Speaking of Batman, can you guys believe Amazon.com wants $179.99 for the Batman: The Complete TV Series Limited Edition [Blu-ray] ?


God damn... that's like $60 per season for three seasons.


No thanks...

I think the DVD versions may be cheaper. As for box sets and limited edition versions of shows can be quite outrageous. I've seen others more expensive than this with less stuff. Adam West was an awesome Batman/Bruce Wayne and I was watching this interview with him talking about the show and he remembered it quite fondly and basically him and alot of the cast tried to keep everyone laughing and in good spirits during productions of the episodes. Some great stories! "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!" I recently watched the movie a couple months back with friends. Lots of fun!

Yeah I agree and understand with what you're saying. Having Bale team up with Cavill makes more logical sense. I think originally the plan was for Nolan to produce and even direct Justice League after Snyder did Man of Steel 2 and it would all tie together with Levitt and Bale coming back in some way. Bale said he was open to return as Batman only if Nolan was behind the wheel. Not even given huge stacks of money would convince him which I kind of respect the guy for turning that kind of offer. Then Nolan was not on board or even listed to report and consult on Batman v. Superman was the final nail in the coffin. I think MoS was the last comic book film he wanted to be involved with and also I think he didn't want the TDK trilogy to be canon with a DC film-verse that Warner Bros and Zack Snyder have in mind. Plus the movie Interstellar (which looks amazing!) coming out in the next couple months. They could of even made Man of Steel take place during the 8 year gap of between The Dark Knight and Rises too with the Wayne Enterprises satellite showing up during the Supes vs. Zod fight near the end. It's a shame and the possibility of new Batman solo movies taking place in production in a couple years is a tad too soon; but I mean it happens with reboots and wanting to establish a movie canon. Plus I don't Ben Affleck would of taken the role of Batman if he wasn't given a deal where he can produce and help show run some of the new films. I mean he has his Argo writing partner completely re-tooling BvS's script due to David S. Goyer's other commitments. Which could be a good thing to help improve and benefit the new movie. Looking forward to hearing more of the film versions of Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

My only worry is that I hope BvS isn't fully adapted and only uses elements and ideas from the Dark Knight Returns. Because I believe it represents both Batman and Superman as well as other characters at their worst. Batman is a bitter sociopath and wants vengeance. Not the defender of justice, a dark knight, and lives by a code. Also going by Man of Steel and how it was set up and it's movie logic towards the end, the DKR version of Superman would be a huge step backwards for the character. I want BvS to establish the ground work of an understanding relationship/friendship that grows into Justice League and other DC like films. They may not agree and probably try to take down the other due to not knowing their capabilities, trust issues. But eventually realize they need to come together to defeat a common enemy. Which is of course an up and coming rich businessman named, Lex Luthor and probably another side villain.

I believe the man reason the SDCC BvS footage isn't showing to the regular movie going public is because Snyder just wanted to give something to the fans that paid a shit ton of money and waited forever in line to make it to the DC comics entertainment/Warner Bros. Hall H panel. I'm glad the small teaser leaked and it would been better if WB just released it in full HD on Youtube a few days after the convention. Oh well! Plus with a trailer I think he wants to add more footage and bits of plot or dialogue later on for more people to digest and get excited for the film. It's still a few years away. It's going to be a couple months before shooting finishes too.

As for the plot details, I'm taking with a grain of salt. I'm kind of confused of why they still want to have Zod's body or presence within this new film instead of moving forward completely with Supes character. I had a feeling it was going to start right after MoS and they may do a time jump of a couple months or few years after within the movie. If they are going to do a Doomsday kind of kryptonian DNA monster concept, I hope not. Way too soon for Superman to take on any kind of Doomsday fight even with Batman. I'm excited for how Lex is going to portrayed though.

A full teaser trailer with more stuff during the new Hobbit movie in December seems highly plausible. I hope so.

Haven't watched Jumanji in forever. Such a great adaptation and fun movie.

It's a shame we never got Robin Williams in one of Nolans Dark Knight films. Ledgers performance was a classic, but Williams would have been great in another role.

He asked Nolan and his production company to be the Riddler or another villain before Rises was written by Goyer and Nolan. He even asked just for even a smaller villain role if Nolan already had something bigger in mind. WB loved the concept; but Nolan said no and wanted to use Bane as the final villain in this trilogy. I think he was in the running to be the Joker before TDK was in development. I remember reading a story about that.

Damn...! RIP. This is awful. Feel badly for his family, friends, fans, and other loved ones! So many great roles and that energy! He recently finished Night at the Museum 3 and I think a few other TV or movie related projects. Not sure.

I was wondering how Thor would work as a film and I think they did a stellar job. That's what the ww poster reminds me of. A darker, female Thor. She even looks cool.

I liked Thor 2 better than the first. I find the first one with Iron Man 2 to be the weakest of the Marvel Studio films; but I understand the sentiment. Wonder Woman would destroy Thor in my opinion. 16 Just hope Gal has the chops to carry on in not only in this film; but in a full movie franchise as such an important and iconic character. One of my top favorite super heroes.

Well I noticed it was mostly trailer background music judging from the Amazon and Spotify stream descriptions. Did not know Bucket was on another one of the volumes earlier. That's pretty cool. Now one with Bucket, Tobias, and Brain would be sweet.

#499 Re: Guns N' Roses » Ron leaving the band after Vegas? » 639 weeks ago

I feel bad for the guy. He's really nice to the fans and gels so well with the current band. He obviously just doesn't want to just do solos or over dubs on the next album. He wants to write with them and have his own songs and concepts included with Axl's stuff, whatever DJ's given, and what's left in the vault. Also speaking of the vault, he wasn't keen on working on older material now due to some interviews. He wanted to make fresh stuff with this band in play. It's just a situation where he just can't win. Touring helps pay the bills and get some exposure; but that's really about it. He doesn't seem to have much fun. I can understand that. Not bashing him. GNR with the labels and management is just frustrating.

Very interesting instrumentals in the Amazon previews and I guess this is the only release of the trailer volumes of music featuring Brain and Paul Tobias to be fully released online. The last time I heard about Tobias was of course the final studio release of CD and the Mank Range demos that he was supposedly a part of that were streamed on Myspace several years ago. For these pieces of music he may of contributed a bulk of the guitar part recordings and probably co-wrote it with Brain and the other contributors. Not sure.
