This Is Usually Named The WORST Batman Film Of The Franchise

And the reasons Fanboys say this are multiple in number.

Perhaps the most controversial item to come out of  Director Joel Schumacher’s attempt at mixing the 'grim and grittiness' with 'campiness' was a little addition made to the bat suit.

The addition was 'nipples' to the bat suit.  Boy did that get the Fanboys riled up!

Additionally it was the terrible script, ridiculous costuming, garish sets, and uninspired direction which are most mentioned when this Film is brought up to Batman fans!

This film 'celebrated' its' 10th Anniversary this year... but Fanboys consider that it almost killed the 'Batman' Film Franchise for good, until 'Batman Begins' was recently released!

10th Anniversary of 'Steel' the Film

It was a superhero action-adventure film that was based on the DC Comics character of the same name.

The movie which was released on August 15th 2007, was considered a huge disappointment both critically and financially.

The film 'Steel' was produced for an estimated $16,000,000 but grossed only $1,686,429 at the box office during its' run!

Today, this movie is almost always included in everyone's Top 10 WORST Comic Book Movies of all time!

Believe it or not, I've not seen this one, and was only researching it because we have some 'Steel' Comics that we picked up for sale!

Beowulf Movie Trailer

Here Are Tina's Thoughts on the preview program she attended at the San Diego Comic Con on the movie:

Neil Gaiman and director Roger Avery gave Comic Con fans a first look at a 2-D trailer for the upcoming movie 'Beowulf', (Paramount Pictures, November 16th, 2007)!

The digitally enhanced live action is their attempt to 'tell the oldest story in the English language', said Gaiman, 'with the technology we have today'.

To me it was a little creepy and alienating, but maybe Angelina Jolie just creeps me out...

Jolie's part of what Gaiman calls his 'bull---- casting'. Gaiman continues with 'You know the game we all play, who would you cast for...??'

Holed up in Mexico writing the screenplay and drinking too much beer Gaiman and Avery speculated on their dream cast; Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, John Malkovich and Crispen Glover.  They were amazed when everyone said yes!

Well, in November we'll see if the the movie is a dream or a nightmare...
