Just finished Busiek's and Ross's Marvels and although I loved the perspective and the photo-ish artwork, I was really disappointed by the ending. I guess it was more a tribute to all the Marvel publications of that era, than an actual stand-alone story, and that's probably why I just found the whole thing confusing without any satisfying resolutions.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

I think I'm going to be demanding and request the Perez cover.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone with free time (you know how the internet is) made movie Superman/Batman wallpapers (not! porn!).
I think Superman comes off pretty poorly here. Is that my Batfangirlishness talking? I think I like the TV costume more.

While I quite liked what Singer did with the X-Men costumes, he needs to be cluesticked that some things don't need fixing.

Whoops. TV Superman has a dorky belt. Something distracted me from that. Not sure what...maybe the fact that Dean Cain is hot, and Roush has yet to sell me.
Not sold on the movie as a whole yet, really, whereas I was psyched about Begins from day 0.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
TV Superman has a dorky belt
It's quilted. This is as amusing to me as Ple's plaint that "Aquaman's classic costume has a boatneck collar!"
and Roush has yet to sell me.
He looks like Ken Wahl.

I think Routh's got the right look (costume aside), but have zero information about how he'll perform in the role. Whereas Bale has me as a guaranteed ticket sale for anything that doesn't involve him starving to concentration camp inmate weight or singing in an ascot.

Routh. Right. Bad ita.
I'm still not over it not being Victor Webster. Sometimes I'm just not good at letting things go.

Oh my. I would have passed right by that typo unaware, but now am picturing the TV Guide critic in tight primary-color spandex, flying past the skyscrapers of New York. It's not a good thing.

The idea of Routh as Superman and Roush as Clark makes me laugh unduly.
