Join the fight with Batman

Here is a VERY cool CGI video from YouTube. It shows Batman flying around Gotham fighting Joker, Catwoman, and Mr. Freeze! It's a-la-Burton. Cool. Blur Animation Studios created this CGI movie for Warner Bros to use in one of those "Virtual Ride" events at one of their Six Flags theme parks.

BATMAN vs. WATCHMEN

OK, not really verses......but
The Dark Knight is to movies, what Watchmen was/is to comics. Legitimization.
We all know by now that Dark Knight won 2 Academy Awards in February, including Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger. This represents the first time that a comic book movie has been awarded an Oscar. Comic book movies have always been main-stream, but only because of the fans. Now the critics are involved...giving the greatest "thumbs up" a picture can get.
The same was true for The Watchmen. When it was first published, it was the first graphic novel to appear on the New York Time's best seller list. Once again, the comic book genera is getting critical acclaim.
No longer are comic geeks crouching in shadows....we are out in the main stream making normal people fell uneasy and unworthy.
Why so serious?

Who is watching the WATCHMEN....rake in the dough?

The WATCHMEN in it's opening weekend, has made $55.7 million , domestically. Another great score for the comic/graphic novel genera. For all the stats.....here.

Spider-Man the Musical

why do people think this is a good idea????? WHY???
Do they really think the fan-boys are going to want to watch their heroes jump around dancing and singing??? WTF? I know they tried to get a Batman: The Musical off the ground years ago. Jim Steinman of Meatloaf fame was composer, but at least WB had the sense to pull the plug on it.
