[donneric]

[gus4u2c]

What!? No Alan Moore or Watchmen?

[SHADOWBATKILLER]

fuck ti burtons opinion he fucked up batman in soooo many ways why is he on here

[gus4u2c]

@SHADOWBATKILLER Well said.

[vash2k2000]

Kingdom Come addressees this didn't it

[ATENakaATON]

Most comic book games and movies are awful

[SukhberS]

fuck you Burton.

[mititzi]

I have never really liked Superman, but that picture on 10:12 is probably the most stunning picture I have ever seen.

[leqaf]

I found the first thing I don´t like about the documentary.

It´s not only kids who read comics and I like to see the more serious and dark stories portraid in them too, not only the "heroic" ones.

I love Spawn :)

[moartzen]

@leqaf agreed Spawn rules !!!

[peebyrne]

MOAR COWBELL!!!!!

[MrSinister616]

what's playing at 9:22?

[justgetupandwrestle]

what spiderman game was that

[Vengeance31]

I don't care for Tim Burtons take on Gotham or Batman, glad they rebooted it.

[gimpy204]

@Vengeance31 i totally agree.i thought i was the only person out there.i used to lie to myself that i liked them...but then along came planet of the apes,and i realized he ruins alot of movies.

[jdenicholls]

This section highlights the main flaw in this documentary - the makers fall too far in love with their subject. It's still entertaining to watch and it's got some good info but it just isn't critical enough. See the guy at 3:00 "[licensing] is just testimonial to how wonderful the character is when he was created". There's not enough explanation of why comic book sales were falling or why the characters have been so ruthlessly prostituted.

[DemiathDoomhammer]

09:25 - this music, I don't know what it's called or who composed it, but it's playing while Travis Charest is drawing Superman.. god, it's beautiful. I never heard music like that before. it really suits Superman and should definitely be in the new movie.

[Antwon627]

@DemiathDoomhammer

It is a very good piece of music.

[moroihunter]

i always thought that mcfarlane took a lot from the rather unknown comic book character mr. bones to create spawn.

[OnlyTubenami]

lol burton sounds like he has a cold XD

[chrislojik]

i will always love comics the essence of the story the art. im 21 ive been collecting since i was lil kid so this doc pays homage to comics.and i love it.

[MOOPsQuad]

i dont like the new batman movies, there 2 serious, after all its just a guy in a bat suiet

[martinf74]

He mentions Spielberg,Lucas and Burton but he's forgetting DePalma.

[duende667]

tanx bro,i've repeatedly this viewed so many times,i've waited soooo long for the marvel civil war in film,we wait in hope eh?

[erickBUENO2009]

@duende667 goosebumps! that's the best event in marvel history

[wakingthekadabra]

tim burton has said he would never read a comic book

[ninawillams]

stan is adorable jus de last line

[antares074]

Michael Keaton was the best Batman

[yellowcougar18]

I feel Burton missed the point of the characters with his films.

[JosephMelia]

I disagree,I feel Burton's first movie was the finest of all the Batman movies.

[yellowcougar18]

The fact that he had not read a comic book showed in the film. The costume was too restrictive and if the guy was meant to fight crime, he could hardly move in the suit. The newer films have rectified this problem and he can now move in the suit, as well as look up and down. I also disagree with his making Batman a killer. Batman does not kill, it's his own vow to himself.

[Acrylicdrums]

Why? The henchmen were 60's hokey. The supporting cast was cheesy, not 3 dimensional. Nicholson was a decent joker for the day, but was a mere custodian of the character compared to Ledger. Overall, dark Knight was far superior to the rest in every possible way.

[erickBUENO2009]

@JosephMelia tim burton's masterpiece is considered to be the best among batman movies but i like batman begins and dark knight better

[bilbob7624]

I think your right on here. thank god for Batman Begins.

[yellowcougar18]

Thanks. Now do ya think tou could somehow get the 4 thumbs down removed from next to my name?

I'm only kidding. But thanks, seriously.

[ssj3jerome]

Hero's should be dark and light, because we need variation. take just one side and its get boring or depressing.

But its not always light and dark.

Its what a hero does that defines him, but its also his intentions.

a "perfect" hero is one that deals with dilemma's in wich he has to make a choice, not between a lesser evil but between a evil that is less acording to the hero, this can truly define his character

[heartofzorro]

I think they are right about the darkness on some heroes. I think Batman has the blame. Some artists use too much darkness on some characters when they shouldn't go so far. As for heroes and villains i think today heroes are more human. You can see the darkness within them and it's common a hero battling a villain and later allying with him for another purpose. Where does the hero or the villain begins after all?? And it's also common to see nowadays a villain making a good deed.

[hukootuna]

EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY

[kuriosity89]

i'm so glad they touched on the concept of the anti-hero in this. anti-heroes are easily the most believable coz they possess the more fucked up yet tragic human traits - eg The Punisher and the mad revenge trip he goes on for the death of his family and killing anyone who gets in his way.

could be (well, most likely IS) a social/cultural thing but it is a fact that we dont want goody goody heroes anymore, we want badasses. speaking of which, BRING ON WOLVERINE!!!!!

[jordancook1992]

wow

[APriceProduction]

It's a shame that comics have gone more into specialized shops rather than local news agents or corner stores. In the process having gone up in price due to that change.

[FlamingoKicker]

Add to that the improved production, materials and higher compensation for the talent as well as inflation over all (not to mention the damned speculators who thought every 1st issue was going to make them a million dollars a few years down the line)

[harveydents]

I wish stan lee was related to me...like a uncle or step grandpap!

[Tikaany]

Todd Mcfarlen did a good job with Spawn in the beginning...but how many times is a guy going to die and go to hell?

[benelgermosen]

David Hine did a good job with the character, but I dropped it after MacFarlane came back.

[bernito2]

he actualy said in MANY interview that he never read a comic book in is life,Kevin Smith confroted him about it and only now,years later,he admit he read them?

and what is it with most of his films appening in the holydays?

[madliana]

was this made in the GRIMDARK of the 90s, really comics have already broken out of this hyper violence phase.

[OhhFiddleSticks]

woah what is that painting at 10:15 for? and who is it that did it? i would want a copy. I like that a lot.

[pompalompalus]

his name is TRAVIS CHAREST...look him up he has a BEAUTIFUL style of art...1 of my inspirations

[NinjaBunni]

Spawn is my favourite superhero ever. I have never seen themovie...I've only just read the comic book, but it's so good. And i love how they used him as the example of how the superheros wern't shocked by the horror they created. Well >> Spawn first of all DID...(in the comics at least) and second...had he dont it would be understandable considering he's the spawn from HELL.

[Hoches1988]

Yeah!! right on.

[ajabrin]

That statement doesn't seem quite right.

[Timbo078]

Lol well it's Tim Burton's opinion, but in this Tim's opinion lot's of superheroes have better villians. Best bunch of villians are from Marvel if not only from Spider-Man

[theyakkoman]

That's your opinion. I would say that Batman and X-Men have the greatest Rogue Gallery. The two greatest supervillains of all time in my opinion is The Joker and Magneto. But that's just my opinion.

[krantzbucks]

I'll Take Spider-Man's villains over Batman's anyday.

[melvinmaverick]

ur insane

[krantzbucks]

Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin beat Joker and any combo

[Donomark]

****Tim Burton, he never read no damn comic

[wallcrawler50]

How much time have you spent with him? I can't say I've sat and watched him read a comic, but he does have an amazing comic collection.

[KiwamuTheKappa]

Tim Burton have stated that he loved reading The Killing Joke.
