With the films based on comic books [Hulk, Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Daredevil etc.] and the TV shows based off of comic characters [Lois and Clark, The Flash, Batman, Spider-Man, etc.], I just wanted to see what people thought about comic books. [and if you like them, favorite titles?]

 

Little known fact about me...I have been collecting comic books for years

For me, it has always been and will continue to be all about Batman

I like Batman and all, but

I don't collect comic books cause I don't read

but I love comic book superheroes nonetheless..

The whole thing is just great

My faves

`Preacher: A preacher teams up with his girlfriend and a drunken Irish vampire to track down God and hold him accountable for leaving Heaven while encountering hitmen and other fun obstacles along the way...and oh yeah he has the power of "the Word" which makes people do whatever he says when he uses it. Garth Ennis wrote this series like a masterpiece.

 

`Transmetropolitan: A journalist in the future has two write two more books or he dies. So, he takes on the evils of The City.

 

`Punisher: Garth Ennis writes again. Anything this guy touches is gold...except for when he does heroes with super powers.

 

`Fury: They recently brought back Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD for a limited series...again written by Ennis. f***ing brilliant stuff...everything.

Call me mainstream, but I'm all about the Big 3... Batman, Superman, and Spiderman.

I grew up a big fan of Garfield and Friends myself!

When the hell did Garfield become a comic book superhero??!?!

Frank Miller's Batman stuff is pretty good.

 

I found it eerie that he was working on a scene where Batman was driving a flying Batmobile into Metropolis buildings in the days before 9/11. Batman will always have a special place with me because I f***ing love the Joker...and who can hate a title that kills off that little asshole, Jason Todd?

The SPAWN cartoon on HBO a few years back was f***ing TIGHT! Too bad they f***ed SPAWN up with that incredibly s***ty movie.

Garfield, Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, and Mother Goose & Grim...

I didn't think the first SPAWN movie was that bad..but it could've been alot more killer

You have good taste in Batman story authors.

 

That's the reason I'm so looking forward to the next Batman movie sans the guy who f***ed up the franchise with "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin"..... even though, I thought, "Batman Forever" was tolerable. Frank Miller is writing the screenplay and the director of "Memento" is going to direct. I've heard the next Batman movie will be along the lines of "The Dark Knight Returns" with Kurt Russell playing the Caped Crusader.

Garfield, Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, and Mother Goose & Grim...

Are you trying to be funny? Are you Mr. Funnyman?!?! Mother Goose and Grim?!?!?

Batman Forever was terrible... First off.. Batgirl is not Alfred's niece, she's Barbara Gordon, Commisioner Gordon's daughter... Hollywood crap! :fyou

That is the worst part of comic book movies in Hollywood. Batman and Robin did it with too many f***ing characters and changing their origins to fit the storyline. Batman and Robin had the namesakes, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Mr Freeze, AND Bane. I mean, what the f*** happened to just Batman and a villian and, if absolutely necessary for Hollywood, Robin? The last Batman movie was f***ing awful. It was all downhill after Tim Burton became an Executive Producer of the Batman franchise instead of Director. Hopefully, this next movie will get it right. If Hollywood stays true to Frank Miller's script, I guarantee the best Batman movie will be made of them all.

 

BTW..... I think you're thinking of "Batman and Robin". Batgirl wasn't in "Batman Forever". "BF" was the one with Jim Carrey and Val Kilmer.

When the hell did Garfield become a comic book superhero??!?!    

He saved Jon Arbuckle's live many times by eating all his food, allowing Jon to not have high levels of cholesterol!!!

superman. i was into the old ninja turtles. love the tick.

Not that crappy movie!!! I'm sure he's talkin about the cartoon...But the first TMNT movie was pretty good...

There was a good TMNT movie ?

not the cartoon... but it was ok.... i am talking about the black and white comic.... the turtles kicked ass

No mention of the Archie's? Man, they might not have been the biggest superheros, but they were the rockinest band!

Speaking of crappy comic book movies, who can forget that 80s pile of monkey love, The Punisher? Jesus H. Christpunchers did that movie suck ass. Here's to hoping the 2004 one is much better.

 

The Batman movies started out pretty good. I loved the first one but as they got more and more sequels it became about marketing the name and making money hand over fist instead of making a quality movie.

Are you trying to be funny? Are you Mr. Funnyman?!?! Mother Goose and Grim?!?!?

 

Whats wrong with Mother Goose and Grim? I like that cartoon...
