Don't know how I feel about this. On the one hand, I like well done comic-based movies. But I also know it's too easy for them to become corny and camp. Spider-Man, Hellboy, Sin City, and Batman Begins rocked; Daredevil, Elektra, and Fantastic Four were awful. And let's not even discuss those

Okay, Keith, thank you for the heads-up. And no, I don't think that such a role would go to a Black actor here in the States. In GB, they run the entire acting profession bass-ackwards to the way H'Wood does. Actors actually act for the love of acting. Strange concept, n'est-ce pas? Keith

We KNOW which John will show up. Shaft all the way. For the simple fact that he's considering Tyrese for this role and not putting Omar Epps in the gym. The only thing that's guesswork about this movie is how much of a role Busta Rhymes is going to have. I know I'm largely pessimistic

You sound a little skeptical? I hear you, my fears too. Maybe Singleton will surprise us. By the way, though, to give him one prop: Singleton is a huge comic book fan. He still reads them, has a huge collection, and has talked of the many many hours he spent as a kid and adult reading comics
