I remember reading a Neil Adams/Dennis O'Neal Batman comic when I was little, where a burglar pulled a gun on Batman, and Batman broke his knuckles. That wasn't the Batman I was used to; it caused me some serious congitive dissonance.
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Art Crawl!!!
Looks like next summer we'll have Spidey and Wolverine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OOh. They can be roomates!
Actually, that sounds more like a sitcome. Wolverine buys Spidey his first six-pack, drunken wackiness ensues....

Ann, that's a ferret.
Why stop at wackiness?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I have no idea why they need Sandman; I'd never even heard of him.
He's a Spidey villain from waaaaaay back.
It's good to see Sandman. He was one of Spidey's cooler villains. (Of course, considering how many of them were goofballs in really silly-looking animal-themed suits, I realize that's not saying alot.)
I love that they're using Green Goblin II (I thought they were going to do Hobgoblin, but the trailer shows Osborne dodging a pumpkin bomb, so I guess not?)
I missed that. Maybe it is the Hobgoblin, then. Green Goblin II=Harry, Hobgoblin=some other dude.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The hearts of slash writers everywhere start beating a little faster...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They handle them well together in the Ultimate universe, if memory serves.

Seriously, Spidey vs. Evil Suit would be enough for one movie.
But in the comic, wasn't Spidey in the middle of a fight with someone (possibly one of the Goblins) while he defeated the suit for the first time?
Speaking of, was it just me, or did it look in the trailer like Spidey was in a belfrey during that "ripping the black suit off his own body" sequence?
They may be keeping very faithful indeed for S3.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I appreciate that they are *about* something, that the characters in them deal with real human emotions and problems and challenges, albeit writ large.
Yes, exactly.
P.S.: I do not know how to spell villian/villain. They both look wrong. I know it derives from villein, maybe that's a clue.
It seems to be. It's villain.
Now I just need to figure out which movie will most likely be showing the Spidey 3 trailer...mmm....
A friend of mine saw it with Superman Returns.
Topher Grace does NOT seem big/bulky enough to play Eddie Brock. IJS.
He's a special kind of Eddie Brock. The...kind of wimpy kind.
But MAN, Thomas Hayden Church is so perfectly Sandman -- the same way J.K. Simmons is J. Jonah Jameson. Impressive.
Cool. As I said, I've never encountered him. But J.K. Simmons looks so ridiculously like JJJ, it's...ridiculous.
He was one of Spidey's cooler villains.
Apparently, he can turn into a giant...sand....man? And hit you with sand? The CGI looked cool, at least.
Maybe it is the Hobgoblin, then. Green Goblin II=Harry, Hobgoblin=some other dude.
I can't keep track of all the Goblins. So Harry is supposed to be Green Goblin II, and Hobgoblin is the copycat? From the end of the last movie, I anticipated Harry becoming whichever Goblin he's supposed to become since they really pushed the "I totally blame Spidey for my dad's death" angle. But the trailer shows him avoiding a pumpkin bomb, so...I don't get it.
They may be keeping very faithful indeed for S3.
Sean, that's totally what it looked like! It made me happy. I only know Venom from the animated series, but that was definitely a familiar scene.
