Fascinating History Of Wonder Woman: kaptainkristian

eric3579 says...

That seems a bit much for comic books but i have no clue "how real" comic books get as i don't read them.

I don't see that as someone being raped. I think it's more someone who wants to feel dominated. There is quite a market for very powerful people paying good money to be dominated. I've had a friend or two (strong females) who have talked about wanting/enjoying being dominated by lovers. In the real world people don't enjoy being raped but many powerful people get off on being dominated/controlled so i tend to see it from that perspective as it seems more realistic. Although I can see how it could be seen as rape. Hard to know for sure without more background info.

However still seems odd for a comic book.

Curious if Miller has said anything regarding this? I did a quick google and didn't find anything on the implication that Superman raped Wonder Woman.
"In Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again, which also takes place in the future, Clark and Diana had a superpowered daughter called Lara, after Superman’s Kryptonian mother, whom they protected from the government. In typical Miller style, the relationship was memorably… intense:" http://comicsalliance.com/the-many-loves-of-wonder-woman-steve-trevor-nemesis-batman-superman-romance/

Anyway just my two cents

And then there was the time that Frank Miller implied Superman raped Wonder Woman.... and she was ok with it.

"Where is the HERO who threw me to the GROUND and TOOK me as his rightful PRIZE?" (Miller's emphasis, not mine).

Ugggh, fucking really? I know she was into bondage and all, but I think that's taking it a bit far

Epic Rap Battles of History: James Bond vs Austin Powers

Deadpool is my favorite Batman

Last time I really enjoyed Batman was when Adam West was Batman. I'm old.

Although i did dig the artwork in Frank Millers, The Dark Knight Returns. So, whoever that Batman was. Matter of fact i still have 4 untouched sets of that comic book series in a box somewhere.

Not the answer you were looking for. I know, i'm a disappointment

Before I do that, I need to know your favourite Batman too. May God forgive you if it's Clooney, because I won't!

Hardcore Henry - Official Trailer

newtboy says...

I'll have to look for that game, I never heard about it.
I'm thinking a movie would be great with a Frank Miller treatment, but certainly has it's own style to the art that could easily stand on it's own with any good artistic director.

I started re-reading Druuna recently. I hadn't even encountered it/heard about it since I was a kid. Such amazing art, I don't know if they could capture that in a film but I'd be willing to see it. They made a game in 2001 but I didn't play it (looked terrible).

Hardcore Henry - Official Trailer

newtboy says...

Nice. Reminds me of Hard Boiled from Frank Miller back in the day....but in FPV.
Someone needs to make that movie, Hard Boiled, and maybe Druuna while they're at it. Now THAT would be a good sci fi movie.

moviebob-why robocop still rules

poolcleaner says...

What Frank Miller's Batman is. What Batman could be. In the movies, Robocop rules!

Anyone here read Frank Miller's RoboCop VS. Terminator?

Long story short, similar idea, everything is f'ed, but this time RoboCop's consciousness is hiding deep within Skynet, waiting for his time to strike. If you like smart but action driven dystopian SciFi, I highly recommend.

Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trailer

newtboy says...

Damn you! Got me excited, then I looked and mine are first reprints of #1 and #2.
My Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters (in 3D) is a first print though! Probably worth almost the $2.50 it cost! Same with Samurai Penguin and Miami Mice. Why must my taste be so bad?

CRAP! Even the one good series I have, hard boiled (early Frank Miller) is worthless!

47 Ronin

And disagreement is cool with me, I often disagree with people who like musicals but I can do so without being a jerk about it, I'm just not into them. An active imagination is often considered a sign of intelligence and higher thinking. I'm pretty sure creative minds like Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, just to name a few, are not lacking in the intelligence or comprehension departments. Gene Roddenberry could be responsible for god knows how many people going into the sciences, inspired to make the future, he imagined a reality.
Lincoln was great movie and I'd be all for seeing a movie based on the 47 Ronin that was more historically accurate, but that doesn't mean I can't also enjoy movies like Pacific Rim. As for 300, the movie was actually based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, which I doubt was ever intended to be a factual account of the event anyhow. Movies like this one are, for better or worse a product of market forces and the society we live in.

newtboy said:

Well, I guess we disagree. To me, the supernatural and magic are for those without the experience or intelligence to comprehend that they don't exist, or those that wish to live in a fantasy. To me, that mindset is infantile.
I feel that adding magic to a great historical story is like putting sugar on broccoli, it's done to make something good palatable to non-adults, but it ruins it for adults and destroys what was good about it in the first place. This is an adult story with adult themes and adult actions, it didn't need magic, dragons, or 'The One', and the additions only degrade and confuse the amazing facts.
Would you have liked to see a Muslim dragon guarding Osama in Dark Thirty? (I know, not a historically accurate film, I'm just making a point). Wouldn't you have found it out of place in a movie about our (recent) 'history'? How about if Lincoln had to fight a confederate dragon in Lincoln (not Lincoln vampire hunter)? I feel like that would have infantilized those stories, as it does to any factual story.

300: Rise of an Empire

Khufu says...

Oh, well then you'll love the original 300!

The first one is based, nearly shot for shot, on a graphic novel by Frank Miller. Hence the comic book styling and super-natural element.

Honest Dark Knight Rises Trailer

A pity then that there are absolutely no memorable characters of note.
This was in no way a character-driven movie. If it was you'd focus on one or two people and the story would be simplified. This was all about the plot which asks the characters to flit around doing stupid things.

I still don't get how the Nolan who gave us Memento ended up producing these awful, bland, poorly constructed action movies.

I used to laugh at Schumacher and Burton but their more fantastical imaginings of Batman work better. This is a man dressed as a bat with a stupid voice. To try to frame this "realistically" in a film doesn't work. And particularly not when you constantly take the liberties shown in this video. And the second film with that laughable cell phone tracking tech just underlined how lazy and poor these films were.

I'll say the first half of Batman Begins was good but then veered sharply away from the comics which inspired it. In fact the main problem with the trilogy is that ripping off Frank Miller and trying to mesh that with a more Hollywood style sensibility just didn't work.

Wasn't going to upvote until the Red Letter Media guys appeared. The constant nit-pickery of DKR gets on my tits. It's a character driven movie! None of the "plot holes" ever got in the way of enjoying it for me
