an interesting question posed by Patrick H Willems: are the Joel Schumacher Batman films unfairly maligned?

    I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced, but Willems puts forward a compelling and genuine argument that they are:

    I thought I remembered a Spawn remake/reboot/sequel in the works but there's nothing on his IMDB.

    Sounds like the person you'd want behind the scenes for a spawn film

    Just a rumor, but it sounds like the unpopular Marvel TV stuff will definitely be rebooted (like Inhumans and possibly Iron Fist), while the more popular characters could live on in the MCU either in movies or on Disney+...

    I would say they importance of SDCC is really going to take a hit post covid, everyone is going to be used to just doing their own events.

    Across the globe, convention and office spaces are going to find themselves in trouble once they realise all those departments and companies aren't coming back; just in Dublin the Docklands and environs might suddenly find themselves without a plethora of tenants (those that can break contracts that is).

    As to the topic? Big fat meh. At the risk of coming across all Hipster, I fell out of love with Comic-Con years ago, once taken over by the corporations and became a bit of a Disneyland for nerds. Kinda lost its lustre a little once studios took it over. :D
