SPIDER-MAN MOVIE REBOOT; ULTIMATE?

So it is not a new piece of information that after "Spider-Man 3" we will be getting a reboot for the series in 2012, new stars, new director. The film series (according to news) will be a new trilogy directed by "Marc Webb", the director of "500 Days of Summer" (I never saw the movie, never heard of it or of the director before).

"Director Webb" (heh heh, I make it sound like he's a director of S.H.I.E.L.D.) announced that he is a huge fan of "Ultimate Comics Spider-Man" which started back in the year 2000 by "Brian Michael Bendis"(never left the project) & artist "Mark Bagley" (stopped after issue 110 and went to DC comics as an artist for Trinity), the success of that series led to the launching of the rest of the "Ultimate Universe"

As a huge fan of "Ultimate Spider-Man" the new series could be hugely based on that series, starting with "Peter Parker" at "High School" and he could possibly make Peter have a job as the "Daily Bugle" web designer, this is a great service "Mr. Bendis" did for Peter because it has a better use of some of the young science whiz. abilities & skills

At least I hope like many other Spider-Man fans that the origin won't be retold here, cause it is very well known world wide and done a flawless revamp of it in the first of the previous trilogy

JOHN JONES

I read "The Bat-Man" (that how Batman was known as when he first showed up) feature in the classic "Detective Comics #029" and there is the name by the issue villain known as "Dr. Death", a letter for "John Jones"

Detective Comic 029, "The Bat-Man"
Story & Art by "Bob Kane"

You definitely are familiar with the "Martian Manhunter" from "The Justice League", he's the last one of his kind who came to Earth, his name is "Jonn Jonzz", but he poses as a human cop and his name as a cop is "John Jones", the name Bat's read in the paper

Martian Manhunter/Jonn Jonzz

SAME PLOT, AGAIN & AGAIN

Image from "Iron Fist v1 #09"

By "Chris Claremont" & "John Byrne"

The poison that takes a certain time to take effect, and the challenge for the duration to reach the antidote

Sometime plots get repeated fun and sometimes boring, in my opinion this is one of the fun times

NO GAMBLING = SMART WORDS

DareDevil 191 By "Frank Miller" & "Klaus Janson"

Roulette, gambling with a gun, truly idiotic
Any other type of Gambling does the same, it kills you, just doesn't do it this quick, not always

WATCHMEN, THE MOVIE

Based on the 12 part mini-series by "Alan Moore" & an artist I have no idea what his name is, I saw the movie but still haven't read the "Graphic Novel"

The movie has an ok story, a good story, not as AWESOME as the graphic novel is praised, I don't think the graphic novel is worth this high level of praise anyway, this is an overrated story

The story is violent, and has lots of images unhealthy for the eyes, neither young nor old

This is a movie that anyone who thinks comic books are kids stuff must see
Of course Nolan's Batman must change your minds too, they are PG-13 movies, not too mature and not too childish

SPIDER-MAN 4, NO MORE?

No. 4 has a red X marked on it denying this number, cause we won't have Spider-Man 4 kids, the rumors are true: SPIDER-MAN FILM FRANCHISE GETS REBOOTED

The question Mark is me wondering: What Will The Suit Look Like In The Reboot?

YOU GOTTA LOVE 'EM

Kingpin is a calm powerful genius, he sure knows how to use tension for his advantage, Bullseye is a clever killer you don't want to tangle with, but they sure make a story really fun

SPIDER-MAN FROM 1981, POORLY FORGOTTEN SHOW

GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: WHAT A JOKE!!!

American Comics creators at least take too much pride with their false heritage anyway, why do so?

So many comics show America to have the upper hand over whatever threat hit it (so does Hollywood, every form of American fiction does so). Comic creators do plenty of comics showing how great and heroic they were during "World War II" against the danger of the Nazi threat, what gives?

