New Superman Looks A Wanker: D.C On The Run.

With Biopics of Thor and Captain America taking full control of the Summer Box office and the indie scene completely absorbed by the brilliant 'Falcon: Gin and Tigers' it was always going to be difficult for the comic book characters to get a look in but D.C comics have obviously reacted the way they should never have; by releasing half completed pictures of coming projects and a cobbled trailer for a film that's not even close to a final cut; namely The Dark Knight Rising.
No one would argue with the pedigree of the Dark Knight or of the chances of it walking away with the top taking next year but why the trailer now? One answer; D.C are on the run and have nothing to offer but their one star.
Earlier in the year we had Snyder sneering at Thor and his biopic, claiming it was an obviously silly idea to try and bring him to the screen and yet here he is filming a movie about a man who cannot be beaten and has a quiff?! A QUIFF?! Pictures released recently show up and coming Superman smashing through a metal door and to be honest its not something we haven't seen before.
Much was made about the change in costume, the change in attitude, the change in direction and yet if your changing the look of the costume and making the character cooler how do you allow that dappy quiff to stay?! Nob.

Sorry, he looks a cock.

D.C simply don't seem to be able to grip the reality of the situation they face. When they look forward to the Summer and have an offering like the Green Lantern as their main hope you have to ask just how stupid these pricks are?! Then to think they respond to the exceptionally positive reception to both Thor and Captain America with dodgy pictures of Catwoman on a bike not wearing anything like a discernible costume and a man with a hairstyle so bad the enemy would die of laughter before a punch was thrown, well they are either simply to dumb to know when they're beaten or they really just don't have a clue.

Next year comes the much anticipated 'Avengers' and an alternative Biopic for 'Spiderman,' two films that have all the momentum they need to make a huge splash. Meanwhile D.C have the much anticipated 'Dark Knight Rising' which would do well to be as good as The Dark Knight but should at the least be excellent and the much hyped but almost certainly flawed Superman. 

Next years main hero film will be The Dark Knight Rising, but as far as i can see it is the only thing that D.C have to offer. Period.
