are they really bothering to make this, isnt it going to be a bit wank???
That pic does look cool tho |
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Wow. Very cool image and it looks very, very similar to the original armour as seen in the comics way back when.
As for being 'wank', only time will tell. It won't be Spider-Man, maybe not even X-Men (first two) or Batman Begins but it should be a darned sight better than Superman Returns. |

Jon Favearu is a good director so should be good hopefully. The image there the Mark 1 armour, apparently by the end of the film you see the red/yellow armour. | ||||||

as much as I dislike Robert Downey Jr, I am really looking forward to this | ||||||
| The Rascal King |
Hehehe, you know what I'm finding funny about that?
The "blaster" he has on his right arm? Isn't that just a spray-painted Super Soaker bottle? 
|
||||||
| Reaper |
Heh looks that way | ||||||
| Guest |
Looks very cool.
Super soaker and all!! |
||||||
| The Rascal King |
I think the reason Iron Man is wearing a Super Soaker, is reverse psychology.
See, villians would see it, and think "hmm, he's using it as a weapon, he must not fear it. Now, he's not using guns, so maybe he fears those." Thus, they use guns, to obviously no effect. However, had they used a Super Soaker, WOAHHHH say hello to the Asphyxiated Rust Man! |

would tony stark do that job himself? | ||||||
| The Rascal King |
Yes he would, so its a secret. | ||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Is that a plug hole on Stark's chest?!? | ||||||
| Guest |
I do hope thats sarcasam.
It's his chest plate. Shrapnel in the heart remember... |
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
It was a lame effort at jest...
Still, Downey Jr certainly looks the part... |
||||||
| Longshot |
He does actually look like stark. Its funny, the first picture made me think this would be joke, then this picture maked me really excited. It might actually be good. | ||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Here's the Iron Man armour in its full glory:

OMFG - that is SWEET!

Boy Wonder, that guy looks like the one in your signature weeeiiiirrrrd, how did you do that? | ||||||

Thats not at all bad. | ||||||

Though it is a Pre-Visualisation so there is still potential for them to screw it up buuuuuut atleast its a good pre-vis | ||||||
| Web of Fear |
Looks good. | ||||||
| The Rascal King |
That looks pretty spot on to me. | ||||||

Adi Granov, who drew the IM in Boy Wonder's signature, is also working on the movie.

Iron man is a girl 
|
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Web of Fear has the answer to that one. And I hadn't noticed it before... now I have. Sweeeeeeet!

Errm it was more of a rhetorical and joke question

It's late.

Ah that explains Ann's complaints | ||||||

Is that The Titanium Man...? | ||||||

The Iron Man doesn't look too bad in the photo | ||||||

Some crafty behind the scenes camera work!

Apparently IESB was closed down for a short while because Paramount freaked out about them posting some confidential photos | ||||||
| Reaper |
Have to give Marvel credit for consistency. In the Ultimates series you've had a Samuel L Jackson lookalike as Nick Fury and apparently its very likely that Sam L Jackson will be making a brief appearance as..... Nick Fury in Iron Man. | ||||||
| waffle |
heh - I just came here to post the very same thing.
Samuel L Jackson - it was a given really wasn't it? |
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Now... given the rumour that Marvel are quite keen for Robert Downey JR to reprise his role as Tony Stark in the proposed Avengers movie, I wonder if they would also consider doing the same with Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.
Thinking about this for a minute, and considering the importance that Nick Fury has to the Captain America mythology, wouldn't it be cool if Samuel L. Jackson were to appear in that movie too? I quite like the idea of Nick Fury taking a roving role between the Marvel movies; gives the movie franchise more of a shared universe feel. |
||||||
| Reaper |
Which is something they could do with I think, though one of the big problems is that Marvel sold off the movie rights to various interconnected characters many years ago so getting that to happen doesn't look hugely likely.
Kinda like the Hobbit ever being made |
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Could they not do that with the Marvel Studios based movies though...?
Which may mean that Nick Fury could very easily appear in the Iron Man, Captain America & Avengers productions... |
||||||
| Reaper |
Well yeah they could without a problem, I was thinking about the X-Men, Spider-Man etc fanchises that they sold off. | ||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
In Nick Fury's case, that wouldn't be a problem as he has very little to do with either Spider-Man or The X-Men but I can see how that perhaps affects a character like Ben Urich who plays a role in both the Spider-Man and Daredevil mythologies. | ||||||
| Reaper |
They've released the first Main Cast shot of the Iron Man group.
Its the kind of thing they could use in a poster but will probably look more at home in a magazine article of some sort. Paltrow and Bridges look very different to normal. 
|
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
I had no idea that Gwyneth Paltrow was in the movie!
Robert Downey Jr really does look like Tony Stark, doesn't he? And no matter how some of us may feel about Tony in the comics, I am hoping this movie is as good as it looks so far. |
||||||
| Guest |
Don't forget those right have only been sold for a set amount of time - Marvel will get them back in the end. |
||||||
| Reaper |
True although Fox made the original F4 movie in the early 90s solely to keep hold of the rights, so I'm not sure how that works in the scheme of things. | ||||||
| Guest |
Depends on the contract I guess | ||||||