Panel from Batman vs "Captain America". Story & Art by "John Byrne"

I saw so many covers of issues proving Americans to be Anti-Nazi patriots (this is why I started this subject in my comic blog), like America was threatened during WWII, the recent thing that really bugged me the most is having Joker disapprove of working for Nazi skunks because Nazi's are too evil even for a low-life like the Joker to join them

Here's a little lesson in history: During WWII U.S.A joined the group that worked against the Allied-Triangle, but what did they do? They loaned cash to countries to annihilate each other and stood watching from the sidelines, but when the Japanese blew-up one of their harbors in Hawaii back in August 1945 you know what those patriotic heroes did? The blew Two Japanese cities full of civilians, not militiamen, CIVILIANS, count 140,000 dead bodies. By the end of the war the great heroic country was the richest because it lost very little in the war compared to other countries and many countries were in financial debt to this mega awesome country

At least something good came out of that rubble the Nazi's (American government was and will always be a true Nazi, but they have many many respectable citizens, don't get frustrated on the citizens cause they are simply victims of their "Great Government"), Japanese stood up strong, they repaired their country and now they surpass all the rest of the countries by far many great steps, and we're very happy for the Manga and Anime aside from their fantastic technology, culture & well shaped manners

DARK KNIGHT TWO-FACE

Look at this picture; isn't it awesome?
This thread contains spoilers, so watch THE DARK KNIGHT movie then come read this if you didn't do so already. I can't guarantee you'll see it as awesome as I do even after several times of watching.

The one bedded is Harvey Dent after he is burnt severely in the entire left half of his body, the one with him is the Joker

Before capturing Joker Harvey was on his way to prison because he said he's Batman, they wanted Batman imprisoned to end the array of dead cops. Harvey was saved by Batman, Joker was captured and sent to prison.

Later Batman asks Joker where Harvey Dent & Rachel Dawes are, when did Joker have the time to capture them?

Batman said he'll save Rachel and told the cops to save Dent, but he felt Dent more important for the city so he saved him, the burnt half of Harvey was soaked in gasoline so it burnt after Batman took him away from the place before it burns, but they weren't able to go far enough and the fire reached and spread on the gasoline sending Harvey to the hospital

In the hospital before Joker blows it he convinced Harvey Two-Face that everything he did was random and unplanned, all plans have pathetic results? And Joker planned nothing? With everything he planned? And Harvey trusted him easily? After being so sore about Joker for what he did to him? Did I hear right?

Joker gets out and blows the hospital before Harvey has enough time to get out after getting dressed, how did he survive and didn't burn to an extra crisp? And that bombing of the hospital after having a chat with Two-Face wasn't planned? What did Joker say about planners being pathetic?

I think the movie is fun, it is one of my favorite movies, but it is very flawed

HOW MANY TIMES DID THIS HAPPEN SO FAR?

From "Amazing Spider-Man #356" By "David Michilinie" & "Mark Bagley"

ERIK LARSEN

I'm beginning to enjoy the art of the guy now that I find the Spider-Man stories sketched by him to be much more fun than the Michilinie stories penciled by Mark Bagley, though I prefer the art of Mr. Bagley heavily especially since I saw his work on Ultimate Spider-Man.


Here's a pin-up picture half drawn by Erik Larsen & Half drawn by Todd McFarlane from Amazing Spider-Man #350

DAREDEVIL vs "CAPTAIN AMERICA"

A classic duel between the most sensational Blind Attorney and the oldest fighting man in the Avengers (sure Thor is way older, but by Man here I meant human) by "Stan (The Man) Lee" & "(Genial) Gene Colan"

DareDevil needed something to take his mind of the departure of "Karyn Page" from the law office of "Nelson & Murdock" because she can't stand being near "Matthew Murdock" who can't marry her and she's cuh-raai-zee about him, so he entered a public duel against "Captain America", only it didn't go that simple.

DareDevil is a hard match for "Captain America", much harder than "Iron Man" was in "Tales of Suspence #058" when the Chameleon tricked "Iron Man" to fight Cap

The issue is fun, though it is the same grief stories us Spider-Man fans know of in the Spidey issues written by "Big Man Stan"

I AM THE NIGHT

"Commissioner James Gordon" gets wounded because Batman is a whiner in this episode, he whines a lot until Robin awakes him from his self pitty

Why do superheroes always go berserk when they whine?

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

From "Marc Spector: Moon Knight" #025

Written by "Howard Mackie"

What do you mean Howie? Cults in the "Middle East"? What cult(s)? Jihad? You have any idea what the word means?

Jihad main definition is to fight the enemy, not a mere invasion, not random merciless mindless destruction, it is to fight for a good cause. So I have every right to be furious by the people who know the wrong information and spread it

Jihad also goes as a meaning for "Ejtihad", that means hard work, so to focus and study right, and do the job right with honesty that is Jihad, so to tell you the truth: People do Jihad world wide, even writers. Laziness is an enemy to fight, you work right that means you fight, you struggle against an enemy

This is for everyone who abuses the word, keep this piece of information for mind

"MOON KNIGHT" IS A FOX

The more issues I read of this guy's stories the more entertaining I find them, the more lovable I find Mr. "Marc Spector" to be really.

