Not too much hype on this one


I mean I'm really excited to see a hopefully good adaptation of one of my favorite Superman stories but nobody else really is compared to the previous projects that had hype which ended in either disappointment or payed off.

Grant Morrison and Bruce Timm have both stated this one is a damn good one so hopefully despite the lack of hype, it will be.

I know, this one just seems kind of "meh" regarding the hype and it looks like a tremendous film. I actually picked up both paperback volumes of this when I heard it was being released and was blown away. Sure, some of Morrion's dialogue is a little out there but the story was just amazing. I also can't believe how spot on they are with the animation. It looks EXACTLY like Frank Quietly's art from the book. The voice cast is also top notch. You can tell they really put a lot into this and it doesn't seem like they're hyping it nearly as much as past films. You think they would too since this is a big year for Superman with the end of "Smallville" and the forthcoming announcements regarding the next live action reboot. I'm a huge Batman fan but it looks like he may be the new leading man in Warner Bros. eyes.

Butch:"This is no time for bravery, so I'll let ya."
