Last year I was planning on going this year. Next year definitely. Which is exactly what I said last year….

Awesome, first Comic-Con and it will be awesome!

no Kevin Conroy for Batman: Under the Red Hood ?? Is Bruce Greenwood voicing batman ?

Man, the worst part of Comic-Con is devising a strategy/plan to get to the panels you want to go to. Last year, I gave up on most panels just because the lines have gotten progressively worse each year.

Bruce Greenwood has an awesome voice and I think he’s perfect as the voice of Batman. Check out the trailers.

Any ideas on whether they might make the Comic-Con in SD a twice-a-year event rather than try to have everything packed into just one week/weekend? That might relieve congestion problems as well as allow more scheduling flexibility for both the stars and fans. (And some of each might decide to attend both installments!)

I think of all those panels, I’d be most interested in The Big Bang Theory, unless Kurtzman, Orci, Quinto and Greenwood want to get together to reveal something special about the next Nu-Trek.

If tomorrow real aliens visit Earth and make contact with us, how would that impact the development of story and script for the next Star Trek movie? Would you ignore it? Would you retcon it into it? Or would that be the death of Star Trek as a science fiction franchise?
