I wanted to make this topic, so that you can talk about the comic or manga you've been reading. anime you watch. The hole nine.
As for me, i recently finished re-reading the KICK-ASS graphic novel. One of my favorite comics. I love it because its just your everyday nerd, wanting to become a superhero. but has no training at all. and is pretty much out shinned by every character in the book. I recommend it, unless you are aginst extream voilence and a ton of sexual situations.
I've gotten into an anime called black butler. In the anime community, its underrated. Basiclly, its about a boy who has a demonic connection with his butler...from hell. I haven't watched all of season one yet. But i plan on getting the boxsets.

So....ummm...enjoy the topic.

i saw the movie, that was pretty good.
is it faithful to the comic?
comics over here is very different than in america. i haven't checked but i think any regular fandom is pretty much non-existent. Manga might be a different issue, i don't know.
there are some swedish-made comics. but most are for children and none in the style of, say Batman, Superman etc. that has a full long-running story line.
Well story wise yes. But they did take out small parts, changed the look of most characters. And they just twisted some parts of the the story. so overall...somewhat.
i saw the movie, that was pretty good.
Same here. I just saw another movie that reminded me of Kick-Ass. It was called SUPER and starred Rainn Wilson (from the American version of The Office). Not quite as good as Kick-Ass but if you like one you will probably like them both.
I don't read comics and didn't mean to hijack your topic, EA.
I heard about that movie, didn't enterest me.
Your fine stab. Thats comic related.
Kick-Ass was very dedicated to the comic. It was being worked on at the same time, but was encouraged by the writer of the series to be fun with it. The endings and a few major story plot points are made differently. Same with the costumes.
Yeah, what joey said. Also the movie was alot less voilent
I like Kick A (don't make me say the full name or I'll just call it Kick Donkey) because of how it was somewhat realistic in what would happen if someone tried to become a superhero. Here's to hoping there's a sequel.

Yes he does, yes he does.
Here's to hoping there's a sequel.
There will be. It's focusing on Hit Girl.
As of 6 days ago, the prospects of a Kick-Ass sequel were shaky at best. Jane Goldman and Matthew Vaughn say they won't be back as writer and director.
I miss static shock. I was watching the cross over with him and batman a day ago.
I always use to watch the show when it came on.

DKGJDLKSG That was such a great show.
I can't tell if your playing or...
I was being serious. haha
I've been watching alot of batman lately.
No not this batman:
This one:
Really hard to take serious. But really entertaining.
You're not supposed to take Adam West's series seriously (repetition!!!)
It's a spoof of the comics at the time. haha

Lol WTF i didn't know that. Seemed like what a live action batman series would be like ,at that time.
Ha, no. They had a sense of humor. I first thought that, too when I saw it as a kid.
oh, it's meant to be silly?
and all this time i thought they were just being hilariously stupid.
there is one thing in particular i remember.
a catwoman episode, where she had used a gas called katafrenik (sp?) on Robin, this gas would make anyone behave the exact opposite of how they normally act.
the effect on Robin was that he became horny for catwoman, i thought the implication of tha was hilarious.
i mean, it's been joked before that he's gay for Batman but i wonder if that was what they were trying to say or if it was just an accident.

Lol i watched that episode on Tuesday.
Well that explains the shark repellent bat-spray!
You guys actually thought they were serious? hahaha Just reading your comments made me laugh.
The only hilariously bad superhero films are from the 30s and 40s about Batman and Superman. Then fast forward to the 90s when Batman & Robin came out (it was apparently made so they could sell more Batman toys to kids). Those movies and serials tried to be taken seriously but failed. Adam West Batman was a spoof. Now you can watch in confidence, guys. haha

well, i didn't think it was serious, but i also didn't think it was silly on purpose
So just found out something pretty important for batman beyond. Terry is actually a clone of Bruce !.

I regularly try to avoid using memes, but this was pretty much my reaction.
That was a classic twist.
I've been watching these D.c. Showcase shorts. I only found two.
Jonah Hex :

and Catwoman:

Both are pretty good. I'd say the Jonah hex one was my fave.
So with July around the corner. I was wondering what was going to sell more:
Batman the dark knight rises- Sequel
The Amazing Spider-man - Re-boot
SEQUEL will win.
Oh only if this was a full episode or actual end to joker. Sadly this is only cannon.