The mercenary who reforms himself, unlike Deadpool who is still a mercenary Spector stopped being a mercenary as he got resurrected, now this guy does not kill at all (maybe, he might kill). If you played "Marvel Ultimate Alliance" for the PS3 or "Spider-Man: Web of Shadows" for any system except the "Nintendo Wii" (That means the one done by Treyarch & "Shaba Games"), you can recognise this former Avenger, he was a member of "The West Coast Avengers" which was started by "Jim Rhodes" back in his "Iron Man" days, and Spector was a member

This is the cover of issue #10 of "Marc Spector: Moon Knight", it occurs during the best comic mega event ever: "Acts of Vengeance" back in the end of 1989-Early 1990, the story struck me familiar


Ringer is a little Chicken. No not that he's a coward, and this is not the same guy Spider-Man broke some of his teeth, that guy died.

Remember the story of "Little Chicken"? The one that got turned to a Pixar animated feature? That story is about a little chick who did not think like "Isaac Newton" when an acorn fell on his head, he thought "The Sky is Falling, I'm going to tell the Mighty Lion about it". Then the little chick runs and every time an animal asks him "What's with you running Little Chick" he gives the same stupid answer and all the animals are dumb enough to believe him.

Ringer is the "Little Chick", he collects two more to "Get Some Super Powered Costumed Heroes", his first follower is "Killer Shrike"



"Little Chick" and his first pal ran into another farm animal that goes by the name "Coach Whip" (does Marvel Comics love whips that much?). The funny farm animals went together to find the "Mighty Lion" to tell him that the "Sky is Falling" (I got too carried away, the three villains went to catch a heavy weight superhero)

And on a "Journey into Mystery" the three loonies go











Hey mister Fox, we gotta tell the "Great Lion" that "The Sky is Falling"
The dear dear fox knows how to reach the Lion, and he helps the animals by leading them to his den and he and his family had a royal lunch.

In the case of this issue; the baddies got defeated by "Moon Knight"

The tale ends, thank you dear listeners for giving me your ears entirely open


I recommend you guys to read this Moonbeam, Moonshy, Moonguy, he's awesome

BATMAN & SPIDER-MAN: THE SAME IN.......

The guy to the left is the one and only Batman (That's "Bruce Wayne", now "Richard 'Dick' Grayson" is)

The guy to the left is the one & only Spider-Man (This guy had more imitators than Batman, best known guy in comics is his twin like clone "Ben Reilly" who was the Scarlet-Spider but later became Spider-Man with a different costume when "Norman Osborn" made things seem like Ben is the original and Peter is the clone. Spdier-Man once left to be replaced by a girl wearing an exo-skeleton & pretending to be Spider-Man). By this I said the first similarity. "Peter Benjamin Parker" returned to his duties as Spider-Man, "Bruce Wayne" is yet to return

I'll start counting without that first thing I mentioned:

1. Each is the biggest franchise seller from his own company, DC Comics have Batman to be most proud of and Marvel has Spider-Man

2. Both of them are underrated, yes I mean the use of the word under, both of them deserve to be loved by all, but we see ridiculous reasons to hate Batman (he's too rich, he has no super powers, he defeated Superman. I guess those guys hate Anime's) & more ridiculous reasons to say Spider-Man sucks (What a loser with no money, webbing? what a pathetic thing, etc etc)

3. Both are known to be the most loner characters from their companies, but Superman is much more of a loner than Batman because he doesn't place any sidekicks with him. Spider-Man has no sidekicks and he was always alone, until Marvel made a mistake by keeping him an Avenger since 2004, bad move

4. Both of them are smart and come with different strategies to get out of a bad situation, but most superheroes do so this is not just exclusive to these two

5. Both use gadgets of their own making, Batman uses many more gadgets, but he had help in building many

6. Both of them are brilliant scientific minded

7. Both had a friend go berserk, "Thomas Elliot" was berserk since his childhood, but only revealed it in HUSH, "Harry Osborn" became berserk because life gives pressures, and he was too weak to handle them, but he then got over them

8. Both drove a car representing his symbol. Batmobile is much better known than the more obscure Spider-Mobile (I want to see this in later seasons of SSM animated)

9. Bat Signal & Spider Signal. Bat signal is how the cops call batman though, the spider signal is a light showing the face of Spider-Man and it hangs in Spider-Man utility belt

10. Both raised by an old person who is not a parent

11. Both of them whine, they just show Spider-Man whining in text, Batman whining is not scripted to make him feel darker

12. The animal emblem on their chests, and I do repeat animal emblem. Look at Superman, Black Panther, Hawkman, Catwoman, Fantastic Four, Robin........

