I really liked DC Comics the best when I was younger. Batman: Gotham Knights was one of my favorites.

Never read any of those Phil. But DC comics are AWESOME!!! I really enjoyed the comic book American Splendor by Harvey Pekar (I think I spelled that wrong). Did any of you see that movie? It was a great movie. paul Giamotti is a GREAT actor. -Andrew

Watchmen was one of the greatest superhero tales ever, in part because they were not really that super. It's about 15(?) years old now, but WELL worth tracking down. And rumors of a movie persist to this day...

Only Doctor Manhattan was superpowered, which is what made the series so good. Everyone else just had a costume and style. There's a website for the Watchmen movie. There's very little on it, mostly speculation as to who will play what. We should start a thread on who we think should play who. 'V for Vendetta' is also being made into a movie, starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman. I'm looking forward to that, too.

Yes, there is very little on the Watchmen site aside from the very, very cool logo (which deserves to be checked out in and of itself). I'll believe it when I see it...

The big problem with a Watchmen movie is that there is too much from the series to put into a two or three hour movie. I remember reading someone saying that it should be made as a mini-series for HBO or Showtime. That would be the way to go. Phil

As I'm sure some of you will know, I love comic books! My favourite comic book series is probably The Punisher from Marvel Comics (although the movie didn't do it justice). My favourite graphic novel is Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, by Frank Miller. One of the greats.

I read some comics from time to time, when im at the card store playing a draft/tournament, usually magic the gathering. I grew up with x-men, so i usually read xtreme x-men, uncanny x-men, and others.

I'm probably the oldest person on this web site. I'm going to share with you some of the great comic heros that helped us get though WWII in the 1940's. Captain Marvel (When he said, "Shazaam" all sorts of crazy suff took place) Captain Marvel Jr. (I forgot his magical name that took him into super hero status) Superman and Superboy (yeah, I know - don't call me "boy".) The Green Lantern and I think ther was a Boy Lantern also. Wonder Woman (she was my first woody generator chick) Plastic Man, first example of the problems with toxic waste. Batman, Batwoman and all of the other BAT stuff. Archie Comic . . .not super heroes, but hot chicks in comic motiff. Cheers, Bill McIntire

IIRC, Captain Marvel Junior would shout 'Captain Marvel,' while Captain Marvel and Marvel girl would shout, 'Shazam!' There was also and Uncle Marvel who didn't have any powers but pretended he did. I don't recall there being a Lantern Boy, though.... Phil
