Marvel Super Hero Posters - GHOST RIDER, DAREDEVIL, WEREWOLF BY NIGHT & DEATHLOK!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... Earlier this week, the following poster showed up on JoBlo.Com as being the early teaser poster fan art for 20th Century Fox's DAREDEVIL. My instant reaction was a smirk. Ah, clever. But as Tyler Durden once said, "How's that working out for ya?"
After 15 seconds of staring at the poster I thought, "Justice Is Blind"? Isn't that the tagline from Rutger Hauer's blind samurai flick, BLIND FURY. And then there is just nothing that calls to mind... SUPERHERO here to the average viewer. There is no HARD ON here. Nothing to get people in lobbies saying, FUCKING A! Instead they look, think... What?... Oh, Ben Affleck. Hmmm, Ok. And move along. They don't think about SPIDER-MAN, unless they already know to compare. Personally, I hope when Fox goes to make their real poster, I'd go with a shot of a bloody DAREDEVIL draped upon a crucifix atop a church steeple in New York at night. (A scene from the opening of the film btw) With the tagline, "SOME HEROES BLEED. SOME DIE." Instantly you have told the audience that this is like SPIDER-MAN, but more hardcore. Instantly you've conveyed the risks and tone of the film that Mark Stephen Johnson is making. And the audience can see that it is a SUPERHERO MOVIE!!! Now take Columbia's poster for GHOST RIDER that was up at Cannes this year...
Ok, right off the bat... ya have a SUPERHERO poster. Instantly the ol film going penis in geeks everywhere is at full attention, especially when they get up close to this poster...
Now, this image screams for my money at the box-office. Of course SONY understands SUPERHERO movies and how to sell them right now, because they have the fastest money making movie of all time, and they actually know how they sold it.
Now take the above WEREWOLF BY NIGHT and the below DEATHLOK posters. Both of these are straight to video, total non-excitement looks. Sure, they don't even have scripts yet, but they do have characters with distinctive original looks... Neither of which is exhibited here. The DEATHLOK poster actually is cheesy. The WEREWOLF BY NIGHT looks dull. We can only hope that as these projects move forward, that not only do the films have quality scripts, filmmakers and talent, but that the marketing campaigns have the imagination capturing ability that SPIDER-MAN's did. Thanks goes to our Cannes Spy SPYder for these pics!!!

The only target audience that Daredevil poster is aiming for ...

Nice work Sony.
That Ghost Rider poster really does have my attention, if not my erection. Old Flame head was always a bit of an odd duck in the Marvel stable, I hope they can turn it into something interesting.
But whatever.
I'm loving the fact that superhero movies are starting to have superheroes that *look* like superheroes.
-
I know no one else is going to, but I think it's oringinal and intelligent and that it shows that this is being treated like a serious, well-made movie. The fact that the focus in the poster are the star's names and not some bloody action pic prooves that. It is a teaser poster after all. It's only supposed to get people curious. Only the hardcore fans are supposed to know what it is. Oh, and the other three posters suck.

Sorry, duder, but a poster of a crucified DD ain't gonna fly
by sleazyg.
It's way too over the top for a mainstream ad. Oh, and that "Some heros bleed. Some die." I guess it's catchy, though ham-handed and juvenile. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to DD. He doesn't die. It might work really well, though, for like a war movie of some type, or even a "Suicide Squad" type movie. It's okay and all, I just don't think it really jibes with DD.
-
Although I read that the DD poster was just a fan creation somewhere...can't find the link anywhere but it was a few days ago when I saw it. The Ghost Rider poster rocks, god I can't wait to see that movie!
-
His character was too violent and didn't have enough umph with his stories. Btw, eat me PiratedTV. Saying "first" is for lame ass newbies with mullets.
-
And if you didn't know they were going to go with Justice Is Blind as a tagline for that movie, then you've been living under a rock since the invention of promotion. But you're right, they should have spent a bundle recreating Werewolves and cyborgs for a bunch of marketing posters that nobody other than potential investors and internet fanboys will ever see.
-
It's important to keep these things in perspective. The DD poster is probably just a teaser poster (and not so great, really, because the Man Without Fear is already blind -- unless they're doing an origin story). Hopefully there will be a much more dramatic and intriguing poster of ol' hornhead hmself closer to the actual release. With those Cannes posters, you have to also remember that these are just very (very very) preliminary ideas to try to get people interested. In a film market setting, especially at Cannes, a lot of the business involves trying to pre-sell a movie to foreign territories to raise some dough up front. Those posters are mainly just to have something up on the wall to get the conversational ball rolling, to try to get people interested in the picture. The actor in the Deathlok poster isn't even the lead, or they'd have the name up there to sell it. Same with Werewolf by Night. (and in case nobody else noticed, Ghost Rider doesn't even have handlebars on his hog yet, much less an actor playing his flesh-faced counterpart). In short, this is only a test: those posters aren't for the audience, they're for the buyers running around the market. Hopefully the final products will kick a lot more ass. -- SPYder, out.

