Cool. I was actually expecting them to focus on Mary Jane, for the new audience. Good news.

Just from her looks, I wouldn't have casted her for the role, but let's see what they can make of it.

Me neither. Nor would I have casted Kirsten Dunst as the sexy, voloptious MJ Watson. The casting director might have a thing for thin white skanks!?

But perhaps they would deem it too unrealistic that Peter would get a hot babe to fall in love with him. Or 2 hot babes.

I would have prefered if they brought in Black Cat though. Gwen isnt really all that important anymore in the current Spiderman world. Hell, even back when I was a teen, Gwen was already a thing of the past.

I was thinking about which villains I would love to see in the SPidey movies, and to me Venom is absolute favourite, and Tombstone was also pretty cool... but I think the comics I enjoyed most were the ones where Spidey was fighting The Hulk, or The Punisher. Especially the Punisher is such a fucking cool character, as well as deep, that it's a wonder they fucked up those movies about him.

Probably will never see a movie where Spidey will fight either one of those, though... everyone owing different rights to the characters and all...
But it could have been AWESOME, a big ass fight between The Hulk and Spidy, where they battle their way through New York, destroying and throwing everything in sight.

I know Gwen Stacy from the comic, not the animated series though, it'll be cool if they put Felicia Hardy (aka The Black Cat) in the movies.

Not meaning to sound dumb, but isnt The Black Cat just a rip-off of Catwoman from Batman?

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 19 Jan 2006, 11:45

Hmm... the Black cat in the batman comics sometimes differs from backstory. In the Animated series she's quite rich (like Felicia Hardy), but in Batman Year One she starts out as a hooker/pimp (If that IS Catwoman). AS catwoman is blonde and gorgeous, while comic Catwoman often has dark hair, often short.

Halle Barry catwoman hasnt got much to do with the batman catwoman though. They completely fucked the backstory all up.

But yeah, they have a couple of simularities. Although obviously Catwoman has an intense love for cats, while Black Cat hasnt. Also, Black Cat temporarily had a 'superpower' which would inflict 'bad luck' on her opponents, while catwoman never had any superpowers.

Ain't Batman Year One just an alternative universe take graphic novel on the Batman's origins by Frank Miller and not actually part of the official canon?

In regards to villains, last I heard they were considering Venom and Sandman (with Thomas Haden Church's name being bounced around for the latter role).

BRYCE HOWARD

RON HOWARD

Gwen Stacy is a blonde.. no?

Bloody hell, Ron has really let himself go since his Richie Cunningham days

Bryce Howard looks fucking disgusting, she's anorexic too.

Are we also forgetting Uncle Clint Howard?

Jaysus H. Christ!!

You should put a warning before an image like that.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 21 Jan 2006, 09:48

Bryce is the wrong choice to be cast as Gwen IMO, conversely I've no problem whatsoever with Kirsten as MJ.

LOL, Mark.

But please change the captions to the photos you have posted. Otherwise people will think that Gwen Stacy is being played by an old hairless freak.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 21 Jan 2006, 13:25

The captions ARE the joke, LD.

I'm amazed people keep getting confused by this... 8)

Hey,

SPIDEY IN A BLACK SUIT!!!

http://spiderman.sonypictures.com/

People who know the comic/cartoon will know what this could mean! 8)

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 25 Feb 2006, 21:11

should have got a fresh director for this movie-a new approach is needed.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 25 Feb 2006, 21:13

Why?

Is Raimi still directing?

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 25 Feb 2006, 23:13

Doesnt seem like the black suit. Just seems like a picture of his normal suit only a black and white version of the picture. The REAL Black Suit doesnt have the web-texturing etc on it.
If THIS IS the black suit, it looks like shite.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 25 Feb 2006, 23:34

LOL, have you even read what the site says? It's the official site. But then, they could be trying to confuse fans.

If that means Venom, though, I can only say: BRING IT ON!!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 26 Feb 2006, 08:52

Doesn't look like a b/w picture to me, it looks too dark.
Anyway Venom was just an alien substance that blended with his costume so he got a new black suit, so maybe it could keep the web design in the film. But you're right, in the cartoon/comic the black suit doesnt have the web-texturing

Yes I did

It says "You may think you're looking at a black and white picture. Look closely, Spider-Man wears a black suit in Spider-Man 3".

Things may change before its release though

No. "The Dark Knight Returns" and "The Dark Knight Strikes Again" were "alternate universe" graphic novels. Even though the former has gotten the credit for re-inventing and breathing life back into the Batman saga.

Frank Miller's YEAR ONE was run as BATMAN issues 404 through 407 in 1986, trying to focus on the early days of BATMANs crimefighting. It's a classic.

So was it written before or after the Crisis of Infinite Earths? And is it counted as post-Crisis continuity?