A new image for y'all

| Batmanuel |
I cant help feeling, that the Iron-Man film will flop, i doesen't matter that the film might be good, it doesen't matter that Marvel have tried to make Iron-Man a force in the Marvel Universe, at the end of the day he is a second stringer, much like Ghost Rider, and that was a great movie, did it do well? not really, why? because most people didn't know who he was.
and the iron-man, well who the F**K is he....

Check out the new cover of Empire. | ||||||

Web Of:
And i got an adveret for a mobile phone from the link, oh hang on, whats that in the far corner all tiny and not very interesting, that be the Iron-Man cover for Empire that be, Yawn, one pats his mouth as not to be rude
anyone for a soup going cold contest, No... bet my paint will dry faster than yours

Dude, those things are BOR-ING.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and watch my grass grow. |

Something you might appreciate | ||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Iron Man on the cover of Empire...?
I know the reaction has been fairly middling on the site... but it is encouraging to see a second-tier character given that level of exposure on the cover of one of the UK's prominent movie magazines. It's not even his first appearance in the last six months... he was also on the Bryan Hitch drawn cover earlier this year... Any exposure has to be good for not only the movie but also the industry in general. Personally, I think the movie will do fairly well. It's not going to draw Spider-Man numbers, may struggle to give The Dark Knight a run for its money (although the gross for Batman Begins was nowhere near Spider-Man levels itself) but will surely do better than Daredevil and Ghost Rider. If the film is good and it enjoys positive critical review (and my hopes here are high), then it may do well. |

I saw that pic earlier... tis very, very cool!

Heh fun | ||||||

Is that true...?
Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury...? My nerdiness won't be able to cope! And the cartoon's pretty funny too!

OMG. This looks AMAZING!!!!

||||||
| The Rascal King |
Holy shit.......
Wow. Just, yeah. Wow. I'm seeing that one. But May next year? Come on! Thats ages! I don't want to have to wait! I want to go back to when I didn't really care about this movie, so its a nice surprise when its out, but I'm not waiting endlessly for it. Becuase now I'm going to be waiting. |
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
I love how egotistical Stark came across before the explosion - and that he also has a drink in his hand too!
Brilliant trailer - absolutely sold me. Although is it uncool to mention that I think I prefer the clunky grey armour...? Iron Man. Next year's surprise hit super hero film...? I think so - and it may not be that much of a surprise... |
||||||
| The Rascal King |
Yeah, I was loving his attitude as well. Perfect, really.
And at the end, just after powering on his afterburners or whatever, just makes me think of Guile in Street Fighter, "Sonic BOOM!" |
||||||
| Xeall |
well i never saw that coming. they have the character and the origin down, but do they have a good plot beyond that? anyone know who the evil robot is meant to be? best not be ultron, ultimo i can handle. | ||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Neither Ultron or Ultimo... I think it may be a variation on the Titanium Man... but don't quote me on that. | ||||||
| norsefire1 |
saw the trailer to this at the start of the week, looking good...what i like about it is that it looks like there makeing tony stark, by makeing him make a moral choice.not just makeing a origin story movie where a guy makes a costume and fights crime. | ||||||
| Longshot |
Now that looked hot, i'm looking forewards to it being about Tony Stark and not just iron man, as to be honest iron man doesent have much to go on as a character. But the suits do look very cool, looking forewards to this quite a bit. | ||||||
| Xeall |
well the random bio on the marvel website might have given the game away, iron monger! makes sense | ||||||