Harry, how did something like that slip past your defenses? It was reported a while ago on CHUD that it was just a fake...though it is a creative poster and looks nice...it's fake.

by hammer2fall
Joblo's news guru Joey Baloney made that poster; he put it on the website a month or so back while running a previous DD story. He made no claims it was the real deal, he said flat out, "I made this in Photoshop." I guess he put it up again just to illustrate the article, but I suppose he should have typed a disclaimer saying it wasn't the real deal. It certainly does look like it could be the real thing though, doesn't it?
-
Thank goodness Marvel's getting its shit together and putting those movies on the fast track. Now, all I need to be in comic book geek heaven is some movies featuring Spiderwoman, Dakota North, She-Hulk, and Dazzler. You listening, Marvel??? Get on it! PS-A quick note to DC: Get your finger/fist/head out of your ass and get moving you dim witted numbnuts!! Get Wonder Woman, Hawkman, and Green Lantern on the big screen ASAP!!!
Snoogans. -
Brilliant, a poster that blinds anyone that looks at it.
-
It is beautiful and subtle! One of the best and most original movie posters I have seen in a long time. I have it has my wallpaper at work and people love checking it out. I gotta tell you, the poster made me MORE excited for the movie.
-
Sigh...it better F#@KIN' be Johnny Blaze under that flaming skull and not that lame assed Danny Ketch! SCREW THE "NEW" GHOST RIDER! Make that cycle a kickass chopper too not some tired Kawasaki manga-wanna be bike! Man, well, I guess the fact that Nic Cage is gonna be the Ghost Rider speaks volumes...meaning, despite the cool ad, that the movie will possibly not be good...
Man, 70's-80's Ghost Rider was SO badass!!!!!! -
cool posters.

Not the original John Kelly Deathlok the Destroyer, but the Michael Collins Deathlok. I don't know crap about the one that came out a few years back. I found it to be an excellent premise, a man trapped being his own worst nightmare, a pacifist forced to kill, living in the ultimate killing machine, putting up with a computer that constantly reminded him one way or another that he was designed to kill and to kill was the easiest way to win in a number of circumstances. Is it kind of a cliche idea? Hero doing what he doesn't want to do? Yeah. But I honestly think that it could be an excellent movie if done correctly. I think it would be great to have a hero who no matter what (Well, almost no matter what) would not compromise his morals. That can make for a very compelling story.
-
Now, if these films are approached with integrity (or at least as much integrity as possible), they could turn out to be entertaining movies, hell, maybe even good movies. But my only question is, where's the Cloak and Dagger movie. HUHHH? WHERE IS IT?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cuz Cloak and Dagger movies would without a doubt be so awesomely awesome and incredibly amazing you know I can't believe NObody talks about CLOAK AND DAGGER oh my goodness I'm having a heart atta--*

I saw the same picture at WWW.Manwithoutfear.com and it was under Fanart and it was a couple of month's ago. If I was the person who created that poster, I would sue because the people doing Daredevil stole it.

The Rutger Hauer blind samurai flick was called BLIND FURY
by hktelemacher
not Blind Justice. I used to watch it a lot when I was a younger lad, but alas, now a simple Zatoichi in Reno with Rutger Hauer is not enough to get me through 90 minutes, but it is enough to get me to post about it.
-
Some slogans are terrible. Some catch phrases suck. Some taglines are just plain stupid. But everyone is praying that Harry is never in charge of marketing a film. And anything crucified on the poster is way too controversial in Team Management's eyes. The eyechart poster sucks also, but in the end, the DD poster will be just like the Spiderman poster - it's purpose is to convey the costume. Hopefully the movie will do more. Some movies do more. Some movies go straight to video.