AMZING SPIDER-MAN #033 MOST FAMOUS SCENE

Most of us Spider-Man comic readers identify with the scene from "If This May Be By Destiny: The Final Chapter"

from "Amazing Spider-Man #033", the story is a 3 parter published from ASM #031-#033 back in the sixties.

This can be put as one of the most iconic moments in superhero comics history, how "Peter Parker" was under a heavy load but he had enough motivation to inspire him to carry the weight off of him.

This is a scene that got repeated in many more comics, where the hero has a heavy load on him and he has enough motivation to carry it off for the sake of saving loved ones, "Denny O'Neil" used it once in his "Iron Man" run before letting Tony a serious drunk after a while of non-drinking, this also happened by J.M.S in his "Doctor Octopus" story where Spider-Man was burried under a very heavy destroyed building during a fight between, Ock, "Luke Carlyle" & Spdier-Man when he entered

Most people recognize this scene for being adopted for the first time out of comics in "Spectacular Spider-Man Animated Series" episode "Shear Strength", where Spidey needs to save Gwen from Ock's hideout. I believe it actually got first adapted in the first Spdier-Man movie during the last fight between Spidey & GG: Spider-Man was injured heavily, and a glider with piercing blades directed at him by someone with his amount of strength in peak condition, it was the motivation Spider-Man had to save his loved ones from that psycho that helped him lift the glider away, he had a huge motivation.

At least that is my opinion, the subject is open for debate(s)

FEAST YOUR EYES

This is the crossover you only dreamed of, Batman, Superman & Spider-Man together at once

SCROOGE MCDUCK

If you read "Disney Comics" you'll see much more of this guy...duck than you can find in animated form. This is a duck from "Brave Scotland" as I quote from "A Brave Heart" movie. Scotland has a reputation of being a country of scrooge people.

The most famous uncle of "Donlad Duck" always humiliates Donald to have him work for cheap ($0.11 per hour) to nothing, the only salvation for Donald is that he is the only one to inherit his cheap uncle.

How scrooge is this Duck?
*He's too scrooge to know the exact serial number of every paper currency he owns
*He's too scrooge his heart break by spending a penny for his eat
*He's too scrooge to buy himself a good ship and good ship fuel to sail
*He's too scrooge to buy a newspaper, if he wants to read it he must find it tossed away
*He's too scrooge to let go of a penny he lost in the sewers, he just have to jump after it or find a way to get it back for free
*He's too scrooge he knows who borrowed $0.50 for years and still haven't returned it

Despite being this scrooge at least he still has a heart of gold, you gotta love him as an uncle...if not on financial issues

TIN TIN

"The Adventures of Tintin (Les Aventures de Tintin) is a series of comic strips created by Belgian artist Hergé, the pen name of Georges Remi (1907–1983). The series first appeared in French in Le Petit Vingtième, a children's supplement to the Belgian newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle on 10 January 1929. Set in a painstakingly researched world closely mirroring our own, Hergé's Tintin series continues to be a favourite of readers and critics alike 80 years later." (Source: wikipedia the free online encyclopedia)

TinTin is the guy with hair from the front going upwards and has a dog named Snowy. This is a series of 23 comic stories, 21 of them turned to animation. If you see TinTin now you'll notice part of his pants are inside his socks.

Imagine yourself like him; a teenage journalist going on adventures and being able to outwit and outfight bad guys, he's a smart detictive too. Maybe 'Bob Kane' got inspired by this guy for Batman & Robin, except that he made Batman an adult since the start and Robin too young and often gets caught

CARE TO LAUGH

Does anyone here remember the nice 80s animated show "Bionic 6"? How a family of 6 people have their faces public knowledge as superheroes but when they are seen in their civilian forms no one suspects any of them to be a superhero? I used to wonder how that happens when I was a kid

"Power Girl 6" (the cover says its a Dec 2009 issue, but it is in stores on October? I can never understand the comic release scheduling) has a mock of her having a secret double life (she doesn't at least wear a wig like SuperGirl does to hide her civilian identity)

HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY ASTERIX

The Adventures of Asterix (French: Astérix or Astérix le Gaulois) is a series of French comic books written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo (Uderzo also took over the job of writing the series after the death of Goscinny in 1977). The series first appeared in French in the magazine Pilote on 29 October 1959. As of 2008, 33 comic books in the series have been released.