Yeah. It looks freekin' awsome.
Movie trip, anyone? |
||||||
| Batmanuel |
Yes it does, doesnt it, which sticks in my throat, but hey Iron man was always the easiest character to Draw, so it stands to reason that he will be the easiest character to produce a film of.
|
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
If there is a cinema trip, I'm going to pay for a scene to be included where Tony Stark tells the people that 'Registration is Right' and that 'Captain America surrenders like the French'.
|
||||||
| CatFang |
Perhaps you can all act out Civil War outside the cinema afterwards. I think you all know your sides and your roles.
Betting starts here... |
||||||
| Xeall |
Boy Wonder
you going down boy! CatFang, Batmanuel, Whatever Comics ASSEMBLE! CatFang
20 on me making boy wonder surrender like a little girl. On a side note they have released the worst line in the film (i hope) 'Tony your not a soldier' 'damn right i'm not, i'm an army!' *shudder* |
||||||
| CatFang |
Yay - the good guys got the team slogan first! |
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
You're the good guys?!?
Well, I'm sure Dr Doom is quaking in his boots right now.
Besides, when you see me stride to the cinema in my Boy Wonder costume and marvel at my tights and yellow cape, you'll surrender quicker than Captain America when confronted with the truth at the end of Civil War. And I am the truth!!!
MWUH-HA-HAH!!! |
||||||

No no.... You sir are just plain wrong and there's special cells for people with your condition. And they're locked up very tightly. | ||||||

Any man who comes near me in tights gets a punch! I'm not homophobic just playing it safe! You think this A stands for tollerance?..........yeah. |
||||||
| Xeall |
oh and Rascal is going to be like our Punisher. He really doesn't care but the second i offer him a pint (like villains being used to him) he'll be on our side, until he gets arrested for stealing a road sign and then i have to slap him about a bit.
We look forward to you spider-man realising the truth and swaping sides.
|
||||||
| CatFang |
*slyly edits punctuation* I know. And you would be...?
I guess you're not going to have a difficult time finding a row of seats to yourselves then
Be careful - we might all get reset to the 80s! All together now..."oh -oh we're livin' on a pray-er" You're all too young for that aren't you 
|
||||||
| Xeall |
no i remember it but do that again and your off the team.
or as cap A once said 
|

Livin' on a Prayer! Cooooooooooooool! | ||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Are you telling CatFang to go home and make you dinner...? Cuz that, sir, is no way to talk to a lady!
No... it stands for AGH! I SURRENDER!! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!!! Hm... so after we re-enact Civil War... does that mean we then have to team up and go hunt Skrulls...? |
||||||
| Reaper |
I call shotgun | ||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
I want the axe.
No, wait... forget the axe... I'll have the chainsaw. It'll go better with the cape, methinks. After all, if I am going slightly insane, I may as well do it properly.
|
||||||
| CatFang |
*sulks* I guess it can't be the team song then? *mutters* Was only trying to be prepared for turn-coat, arachnoid, gerontophile devil-dealers...can't help some people....
Damn right! And if you ask a CatFang to make dinner this is what you get! 
If you are lucky!! I can only be at the cinema in spirit - but I call dibs on spiritual nail gun |

So is that what McDonalds are serving now?
Get it here first - The Big Bloodied Rat Burger! |
||||||
| Xeall |
they are my favorite! how did you know?
talking like that to ladies worked before......wait why am i single again?
not likely my boy! We shall settle this man to man and by that i mean you hide your guys over there i'll hide mine over here and we'll pretend were fighting fair. |
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
That sounds more like:
'Why are we fighting? Let's go to the pub and watch Arsenal beat Milan!'
Maybe that's how Civil War should have ended. |
||||||
| Xeall |
sir that is the best suggestion i have heard you make. however like all of your idea's its a bit optomistic and probably won't work. 
Either way Bats just said that 'Whatever comics assemble' is now a slogan for the shop. So by default we win! |
||||||
| The Rascal King |
....Sounds about right. Wait, you're going to buy me a drink? Score! We can replace Skrulls with Zombies, if its on the day of the Zombie walk. |
||||||
| Robin The Boy Wonder |
Oh, really...?
(You know what I'm talking about) |