It sucks that the X Men, Daredevil and Spiderman cant interact in movies.... share atleast minor characters.... share KINGPIN, atelast dammit.. losers...... I wish Vin Diesel woulda played Daredevil.... I hate Affleck with a passion

come off it, Harry. the Daredevil poster rules, it's damn ne
by a goonie
why? because the Daredevil poster sells the movie as A MOVIE. it leaves the genre open. i've seen enough action movies, and i'm good enough movie reviewer to KNOW that the action genre is pretty much shit. that's why i love Spider-man so much. because it's an action movie where i care about the characters, where the sweet, touching love story is the focal point of the picture, and because it makes one of the most profoundly insightful comments on superhero-dom ever to grace a movie screen. it's a great movie. it's one of those rare gems in the action genre. but then again, it's also fits nicely into the sci-fi/fantasy and family genres, too. now superhero movies don't HAVE to be action movies (witness Unbreakable), but it is most certainly the norm. and it makes plain, simple sense. what's my point? teaser posters, like teaser trailers, excite me to no end. in most cases, the teaser poster kicks the real, flashy, theatrical poster's ass. i remember way back in 1994... i was out to the movies with the family. quite young. back then, before i had internet access, i used to exit the theater before the movie started and go and wander the hall(s) in search of "coming soon" movie posters. i loved it. and on this particular occasion, i stumbled upon the teaser poster for Batman Forever. and man, did i freak out. the image was on black, and it was a green question mark with the bat symbol for the dot. the only writing on the entire thing was the release date: "June 16, 1995." at that point, i didn't care about the movie i was about to see. it could never compare to the excitement i had experienced over that poster. the same thing happened when i was seventeen (i believe) and first saw the teaser poster for X-Men. just a silver X. and walking down the hallway toward the cinema, it caught my eye and i stopped dead in my tracks. i freaked out. over an "x." my point is, simplicity can be brilliant. i don't need to see a poster with some image (real or painted) of Daredevil in costume beaten up, or Batman doing something cool, to get my jazzed for the movie. because i can easily picture that in my head. i'm not saying it CAN'T be cool. that would be wrong. but that image of Ghost Rider is NOT cool. it's unimaginative. the Daredevil poster is clever. kind of witty. it strikes a cool chord inside of me, and suddenly, i'm more excited for this picture. but Ghost Rider... not so much.
-
In fact, I can't remember ever getting a hard on from a poster, or thinkin about my dick while I was talking about super heroes. I think Harry might be alone in this one although who knows.
Anyway the point is this. The Daredevil poster is kind of cool. Harry's idea for a Daredevil poster is dishonest unless Daredevil really does bleed to death in the movie. If the poster said "Yeah, he bleeds to death" and then he didn't bleed to death, I would be disappointed. So don't mention it unless he does.
Anyway the only way to be honest is to say "From the creator of Jack Frost (Michael Keaton version) and Grumpy Old Men comes another embarassing chapter in the history of comic strip movies that should've gone straight to video". -
Come on, Avi, Alex is the guy. Besides, he's worked with Goyer before in 'Dark City'.

Harry, you moron, Columbia didn't make that Ghost Rider post
by skeetzjackson
That poster first showed up last year at liscensing shows when New Line had the Ghost Rider option, which they just gave up to Columbia. And you're supposed to be an insider? damn. Hey, why don't you just report the news, and not comment?
-
Cool Daredevil poster, looks promising. I read above where someone had this set as their wallpaper. I tried, but it's all blurry. Does anyone know where I can get it in a different resolution, I couldn't find it on manwithoutfear.com either. Any help would be appreciated!
-
For the time, those were very dark, foreboding stories. Almost a sort of 'Omega Man' type thing. I would hope they would do the Post Apocalyptic storyline, rather than The Matrix!!!!!!
-
Couldn't you have linked local copies? Instead you go and completely screw someone elses bandwidth!
-
but I don't really know how much a poster for a film affects the audience. I'd go see a film on the strength of a good TRAILER, but where the poster's concerned, well, it can't do any harm. If I see a great poster, it might make me wanna know more about a film; if I see a terrible poster, I ignore it, but I don't say to myself 'Never gonna see it' on the strength of a poster. Maybe a vague poster for DD featuring Ben Affleck is meant to puzzle people: "Hey, what's that new Ben Affleck poster about? I'll watch out for that one!"

