Nevermind if I think Kevin Spacey *is* Nite Owl etc.. all this idle speculation will amount to nothing because Tordelbach is essentially right on all counts.
Why Hollywood movie production companies to feel it necessary to throw good money after bad in the pursuit of making sometimes feeble and grossly inaccurate film renditions of our favourite comic book protagonists does annoy me.
The argument about bringing them to a wider audience in light of Judge Dredd, LOXG and countless others is a poor one.
To swell their already immense collective bank balances IMHO is to miss the point, instead why not inject some cash back into the comics industry?
Bring back some of the talent that has been lured away by other mediums of entertainment and elevate the quality and generally perceived status of reading, collecting and making comic books to something better than -and I paraphrase an acquaintance here- a closet pastime for anoraks.
I shall now have my soapbox broken up for firewood and sod off to make the dinner.
