uh marvel ?
dont you mean DC ?

What does Marvel have to do with it?

same thing.

Okay. Yes DC. This is how little I read comics.

tell the share holders ceo's writers artists and editors of those companies that
not too mention the fans

a million angry nerds ..err comic book fans wil growl in outrage with a million angry blogs being written and forums will asplode

...sounds like a movie actually

and this is how serious those two companies take their repsective characters and stories

that crossover there didnt just happen
let alone these days
hmm its just in the description
and at the end of the trailer ;p

and still no mention off bill finger co creating batman !
...rgh

That's one of my little pleasures in life.

But seriously, from a european reader's viewpoint, the "superhero" genre is so specific that these distinctions become mere legal nitpicking. It's like arguments about coca and pepsi.

Well technically thats accurate but it was clearly used to differentiate it from the previous standalone Batman trilogy as this wasn't going to be an isolated world where Superman is the only hero. As for the tv shows I am not following them currently but that easter egg was probably a hint at batman which is all they can do for now until permission is given by WB to use batman in the shows. :)

I can tell the difference.

Damn, so I'm not european? One learns something new every day...

Seriously, it's like saying Star Wars and Star Trek are the same thing. Also, I prefer Coca-Cola. Cherry Coke even better.

*points at where i am from *
i dont just read soopa hero comics ;p but all the new comics i buy tend to be of the non super hero variety
used comics on the other hand

and yeah i can tell the difference between coke and pepsi too
pepsi is a lot sweeter

and there is actuallya huge difference between dc and marvel comics but its easily boiled down to this

marvel comics : their "heroes" are usually mistrusted feared or hated or just about tolerated and the public opinion of them is easily swayed ( see spiderman and the xmen )
and the characters tend to be seriously flawed

dc comics :
the characters are almost universally trusted and loved by the public and establishments
and they are almost demi gods ( avegers vs justice leauge by kurt busiek and george perzez plays on this juxtaposition )
and dc reboots their whoel fucking universe every 5 years
...they seem to be quite fond of that which makes it hard to get invested because ina few years it will al be wiped clean again anyway
a new one is coming on

one of the reasons i stopped reading soopah hero comics
captain skywalker the empire's bird of prey has decloaked !

raise the shield mr bacca ! arm photon torpedoes !

Ok, I'll keep that in mind to remember who batman belongs to.

Actually the last reboot like the New52 happened in 1985.

is that before or after frank miller got his hands on him ?

and batman is just one character
he is the psycho the rest isnt

before that he was broody these days he is either unhinged or totally cracked
depending on the writer

just stay away from the 50's and 60's batman comics then
unless you have a high camp tolerance

dc has been trying to undo crisis on infinite worlds since ... lets see 1994 if i recal correctly
makes you wonder why they bothered

I never kept up with comics. I don't really like soap operas, and that's how an awful lot of them strike me. But I love Batman. I read Frank Miller Batmans and loved them.

I saw the Man of Steel movie on Father's Day with my wife. I enjoyed it a lot, so am considering going to see this film. I guess I've got some time to make up my mind, huh?

It looks interesting to me. For context, I have not watched any of the Iron Man/Thor/Avengers/Etc movies and probably will not.

This trailer looks promising to me.

I'm actually quite familiar with superheroes. I don't like them at all (especially on comics form), but I find them interesting as a cultural product, so I end up reading a lot on them, indirectly.

And yeah, the 60s camp amuses me, on video, as I prefer when they do not attempt to take themselves seriously with such material (the West series feels like they are straightforward mocking the genre). But on comic format... the intention of the author seems to change more than the actual content.

Still, even the superficial evolutions are interesting to follow.