GREEN LANTERN FIRST FLIGHT

As any fan of the "Silver Age Green Lantern" know; "Hal Jordan" is a pilot who got his "Power Ring" from a dying alien who used to guard that ring, Hal gained the power and was a servant for the "Guardians of the Galaxies"

Hal's worst enemy is a former lantern gone rogue known as Sinistro (that's his name folks) who possesses a Yellow ring to counter the green rings because the color Yellow is the thing immune to the "Green Lanterns" rings.

This is what happens in this feature film, nothing new.
5/5

SUPERMAN/BATMAN #001-006 2004: PUBLIC ENEMIES

This is the "Graphic Novel" source material of the latest animated feature film by "Warner Home Video". Story by "Jeph Loeb" (currently the writer of Hulk) & "Ed McGuiness" (who honestly work much better on DC material than they do on Marvel's)

A meteor composed of Kryptonite is attracted to Superman, that why it is approaching Earth and is about to kill the planet inhabitants, the first person to know is "Lex Luthor", and he warns the planet & place a warrant on Superman after a failed attempt to destroy the meteor with a "BOOM-TUBE"

After a fight between these two against "Captain Marvel" & Hawkman they win and disguise as them then head to Luthor in his "Oval Office"Lex tells something to Batman sidekicks that proves why Spider-Man is much better than Batman as a superhero: "Why would someone like Batman, who has a reputation of being a lone wolf surround himself with kids for sidekicks?". COUGH, COUGH. I should step down from this talk, no RAHHING please

Look at this nice panel here, it is a reference to "Batman: Hush" by "Jeph Loeb" & "Jim Lee" (I read the entire 12 parts story, but I don't know in which title it happens cause I read it in "Gotham Comics" reprints, an Indian comics publishing establishment that publishes reprints of comics & magazines for India, but I live outside India, I'm not Indian, Banghali, or from these parts of Asia)

In part 6 Lex appears to have recieved his informations about the meteor from Darkseid, Luthor Corps got Bankrupt by his most trusted head of company "Talia Head", she robbed him.

SUPERMAN/BATMAN: PUBLIC ENEMIES FEATURE FILM

HO HO HO, I GOT ME AN EARLY PRESENT FOR CHRISTMAS, AND IT'S OCTOBER. Wait; I don't celebrate Christmas!!! But if I did I would definitely want me a set of the latest "Hulk vs", "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" & "Green Lantern First Flight". Why don't want others? because the rest have no appeal to me, but I already have and enjoyed both "Superman: Doomsday" & "Batman: Gotham Knight"

I saw the one based on the amazing first arc of the latest volume of Batman/Superman comics which is written by "Jeph Loeb" & "Ed McGuiness", the art & characters designs are direct adaptions of "Ed McGuinees" art. Here is my opinion for my first watch (it could change in later viewings) I warn you if you did not watch the film or read the comic arc it is based on, there are SPOILERS in the review:

It starts with a prologue on an "Economy Crisis" that led to "Lex Luthor" becoming "President of the United States of America", save economy and enlist superheroes to work as soldiers for him (seeing the superheroes registration is not started by "Marvel Comics", but those guys in the company of the red & white logo had a much better use for superhuman registration. Not the point to be talked about here anyway)

The movie is so short an adaption, it dropped the inner monologue (pointless out of comic form to be honest), the anger of Bruce from Clark knowing an info he didn't tell and Oracle digged from "STAR LABS" in less than five minutes, and the fight with Superman/Kal-El from a distant future wanting to kill his present self to avoid a mistake that killed "Ma & Pa Kent", Lois & Jimmy and the Kryptonite shard sending future supes back to his time.

I didn't read the whole arc in comics form, so I don't know all the details preventing me the ability to describe truly how superior I feel the comic version of the story is to its animated counterpart, the last I read is the battle between "DC Comics" 2 Mega Stars with Hawkman & "Captain Marvel" which was too short in the animated adaption.

I won't spoil the story much more to those who did not read the comics or are yet to watch this film.

