Reading (For Dummies)

Batman

Have you heard of Batman: Year One? Supposedly it's being being directed by Darren Aranofsky, but now some dude named Enrique Garcia is doing his own adaptation. I hope Enrique's version convinces Warner Bros. to put out a legit version. While I enjoy his trailer, complete with music from Requiem for a Dream (*shudder*, thinking about the soundtrack leaves me unable to masturbate for weeks...if you want to be disturbed try the movie), I'm not sure that he could pull off the first year of Bruce Wayne's return to Gotham. There exists a definite degree of vulnerability in the Batman character that Aranofsky could pull off well. And, well, the picture quality of Enriques shoots don't look so hot (a little bit low-budget, though these are just proofs, not the finished product).

Either way, though, it will be one hell of a movie. Batman has to be my favorite superhero...combine the world's best fighter, the world's smartest detective, no superpowers, and a sense of vengeance that can only be described as insanity, and you have the makings of a great character...