Harry, you IDIOT, read JoBlo's and you will see THAT IS NOT
by mullivan
Quoting from JoBlo.com (http://www.joblo.com/movienews/index.htm):
"Let me say this one last and final time. The poster you've seen circulating the web that people are claiming we claimed was the teaser poster for DAREDEVIL is NOT AN OFFICIAL POSTER! What's more, I NEVER claimed it was. In fact, when the story ran it was clearly captioned as being "...created by Yours Truly". It was fanart created by me, Michael Sampson, who last time I checked was not an employee of Twentieth Century Fox. It was part of a friendly competition between myself and other readers of JoBlo.com to create a cool fan poster for DAREDEVIL. The image ran in a story not about the poster at all but about the release date change. Nowhere EVER on this site did you see me or any other staff member refer to this as official or as anything other than a fan creation.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, good. I'd like it to stay this way. This rumor has creeped all around the web giving itself a life of its own. This despite the fact the image was removed from the site earlier this week. Which means, without naming names, editors just simply aren't doing their research. I apologize to anyone who was misled and for possibly misrepresenting this fanart. My intentions were nothing more than adding a quick image to a short update about the release date.
As far as I've heard from my sources at Fox and through FilmForce's Stax (a stand-up guy in my opinion) who has sources very close to he production, this is nowhere near what Fox is planning for the poster (which is nowhere near being finished). Once again (hoping to get this all behind me), that poster IS NOT THE OFFICIAL DAREDEVIL POSTER, NEVER WAS, AND WAS NEVER CLAIMED TO BE!!!"
Try and get it right next time you fat fuck.

by wooberhead
Normally I try not to post, but when a bunch of losers are talking smack about getting the facts straights when their facts are not, in fact, straight is crossing the line. Over the top. Too much. "Hey folks, Harry here... Earlier this week, the following poster showed up on JoBlo.Com as being the early teaser poster fan art for 20th Century Fox's DAREDEVIL." See? It said EARLY TEASER POSTER FAN ART. Did ya see it?
-
Remember, it had Dabney Coleman and that kid from E.T.
BTW If thats not the official DD poster it should be.. I don't wanna see sum generic imagery simply capitalizing on Spideys success. -
I love Daredevil, I think hes one of the few Marvel characters I like to follow. I think the Fan Art poster is a great idea, but I think it needs to be adjusted a little, i'm not sure what, but the idea is cool.
And if they don't do that, the latest DD cover art has been awesome. I love the recent art of the Daredevil comics, its very unique to itself and reflects the mood of Daredevil, they shud get that artist to paint a DD movie poster.
P.S. Stop with the Penis analogies, and your gross sexual innuedos...its creepy and makes me not want to see the movie. -

To the man who complained about his DD wallpaper being blurry...
by user id indeed!
...that means you need glasses. Ha ha ha ha ha! Because, see, it's an eye chart! Ah, nevermind.
-
Strangevisitor..."And ED 209... you frickin idiot. You notice that the letters are deteriorating, they are getting fuzzy, it conveys blindness. After all Matt Murdock wasn't born blind. And when he got into his accident they probably tested his eyes before he went completely blind from it therefore this shows his eyesight deteriorating. Learn some fucking symbolance"...i'm a big fan of Daredevil and to correct you, matt murdock was blinded instantly by the radioactive isotopes just as his other senses instantly started working weird.

