#31—”Superman has always been my favourite Super Hero! Followed closely by Batman!”

I might be a total geek for pointing this out…but Batman is a very human vigilante with really cool gadgets…not a “Super Hero”.

IMO, “super heroes” have “super powers”.

Superman is a “super hero”. And he is my favorite one as well. Batman is in another category, IMO.

Batman=vigilante with cool gadgets

Bond=spy with cool gadgets

Indiana Jones=average guy with “superhuman luck”

Captain Kirk=prototypical alpha-male hero in science fiction setting

Superman=alien being whose exposure to the Sun affords him “superpowers” within our solar system

They are all fantastic heroes, but in very incomparable categories/genres.

That Star Trek Marathon sounds like an interesting idea. Since I have nothing to do on 26th December 2008 (the day Star Trek was meant to open in Australia) I might as well watch all 10 movies back to back!!! I was planning on spending the day cursing Paramount however I think this would be a much more effective use of my time!!

BTW why does Superman need another reboot? I thought Superman Returns (2006) was an awesome movie and a great way to reboot the franchise. They even had a sequal (The Man Of Steele) planned! Granted it wasnt as successful as Batman Begins (2005) but it did the job it needed to do. Superman has always been my favourite Super Hero! Followed closely by Batman!

And does anyone know where else I can see that Robot Chicken clip? Apparently you can’t view the above clip if you are outside of the United States. Judging by some of the above comments its sounds hilarious and I would love to check it out!

Back in the early nineties I went to an erotic costume party as a “BiBorg”, with a similar “appendage” on the end of my arm. As a bonus a hidden switch caused it to squirm, rotate, and vibrate.

Just wondering, I asked this in another thread, but I’m asking again since the article mentions the report by Filmthreat.

Are we sure that the opening hasn’t been brought back to Christmas this year? I went to my local cinema last week, they were showing the Trek trailer and it said Boxing day (26th Dec) 2008. Is this a mistake???

I liked the Robot Chicken Gag but the timing isnt great….That comes on a week after the real Star Trek the Experience closes…Sigh….Also when I was there I never saw any teen aged looking star trek nerds with pot bellys and nerdy lisping type talk..Most of the ones I saw were like me, in their 40s and 50s bald with pot bellies wearing a star trek shirt and able to speak quite clearly!!! AHAHAHAH….IOh and the gorgeous sexy woman Star Trek Experience actress…that had to be APRIL! hahahahah

The Static Klingons joke is actually a complete rip off! It was either Far Side or Speed Bump comic strips in the paper that did that same thing over a decade ago. The fact that it is a similar type one box strip makes me think that this isn’t nearly coincidence.

Ah, Jack Soo. I loved “Barney Miller.” One of the most underrated shows in TV history. The episode with they guy who thought he was a werewolf was sheer brilliance from start to finish. Great characters. Great show.

it is not ‘fine and dandy’ to bash anyone here for any reason.
