It looks pretty good, and borrows a great deal from the original, but without F-Wit and S-Head (and all the other superhero references) this will be a good movie, but not a perfect adaptation.
Ah yes, you thought I forgot about everyone’s favorite Italian crime fighter - Italian Spiderman! Fear not dear readers, for I have my calendar marked for the next 10 weeks so Major Spoilers can bring you another installment of ITALIAN SPIDERMAN!
Take your sad pants off and get that dance hat on as we boogey into the depths of Spider-madness.
We’re going the slacker route today, so don’t expect a lot of updates (it’s a holiday in the states y’all).
Because we haven’t been giving enough love to JustSomeRandomGuy (and Girl).
Want a nice, frank conversation? Corner Greg Rucka and pick a subject. He is anything but restrained, speaking freely and constantly exuding the kind of creative flashpoint from which arises his fascinating array of benchmark characters.
Raised on California’s Central Coast, and schooled at Vassar College and USC, Rucka brings a street sensibility to his work – which has ranged from nearly a dozen novels and several short stories to a daunting list of comics, non-fiction essays and, now, a segment of the highly-anticipated animated film, “Batman Gotham Knight.”
It’s May 22, and that can only mean one thing; ITALIAN SPIDERMAN LIVES!
Or at least the first episode.
Enjoy!
Oh my gosh, that was some good stuff. I love the face ripping, the snake changing, the whole whipping the shotgun out from under the table and blasting the hell out of everyone.
Oh, yeah, Italian Spiderman Ro><orz!
I love seeing Batman taking down Sub-Zero as only MidWay can do.
I really, really hope this is a kick-ass game and not a toned down kid friendly game that sucks the life out of both Mortal Kombat and the DCU
I’m hip deep in stuff today, so forgive the over abundance of video today. But at least it is something, and at least it is something good.
Because it wouldn’t be a Friday without Italian Spiderman.
This trailer came out quite some time ago, before the release date was pushed to May 22.
Last week we featured the great William Shatner in our Friday Sing-a-Long. To keep the haters at bay, we decided to let Lenard Nimoy join in the fun.
Hey, isn’t that Erin Gray of Buck Rogers fame?
Kevin Conroy had studied for and starred on the stage, advanced his career through soap operas, and was featured in television series like “Dynasty” and “Tour of Duty.” He had no idea that stepping into a sound booth in 1991 to audition for his first cartoon voiceover role would forever cement his place in the annals of animation and help to extend the Batman legacy to untold legions of fans.
Conroy quickly became the Batman voice by which all others are judged – and rarely assessed as an equal. He has cast a loud shadow in voicing the Dark Knight and Bruce Wayne for 17 years, beginning with “Batman: The Animated Series” and continuing through 16 films, video games and animated series (covering more than 220 episodes). He reprises the role in triumphant fashion in “Batman Gotham Knight,” the highly-anticipated third film in the ongoing series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 movies.
“Batman Gotham Knight” will arrive July 8, 2008 on DVD and Blu-Ray disc, and will also be available that day On Demand via digital cable and for download through broadband sites. The film is produced as a collaboration between DC Comics, Warner Premiere, Warner Home Video and Warner Bros. Animation. The film will receive its world premiere at Wizard World Chicago in late June.
From his home in New York City, Conroy spoke at length about the film, his ongoing relationship with the character, and the surprising manner in which he first approached and procured the role of Batman.
Sounds like NBC is ripping the theme of Villains from DC’s Villains Win theme taking place over the next year.
But, I’m a sucker for this series, and as long a my TiVo continues to capture the show on time and in HD, I’ll sit down once a month for my Heroes marathon.
It’s not the best copy, but it is a pretty cool theatrical trailer for television viewers.
It’s still going to be the best movie of the summer.
Man, I long for the days of toys like MEGO Hulk and Spider-Man