Never in my life,not ever,
have I seen such a big bunch of
f*cked up superhero posters...
Their creators should be ashamed
of themselves...
They really have to make them
more dynamic en superhero-alike...something like blade or
spiderman...
But heeee?!
It's only my opinion!
Greetingz,
Jan Tha Devil. -
The Daredevil fan-art is a cute idea, but for my money would work better as a comic-book cover. What's needed for a movie poster is a shot of DD balanced on the edge of a rooftop very, very high up, thereby illustrating the "Man Without Fear" concept. Either that or DD kicking a ninja in the head....The Ghost Rider poster caught my eye, cos flaming skull-faced bikers do that. The "Werewolf By Night" poster is shit. Where's the full moon? Where's the blood? Where's the fangs and claws 'n' stuff? Nice lettering, tho.
The Deathlok poster is also shit. Not enough cyborg. -
why put an eye chart if justice is blind. blind people can't read an eye chart...they're blind!
-
I don't mean to piss-off everyone by saying this, but those superheroes don't really matter. Spiderman, the X-Men, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, they're the real stars of the Marvel universe. They're the ones you're truly looking foward to seeing on the big screen, not these insignificant replacement players. The major studios are merely using them as filler in between their really important superhero projects. Sorry if the truth hurts.
-
I, too, strongly disagree with Harry. I saw the "Daredevil" poster and was intrigued by it. I scrolled down and glanced at the other three poster for a nanosecond before moving on.
Even more important, I came back to the "DD" poster. I looked at it again. I studied it. I saved it to my computer.
It got me thinking. It got me interested. And aren't those two things the whole target of teaser posters? -
I thought it couldn't get any worse when they cast "Overrated Afflect" as DD, then they cast Garner as Elektra (not a bad actress but all-wrong for the part), but then they dropped the nuclear bomb of stupidity by signing up Michael Clark Duncan, who nobody in his right mind would ever mistake for a criminal mastermind on his best day. This poster may be creative, but it won't be nearly enough to salvage this filmmaking disaster.
-
Can anybody explain to me why the fark Harry doesn't load these pics onto his server before he posts them? 9 times out of 10 I come here to look at a poster or something and I'm treated to a little red x. I go to the URL of the image and I see that it was taken down because it exceeded bandwidth usage. I was really looking forward to seeing these suckers, too... :-(