In General: I have to admit that DC has much better animated features than the ones Marvel did, DC made even much better animated series especially the supreme "Batman Animated Series of the 1990s". This film is based on what I consider one of the most superior Batman/Superman stories ever, not so supreme in animation. 4/5 Yellow Suns (a sun is a star, since Superman came first I rate as if I read a main Superman story)

UNTOLD TALES OF SPIDER-MAN #13

I finally grabbed good copies of "Untold Tales of Spider-Man" series, I read some of them and from what I read the most amazing issues is issue #13, the issue that deals with the death of "Sally Avril" who is a blond girl in the current "Spectacular Spectacular Spider-Man Animated Series". Unlike the animated, Sally has much more depth than just the annoying girl who doesn't like to see someone get hurt even "Puny Stinking Pete"

It starts with Spider-Man telling a story to someone, the story of how everything began, how "Blue Bird" was fighting some thugs because they witnessed her spying on them about "The Black Knight", Spider-Man came to save her and taught her a lesson by letting one thug give her just one punch to understand the dangers of fighting crime, of how she won't always have Spider-Man as her guardian angel before he knocks that thug unconscious (Sheesh, and Batman trains 10-12 years old and let them work with him in fighting crime? Get reasonable Batman)

Spider-Man took the info about the "Black Knight" and went to fight him, Sally took advantage of the piece of info she got and gave Spidey to take action shots of the event and sell to the Bugle, she was rushing her friend "Jason Ionello" who drove his fathers Jeep with no license to the site of action and they passed a red traffic light, a bus hit the jeep causing Jason to get a minor concussion and Sally died. The shock of seeing Sally dies gave "black Knight" an opening to strike Spider-Man unconscious for hours.

The theme of guilt hit Peter for a long time, when most people left the funeral of the young girl a news bulletin was cast on the radio about the Knight & his hostage in the "Chrysler Building" (because I first saw it as Kingpin's building in the 90s animated Spider-Man series I always recognize it as "Fisk Tower"), Peter had to leave the funeral and go there.

Eugene & the rest of Peter's class mates knew Peter is a photographer for the "Daily Bugle" because Peter told them so and showed them some of the pictures he took of Spider-Man in the "Show & Talk" day. "Eugene 'Flash' Thomspon" got harsh with Peter mocking his heroism and praising "Sally/Blue Bird" and describing her heroism to the coward (this is the best part of Flash thinking his best friend and former fun target too far from being Spider-Man)

Spider-Man saved the daughter of the diplomat, stopped "Black Knight" thugs, defeated the villain with bitteness in his heart. "The Human Torch" entered the scene and stopped Spider-Man from punching B.K more after he defeated him, the walls around them collapsed, B.K is gone & Spider-Man told the Torch the story (back to the First Panel/Splash Page)
Spider-Man acted as his usual "Drama Queen" self in whining (at least he's not like this all the time, and he feels the need to save not to avenge or destroy) until the Torch eased up on his friends grief by telling him what differences he made (Way to Go Torch), but Peter still is ubset by the loss of a classmate in such a tragic accident

COMMENTS:
This feels much like Spider-Man's debut in "Amazing Fantasy #15" back in 1962, but with him older and with different people, this is one of the times I enjoy his drowsing in self pitty though I really enjoy him more not whining but still acts in responsibility like "Roger Stern" & "Bill Mantlo's" runs, as well as the current direction issues out of "Joe Kelly's" work

5 perfect webs. "Kurt David Busiek" & "Pat Oliffie" know how to deliver excellent stories

WHAT IF...? DAREDEVIL

Anyone had hopes for a DareDevil animated series back in the 80s? Would you imagine it to turn as Amazing as Spider-Man & Hulk shows were? Check this out?



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As in the comics Matt Murdock is a blind lawyer who is secretly DareDevil. (Unlike the comics he has dark black hair). By day he pals his teenage niece & his seeing-eye-dog. But when evil strikes he becomes DareDevil, his dog becomes lightning the Super Dog, and the three of them take to the street in DareDevil especially equipped van.

Now, stop and think about this for a minute: Who's driving the van? Is it the bland guy, the underage girl, or the seeing-eye dog?

Anyway, once they find crime among the rooftops-which is where most of crime in New York City typically takes place-Matt moves to the back of the van to the giant cannon, which unfolds from the top. And then, his niece launches him skyward...like a DareDevil...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Inspector Gadget" allies with DareDevil next?
