I thought Blackest Night was about firestorm vs. skelestorm? That's all I ever heard about it, anyway.

Alright. Alright. Van may disagree, but I think Marvel really built up Iron Man and Thor prior to their movie debuts. Tony Stark (whether loved or reviled) was at the heart of the best-selling Civil War. Thor's big comeback post-Civil War was huge. Green Lantern has been built up with Blackest Night. In each of those cases, the comic company really tried to make that character HUGE well in advance of the film. I was using that philosophy that DC should try the same thing with Hawkman. Since we started talking about this, DC has announced a new monthly Hawkman title - The Savage Hawkman. So who knows, maybe they are starting that effort already.

Defend thyself! Comics are a laboratory where stories can be refined, stretched, examined, over-cooked, savored....but the movies must be a tight, focused lightning bolt of story. With comics, the stakes are low! We unmarried Spider-Man! The nine people who read comics are mad! We might lose sixteen dollars next month! We put too many bad-guys in Spider-Man 3! The 40 MILLION people who saw it don't trust us to make Spider-Man 4 and we won't make THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS! Stakes! -----Original Message----- From: Van <[email protected]> To: The Unique Geek <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Jun 3, 2011 12:55 am Subject: [The Unique Geek] Re: Hawkman Movie Is "What" Meets "The Hell?"