by moose420
First off i got to know why ppl make fun of harry so much, r they just bustin balls or do all of you not really like him,I'm a newbie to this site so i don't know the history about this but could sumone tellme, thanks. On to the posters , D&D looks cool,good teaser posters but yeah kind of does looks like fan art but could be real. Ghost Rider will be cool Eye-candy but the script reviews i 've read made it seem bad, I have also seen many reports that Nic Cage isn't involved in Ghost Rider anymore but then again On Access Hollywood they did a report on Comic book movies and they said Nic Cage is set to Star. My personal 2 cents is that JOHNNY KNOXVILLE SHOULD PLAY JOHNNY BLAZE!!! What u guys think? I think he could pull it off!
-
Dude, Harry and Matt Drudge are already little more than trivia question at this point. I expect Knowles on Hollywood Squares anytime now, or at least an answer to a question on Jeapordy: "He was once considered important to the film industry, until they realized that film geeks are inconsequential to the process"
Bong -
First off, the hell with Johnny Blaze. I love that version of the character, but Norrington and Goyer's screenplay concept of a vengeful supernatural killing machine massacring a bunch of redneck bikers sounds almost as bad as the Grayson/Kunigia mini-series that came out last year, obviously patterned after what was being talked about for the film, and totally underwhelmed me. It just didn't work. The early 90's GR, with a young guy suddenly swamped in tragedy, bound to an amnisiac,condemned soul, bent on avenging the innocent and punishing the guilty, was much more interesting, at least for the first 24 issues. Groovy foes like Deathwatch, Snowblind, Zodiak, Blackout, and Scarecrow were MADE for the screen. The mood was much more gloomy, and psychologically compelling than a stunt-biker wondering all over America, turning into a hateful, sadistic demon and torching the souls of the guilty. Not that that was bad,it's just that the 90's version would look and be much more interesting on film. Not to mention it would be better to build a franchise from. And for the twit who asked, "who'd want to see it", well, who wants to see a buch of guys and gals in leather jumpsuits fighting some freaks and an old guy on top of Liberty Island? Or, a geek turned wrestler turned vigilante sparring with a lunatic in metallic green body-armor and a frightmask helmet? Or, a black half-vampire vampire killer booty-kicking through two films? I mean, seriously, dumbass! Anyone who says "I want to watch a movie featuring a guy in tight leather/spandex fight other guys dressed similarly oddly" would probably see a film about a guy who turns into a leather-wearing, flaming-skulled demon biker! Jeez!
-
There's a reason fanboys seem to be exhibiting less and less influence over upcoming comic book adaptations: they've become spoiled. Seriously, I truly think that it's true. I mean during the mid- to late-90s, people were very conservative about voicing their opinions. The popular conception was that these movies were unlikely to ever see the light of respectable film projection (besides for Batman and possibly Superman, two franchises that had already been established). Throughout the comic collecting subculture, people would wistfully think, "Gee, I know 'X-MEN' will never get made, but one guy they could definitely cast is Patrick Stewart as Proffessor X." Even the casting of Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man, or at least, the NOT casting of Leo, Freddie, Franco, etc., was due to a collective voice throughout the internet. I truly think it would've happened regardless of how Raimi or Avi Arad felt. But the transition started during the filming of Spider-Man. People were like, "NO ORGANIC WEB-SHOOTERS! SAM RAIMI, YOU'RE A HACK!!!!!" All the while, Raimi probably thought to himself, "Yeahhh..., I think you guys are overreacting." When the final product was unleashed on the moviegoing masses, people realized that they were overreacting. So did Hollywood, who probably decided you guys are necessarily the reliable source for good ideas. Johnny Knoxville as Johnny Blaze? Sure he has that Appalachia-esque look, but can he act worth a damn, especially in a movie that deserves to be atmospheric. Personally, Johnny Depp (the old standby) is my ideal guy for Ghost Rider; he can act, he can disappear into a role, and he's been in plenty of dark movies in his own right. However, I don't really want to spout out ideas myself, since I don't know what effort the making of a good film constitutes, either. But another example is the negative reaction to David Goyer's parting from the project. Now I seriously hope the film does not develop into anything reMOTEly near PG fare, but last I heard, Goyer's script sucked (no pun intended). You people shouldn't get so worked up over his departure. I probably won't pass judgements on Werewolf By Night or Deathlok until they actually reach production since I basically know shit about both characters, but I hope that they're both approached with some integrity. I know both films, Deathlok in particular, appear to have the potential for devolving into schlock, but an honest approach may at least make them entertaining and smart.
P.S.,
Harry, don't listen to these people razz you about your ineptitude concerning marketing. Giving away the movie's shocker through advertising that is WAY too revealing, crappy taglines: Yup, I'd say you'd fit right in. -
Ghost Rider looks really cool, but that's all he is: a look. as a kid, i loved Ghost Rider cause what's not to like about a skeleton on fire riding a motorcycle when your 8 years old? but for the life of me, i can't remember a goddamn thing about the character. i bet Method Man feels the same way. i also used to dig Moon Knight as a kid, but all i can remember now was that he had a neat-o hood and there were a bunch of Egyptian references? there's not much that's compelling about them accept for th look. that's a real shame, cause you could you short change a self-immolating motor cycle riding skeleton dude?
-
the "Daredevil" poster as well. It's unique, it certainly references the character, and if anything it's not condescending. Perhaps the real film should try a similar "teaser" approach (and of course credit the guy who did it, as there are so many thieves in Tinseltown). Still have my share of qualms on the casting of this movie though, and frankly, does "Daredevil" have the same kind of fanbase that "Spider-Man," "X-Men," and "Batman" did? -
... Broken Image Links Man!
-Harry (well his webmastewr, anyway) strikes again! -
Except for the Daredevil one they're all just tiny boxes with a little red "x" in them? How is that supposed to tell me what the movies' about? sk
-
I don't now what it is, but when I look at the Deathlok, and Ghost Rider posters,it just SCREAMS 80s at me. It must be because both their colour schemes, font and general presentation reminds me of those 20 year old pinball machines that occupy the lobby of the local mall's movie theater.
I just hope the movies are better than their advertising campaigns. Especially Ghost Rider. -
Why not use a blurry, expanding ring (like the ones from Dark City) that emerges from silhouette of a man's head with horns?
I'm guessing one of the major senses used in a DD movie will be his radar sense, which comic books display as a rings expanding from a point, like waves in water.
It could even work with DD's blindness, as the blurry aspect of the poster would give off the impression of eye sight.
Seems like you can get DD's image on the poster, display one of his powers and still be striking. -
It always seemed like a lame character to me. . .
-
really inventive...hope they don't go for anything childish and take the high concept route...Affleck has drawing power... his name and Farrels will have an effect...
-
Yo, that Deathlok poster looks HELLA retarded! You can't even tell it's a friggin' superhero movie! That's goin' straight to video for sure.
